Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Rick had originally wanted to be a little cruel and not explain himself to her, but he suddenly thought of how Charlotte was today.

She was so confident and so efficient. It was probably because she had Shane by her side. Although he gave her a lot of things, they were pointless. When she was with him, she could become all that she wanted to be.

They were both people, so he couldn't treat Charlotte and Kendall so differently.

"Kendall, if I don't like you, there is no need for me to sleep with you. If I like you, then I should sleep with you even less. So the result is already determined. As for whether you think I like you or not, it doesn't matter to me. You are just adding to your own sadness and sorrow, do you understand?" Rick said to her very seriously with a dark expression.

Kendall lowered her head. Her eyes were red. "I just wanted to hear you clear things up."

"A murderer won't tell you that he wants to kill you, and you won't ask him, either. But why do you keep asking me if I like you?"

"I..." Kendall choked up instantly. There was something wrong with what Rick said, but she couldn't refute it.

"Let me answer for you." Rick put his hands on her shoulders. "Because murderers are strangers to us. We always assume that strangers would deceive us, while people we're familiar with and trust won't lie to us. But how can you guarantee that I'm not lying if I say that I like you?"

Kendall really didn't understand any of this.

She just wanted to hear Rick say that he did not dislike her, and that he was actually interested in her.

Kendall had been arrogant with others, but she couldn't talk logic with Rick. She was afraid that he would think that she was stupid.

"But, I can still tell you the answer." Rick let go of her and walked to the window with his back facing her. "I won't like you so quickly, but I don't hate you either. It's up to you whether you stay or leave." "But Rick, you've kissed me," she said in a low voice.

"If you ask Charlotte, she'll tell you that even when I was engaged to her, I've never even kissed her on the cheek."

"Why not?"

"It's because she was unwilling to be with me, while you and I willingly to be intimate with each

He was willing.

Kendall suddenly realized something. She asked, "You mean that you're still willing to be with me even though you're not deeply in love with me, right? So you do have feelings for me. It's just not as intense as true love."
