Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Rick..."

Braden was shocked. He thought that since he had been with Shane for so long, he had long been accustomed to sharp glares. He did not expect there to be someone in this world who had a colder gaze than Shane's.

He didn't expect that his wife's older brother would be so tough under that gentle appearance of his.

Charlotte noticed that something wasn't right between the two of them. She coughed lightly and said, "Actually, I had the same thought as well. In order to help me become Jane Corporation's local CEO, Rick must have given up something. So, I will work even harder and never back down."

Rick withdrew his gaze. As his lips quirked up, his attractive orbs were curved into a gentle arc. "I'm looking forward to your growth and performance."

"I won't let you down," Charlotte said, determined.

Braden closed his eyes again to rest.

He really didn't expect that Charlotte's will to fight would actually be ignited.

Soon, the plane landed.

Charlotte was holding Sheryl in her arms, so it was very difficult for her to hold her suitcase. Rick grabbed the handle of her suitcase naturally and said, "The company is selecting locations these few days, so I will be quite busy."

"Alright," Charlotte replied.

"Do you have any requirements for places to stay?"

"We... together?" Charlotte was stunned.

"It will be more convenient for us to book a place together, and we can also save travelling time," Rick said.

Charlotte fell silent. She felt that it was quite reasonable, but it was a little weird no matter how she thought about it.

Anne, who was beside them, said, "Why don't you stay at home?"

"It's too far, the house is in the suburbs."

"I have a house in the city center."

Everyone's eyes fell immediately on Braden.

His lips quirked lazily into a playful smile and said, "What's wrong? Are you surprised? I'm still the son of a rich man, after all."

Rick slightly shook his head and said, "You don't have to help us."

"Anne is my wife. There's nothing wrong with me helping out my brother-in-law. Perhaps, do you not dare to stay with Charlotte in my house? Are you daunted?"

"Braden?" Anne was not happy.

"Honey, I'm being considerate of your best friend. Think about it. It's impossible for them, an unmarried man and woman to rent a house alone together." Braden smiled, showing his white teeth. Anne fell silent. If Lottie and her brother were lovers, it was needless to say. However, they were not.
