Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Mr. Handsome!" Sheryl immediately dashed towards him away from Anne's arms. The corners of her mouth curved into a smile and said, "Carry me." "Mr. Handsome?" Shane deliberately pulled a handsface, his arms didn't attempt to move.

Sheryl circled her arms around his legs and asked in confusion, " Mr. Handsome, if I call you daddy, will you protect my mommy?" She scrunched up her face as if worried about being rejected by the man before her. She curled her hands into fists and continued, "My mommy is very popular. If you don't want to protect her, I'll do it myself." Shane smiled tenderly as he wrapped his arms around her. His heart softened in an instant. "I promise you," he replied.

"Daddy-" Her cheeks flushed red and she buried her head in his chest.

Shane straightened his back, his eyes overflowed with tenderness.

Beside them, Anne put a hand on her chin as in deep thought.

She didn't expect Shane to be such a family guy. It would be great if Sheryl was actually his daughter.

It's fine, who knows the result of the paternity test may surprise them.

Anne reassured herself. She looked at Elaine who was ignored and her mood immediately changed for the better. "Mr. Fuller..." Elaine gently called him. Her face almost froze from being given the cold-shoulder.

"Speak." Shane spat a single word coldly. He seemed the complete opposite from the tender person from before.

"Mr. Fuller, my younger sister had suffered enough for what she'd done. Can you please forgive her? Since Lottie also didn't suffer any fatal wounds." Elaine lowered her voice. She dare not address him as her "brother-in-law" anymore. After all, that woman was now Shane's wife.

That was what she despised the most.

Why was it that she tried so hard to reach where she was now, but Charlotte was able to achieve even more? "Daddy, my mommy is in a lot of pain. It's not at all like what this bad woman said." The child who was hiding in Shane's embrace suddenly spoke up solemnly. Anne almost exclaimed in excitement. She was indeed well taught by Anne.

"I see." The coldness on Shane's face instantly dissipated. He stretched out his hand and stroked her long hair.

The corners of Lottie's lips couldn't help but twitch a little. She didn't even realize Sheryl had started to call him "Daddy." 'This man's attitude changed even faster than one changes clothes,' Elaine thought.

She immediately took a step towards Charlotte but was quickly blocked by Anne's shoulder. "Madam Lane, you should just stay where you are," she said with a hint of disgust.

"You..." Elaine swallowed back her words forcefully. She pretended to brush her off her hand with her raised hand. "Lottie, just forgive Yuliana for the sake of family," she pleaded with Charlotte. Charlotte was even more confused as she looked at Elaine's genuine expression.

She was obviously the one who was hurt. Why did she make herself look like a villain? "Why should she be forgiven? If Mr. Gibson hadn't shown up, who knows what other injury Lottie would have suffered! You don't deserve forgiveness." Anne stood in front of Elaine angrily and stared at her caked-up face. She then put her hands around her waist while she put on a menacing posture.

A dark glint flashed through Shane's eyes when he heard the words "Mr. Gibson." His inner voice was shouting to hide this woman away.

"Miss Jane, this matter is betweenand Charlotte. I hope you won't interfere." "Anne is my family." Charlotte looked at Anne as she explained infuriatingly.

Anne had been the most important person in her life.

"You chere to plead for forgiveness but we'd prefer if you were to go home." Charlotte paused for a moment, then continued quickly, "What makes you think I'll forgive her? Not only her, but I'll never forget what you've done!" Sheryl looked at Lottie, whose eyes were filled with hatred. Suddenly, she broke free from his arms and ran towards her mother.

"Mommy, don't be sad.and daddy will always be by your side." She leaned her head against Charlotte's arms. Her actions melted Charlotte's heart in an instant.

"Lottie, let's put aside the grudge between us first. Now that Yuliana is in a coma, what else do you want from her?" A trace of surprise flashed across Charlotte's eyes. She was quite full of energy before...

Elaine smiled slyly but quickly put on a heartwrenching face again. She put her hand on her chest and said, "Lottie, no matter what she did, she had paid the full price. The doctor said she might never wake up. She had suffered enough. Would you only be satisfied if she died?" Anne saw there was a trace of pity in Charlotte's eyes. She immediately stepped forward and said, "Lottie, we don't even know if her words are true..." "She is in this hospital now. You can cwithto see her." Elaine immediately interrupted Anne.

Charlotte glanced at Anne, then slowly got out of bed.

She didn't trust Elaine! But when she saw Yuliana bedridden with tubes all around her body lying on the bed, she was slightly taken aback.

Anne knew Charlotte had always been a kind-hearted person, knew that Charlotte harlotte was a kind-hearted person, so she knew the answer in her heart. "Lottie, see, I didn't lie to you. You..." Elaine looked at the person in the room through the glass window, the corners of her mouth could'nt help but curl up.

"I won't report her to the police. But, if she harms anyone aroundwhen she wakes up, I won't be so merciful again." Charlotte turned around and spoke in a cold tone with her back to Elaine.

"Don't worry, she won't ever wake up." Elaine immediately blurted. She paused slightly when she realised what she had said. "I mean, I will keep an eye on her," she quickly continued.

Charlotte turned away to avoid looking at her obnoxious face. She walked away slowly with Anne by her ald. She was completely oblivious of the sinister events unfolding behind her. "It's settled?" Shane held Sheryl's in one hand while a cartoonish character dessert on the other.

It's not fit his style no matter how she looked at it.

"Yup." Charlotte just nodded weakly. She didn't know if what she did was right or not, but she didn't have it in her heart to punish someone in a coma.

"Lottie, Mr. Fuller, I have to go now." Anne swallowed and said to Charlotte as she felt an overwhelming amount of pressure.

"Didn't you say that you would accompanytoday?" Charlotte looked at the arm that was suddenly let go in confusion.

Anne couldn't help but thought, Td also like to. But I can't stand the m overbearing aur N earing aura of your husband.

It's better to leave first.' Finally, she waved goodbye to Sheryl in Shane's arms and left. As she stood in front of the hospital, she suddenly realized that she felt like an outsider among the family of three.
