Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"It's fine, I've already deleted all of them for you. Don't worry, Shane won't see it." Avery reassured me.

"That's great." Charlotte took back her phone and heaved a sigh of relief.

"I have two new cakes here. Would you like to try some? It's a sweet and sour strawberry cake with a hint of lemon zest that you like."

"What a sophisticated flavor!" Charlotte's eyes widened as soon as she heard that. "I'll go take a look in the kitchen. You don't have to follow me. Every time you're with me, I feel embarrassed and I lose my appetite."

"Well, I won't follow you this time." Avery pointed at a door in the distance and said, "The kitchen was moved to the other side. You can go by yourself. I'll be here, so come find me when you're done. We need to talk about Cassius. I guess we won't be resting much today. Do you wanna head back?"

"I'm fine." Charlotte said, "I'm prepared to work overtime."

Avery smiled and watched her leave. The moment she disappeared, the smile on his face vanished.

His gaze was fixed on a green leaf outside the window, lips pressed together, and fists tightly clenched.

The email did not contain smut like he had claimed. The link led to a provoking article written in a foreign language. It detailed the death of Mrs. Fuller Senior and how Shane swept the news under the carpet. He couldn't protect Charlotte and her daughter, seeing that he failed to keep Mrs. Fuller Senior from harm. There was also a picture of her body attached.

Who could do such a thing? Only Christopher.

Avery rubbed his temples. He definitely couldn't tell Shane about this matter. On one hand, it was Charlotte who showed him that email. If Shane, that possessive fella, found out about it, Avery might lose his life.

If he couldn't tell Shane, he was left with Rick.

Avery thought, 'He would have to tell Rick about Cassius. It's better for Cassius to garner more support.'

Rick finished up a meeting and went back to his office. He slumped tiredly on the chair and rubbed his temples. He was working like a whirlwind for nearly three hours. When he was about to take a rest, he received a call from Avery.

He sighed. "Avery, what can I do for you?"

"It sounds like you're tired."

"Yeah, two days ago I went to Derek's house and found that his relationship with his woman deteriorated, so I wanted to help him. As a result, I didn't have time to deal with my own affairs. I have a pile of matters to oversee in the office." Rick reached for the half-smoked cigarette left on the ashtray in front of him and lit it up again.
