Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Rick's heart broke into pieces by her silence.

Suddenly, she moved closer to him.

Charlotte planted a kiss on the tip of his nose. She stayed still and chuckled, "I thought you were worried about something else. If that's the case, I'll reject him immediately and quit the Airline Union."

"You..." He was stunned.

"Rick, I'm willing to give up everything for my hard-earned happiness. You have the courage to gamble, but I have the courage to risk it all."

Probably because of the sweet scent of her body. He reached out to hold her in his arms and was about to kiss her.

Her eyelashes fluttered, she trembled slightly and her body stiffened up. Although her eyes were closed, her breathing was rugged.

She was nervous.

Rick suddenly felt regret for what he had done.

Just how far had he pushed her?

She would rather hold back her sadness, say what he wanted to hear, and stay by his side.

Should he be touched?

No, he should feel disgusted by himself.

He had used the most despicable way to make her feel his sadness and love at the moment when she was weakest. He practically forced her to make a choice twice on the most important decisions of her life. Rick had a good future, he could have a pick from countless women but he had to force the woman he loved to give up on herself.

"You'd have a better future at the Airline Union. You don't have to give it up over something so trivial." Rick moved away and ruffled her hair gently. "Sit tight, let's go home."

"Rick..." She looked at him, her eyes a little red.

"Well get married as planned. Don't worry. I just wanted you to give me a definite answer. Congratulations, you passed the test."

"Huh?" Charlotte was completely dumbfounded.

Rick smiled and said, "Working with Shane would only bring us benefits. If I can't even see this clearly, my years in this business would've been wasted. I'll go back and look through the documents and see how we can profit the most."

Charlotte was quite doubtful of this. "Are you really not angry? You really don't care?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

She hesitated and slowly shook her head.

"That's right. Sit down please."

Charlotte sat back in the passenger seat. She fastened her seat belt and looked at the text message on her phone. It felt quite tasteless.
