Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Shane chuckled and pressed her deeper into his arms. "Lottie, it's tto payback my interest." "What is Shane talking about?" Charlotte thought.

Before Charlotte could retort, Shane pressed her down. She could tell that he was being serious this time. She could only mumble slast words of resistance. "Even if you want to, we... we should also take a shower first, right? I feel like I'm starting to stink. I've been in the car for the whole day." Shane didn't answer. He picked her up and walked to the bathroom.

That night.

Kendall was a little bored alone in the room. Rick had gone with Avery to ask Olive about the childtrafficking matter. She had nothing to do, so she walked around. When she arrived at the buffet restaurant, she saw a very familiar person. She got goosebumps all over her body.

She immediately found a place to hide. When she saw more and more people wearing black uniforms around her, she took out her phone and sent a message to Rick.

"At this point, we can be sure that the kidnapper is a human trafficker, so it's not surprising that he killed the others." After Rick spoke, he reached out and touched Olive's head. "Don't feel bad. You are also a victim." "But my parents loved me, right? That's why they're givingto you guys?" Olive retorted. But she quickly dismissed her own thoughts. "No, that's not right. If they giveto you, won't they be afraid I'll tell you everything? I don't think that's right." "It's possible that they thought you wouldn't take the initiative to mention any strange things to us once they handed you over. But if they sell you, it's very likely that you'll notice it. After all, you're so smart," Avery said. "Oh," Olive said. She did not think that she was smart at all. It was just that she had been through a lot of difficulties, which was why she always overthought things out of habit.

Rick was about to ask Olive to think about it carefully when the phone's screen lit up. He picked it up and frowned. "You guys talk. I need to take this call." "What's wrong?" Avery asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time. It's not easy to get to talk to you, how can you just leave like this?" "Something happened to Kendall. She saw Christopher. Call Shane." Avery was stunned for a while. Then, he nodded seriously. "Hurry up and find her. I'll call Charlotte now. By the way, when you are on the way, you should call Peter and ask him to send your location to our phones." "Okay. If you don't hear fromin half an hour, call the police." "Alright." Sheryl had seen Christopher before. When she saw the adults being so nervous, she was a little confused. "Uncle Avery, isn't Mr. Gibson Daddy's friend? Why are you so afraid of him? Why are you going to call the police?" "Now they are no longer friends. Sheryl, you still remember that you were kidnapped before, right? That's actually..." Avery began to tell Sheryl the whole story. Sheryl listened and nodded. She began to worry about Rick. If Christopher could kidnap her, they could kidnap Rick and Kendall as well. Sheryl hoped that they would cback safe and sound.

Rick went to find Kendall When he arrived, Christopher and his people had already left, leaving Kendall leaning against the wall. She clutched her phone as she trembled. The moment when she saw him coming, tears started falling. She threw herself into his arms and hugged him hard.

"Alright, alright. Everything is fine. I'm here. You're safe now." Rick softly reassured Kendall, his tone gentle as ever.

"I miss you so much, Rick. I really miss you," Kendall said as she cried. "I was so scared just now. They were walking towards me. I thought I was in danger, but they aren't here for me. I'm so scared." Kendall cried as she spoke, her entire person was leaning against Rick's chest. She had lost the most basic ability to move.

Rick held her in his arms and whispered, "I'm already here. I'm sorry, sweetheart. I won't let you go out alone in the future." Sweetheart.

It was the first the had called her that.

Kendall sniffed and looked at him in disbelief. "Rick, what did you just call me?" "Sweetheart." Rick chuckled. "I called you that in a panic. If you don't like it, I can change it." "I like it. Of course I like it. No matter what you call me, I will like it." Kendall laughed and wiped her tears with the back of her hand. "I like you so much, Rick. I really like you. It's so great that you got here so soon, I..." She went on and on about the sthing.

Rick's heart ached for her and pressed her into his embrace. "I'll take you back to your room, okay? Have a good rest." "I'm hungry..." she said in a low voice. That was why she had cto the buffet restaurant.

"I'll take you out to eat." Rick informed Avery and Peter that Kendall was fine once they got in the car.

Avery breathed a sigh of relief and said to Peter, "What did Shane say about it?" "He asked us to find him. He said he wanted to talk to him in person. I was afraid there might be danger, so I have asked for reinforcements from Brine. I have also contacted the police." "Okay," Avery sneered. "If Christopher does something outrageous this time, we will lock him in prison. He won't cause problems for us again next time." "I have also asked the others to stay in their rooms. It should not be a big problem. I only hope that Rick and Kendall will not see Christopher again." "They went out. I wonder what they're doing?" Avery frowned.

"Anne toldabout this, Kendall said that she was hungry..." "My God, Rick is really out of his mind. Why did he take her out to eat under such circumstances? Couldn't they call for room service?" Peter shook his head with a smile. "After all, they're still in the honeymoon period. I think that Rick seems to have let go of Ms. Emerson. I think he's really let go of it all. It must not have been easy, so it's understandable that his relationship with Kendall has becgood." Even if their relationship was better, they should pay attention to safety. Now they didn't know where Christopher was, let alone why he had cto the hotel.

Avery was speechless.

But on second thought, even if something happened to Rick and Kendall, it would have nothing to do with him. The two of them could only blthemselves for it. "Hey, this is the man who was going to marry me," Avery sighed.

Peter laughed at this for a long time.

After he took Kendall for food, Rick brought her to a shopping mall nearby.

"Rick, aren't you afraid of Christopher and the others? Avery and Peter senta message saying that we should go back early," Kendall said.

"It's fine." "Can you beat him?"

"It's not a problem. He won't mess with us; there's no need. We have no business relationship with Shane. If you think about it from Charlotte's point of view, he's better off looking for Avery, isn't it?" Rick said with a smile. Strictly speaking, it was a smart choice for Elaine to search Avery out.

After all, it was almost impossible for the Jane Corporation to cooperate with Shane.

"Alright." Kendall nodded, not fully understanding. "If we are fine, who will be in danger? Should we warn them? After all... they are all nice to me."

"I'm sure Charlotte won't go out.

Avery's keeping an eye on the two kids. Peter and Zoe are in the hotel as NO well Shane is accompanying Charlotte... It shouldn't be a problem," Rick said. And yet.

After he said this, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Oh no." X
