Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Hello, Miss Melanie," Charlotte replied with a friendly smile.

"Hello, Sheryl," she greeted Sheryl warmly, then turned to Charlotte. "Ms. Emerson, it's a shame that you couldn't make it to the family event. Sheryl's dad did such a great job, but unfortunately, both parents must be present in order to receive the participation gift."

As she spoke, sympathy hung on Miss Melanie's face. Meanwhile, Charlotte's mind only turned into mush with every word of hers.

Family event? What family event?

Sheryl's dad?

Intuitively, Charlotte looked at Sheryl. She found that her sharp-witted child had quickly broken free from her clutch and fled without giving Charlotte a chance to utter a word.

Catching the bafflement in Charlotte's eyes, Miss Melanie asked in confusion, "Ms. Emerson, were you not aware of the event?"

Truth be told, she was truly unaware of it. However, at that moment, the one thing she could do was simply to give a random excuse. "Oh, no, Miss Melanie. It's just that I've been a little busier than I'd like lately, and it just slipped my mind."

Charlotte chuckled awkwardly.
