Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"You said that Sheryl was at her grandmother's. How is she still..."

"Yes, she came over for lunch," Shane replied without a switch of expression.

"You could have told me."

"So that you could come over for lunch?"

Charlotte imagined that scene and thought of the consequences she would be facing if they were seen by others. She would probably be the target of gossip in the company.

She replied timidly, "It's better not to."

Shane seemed to laugh slightly. "I'm hanging up. Work hard."

"Wait a minute."

"Yes?"

"Will any other companies attend the celebratory dinner?" Charlotte asked.

Usually, for these large-scale, invitation-based banquets, people from other companies would be invited.

"The Emerson Corporation will be sending someone over," Shane said purposefully.

"Thank you." Her voice was very soft.

"Do you need any help?"

"This dress is already the best form of help you can provide. I'm not going to bring embarrassment upon NC... and you." Charlotte's voice softened towards the end as she hurriedly ended the call. "How strange," she thought. Being Shane's current secretary, it was normal to say things like this. Why was her heart beating so fast, then?

Sheryl, who was about to leave with Christopher, ran back to him when she saw him smile. She poked his face with a finger and said, "Daddy, you look so handsome when you smile!" "Do I not look good otherwise?" Shane teased her on purpose.

"You're good-looking either way. When you don't smile, you look like a handsome prince. When you smile, you look like an angel!" The little fellow said childishly. "That's my little cupcake."

Sheryl pointed to her cheek, and Shane bent down to kiss her face.

This time, the little fellow left in satisfaction with Christopher.

This little girl and her mom...

"They're pretty alright," he thought.

The whole company started getting busy in preparation for the celebratory feast.
