Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Until Charlotte left, she did not see Raina and Shane again.

At the gate of the mansion, she heard from Ms Laura, who had chased after her, that Raina was usually not at home. She had her own life outside the family and the mansion was just a place to stay. Which meant that if Charlotte wanted to, she could cover often to accompany Sheryl and Madam Fuller Senior.

After all, the child loved staying with her greatgrandmother.

"I really care about this family and hope that they can live well, which is why I am telling you all of this." Ms. Laura sighed. "It's not good that this hdoes not feel like a hat all." "I know, Ms Laura. Thank you." Charlotte's smile was polite but distant.

"Miss Charlotte, I know you don't trust me, but to me, you are kind with a great personality. Perhaps you will be able to trigger a change in Madam Raina?" "Ms. Laura, I don't have the tto educate someone on their behavior. No matter good or bad, she has nothing to do with me." Ms. Laura smiled bitterly, "That's true. Why would you have to be concerned about Madam Raina when you and the young master are living your best lives? I'm sorry for being rude." Charlotte nodded her head slightly before turning to leave.

She couldn't stop herself from thinking.

Did Ms. Laura mean what she said, or were they Madam Fuller Senior's thoughts? By saying this, Ms. Laura seemed to care about Raina and Madam Fuller Senior, but in fact, she was telling Charlotte not to pay much attention to Raina.

However, Madam Fuller Senior seemed unsatisfied even with Shane's father. How satisfied would she be with Raina, her daughter-in-law? Thus, it might be Ms Laura who couldn't bear to see such a situation further, which made her cross the line to tell Charlotte all these.

Finally, Charlotte decided - it was just a matter which had nothing to do with her.

If Raina didn't like her, why would she step forward and ruin her own mood? She was not a masochist.

After getting in the car, the driver told Charlotte that Shane had been called away to settle things in the company, so he didn't send her off.

She would be lying if she said she didn't care. However, what right did she have to care? The next day.

Charlotte arrived at the company alone.

She was finding a chance to talk to Shane since their relationship was not harmonious, but Cole told her that Shane was in a meeting. Charlotte had no choice but to go back. When Charlotte passed the store room in the pantry, she heard- "How many times do I need to say this? You were the one who wanted a divorce, and the entire matter had nothing to do with me. Even if she's dead, I wasn't the one who killed her. Why do I have to see her?" The woman's constrained voice was laced with sobs, its owner growling into the phone at whoever was on the other side.

This voice...

Charlotte wasn't very sure. She stopped in her tracks, wanting to listen closely.

"Fine, I'll be there. I'll definitely be there. During the funeral, I will definitely be mocking her for being born in such a family of evil." The person scoffed and pushed the door open. Their eyes met.

As expected, it was Zoe.

Charlotte took a piece of tissue paper out from her pocket and said, "Sorry, I just cback from the chairman's office and overheard you by accident. Is everything all right?" "I'm fine. I wanted to see you, actually." Zoe took the tissue and dabbed her slightly red eyes.

"What's the matter?" Zoe was indeed a professional secretary. She had already shoved all her emotions aside and flashed a formal, professional smile. "I'm going hto attend a funeral, so will you be able to replaceon a business trip with Mr Fuller on the 30th?" A business trip... Together with Shane? Charlotte's eyelashes trembled as she nodded.

"Thank you, I'll pass you the information later. I didn't expect you to agree to this kind of hard work without hesitation." "You are in trouble, after all. Being your close friend, I would, of course, agree without hesitation." Charlotte smiled and helped her take back the tissue paper. "Let's not talk about sad things. I'll treat you to cupcakes after work." "I'll put on weight." Zoe frowned.

She didn't like to expose her weak side to others.

"What are you afraid of? You don't have a boyfriend anyway." "You!" Zoe choked on her words.

Charlotte laughed out loud at her successful prank.

