Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Shane..." Charlotte was dumbfounded.

"Come and pick us up." Shane could guess her expression by just hearing her voice. His lips couldn't help but curl up. There was even a hint of gentleness behind his cold eyes.

Peter picked up the teacup and took a sip. He glanced at Shane from the corner of his eyes. It was obvious Mr. Fuller was deeply in love. He had been with Mr. Fuller for quite some time, it was his first time seeing him like this.

He had been used to his cold demeanour. He was really curious to see this side of him.

He wondered if Mr. Fuller would act so lovey-dovey every day if he really dated Ms. Emerson. It would be a real shocking sight.

Peter couldn't help but gossip.

"Oh, alright. I'll send someone over right now." Charlotte immediately answered. "But the road here is very steep. Are you sure you want to come? Or we can meet at the city later since I'll be staying for a few more days."

"You don't want to see me now?" Shane asked.

"I..." Charlotte suddenly choked on her words.

She wanted to see him, she even dreamed of him.

She was far away from home and it was the first time she had to transport such large cargo. Although she looked calm on the surface, she actually felt very nervous. What if an accident happened? What if one of the workers were injured?

Although these problems didn't occur, they kept haunting her mind.

She would feel much better if Shane was by her side. At least she wouldn't need to worry about all these 'what if's. She knows nothing could compare to having Shane by her side.

"It seems that you didn't miss home at all."

"Not at all. Aren't I home now?" Charlotte smiled ruefully. "I'll go pick you up right now."

"There's no need."

Doot, doot, doot-

Charlotte stared at the blank speechlessly. Shane's last words were so short and cold with a slight arrogance in his tone.

She always had a hard time facing Shane. It was even worse now that he was so full of himself...

Charlotte thought for a while. Finally, she got up and walked towards Zoe. "Zoe." "Hmm?" Zoe, who was petting a panda, turned around. "Do you want to pet it?" "No, I wanted to ask if it was okay for you to follow up here alone?"

"I'm fine with it. What's the matter?"

"Peter Brown is coming."
