Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Charlotte let go of him and said, "Well, then let's go outside and chat with Kendall. I still have a lot to discuss with her."

"Don't you want to stay with me for a little longer?" Rick turned around and looked at her disappointedly.

"But, we're a family. We can chat whenever we want to. As long as you want to see me, we can do that for 24 hours. But it's different for her because she's not our family," Charlotte said sincerely. Family.

Rick felt like he had lost to Charlotte. With a sigh, he pulled her into a hug and said with a wry smile, "I have been completely defeated..."

Charlotte hugged him back. "In the end, I still inevitably bumped into Shane. I told him about how I promised you that I won't see him again, and guess what he said?"

"Hm?" Rick was utterly attentive.

"He said that the reason you were mad was that there's no way I could avoid him. He also added that the more I explain, the more it means that something's actually going on between us two. If our relationship is innocent, then why do we have to stop seeing each other?"

Rick lowered his guard and said, "Let's go out then."

"Alright."

Kendall was quite a talkative person and was also able to talk about a wide range of topics. Furthermore, her family was very outstanding. So, the words that came out of her mouth were natural, smooth, and relaxing.

The time to leave had arrived.

Once again, Kendall asked Charlotte if she could stay to accompany Rick. Charlotte smiled and gave her consent.

In fact, she also knew that Rick didn't really feel like seeing her at that moment. Moreover, there was a lot to be done at her company and partnership. She didn't have too much time to take care of Rick, so Kendall actually helped her by being there.

Kendall looked ecstatic. So, Charlotte paid no further attention to her and went back home on her own.

Early in the next morning.

As soon as Charlotte arrived at the office, her assistant immediately sent a message to her. She said that the Stevens Family joined the partnership, threatened Ashely with her dark secrets, and even ordered Manager Kent to leave.

Charlotte knew that Kendall did that for her sake, but she couldn't accept the way she did it. After all, Manager Kent didn't do anything that would actually harm her interests.

But it wouldn't be smart if Charlotte said this directly to her face.

"Just pretend that you don't know about this and don't provide any assistance. I won't participate in anything that concerns the partnership for now. Kendall will know that I actually don't want her to help." Charlotte handed back the documents and said, "Destroy them."

"Yes," the assistant responded.

Charlotte had been busy the entire morning. At noon, she received a call from Avery, inviting her to have lunch with him.
