Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"I..." Charlotte was speechless for a moment.

Over the past few years, she had been avoiding him. Of course, work was one of the reasons but most of the time it was because she didn't know how to get along with him. They both avoided flirting with each other. Most of the time, they talked about business and she would check in with him on what was happening in the entertainment circle. Even if they were free, they never went on dates.

So she was sorry to him. She clearly said that she would give him the best life. She also said that even if she took over everything, she would not ignore him. But in the end, she let him get hurt. In the past, it was so difficult for people to meet him, let alone hurt him. Now...

She failed to protect him, so she apologised.

"There's no need to be sorry."

"Sorry." She apologized again.

"You haven't fulfilled your promise of one month."

"What one month?"

"Dating."

It was only then Charlotte remembered there was such a promise but now...

Charlotte felt a little awkward as she said, "I'm really too busy right now. If I take some time off to be with you, I won't be able to do anything else."

"In the past, I also took time off to be with you."

"Alright..." Charlotte couldn't turn down these words.

That's right.

In the past, Shane was much busier than her. After all, she took over everything from him. Besides, he had to build the company on his own before. It was much more difficult compared to her work. However, where should they go on a date?"

Sheryl noticed her parents seemed to have become much closer recently. They often went out together. Sometimes they would take her and Freddie out too. Although she really liked going out, she was even more curious about the sudden change in their relationship.

However, it was quite sad that Shane's left hand was impaired. He could no longer carry Sheryl on his back like he used to.

On this day.

Sheryl and Freddie were doing their homework at home. Suddenly, the door burst open. Olive ran in and sat down beside Sheryl. "I'm so angry."

"What's wrong?" Sheryl reached out and touched her hair.

"The new school I'm at is way out of line."

Freddie looked up and shot her a disdained look. "Why blame the school for your own incompetence?"

"You'd better shut your mouth and wash it with soap." Olive rolled her eyes in annoyance.

"Alright, can you stop arguing the moment you see each other?" Sheryl asked helplessly. "Olive, ignore Freddie. Tell me what happened."