"You're so childish." "This is called overcoming sadness with something even sadder. Is there anything worse than Zoe without a boyfriend? No." "I'm going to eat as many cupcakes as I can," Zoe said through gritted teeth.

"No problem. You can eat as much as you like. It's my treat." Even so.

Zoe seemed to be fine, but she was not in a good mood the whole afternoon.

Fortunately, work was not busy today and there were no unexpected incidents.

After work, Charlotte and Zoe went to a dessert shop for cupcakes. Seeing her mood lift, Charlotte was relieved.

She initially offered to send Zoe home, but Zoe refused, saying that she could go hherself.

So she didn't insist further.

The next day.

The application form of Zoe and Charlotte's schedule change was passed through the human resources department, finally reaching Shane. Cole asked, "Mr Fuller, what do you think of this?" Shane remained silent.

"Do I need to go to the secretarial department and ask for someone else to go with you?" "It's fine. Just let her tag along." "Yes, sir." Shane picked up the pen and signed it in a swift motion. Cole immediately retrieved the document and handed it over to the human resources department. After a while, Cole returned.

He stood respectfully in front of Shane and said, "Mr Fuller, everything is done, but you mentioned before that you don't want Ms Emerson to follow us to the construction site, so now..." The project this twas large-scale and dangerous.

This was not a bid, but a trip to confirm a project that had been discussed for three months.

There was no problem with the project itself, but the construction site was a place previously polluted by radiation. By not being careful enough, visitors might develop acute leukaemia. Cole knew that Mr Fuller had always trusted Zoe.

Although the location they were visiting this twas dangerous, it was also very important.

When even Mr Fuller himself was going to risk his life, it was only expected of him to bring his most trusted secretary along.

However, the person going along was suddenly changed to Charlotte.

"What if something happened to Miss Charlotte..." Cole reminded in a low voice.

"Is she that delicate?" "Uh..." Cole touched his nose.

He was worried that Shane found Charlotte delicate! Shane looked at him coldly.

Cole couldn't help but groan inwardly. He finally knew how difficult it was to be a eunuch in ancient times.

"Mr. Fuller, I didn't mean anything else." Shane raised his hand and gestured for him to keep silent, and Cole shut up immediately.

"Go find out why Zoe switched schedules with Charlotte this time."

"I have. The daughter of Ms Watson's father and stepmother passed away, and she, as the eldest sister, needs to go-back hto the countryside for the funeral." "Alright." "Ms. Watson has a very high level of professionally." "Book tickets for Charlotte, buy her an insurance and fill in her daughter's nas the beneficiary." "Yes, sir." Cole left the office.

Shane kept tapping the table with a finger.

His brows knit together in worry.

His fingers didn't stop moving until his phone vibrated. He tilted his head to the side and saw the wordÖAllen" shown on the screen of the phone. He turned his phone to silent mode and left it to vibrate. It was very quiet in the office, with only the constant vibration of Shane's phone. After a long time, the vibration cto an end.

Shane stood up and moved towards the bed.

His thin lips moved, silently reciting a name.

The 30th arrived in the blink of an eye.

Charlotte arrived at the airport, holding on to the ticket Cole gave her.

When she arrived, Shane, who had set off from the mansion, was already in the VIP room.

To her surprise, Christopher was also present.

Zoe did not tell her about it, so she was not ready at all.

"Mr Gibson, I didn't expect you to be here as well. I only bought two sets of breakfast..." Charlotte said, embarrassed.

Shane asked her to bring breakfast for him when she cover, and he didn't mention Christopher.

It was so embarrassing.

"It's fine. I have eaten before coming.

I told Shane not to bother you. By the way, didn't Zoe show you the m previous information on this case? I was the one following this case all this time, so of course, I would be here." Christopher smiled gently. Charlotte glanced at Shane. No one told her that Christopher was the person in charge of this project.

However, the man's expression was cold. He leafed through his documents carefully, not even bothering to look at her.
