Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Shane didn't answer Rick's question. Instead, he turned around at the corner of the corridor. Then bent over and grabbed Charlotte's wrist, who thought she was hiding very well.

She was dragged forward by him and couldn't help but ask, "Shane, how do you know I'm here?" He walked straight toward her without any hesitation.

Shane didn't want to answer her dumb question.

He led her outside. When they reached their car, he finally parted his lips and said, "Do you have a conclusion regarding what you've seen today?" "Yes," Charlotte replied. "Kendall has a great relationship with Ryland and Caleb. However, I feel like the relationship between her and Caleb is very superficial. Caleb seems to dislike her and Rick." "You're partly correct. The one that Caleb hates is not Kendall, but Rick." Shane opened the car door and said, "Continue." Charlotte got into the car with him as she described the three things she noticed about the three members of the Stevens Family.

Firstly, Rick was able to touch Kendall affectionately in public, meaning that Ryland and Caleb had approved him. However, Caleb didn't seem to like him very much. That was enough to prove that the Stevens Family were dominant between their cooperation, while Rick was just a tool they used to make connections with Jane Corporation.

Secondly, all the information showed that the Stevens Family was not as competent as the Jane family. When Caleb wanted to marry Anne, he was directly rejected by the Jane Family. However, judging from the interaction between the three members of the Stevens Family and Rick, the weak one was obviously Rick.

Thirdly, Rick had always been gentle and polite, but it didn't mean that he didn't have a temper. When he recognized her and Shane, Rick only followed Shane out of the hot spring pool and didn't expose the two of them in public. This was actually not in line with his character.

"Based on these three points, I think that it's abnormal for Rick to ingratiate himself with the Stevens Family. It's abnormal for him not to confront us too. Unless..." "He has other intentions." Shane hit the brake and stopped right in front of the red light.

Charlotte nodded seriously. "I suspect that the Stevens Family is trying to do something to Jane Corporation by manipulating Rick. But their plan has been seen through by Rick. He wants to use himself as bait and confront the Stevens Family instead of being swallowed by the Stevens Family." "Not bad." Shane nodded.

"But he doesn't seem to have any intention of teaming up with us either. He probably thinks that it's already enough for him to get help from us," Charlotte continued.

This behavior still didn't conform to Rick's personality.

Logically speaking, he should have found someone to cooperate with during times like this.

The red light turned green. Shane stepped on the accelerator and controlled the steering wheel in a relaxed manner.

His eyes landed on a spot on the road. It was clearly an asphalt road with white lines. But in his eyes, it was another person's face.

"Rick is in a very dangerous situation now. That's why he's not cooperating with us." "What?" Charlotte blinked her eyes in confusion.

"Or rather, he thinks he's in danger." "I don't quite understand." "Firstly, he won't burden you. Secondly, he thinks that I've already lost NC and don't have an assistant anymore. Therefore, cooperating with us seems very risky." It finally dawned on Charlotte at that moment.

In fact, even if it wasn't Rick but her and Shane, they would have to open each other's account books and calculate the numbers in detail. Or else, no one would know their bottom line either. No, Shane might know hers, but she would never know Shane's.

Thinking about it, Charlotte sighed. "Then, should we help him or not?" "There's no need and reason for us to cooperate with him. But there's one person who does." Charlotte's eyes lit up.

Indeed.

It was someone who had no need and reason for her and Shane to cooperate with as well.

"I'll talk to him later. But can you dropoff at Zoe's neighborhood? Before handling the Stevens Family's issue, I still have something very important to do," Charlotte said.

"That's fine too." Shane had heard about Zoe's story.

He didn't care whether Charlotte's decision was correct or not. He only knew that the recent flu was extremely serious.

Moreover, Peter and Zoe were the indispensable forces of the company's intelligence sector.

Whether it was a public or private affair, there was no major flaw in Charlotte's management. Avery's home.

Zoe nestled on the sofa, working on her tablet. An endless stream of messages was overflowing her email. She always had to deal with issues one after another.

When she was done with her work, she got up and took out a box of ice cream from the fridge. She was planning to regulate her blood sugar level when she received a message from Charlotte.

"Is it about work again?" Zoe opened the message helplessly.

After reading the first two lines, she was completely stunned.

Peter heard her complaining but didn't see her move. So he walked closer to her to remind her, "Your ice cream is melting." "Peter, Lottie has helpedsettle the problem with the house, and Mr. Fuller promised her that he would helprenovate the house and that he would pay for everything." Zoe handed the phone to Peter. Her eyes were slightly red.

She knew that both Charlotte and Shane were quite busy, so she didn't expect things to be settled in such a short time.

However, she couldn't believe that Charlotte had really settled the matter just a few days after it cup. Peter didn't expect it to be so fast either. He took Zoe's phone and muttered, "How can it be? Before this, Ms. Emerson even askedto investigate the winders from the extortion case. She said they still need to plan everything in detail. It's estimated that everything will only be completed by next month. But it has only been ten days since this month started..." Peter was right.

At first, Charlotte just wanted to go and have a look at the neighborhood. She wanted to know how Zoe's parents were doing. Who knew that Shane would directly help her to solve the problem? From recording auand collecting evidence to paying money, the process was shockingly fast.

"Maybe it's because Mr. Fuller was beside her." Zoe was able to guess the truth shortly afterward.

"Well, that's true." Peter smiled and returned the phone to her. "What about you? When do you plan to move back? Alas, I'm so pitiful. I have to eat instant noodles alone again." "Although I really want to go back, it's hard to say. First off, Lottie and Mr. Fuller said that they would helprenovate my house. With their personalities, it's useless forto refuse. What's more, the flu has been going on like crazy these days. Lottie mentioned in her texts that she doesn't really wantto go back to the office." Zoe sighed.

She really missed living alone.

She only had to make one serving per meal. And if she wanted to, she could just be naked at home. But now, she had to be very careful around the house.

Peter's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Flu season generally lasts around 2 to 4 months, and the m renovation would also need at least a month. That is to say, we can stay together for at least one more month." "Unfortunately, it's just like how you described." Zoe shrugged her shoulders. "I'm very happy about that." "Although I'm not really that happy, living here has actually increased my productivity." Zoe, who didn't need to deal with family disputes, beccalmer and calmer. Just like in the past, she was still the goddess in his heart.

Peter approached her and handed her the ice cream. "Perhaps you'll feel happy being within the future. You won't be used to it without me." "I'm sorry. I can always get used to it if I lose someone."

"That's very cold-blooded of you." Peter directly leaned on her shoulder and said, "You keep saying that I'm your younger brother. But are you acting like the elder sister yourself?" "Have you ever regardedas your elder sister? Have you ever even treatedlike your elder sister?" She felt helpless.

"When have I not?!" "All you do is either orderto do something for you or hit me. Aren't you ashamed to callyour elder sister?" "I've never hit you! I only gave you a few pats." "You have the face to tellthat?"

The two of them bickered endlessly. Fortunately, Zoe was eating ice cream, so it was actually just Peter wha was leading the conversation. It didn't take long before it stopped.

Peter slowly slid down and lay directly on her thigh. He leaned slightly closer and pressed his head against her belly.

In shock, Zoe reached out and pushed him away.
