Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Charlotte suspected there was something wrong with her ears. Her movements slackened as she removed her coat. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Who turned himself in?" "Christopher," Avery repeated. "He went to the police station and turned himself in. Yesterday when I saw Raina, I wanted to pin everything on him to save Shane. I didn't expect that he would make the first move and turn himself in. I really don't understand. What is his motive?"

"I happen to have time tomorrow."

"Well, let's go and visit him together?"

"Where is Shane?"

"I told him the news, but he gave me no reaction. When this matter is over, you can come over to see him. Otherwise, I am afraid that something will go wrong if this continues."

"Got it." Seeing Shane so disinterested in this new development, Charlotte started to have qualms about seeing him.

Despite not knowing much about the past Shane, she was familiar with him. However, that version of Shane whom she was familiar with would never gather all the Fuller family members and set them on fire. She was afraid to see a cruel Shane who was completely different from the one in her memories.

Avery said, "He is quite strange recently. He either eats and sleeps or swipes on his phone - a complete couch potato. But he has been working so hard for many years. It's natural for him to take a long vacation. So don't be horrified, no one else in this world can pull Shane out of this state except you."

"He's not my shit, why should I drag him out?" Charlotte seethed. She even laughed coldly and said, "No matter what, I don't want to see him for the time being. Let's settle the matter with Christopher first. Also, I've been very busy recently."

"Okay, I got it."

Avery and Charlotte continued discussing business matters. They didn't hang up until they ran out of topics. The critter next to Avery couldn't wait any longer. She reached out to tug at his clothes and asked, "Uncle Avery, what did my mommy say? When will she and Daddy come to see me?"

"Your mommy..." Avery sighed, lifted her up, and positioned her on top of his shoulders. "They may not be able to come in the meantime. Don't you have fun with Olive and Freddie? There's no need to see Mommy. Think about it, now that your Daddy is ill and I have to take care of him, and Uncle Rick is no longer here, everything falls on your Mommy's shoulders. She is very busy. Didn't she always come to accompany you when she was free?"
