Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Kendall snapped back to reality and smiled at the man in front of him. "I'm fine, boss."

"If you're not feeling well, just tell me, okay?" The man seemed fierce, but his eyes and the way he moved were very gentle. He caressed her head and said, "About the Stevens Family's issues, I will try my best to help you solve them. Don't worry about it."

"Okay," she replied dutifully.

The man glanced at Rick and got up to leave the ward with the other guy.

The room was dead silent.

Kendall had no intention to explain to Rick, so she pulled the quilt up and turned around, planning to sleep.

"Kendall," Rick called.

"Besides calling my name, what else can you do?" Kendall's attitude toward him was even worse now. Like she didn't want to speak to him and hoped that he could die as soon as possible. "You like Zayden?"

"No, but he likes me."

Rick smiled when he heard her answer. He sat down next to her, looked at her pale face, and whispered, "Come back to me, all right?"

Feeling sad and regretful, he reached out to touch her cheek.

"Rick, you don't like seeing me with somebody else, do you?" Kendall pushed away his hand and said, "But sorry. I know I can be really shameless when I like someone, but I don't like you anymore. I really don't want to see you at all."

"Does it hurt a lot?" He placed his hand on her abdomen.

She pursed her lips, clueless about what to say.

"I see that you've been frowning all this while. I think it's probably because Zayden has been spending time with many women these days, so he may not have the time to take care of you. You..."

"Are you nuts?" She pushed his hand away once more and said, "I don't know what's the relationship between you and Zayden, but I have already broken up with you. And I don't care if Zayden has a lot of women around him. I just want to be with him. Besides, he is very kind to me. You don't have to worry."

Instead, Rick clasped her wrist and responded, "If Zayden really cares about you, he won't let me be alone with you."

"What does he want from me? A wrecked Stevens Family?" Kendall asked with a sneer.
