Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"What else do you like except for bags?" Rick led Kendall to the sofa and sat them both down.

"Lipsticks, cosmetics. Oh right, I came all the way here without bringing any of those things. Rick, I don't have any money..." Kendall opened her eyes wide and grabbed the corner of his shirt. She looked pitiful and cute, and there was a hint of craftiness in her helplessness.

"If you can guarantee that you will stay with me, I can buy all of that for you."

It sounded like a business deal, but Kendall didn't think that there was anything bad with that. In fact, she felt that it was pretty great. Rick will take care of her like a pet, and she'll just stay obediently by his side. It sounded quite romantic too.

As she thought this, Kendall nodded at Rick and said, "I can guarantee it. If you buy these things for me, I will never leave your side, I will never leave you."

Rick smiled, a bit helpless. "You should know that's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean?" Kendall blinked her big innocent eyes.

At this moment, Rick was in a daze. Just now, he tried to step into Kendall's shoes to try and understand her thoughts. He never thought that Kendall would not understand what he was saying.

It was a mistake that everyone would commit. Everyone believed that, as long as they spoke, the other party was certainly able to understand. It was their own problem if they didn't. This was how many misunderstandings happened.

But he would never do this to anyone. His thoughts were his own. If the other party could not understand it, it must be because he did not use a method of explaining that the other party could understand. As Rick thought about it, he chuckled. "What I mean is, between the Stevens family and me, you choose to let me take care of you."

This was really a very annoying problem. In Kendall's mind, she did not need to rely on anyone to take care of herself. However, when she remembered that she didn't have any special skills, and that cosmetics were expensive, she immediately nodded seriously. "I choose you."

"Why?"

"The Stevens family can't take care of me for a lifetime, but you can," Kendall answered logically.

"Why can't the Stevens family take care of you for

a lifetime?"

she shook her head. "I don't know why I have thought this way. Actually, when I was very young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, I already had this assumptive. I don't think the Stevens family will be there for me forever. My grandparents will
