Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

After dinner, Shane received an urgent call and left in a hurry.

Sheryl's eyebrows were knitted tightly together as she stared in the direction of Shane's departure with reluctance.

A long while later, Sheryl was still unwilling to head home.

"Mommy, can I invite Mr. Handsome over more often to play?" Sheryl suggested cautiously but ceased to conceal the eagerness in her eyes.

Although Sheryl was barely four years old, she could tell that Charlotte had been keeping her guard up around Mr. Handsome. Still, that didn't change the fact that she was extremely fond of him.

Seeing her daughter acting this way, Charlotte let out a soft sigh and surrendered. "Sure."

"Yay! This is amazing!" Sheryl jumped for joy. "Mommy, I love you."

A contented grin emerged on Charlotte's face. "Mommy loves you too, honey."

Later at night.

After coaxing Sheryl to sleep, Charlotte lay on the sofa and stared at the ceiling in a daze. The image of Shane's face kept looping in her mind like a movie when a thought suddenly flashed through her head. 'The only thing keeping him from scoring full marks is the fact that he's Yuliana's fiance.'

"Charlotte Emerson, what are you thinking?" She gave herself a firm slap on the head to ward off the idea.
