Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Rick told Anne what he said to Charlotte without leaving out a word.

"I... I just feel like the relationship between both of you is a little complicated." Anne didn't even know what to say.

Rick smiled and said nothing.

Anne asked tentatively, "Well, what should we do now? Are you both going to stay in a fight?"

"Let's talk about this after I recover."

"Rick..."

"I'm fine," Rick said. He paused awhile and continued, "She's okay too."

Anne sighed.

Charlotte was in the garden alone, lost in her thoughts. Her phone vibrated a few times before she snapped back to reality. She hurriedly picked it up and said, "Hello?"

"Darling, it's me." Avery said lightly from the other end of the line.

Charlotte lowered her voice and replied, "Are you nuts?"

Was it allowed to randomly address anybody as

"darling"?

"Probably. I drank a lot. Hurry up and fetch me home, darling."

"That's none of my business."

"Wow, Aria. You are so heartless. I am your brother!"

Wait a minute.

Had Avery mistaken Charlotte for somebody else?

Charlotte hesitated for a moment and asked Avery to provide his current address.

The main reason was that there was nothing she could do if she stayed in the hospital. Rick wouldn't want to see her anyways.

Charlotte texted Anne to tell her that she had to go help a friend in need. After Anne read her text, she looked over to her brother, who was sleeping soundly, and replied with an "Okay". Shortly afterwards, Charlotte rushed to the bar.

Avery was leaning against the bar counter alone. His wallet, which had no cash, sat still beside his hand, his credit cards scattered all over the floor.

"Hello, what's wrong with him?" Charlotte questioned the bartender.

"I don't know." The bartender didn't feel like meddling in their affair.

Charlotte fished out her purse and withdrew 500 dollars from it. "Please, this is my...brother."
