Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Rick was silent for a long time before he said slowly, "That's another matter."

"When it comes to Charlotte, it's another matter. Double standards, I tell you." Avery shook his head.

"Let's not talk about this. What did you come to see me about?"

"It's like this, I wanted to ask if you want to have dinner together. I found a good Japanese restaurant. Since you're picking up Kendall, we can go together. I haven't seen her for a long time," Avery said while glancing at his watch. "Anne and Braden should be having jet lag. You leave them be."

"That's fine."

After he finished the call with Avery, Rick went to the Stevens' residence. When they heard that Kendall was going to move to Rick's house, Caleb and Ryland were very happy and kept teasing Kendall. Rick turned a deaf ear to this, pretending that he did not hear anything at all. It was not until Kendall came out with her luggage that he made a token effort to talk to them both before taking Kendall away. He put her luggage in the trunk. "Get in the car."

Kendall shook her head. After Rick finished with her luggage, Kendall suddenly went to hug and kiss him.

Rick instinctively turned his head to avoid the kiss. Kendall's eyes widened as she looked at him with hurt in her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Don't you have any shame?" Rick shut the trunk door, grabbed her hand, and got her into the car.

Before Kendall could sit properly, Rick pulled her onto his lap. He held her head and kissed her lips. He deepened the kiss steadily. Kendall felt her whole body weaken, and she relaxed into Rick's embrace. Avery, who was sitting in the passenger seat, snapped his fingers and said, "Please, can you restrain yourselves a little?"

Kendall screamed. She immediately pushed Rick away and buried her face in her hands.

"Now you feel ashamed?" Rick found her very funny. He took her hands away and hugged her harder. "Come on, relax."

Kendall indeed relaxed obediently into his embrace.

Avery teased and said, "Rick, Kendall is so good to you. She listens to you. If a woman treats me this way, I would definitely forget about Irena."

"Don't joke. Your love for Irena is deeper than my love for money." Rick laughed.

"Wow, I didn't think you loved money."

"Who doesn't love money?"
