When Shane said they were here to meet Ryland Stevens, he didn't mean that they had agreed to meet here. Instead, he was saying that he knew Ryland was coming here, but Ryland didn't know that he was coming here.

So, that was the reason why he dressed differently today and took down Charlotte's scrunchy.

But even so, Charlotte still couldn't accept it. She was used to dressing up to look mature. So, she found it slightly hard to accept that she had to dress the way she did when she was in university.

When she was pregnant with Sheryl, she was only 18. Five years had passed, but she was only 23. If she wanted to find a good job, of course, she couldn't show her immaturity. That was where her idea of dressing up to look more mature came from.

But now, she was instantly back to how she used to look.

Charlotte walked beside Shane, feeling very uncomfortable.

Shane gave her a sidelong glance and asked, "What's the matter? Are you not happy anymore?" "I haven't let down my hair in a long time, and you revealed my bangs too. Do I look like a child?" More like a little woman who needed protection.

Shane didn't respond. He just slid down his hand to hold her hand, pulling her closer to him.

He looked ahead and said in a cold voice, "Didn't you say that I'm God? If the sky collapses, I'll be the first to carry it. What are you afraid of?"

He was right.

However, the reality was often different from what you imagined.

This was what Charlotte thought.

Soon.

Shane brought Charlotte to the poolside. He bought VIP tickets, so it was a private hot spring pool.

The two could see what the other small and large pools looked like next to the pool. If they wanted to spy on someone, it would be the best place to do so.

Charlotte's arm was injured, so she could only lie beside the pool. She couldn't soak her body in water.

But it was so much easier for Shane. He dipped his entire body into the pool, revealing only his head.

At first, Charlotte was still looking for Ryland, but later, she just kept staring at Shane. Shane's eyes were closed, small drops of sweat gathered at the corners of his forehead. A stroke of blush splayed across his handsome face.

She wouldn't be able to see Shane like this every day.

"Still staring?" Shane opened his eyes and glanced at herteasingly.

"Why can't I stare if it's good to look at? Besides, you're so handsome. It'd be a pity if I don't take another look at you."

He felt like he had heard that before.
