Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"How is she?" Rick poured coffee and milk into a cup. "Do you want any sugar?"

"She's fine, and no sugar." Shane sat beside Avery and accepted the cup of coffee from Rick. He took a sip and closed his eyes. He looked very tired.

Avery handed him an untouched sandwich and said, "You must be tired today. Rest early tonight. Rick and I will leave after a while."

Shane opened his eyes and nodded. "Sorry to trouble you today."

"We are brothers, there's no need to be ceremonious. As for you, talk to Charlotte after she wakes up. The lines between self-interest and feelings are blurred for both of you. If something really happens, the procedures will be too troublesome."

"Yes." He nodded.

Rick prepared two more sandwiches and passed them to Avery and Shane. He washed his hands, rolled down his sleeves, and placed his hands on the table. "You're not going to tell us why Charlotte ran away from you?"

"Heidi."

"She is still lingering between both of you." Avery frowned.

Shane looked at him coldly, but Avery was unfazed. "What's the point of glaring at me? Mr. Fuller, I respect you, but in this matter, we have different opinions on how to proceed. I could either stay faithful to Irena until I die, or fall in love with someone I met. But it's unfair to let the past affect your future."

Rick nodded in agreement. He thought so, too.

"It's different."

"How is it different?"

"I don't love Heidi."

Avery found it even more hilarious. "So love Charlotte, then. Why are you doing this for someone you don't even love? Oh, I got it."

Avery just realized what the issue was. Shane didn't love Heidi at all, and because of that, his guilt compounded.

She died because of him. Not only did he not have feelings for her, but he could not even make amends to her. Not to mention that Heidi's only sister went mad because of Shane.

In any case, Shane couldn't get over Heidi.

"What should we do?" Avery felt powerless. He thought this matter could be resolved by explaining his side. However, he wasn't aware that Shane did not like Heidi.

"I always thought only a meticulous person like me would care about these details," Rick said with a smile.

Shane remained silent.
