Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Caleb didn't expect Rick to speak up for him from his own perspective. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "Rick, do you really think so? Or are you just standing on my side and simply trying to find an excuse for me?"

"To be honest, I don't think the truth is that important. Do you really care about what I think? I don't think it's necessary." Rick replied with a smile, "I was only thinking from your perspective. Everyone here knows that I was once engaged with Charlotte. Well, I lost the woman I wanted because I made the wrong decision. Am I not the victim?"

Charlotte didn't like that metaphor. Just as she was about to speak up, Shane grabbed her by her wrist. She subconsciously turned around and saw him leaning lazily on the chair. Then, she immediately understood that Shane was hinting to her that she should believe in Rick and not ruin his plan no matter what.

Charlotte quickly quieted herself. She did not have any intention of speaking anymore. Next, she leaned back on her chair and watched as Rick carried out his plan.

"By using your personal experience as a comparison, you are suggesting that you have regretted doing that. But I don't."

"I think you misunderstood. I used my personal experience as a comparison to show that I don't regret it at all. If I didn't lose Charlotte, how can I date Kendall? It all boils down to being optimistic or pessimistic."

"Are you saying that I'm pessimistic?"

"I can't answer that. Only you will know."

Caleb's anger was springing to life again. When he was about to have a good conversation with Rick about that, the door was suddenly pushed open. Braden, who was late, carried a strong metallic odor of blood on his body. Beside him, Anne was helping him to stand straight. Her body appeared to be smudged with dirt too. The two of them didn't seem to be seriously injured, but they weren't in good conditions either.

Charlotte immediately walked up to the two of them. She held Anne in her arms and helped her to sit on the sofa. "What's wrong?"

"Something happened." Anne gripped Charlotte's hand and said, "When we were on our way here, we encountered a car accident. But that's not the point. The car accident isn't the highlight. It's the fishpeople."

Fishpeople.

At the mention of this disease that had not appeared in ages, Charlotte's jaw dropped. If she remembered correctly, when the Black Death pandemic was raging, many fishpeople had already been cured. Although they couldn't develop vaccines and immunize the masses like how they did for smallpox, it wouldn't go so far as to cause a big issue. So, what was happening now?

Charlotte frowned. She was deep in thoughts, but she couldn't think of anything related to the fishpeople, so she asked Anne again, "Don't panic. Tell me slowly."
