Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Alright, Lottie, please don't be angry," cajoled Anne coyly as she tugged at Charlotte's arm.

Still, Charlotte remained livid. She glared at Braden, who was sitting opposite her, and completely ignored poor Anne.

At this moment, however, Braden was acting much more gentlemanly than his usual self. He sat rigidly with a straight back and allowed Charlotte's gaze to sweep over him.

A good while later, Braden sprung up abruptly.

His sudden actions greatly startled Charlotte and she backed up instinctively.

"Charlotte Emerson! Here, I, Braden Collins, cordially apologize to you for my past actions. I should not have made assumptions about you and looked down on you." 6-foot tall Braden resembled a sturdy wall

as he stood in front of Charlotte unwaveringly. "I swear that I will definitely treat Anne well. I will devote myself and be a loyal man for her." To substantiate his intention, he even raised his right hand to make an oath. There was intense solemnity on his face in place of the usual mischief.

Charlotte couldn't help but do a double-take. Was this still the Braden Collins she knew?

Anne quietly gave Charlotte's arm a little prod, which brought her back to her senses. She nodded briefly at Braden with embarrassment.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses to celebrate Lottie proving her innocence. The truth is finally out!"

In an attempt to soften the tension in the air, Anne hoisted her glass midair.

However, Charlotte had more or less lost her yen for a celebration. As soon as she downed her glass, she hastily fumbled for an excuse to leave.

She simply couldn't fathom the reason Anne, being as picky as she was, would fall in love with Braden.

Indeed, one could not deny that Braden Collins looked like a million dollars. On top of his striking 6- foot figure, he had thick eyebrows and large eyes that accented his cheekbones. Moreover, he was also from an influential family. He was easily regarded as the cream of the crop.

But how was it possible for him as a playboy to mend his ways overnight?
