Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Upon hearing this, Madam Fuller Senior let out a cold snort. "Look! This is my grandson."

Although she seemed to reprimand him, her eyes were full of kindness.

Sheryl giggled and ran to Shane's side. She hugged his leg and said, "Daddy is greatgrandma's best grandson and the best daddy!" Shane held the little girl in his arms, and most of the coldness in his expression faded.

"You're daddy's best baby."

"I'm so happy today. Mommy and daddy are both here." Sheryl's face was flushed, making her look extremely cute like a red apple.

Charlotte grabbed Sheryl's hand that was hanging down and felt warmth well up in her heart.

Was this the so-called "three- member family"?

If all of this was true, how great would it be...

Charlotte immediately suppressed her thoughts. She shouldn't have had such unrealistic fantasies.

Even when the meal was ready, Charlotte did not see Raina.

Madam Fuller Senior called for everyone to gather at the table.

Charlotte couldn't help but ask, "Don't we need to wait for Aunt Raina?"

"Raina? She went out and isn't at home today, not at home today. Didn't Shane tell you about it?" Madam Fuller Senior looked meaningfully at Shane. Shane was expressionless as he said calmly, "Let's eat."

"Oh." Charlotte looked down at her plate.

Shane was really...

It was obvious that he didn't tell her on purpose.

Shane took in Charlotte's expressions and put the food she liked onto her plate.

Charlotte looked at him, tilting her head to one side. In his deep eyes, a trace of playfulness was seen.

She chose to avert her gaze and finish the food on the plate.

After the meal.

Sheryl and Madam Fuller Senior were watching cartoons together. Charlotte wanted to watch with them, but she was rejected by the little girl.

She put her hands on her hips and said seriously, "Great-grandma said that when daddy and mommy come back, they should have a good time together. I'll be watching cartoons with great-grandma. You can go out for a stroll in the garden! The garden is so big, so take your time!"

Charlotte:...

She really wanted to ask Madam Fuller Senior what kind of stuff was she teaching Sheryl when they were not around.

She shifted her gaze to the old lady, who had squinted her eyes and was watching cartoons peacefully with great interest...

Charlotte felt that it would be better for her to not disturb Madam Fuller Senior's time with Sheryl. She asked the man beside her, "Do we go out for a walk?"

Shane looked at the old lady whose eyes were almost closed and said, "Grandma, don't teach the girl bad things."

"Sheryl, would great-grandma teach you bad things?"

"Absolutely not!" Sheryl agreed strongly with the lovely old lady.

"Who would you choose to save if your daddy and I were to fall into the water at the same time?" Madam Fuller Senior's cloudy eyes were shining like that of a child's. "I will call mom and ask her to save both of you!"

Charlotte couldn't help but laugh and said coyly, "Grandma, please don't tease us."

Madam Fuller Senior opened her eyes and glanced at her. She waved her hand with a smile and said, "You two should go out for a walk."

"Yes." Charlotte agreed.

It was a little cold outside.

But it wasn't unbearable.

The wind blowing against her was quite comfortable.

Charlotte wrapped herself tightly in her clothes as she walked along the stone path with Shane.

Not long after Shane and Charlotte left the house, the sky darkened and clouds crowded in the sky above them.

"Great-grandma, it's going to rain outside." Sheryl was enjoying the scenery through the window while leaning against the sofa.

"Are your parents not back yet?" Grandma Fuller Senior waved her fan.

"No..." Sheryl pouted.

"What are they doing?" she thought. Even she could tell it was going to rain.

"Sometimes, adults need to get wet in the rain," Madam Fuller Senior said meaningfully.

Huh?

All of a sudden, Sheryl was terrified.

"Am I going to get rained on like those plants when I grow up?"

It sounded a little scary.

Although she enjoyed rainy days, she didn't like the sticky feeling of raindrops falling on her.

After a few minutes, a thunderstorm suddenly broke out.

Light rain came pouring down.

Sheryl became even more worried.

She was absent-minded even when watching cartoons, her mind full of her daddy and mommy.

After a while, someone pressed the doorbell. When Ms Laura opened the door, Sheryl ran over immediately.

Charlotte was wearing Shane's coat, and there were large patches of water stains on both of their hair and clothes.

"Mommy! What happened to you?" Sheryl ran over to hug Charlotte, her big, watery eyes filled with worry.

"Mommy's fine. When we were planning to come back, it suddenly started raining. We wanted to come back when we realised that the weather was getting dark, but..." Charlotte said helplessly, "We lost our way."

"Got lost?" Sheryl thought.

"How did daddy get lost in his own garden?"

Sheryl tilted her head and suddenly released Charlotte to hug Shane. "That's daddy's fault, then. Great-grandma said that daddy had to protect mommy, not to mention that mommy is now in daddy's house. How could you let mommy get lost? Daddy's dumb."

The little girl looked very cute swinging her head around.

Even though he was being criticized by her, Shane was not upset. Instead, he squatted down to explain, "Because of certain reasons, Sheryl should watch anime first, while I'll bring your mother to take a bath." "Well, then you have to be careful. You might catch a cold after getting rained on. Of course, I know daddy is as powerful as a superhero, but sometimes even superheroes can be very fragile."

Shane ruffled her hair, his eyes full of love. "Alright."

Sheryl released the two to let them wash up.

Madam Fuller Senior left the living room and instructed the servants, "Ms Laura, make some brown sugar ginger tea and add some wolfberries."

"Yes, Madam."

Madam Fuller Senior looked at Charlotte and Shane supporting each other and nodded in satisfaction.

One's loss might be a blessing in disguise.

This rain might be able to improve their relationship.

Shane brought Charlotte to the attached bathroom in his room for a bath.

According to Shane, the bathroom in his room had more functions and the lights were warmer.

She didn't ask further

After a while, she realised that all the shower gels and shampoo in the bathroom were male products.

Although they were good products, they made her smell like Shane...

Charlotte rubbed her head with a towel while walking out of the bathroom. She raised her arm and sniffed it. The smell was really indescribable.

When Shane was smelling like this, it felt charming, but when it was on her, why did it feel so weird?

What's that?

Charlotte's attention was drawn to the decor in Shane's room.

It seemed to be a toy piano, which looked quite old.

As if she was bewitched, she walked to the piano and observed it. It was like Pandora's box full of his secrets.

Squeak-

The door opened.

Ms Laura came in holding ginger tea and saw Charlotte standing in front of the piano. She sighed and said, "The young master used to play the piano very well." Charlotte came back to her senses and took over the cup. "Thank you, Ms Laura. Do you know why Shane stopped playing the piano?"

"This..."

"Are you not supposed to say it?"

"No, no one knows why the young master stopped playing the piano. I only know that he was once kidnapped, and he stopped playing the piano ever since he came back..."

"Ms Laura."

A cold voice came from the door.

Ms Laura immediately shut her mouth and left the room in silence, her head hung low.

Charlotte drank the ginger tea, avoiding eye contact with him.

"This has nothing to do with you, you don't need to know about it." His voice was extremely cold, his attitude a little domineering.

Charlotte was stunned and her heart fell in bitterness. "I'm sorry. I've crossed the line. I won't do it again."

She was upset, possibly due to his cold tone.

Their relationship was just...

She shouldn't have cared so much.

Shane noticed that something was wrong with her and said calmly, "Sleep here tonight."

"I want to go back home to rest," she said in a low but stubborn voice.
