Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 218

Avery took Yuliana to meet Charlotte and told her everything that happened.

Charlotte remained expressionless. She pretended that this never happened and said blandly, "Take care of her as best you can. Don't let Elaine find her. She's so wicked for even thinking of killing her own sister."

"Charlotte, you don't blame me at all? If it weren't for me, you and Shane wouldn't have turned out like..."

"I'm very happy now." Charlotte interrupted her and continued, "Happiness is something you have to fight for on your own. Taking away another person's experience and necklace is useless. You should know this better than anyone else."

Yuliana was stunned when she heard that.

Charlotte was right. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She knew better than anyone else.

If it weren't because she believed in Elaine, why would she be stuck in a vegetative state for such a long time? Why would she remain a living death for so long?

Lying static on her bed from day to night, she almost tore her skin during the first few days after she woke up.

She hated Elaine, but she hated herself even more at that time!

"If you need me to confront Elaine, I am willing to bring this matter to the court!" Yuliana gnashed her teeth and said.

"This is our personal business. I don't want other people to get involved in this. But if I had the opportunity to send her to jail, you can lend me a hand."

"Charlotte, I can't be friends with you, but I respect you from the bottom of my heart. I'm uncultured and a fool. I don't have anything of value to give you, but I have this..."

Yuliana took out a necklace.'Tve always brought this with me. It's finally back to its owner now."

Mom's necklace.

The moment Charlotte reached out to touch it, she felt all the blood in her body boiling. She had been looking for this necklace all along.

"Thank you. Even though you said that you couldn't be friends with me, I think that we can just let bygones be bygones."

Yuliana was indeed uncultured. She burned so many brain cells and yet still couldn't understand what Charlotte really meant. She simply thought that Charlotte was thanking her, so she kept waving her hand in an excessive manner.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Avery smiled and said, "Since both of you have reconciled, do I get a reward for being the mediator?"

"Your reward is to take Yuliana to dinner. You can eat anything you like, even if it's at a five-star hotel. I'll pay for it," Charlotte answered.

"Hahahaha, that's fine too. I know you don't like to eat with me."

"So you know?" The two of them became very close to each other now, so Charlotte couldn't care less to show respect to him.

Avery shook his head helplessly. "Yuliana, let me take you to dinner. Let's talk about Irena while we're at it."

"Okay, Mr. Hart."

The two of them left.

Charlotte sat back on the chair in front of her desk, but she couldn't calm down no matter how.

In Yuliana's case, even though Shane did save her once, he didn't love her. He only gave her some money.

So he didn't really care about saving her or not, did he?

He wouldn't care about me giving birth to his child,

would he?

Charlotte's mood suddenly turned sour. She bit her lips and swore silently in her heart that she could never let Shane know that Sheryl was his child.

She didn't want to be treated by him like that anymore. She was even looked down upon by him with all his heart.

After Avery said goodbye to Yuliana, he invited Shane to join him at the bar.

This time, it wasn't Shane who asked him out, but him who asked Shane out.

Shane immediately declined him, saying that he had an important meeting to attend that night. But Avery was adamant about meeting him.

"I have something more important to tell you. I don't mind waiting for you even if it's until late at night. Please make time for me."

Avery rarely spoke to others in such a serious tone.

Shane didn't refuse this time. He merely replied, "11:40." And Avery instantly sent him the address.

Eleven o'clock.

This should be the busiest hour at the bar.

However, the bar that Avery was sitting in was nearly empty. He sat by the window and watched the rain outside as the voice of the folk singer traveled to his ears. He gently closed his eyes and enjoyed the music.

Creak-

Cole, who was holding an umbrella, pushed open the door.

Shane stepped into the bar.

Avery looked up and met his eyes.

"Mr. Fuller." Avery stood up and bowed respectfully. "I apologize once again."

"That is unnecessary." Shane helped him up. Then, he sat down, took off his coat, and set it aside. "A glass of Singapore Sling."

"You're my special guest. I'll give you two glasses."

The bartender swiftly finished tending two glasses of cocktail.

Cole took the glasses of alcohol over and tasted them with two separate spoons. After making sure that they were not poisonous, he placed the glasses in front of them.

Avery just smiled without showing any signs that he felt violated.

"What can I do for you this time?" Shane picked up the glass and sipped the cocktail. He beamed with delight and said, "This cocktail is not bad."

"The bartenders here are all first-class. You can drink as much as you like when you come here in the future."

"So..."

"It's because of Charlotte. So, this is what happened." Avery started explaining.

The more Shane listened, the more somber his face became.

In the end, he finished an entire glass of cocktail. He let his hand fall, making a loud slamming sound as the bottom of the glass hit the table.

Avery swallowed hard and tried to get his emotions under control by flashing him a big grin. "That's basically it. So, Sheryl is definitely your child. Yuliana even returned the necklace to Charlotte."

"I know that she's my child."

"In that case, why don't you hurry up and... Wait, what did you say? You knew?"

Avery's expression changed from disappointment to shock. After that, he propped himself up on the table and looked at Shane as if he was looking at a monster.

Shane had no expression on his face.

"I knew."

He repeated the two words blankly.

"How did you know?" Avery screamed in surprise.

"It's me." Cole immediately took the initiative to tell the entire story. "That is probably the case. I didn't mean to see it on purpose. I can only say that everything was too coincidental. After that, Mr. Fuller has always wanted to come clear with Miss Charlotte. He wanted to keep her by his side without exposing the truth. But everything played out differently, making her straying further and further away from him. It wasn't that Mr. Fuller didn't want to, it was..."

"Cole." Shane interrupted calmly.

Cole immediately shut his mouth. He knew that he shouldn't say that much.

However, he also didn't want Mr. Fuller to keep his thoughts all to himself.

"I can understand. Women are just so mystical." Avery smiled and said, "I just want to ask if you need any help, Mr. Fuller?"

"What's that?"

"Don't get me wrong. Theoretically, I should be helping Rick but I heard that his childhood lady friend has been hanging out with him a lot recently. She's very cute and gracious, has a positive and cheerful personality, and also has an elegant appearance."

If an elegant woman failed to make a man fall in love with her, then a lovely, affectionate, and elegant woman would definitely make a man fall head over heels in love with her.

She was the girl you could never forget and also the girl who was out of reach.

Shane subconsciously picked up the glass, only to realize that his glass was empty when his lips touched the rim of the glass.

He put down his glass.

"What's her opinion on that?" he asked.

"It was Charlotte who took the girl to see Rick. It was also Charlotte who allowed the girl to stay beside Rick and take care of him. The girl felt sorry for that, so she intervened with the partnership. You should have known."

Shane nodded and recalled her face. "Kendall."

"Yes. So, I think that not only does Charlotte not love Rick, she is also more than willing to see him fall in love with someone else. Otherwise, she wouldn't just ignore such an obvious rival. However, I think that things won't make sense at the office. Once Rick and Kendall are together, what will happen even if she manages the company in perfect order?"

"Rick is a gentleman." "He is definitely a gentleman, but not everyone is."

There was a deeper meaning in Shane's eyes when he looked at Avery.

Avery smiled charismatically with his eyes. "Mr. Fuller, my beauty is just a strategy to confuse the enemy."
