Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Christopher nearly choked on his own spit.

He spat hard and asked, "What made you think that I would cooperate with you last time?"

The cooperation between the two began with Tiffany. At the time, Shane had been hypnotised, but quickly, he learned to combat it and took up the skill himself. He had used his new-learned hypnosis skills on Christopher. However, he did not force Christopher to listen to his orders. Instead, he had made Christopher tell him everything the Fuller family had done. Shane had told him about his own unhappy childhood in return.

If there hadn't been a spy, it would be impossible for Christopher to escape, let alone not get caught until now.

No one would suspect that Shane, who appeared to be planning Christopher's demise, was the spy. As such, while the cooperation between the two was surprising, it was less dangerous. "You either cooperate with me or die."

"I just didn't think that you would be so miserable. The pet rabbit you gave Augustus was even eaten by him! Your father's a b*stard for letting such a thing happen."

In front of Shane, Christopher didn't need to pretend to be gentle. He didn't need to be elegant or easy-going. He could act like himself in front of Shane. After all, the man was his brother.

Shane helped him put a bandage on his cut and said, "He's not just my father, he's ours."

"No, he's not! I refuse to have a monster like him as my father." Christopher pursed his lips.

Shane put the rest of the bandages back into the medical kit, got up, and kicked away the beer bottles. "You've been injured, it's best if you stop drinking for a few days. If not, your wound might not close up. It'll hurt much more if you don't let it heal properly."

Christopher scoffed. "Wouldn't you be glad if I died? You were planning to kill me anyway."

"I wasn't planning to use Augustus's plan on you."

"Then who are you planning it for? Do you have other enemies?" Christopher was curious.

"You'll get to read all about it in the papers soon enough."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Tell Avery and Charlotte that I've invited you out for dinner. Have them stay with you the entire time, that's all I ask."

"And when will that be?" 'TH tell you later."

Christopher took a deep breath and leaned back into his chair. "Well, I'll look forward to reading the news later. I wonder who it could be..."

After that, Shane picked up his suit and said, "I'm going to head out first."

"Bye."

He was gone just like that.

Christopher looked outside the window.
