Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 197

Charlotte had class up to nine. She finally finished taking down her notes. She was about to leave when she was dragged to the library by her classmates.

The River City University.

It was also known as the River City University of Finance and Economics.

It was a top-notch Academy, ranked third in the whole country.

Among them, the University of River City and Brine University had a long history so their reputation was better.

Hence studying was the most important in the top university in the country. Some people may get involved in relationships but even so it would be based on mutual encouragement.

Even though Charlotte was reluctant, she had no choice but to follow.

By the time she completed her test paper, it was already ten o'clock.

She went back to the dorm.

As she was about to open the door, she caught the scent of a familiar cologne. She instinctively wanted to walk away but she ended up opening the door as if nothing happened.

As soon as she opened the door, someone grabbed her wrist.

"Why are you still looking for me?" Charlotte pushed his hand away.

"Thank you for your help at the wedding."

He opened with a relatively interesting line.

According to Charlotte's nature, she would definitely probe further on what happened next.

Unexpectedly, she just nodded. "Okay. If there is nothing else. You can go."

Shane fiddled with his fingers. "Why did you risk your life to save me..."

"I just didn't want to see you die. Sheryl would be devastated if that happened."

"Only she will be devastated?"

Charlotte walked around as if nothing had happened. "I don't know. How would I know what other people would feel?"

Shane simply followed her into the house.

Her room was very clean and tidy. The rose on the table emitted a pleasant scent. Charlotte drew the curtains, turned on the air conditioner and took off her coat and scarf.

She turned around and looked at him. "Mr. Fuller, is there anything else you need?" "Mr. Fuller?"

"How did you contract pelvic inflammatory disease?"

Charlotte was stunned. She did not expect him to know about this matter. However, since he had already known about it, there was no need for her to keep it a secret.

She flipped her hair and smiled bitterly. "Thanks to you. Those two days were the hardest days of my menstrual period. You know that, don't you?"

He had completely forgotten about it.

"Generally, it would be fine if I took the necessary precautions. But, I was out of luck so I contracted pelvic inflammatory disease which almost took my life."

"I can make it up to you," Shane said as he took out a blank check.

In the past.

She would have felt sad and her heart would be filled with bitterness.

But this time, she didn't.

She smiled and shook her head. "No, I'm not short of money. Mr. Fuller, you're barely getting by yourself so you don't have to worry about it. Don't worry, everyone has their desires. I can understand."

Her words were light and soft.

Desire...

Shane's fingers trembled. He steadied himself and put the check on the table.

Both of them were quiet for a moment.

A moment later, Charlotte's phone rang. It was Rick. She quickly pressed down on the hands-free call button.

"Is your class over?" A gentle voice spoke over the phone.

"I've already returned to my dorm. Did you tell Sheryl I would be home by Saturday?"

"Yes, she said she missed you very much. By the way, she went to see Shane today. Avery took her there."

"Is that so?" Charlotte raised her head and glanced at Shane.

"If Shane meets you later..."

"I will tell him that we are about to get married. I hope he can stay away from me. I don't want any accidents to happen again."

Rick chuckled and said even more tenderly, "Okay, see you on Saturday."

"See you."

She ended the call.

Charlotte put down her phone and said, "You heard that. I don't care what you Avery told you or what you promised Sheryl. All I know is I'm getting married to Rick. So please, leave me alone."

"That day, you persuaded Rex for me, not for Christopher?"

"Just take it as if I did that for Christopher. Wouldn't it be better for you if I put it this way?"

Better?

Shane's heart seemed to have been stabbed by someone. For a moment, he could not even breathe.

Charlotte stood up and stood before the window so her back was facing him. She continued, "That day I tried my best to help you resolve the issue with Rex. But I never imagined that I would almost lose my uterus in return. Even though I already have a child, I still hope to have another baby with Rick."

Have another child with Rick...

"You are already thinking of having a baby with him?" Shane held her shoulders and asked coldly.

"That has nothing to do with you."

"Charlotte, you're mine!"

"Yours? Mr. Fuller, even if I'm yours, you've never felt sorry for me after our divorce. "She turned to face him. "Ever since I'm no longer useful to you, did you care and spend your time on me as you did before?"

"Didn't I?" He retorted in disbelief.

He even gave her his shares.

Isn't that enough?

Charlotte laughed scornfully, "Perhaps you have all the wealth in the world. Your intelligence is unparalleled to others but you still don't understand women. Mr. Fuller, please treat Tiffany well. At least she has liked you for so many years. I can't compare to that."

"If you care about Tiffany, I can..."

"Mr. Fuller, let's go our separate ways. It's embarrassing for both of us to continue this way."

In the past.

At least he loved her before.

Shane didn't let go of her and neither did Charlotte move.

After a long time.

He suddenly let go of her and said, "I'm sorry.' After saying these two simple words, he left.

Charlotte's eyes suddenly welled up with tears. Her knees turned weak and she fell down onto the cold ground. Her legs were freezing but she had no strength to do anything else but cry.

After god- knows- how- long, she finally propped herself up and staggered to the edge of the bed before lying down.

After today.

She would definitely be more in control of her emotions. The next time she faced him, she would be stronger so she would no longer be defeated by her emotions.

Definitely.

He wanted to say so much more.

But he didn't.

He didn't know how to say what he wanted.

Shane sat in the car, lit a cigarette. He let it burn without smoking it.

The car was filled with smoke. The smell of nicotine became more and more pungent.

The cigarette continued to burn up to his fingertips but he still didn't let go.

The spark left a shallow mark on his fingertip.

By the time he realised it and let go, the cigarette butt had already been extinguished.

He took out his mobile phone.

"Drinking?" Braden pinched his nose and asked curiously. "What's going on with our president? Drinking in the middle of the night? Aren't you working?"

"I lost her."

Braden was stunned. He straightened his body and asked, "You went to find Charlotte?"

"Yes."

"You should hold back your possessiveness. Wasn't it good when you were with her before? Why can't you control yourself after you are divorced?"

Shane simply told Braden the reason for the divorce.

In the beginning, it was only a test for her. Then, Charlotte agreed without a second thought. He left her in a fit of anger.

Later, there were people on the market who began to buy NC's shares and tried to acquire the company.

Shane transferred the shares to Charlotte.

Although they were divorced, he did not think that Charlotte's relationship with him would end.

Then, there was the departure and return of Christopher. In the end, Charlotte and Rick returned to River City together. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Everything had changed.

"I understand, you thought your toy has been taken away from you. " A thought suddenly crossed his mind and exclaimed, "You have a wild card. Sheryl is your daughter. Uhm... Wait, what did I say?"

Shane lit up a cigarette again but he still didn't smoke. He looked at the fire and said, "I know."

Braden was silent for a long time before he cried out, "You knew? You knew and you still..."

"I was waiting for her to tell me."

Braden didn't know what to say.

He was toxic.

He took a deep breath and said, "Then now she is going to marry Rick. What are you going to do? You just said that you lost her. Are you really letting her go?"
