Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Charlotte brought Shane back to the bedroom and handed him his clothes. "You should know how to wear them, right?"

"Yes," Shane took it and answered obediently. "Miss, where did you go in the afternoon and evening? I've been waiting for you."

When Shane sincerely said that he had been waiting for her, Charlotte could feel her heart melting. She smiled meekly and held him tight in her arms, gently stroking the back of his head. "I went to find your mother and asked about you. Shane, do you know that Avery is Augustus's younger brother?"

"Is that so? Then, why is Augustus not here with me?" he asked.

"He's..."

"Is Heidi married to him? I think they make a good couple, although they always quarrel when they see each other." Shane laughed. "Ever since I knew Augustus, I thought he would be together with Heidi one day."

No wonder.

Shane always said that he had never liked Heidi before. It turned out that, in his mind, Heidi was the perfect match for Augustus. So, when she was mad at him because of Heidi, was he missing Augustus very much while trying to explain the situation to her? Was he sad and lost but had no one to talk to?

Charlotte's heart ached again. She couldn't imagine how much pain and sorrow Shane had suffered alone.

"Miss?" Shane called her softly.

"That's right. They, the two of them are together, they..." Charlotte stopped speaking and lowered her gaze. She couldn't bear to lie to him.

"It's okay even if they're not together." Shane thought that she was feeling guilty for lying to him about them being together. "They have their own happiness, and I will give them my blessings too."

"Go take a shower and go to sleep. I'll tell you about Augustus and Heidi another day, okay? You must care about them very much."

"Okay, that's a deal."

Then, Shane went to take a shower. Charlotte sat on the bed, her eyes brimmed with tears.

How was she supposed to tell Shane about this?

They were both your childhood best friends. One died for you when you were 18, and the other died in a fire on your 12th birthday.

The three of you were more intelligent than ordinary people in your teens. You all were on top of the world back then. Your lives had just begun. However, your lives, too, might have come to an end when you all were only teens.

They died physically, but you...
