Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Change what? Change to love me? Change to like me? Or force yourself to do something that you don't like? Rick, don't make things difficult for yourself, and don't make things difficult for me too." "Okay, then I won't change, and I won't love you either. When it's over, I'll let you go."

Kendall really couldn't understand. Rick had always been a clear-headed person. How could he be so lost when it came to love? She smiled bitterly and said, "Rick, I don't care who locked me up, whether it was Avery, Anne, Braden, or even Shane and Charlotte. Even if they send me to jail, I'm okay with that. But you know what? It can't be you."

"Kendall." Rick's expression turned cold. "I did make a mistake that night. I thought I didn't hurt you. But the truth is, everything I did to you was hurting you. I admit it, and I'm willing to pay the price for it. But can you give me another chance?"

"Having been with you for so long, if what I gave you were not chances, then what were they?" Kendall blinked. Her eyelashes, which looked like butterfly wings, were damp with a thin layer of tears. "Rick, don't you know how much I like you?"

Rick was silent. When he was about to say something, he saw a wound on her ankle. He leaned over, held her ankle, and lifted it to eye level. "What happened to your ankle? When did you hurt yourself?" "Way back," she said, wanting to pull back her foot.

"Don't move. It seems like the wound is not completely healed. Did you scratch it?"

Kendall did not speak and only pursed her lips.

Rick looked at her and shook his head with a sad smile. "You probably got injured when you left me or before you left me. To remind yourself how much you hate me and how big of a jerk I am. That's why you keep scratching your wound, right?"

"Why are you still asking when you already know?" She turned her head away stubbornly. Her eyes were red and swollen. "Let me go."

"I'm sorry." Rick wrapped gauze around her wound after he sterilized it. "I've never expected things to turn out this way."

Rick finished his sentence with a hoarse voice. He then put her leg down and got up, his face pale. Because he had been squatting for too long, he felt dizzy and staggered a little. "Kendall, rest well in here. Don't go out for the time being. I won't come here, and I respect your decision. I will explain it to you after this."

Kendall pursed her lips.

"Charlotte and Shane will be here soon. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask them."

Rick left the room in a hurry.

If Zayden's appearance was a heavy blow on him, then the wound on her ankle was a shame to him. He had never expected that one day he would force a woman who loved him deeply to harm herself and remember how much of a bastard he was. He had always thought that he could retain a perfect relationship with everyone. Even with Charlotte, he hadn't argued with her to the point where they wouldn't talk to each other.

But when it came to Kendall, he could still choose to hurt her again when she had risked everything for him.

He shouldn't have.
