Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Sheryl looked up to find Elaine Emerson.

She wore a hypocritical smile under her thick, delicate makeup. Sheryl was a little frightened by her looks and backed away subconsciously.

By now, Charlotte had already caught up to her daughter.

However, she took no notice of Elaine as she grabbed Sheryl's hand and chastised, "Sheryl, you mustn't run around! There are so many people here, what if you meet a bad guy?" Sheryl didn't utter a word in response. Instead, she cowered behind her.

Charlotte raised a suspicious eyebrow at Sheryl's strange reaction. Just then, Elaine spoke. "So, you're Sheryl! What an adorable little girl you are."

Hearing this voice, Charlotte raised her head. Instantly, her face darkened.

"What are you doing here?" asked Charlotte with a scoff.

'Neat,' Elaine thought. Before she could hunt Charlotte down, she had taken the initiative to deliver herself to her doorstep.

Elaine smiled. "Lottie, why are you being so defensive? We used to be the best of friends."

"Mommy, are you two best friends?" asked Sheryl in a whisper.

Charlotte peered down at her daughter and shook her head unhesitatingly.
