Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 337

At noon, Avery came to meet up with the three of them. After he heard that Kendall was hypnotized, he did not talk to Kendall anymore. He acted as if Kendall did not exist. In any case, he really did not have much to do with Kendall. At most, she was just his 'rival in love'.

Kendall gradually became more clear-headed, but her movements were still slow and lethargic. She did not have the vitality that she used to have.

"I plan to take her to the mall to buy some daily necessities in the afternoon. What do you think?" Rick asked.

"Then I can't join you for sure," Avery said bluntly. "We are going to break up tonight, how can we go shopping together in the afternoon? What's more, with Kendall with you, the Stevens family will definitely be watching you."

Rick nodded in understanding.

"It's not convenient for us to go to the office in the afternoon either," Charlotte said. "I won't disturb your time together. I need to help Anne with the wedding later."

"That's fine."

Rick looked at Kendall beside him. Now she could eat by herself. Rick didn't know if she was doing it on purpose, but it seemed like Kendall was very quiet. You barely noticed her at all. It was as if she was blocking herself off from the world.

Soon after, the meal was finished, Charlotte looked at the messages sent by her company's staff. She found that there was something wrong with the negotiation group. After she said goodbye to Rick and Avery, Charlotte left.

"Then I'm leaving too." Avery looked at Kendall. The words that he wanted to say were on the tip of his tongue. In the end, he swallowed them down.

"Thank you for your hard work," Rick said.

"What hard work have I done? I just came here to see what happened. As for you... you'll be in trouble in the future."

Kendall blinked at Avery and couldn't help but grab Rick's sleeve. She didn't want to trouble Rick.

Rick patted her shoulder as if to comfort her. He turned to Avery. "This is the best thing for now."

"Is this the so-called responsibility of men?" Avery couldn't help but laugh.

"Maybe, I don't know."

Kendall's issue was completely strange to Rick. He didn't know how to face Kendall at all. He just barely learned how to get along with her.

In the afternoon, Kendall felt very tired, so she did not go to the mall with Rick. Instead, she returned home.

That night, Rick left home to attend an event.

Today, he was going to perform his and Avery's massive break-up.

There were many Brine celebrities at the scene of the event.

Charlotte and Shane didn't attend. Instead, they sat in a private room on the second floor and looked through the thin glass to see what was going on downstairs.

As they watched the familiar and unfamiliar people move about, Charlotte felt dizzy. She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. "Why are there so many people?"

"Some of them are here to watch the show."

"Watch the show?"

"I called them here."

Charlotte giggled. "You're really mean."

"Mean?" Shane gave her a sidelong glance. "Please be careful of what you say."

Charlotte thought for a moment then raised her eyebrows. "You are such an *ss. You are wicked and bored. Which do you prefer to hear me say,

Mr. Fuller?"

Shane leaned to one side and pinched her chin. Then he pulled her into his embrace. "It seems that I've spoiled you too much."

"Is that so? Why don't I feel that I've been spoiled by you?" Charlotte raised her chin. She was not afraid of him at all. "I asked to see Sheryl, but you wouldn't even take me. I suspect that you're trying to ruin my relationship with Sheryl."

"It takes a full day to go and see her. What, isn't it nice to spend time with me? You want to spend even more time with me?"

"You and Sheryl are different. Don't you want to see Sheryl?"

"I already have her mother."

Charlotte was stunned for a moment. Then her cheeks started to turn red. She lowered her head and said, "Shane, you're committing a crime."

"What kind of crime?"

"It's theft. You've stolen my heart away."

Although those words were a little cheesy, they were really what she thought. She really felt that what he said just now was too provocative, which made her cheeks burn hot.

Shane smiled and let go of her hand. He leaned calmly against the back of the sofa, crossed his arms and placed them on his abdomen. He looked coldly at the hall on the ground floor and said, "I asked them to come here to stress Rick out. The more people are here, the more realistic his acting will be."

"You're only worried about Rick. Aren't you worried about Avery?" Charlotte asked.

"Avery? He's so pissed off with Rick at all, he won't give Rick a chance."

"I thought he had a good relationship with Rick?"

Charlotte was a little confused.

"You're so naive."

Shane was too lazy to say more, so Charlotte had to follow his logic to think deeper. After half a minute, she had a sudden realization. "I understand. You are talking about Kendall. Because Rick and Kendall are together, it will be difficult for Avery to deal with the Stevens family."

"It's just a facade."

"Then..." Charlotte really didn't understand. What else could cause Avery to hold a grudge against Rick?

"Rick's attitude towards the Stevens family is not clear. He will not side with Avery because of you and me, nor will he side with the Stevens family because of Kendall. What Avery hates is Rick's indecisive nature. He clearly knows that the Stevens family is hostile to him, but he lets the situation become worse and worse."

When she heard this, Charlotte became silent. It was not that she wanted to justify what Rick did. But in the current situation, wasn't it better to stay this way instead of ruining everything with the Stevens family like this?

She asked tentatively, "If it were you, what would you do?"

"I would marry Kendall as soon as possible and take over some of the Stevens family's assets. In one or two years, I can make the Stevens family collapse."

"Isn't that slower?"

"You think we can be fast now?" NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Shane's question made Charlotte unable to answer. She originally thought that dealing with the Stevens family was a very simple task, but after thinking about it carefully, she also dealt with Christopher and Elaine step by step. She started from their transportation to their products. She worked on them for months before ruining them.

It was indeed difficult to decide the outcome of an enterprise overnight.

More and more people gathered in the hall on the first floor.

The clock slowly ticked over to seven o'clock in

the evening.

Rick arrived.

At 7:40 p.m., Avery entered the hall with a male partner. The other man was handsome, almost as handsome as Shane. However, he seemed more other-worldly. He was handsome but unburdened. He seemed to be someone in the entertainment industry.

"That person looks a bit similar to you," Charlotte told Shane.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, he really looks like you. Look at his facial features. You look maybe 70% alike, but the difference in your carriage is too great. He only looks handsome," Charlotte said regretfully.

To her, someone's carriage was a very important thing.

When Shane stood among a crowd, wherever he looked, no one dared to look him in the eye. But the man that Avery brought was different. Although he looked cold and indifferent, there was no killing intent in his eyes. Instead, there was a weakness in his eyes.

This kind of gaze was very easily ignored. It was also because of this that, when Charlotte saw him for the first time, she felt that this man could compare to Shane.

But after she looked for a long time, she felt that he was just so-so. Shane was more handsome.

"Cole, find out more about that man."

"Understood," Cole answered.

It only took a minute for Cole to get Shane and Charlotte the information.

He was a new name in the entertainment industry. His name was Kale Marsh. He was very low-key and was very youthful and sunny. However, it was said that he had a lot of financial support backing him. Charlotte had seen him on TV many times. His acting was only decent. But because of his appearance, he had quite a lot of fans.

"What's the relationship between Kale and Avery?"

Charlotte asked curiously.
