Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 387

"We can go back first and leave them under Peter and Zoe's care," Shane suggested.

"Are we going back together? Don't you want to stay here and relax for a while?"

"There's no need."

Shane didn't care about rest at all. He was used to being busy all year round. Even when he was on vacation, he would occupy himself with books. For him, it was just a change of environment to read. There was no difference. Anything Charlotte needed, he would help.

Charlotte wanted to remind him that it was best to take a rest. But thinking that he hadn't touched his computer for the past two days and had just been reading books, she didn't mention it again.

The next day.

Sheryl plastered herself against Charlotte and Shane, reluctant to see them leave. "Greatgrandma went back, so did you. Only Olive and I are left. So when we return, you have to arrange delicious food for us and accompany us."

"I'm sorry, honey. I'll definitely spend more time with you," Charlotte said apologetically as she pulled them into her arms. "Mommy didn't think that something would go wrong with the endorser. Let's do it next time, alright?"

"It's okay, you're busy. I have Olive and Aunt Zoe. In fact, I'm not afraid of being lonely, but I will miss you."

Sheryl blinked her big eyes, a look of pure innocence.

"Alright." Charlotte gently stroked her hair and said, "Baby, when we get back, I'll bring you guys to ride a Ferris wheel, okay? Didn't you always want to ride on one?"

"No, the Ferris wheel is not fun. Olive said that it is particularly dangerous."

Charlotte wanted to praise her for being sensible. Before she could say anything, Shane spoke first, "Sheryl, do you want to live with Olive? To study with her and attend classes together?"

Olive's eyes lit up. She liked being with Sheryl, and Avery said that Sheryl would be her friend for life. But what was a friend of a lifetime? In her opinion, it's sharing fun things and good food with her. Then she would lie on her bed and read books and dream together.

This was the best friend she wanted for the rest of her life.

"I want to, but I've been living with grandma and great-grandma all the time, haven't I? So, can I stay with Olive?" Sheryl got along well with Olive these two days, so she was very eager to live with her.

"Of course, as long as you are willing," Shane replied.

Charlotte felt strange. Why did Shane suggest for Sheryl to live with Olive? Now their relationship with Avery was precarious. If someone else knew that Sheryl was under his care...

"Of course I'd like to!"

"But you can only stay at home."

Sheryl thought about it, staying at home meant not going to school. She liked kindergarten and pre- school classes, not the people, but the atmosphere.

Sheryl was conflicted. She recalled the scene of reading together with Olive two days ago. Olive liked reading and learning, so it might be fun to stay with her. Sheryl nodded resolutely and said, "Okay, I won't go out."

Seeing that the matter had been decided, Avery began to raise his concern. "Shane, before asking the children, shouldn't you ask—" However, before he could finish his words, Shane flashed him a look of anger.

Avery touched his nose and didn't dare continue. He acquiesced, "You can leave the children with me, but I won't be responsible if something happens."

"You want something bad to happen to my child?"

Avery was at a loss for words.

"Alright, stop provoking him." Charlotte smiled and said, "I know it's not easy to deal with him."

It's the first sensible sentence Avery had heard all day. He said excitedly, "Let's do this. I can help take care of the children. Please find a good tutor and a nanny. That should do it."

"Sure, there's someone at the Fuller Residence who is available at a moment's notice."

"Okay, I'll leave the arrangements to both of you. I'll bring the kids back to Brine. As for Sheryl, you can announce to the public that she went back to the city with Mrs. Fuller Senior," Avery said.

Shane gave a faint sound of assent and left with Charlotte.

Avery looked at the children beside him and asked, "Have you really decided to be roommates? You'll live together every day and can't travel like this. You will have to get accustomed to each other's habits. Therefore, it might affect your friendship."

"We'll take care of it." Sheryl stood with arms akimbo. "Anyway, I'm the best at apologizing."

"I don't think we have any habits we need to work on. We're still children, what kind of bad habits could we have?" Olive was very rational.

The corner of Avery's mouth twitched.

He had never heard a child being so matter-of-fact about not having living habits. He did worry too much. Sheryl and Olive were able to handle bigger matters with ease, let alone this small fry.

Avery bent down and stroked their heads, "No matter what happens, I will protect you. But Sheryl, why didn't you tell your parents that you wanted to stay with them?"

"Mommy has been taking care of me for many years. Now that she's finally found Daddy, I want them to spend more time together. Besides, they're really busy. I heard from Olive that you can work from home, but my parents can't." Sheryl sighed.

If Mommy and Daddy could work from home, she would have stayed with them. No, actually, it would be better for them to have the place to themselves.

She would study hard and grow up faster. Anyway, she knew her parents loved her. She had Mommy and Daddy, and that was enough.

Avery did not expect Olive to be so perceptive. He sighed and said, "Is this really Shane's daughter?"

What happened to Shane's daughter?

Sheryl tilted her head, not understanding what Avery meant.

"Well, let's go back to our rooms. It's cold outside."

"But it's summer now."

"Sheryl, you're not cute."

Sheryl giggled.

With laughter like a chime of bells, everyone entered the hotel. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

A few hours later, Charlotte and Shane arrived at Brine. The first thing she did was head back to the office. The Planning Department and Public Relations Department had prepared all the information, even the Legal Department had drawn up documents.

This was enough to show that her company was getting stronger.

Charlotte sat down and flipped through the documents. She frowned and said, "You mean that Cassius' company is unwilling to negotiate with us, and his team doesn't want anything to do with us, but Cassius himself asked us for help?"

"Yes, I was also puzzled at the beginning." The PR executive continued, "In principle, he didn't need to set up a meeting with us. He seemed to be very anxious, as if he needed someone to help him."

"So we can conclude that his company and team didn't want him to speak out, not that he didn't want to?"

"We can't verify this. We can only say that he is in a very bad situation now. His company is willing to sacrifice him as collateral."

Headache.

Charlotte leafed through the documents and asked, "How much is the cost of saving him?"
