Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 94

His voice slowly faded as he walked away. Shane's mouth twitched slightly.

"Mr. President, did you want to see me?"

Zoe Watson, Shane's secretary, stood before him in a professional suit. She had the career every woman was envious of but it didn't come without a price. She had to be patient and calm all the time.

"Yes."

But after a long pause, Shane turned to Zoe and said, "It's fine. You can leave."

Even though Zoe was very confused, she didn't question him. She respectfully pushed the door open and left.

After getting off work, Charlotte couldn't help but go to Sheryl's kindergarten. However, she noticed a familiar car parked at the side of the road outside the kindergarten.

She immediately knew who it was by one look at the number plate.

"President, it's Mrs. Fuller-"

Cole clenched his teeth and said. He glanced nervously at Shane, who was resting, through the rearview mirror.

God knows how long they had been waiting outside of the kindergarten...

Shane slowly opened his eyes. His intense eyes gradually relaxed.

"Mr. President, I think Mrs. Fuller has seen us. I'll go..."

Cole swallowed hard as he felt a chill down his spine and his voice slowly became softer.

"It's fine."

Shane sat crossed- legged and looked at Charlotte who quickly averted her gaze from his car. There was a strange feeling in his heart.

As the school bell rang, a group of children rushed out of the yard.

"Mommy —"

Sheryl ran towards Charlotte excitedly with open arms. While she was in Charlotte's arms, her eyes darted back and forth.

"Baby, what are you looking at?"

Charlotte asked in confusion.

"Mommy, didn't daddy come?"

Sheryl noticed Charlotte was a little jealous so she immediately said, "Mommy, I want both you and daddy's love."

"I'll hold her."

At some point, Shane had walked to their side. He gave off a very domineering vibe, there were few people who would dare to approach him.

Charlotte wanted to refuse him but when she saw Sheryl stretched out her arms towards him, she couldn't help but smile a little.

Charlotte shrugged her shoulders helplessly as she watched the two of them leave happily.

Would she have to leave this place completely when the contract expires?

"You guys go ahead. I have to go back to the Emerson family."

Charlotte explained to Shane as she looked at the car door opened by Cole and shook her head.

"Okay."

Shane didn't ask any further but nodded his head nonchalantly.

"Thank you."

Charlotte gritted her teeth without looking at him.

The Emerson Family Charlotte dragged her exhausted body back to the front door of the Emerson Villa only to see the lights still on in the living room.

She wanted to quickly pass by the living room but someone suddenly called out her name.

"Lottie-"

Elaine smiled viciously when Charlotte paid her no attention. "Lottie, I have no idea what happened at the office today. If I knew, I would've saved you," she continued.

Charlotte could already picture her phoney face without even turning around.

"Timothy? You're home early."

Elaine feigned innocence and looked at the man who was taking off his suit at the door. The corners of her mouth lifted to form an evil smile.

"Yes."

Elaine continued in a weak voice.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Timothy punched the sofa angrily but he had made a decision in his heart.

"Didn't I say I don't want you to worry? How can you blame me..."

Timothy had no choice but to give in when he saw Elaine's tearful face.

After she returned to her room, Charlotte locked herself up and laid on the bed frozen. She only managed to break out from her thoughts when her phone started to vibrate.

"Anne..."

Anne's heart jumped when she heard Charlotte's worn out voice over the phone.

"Lottie, what's wrong with you?" Anne glared at the man fastening her seatbelt and asked her anxiously.

"I'm fine."

"Lottie, you've always been a frank person so you don't need to force a smile in front of me. You'd feel better if you talk about it."

Anne said comfortingly.

On the other end of the phone, Charlotte's vision instantly turned blurry.

"Anne, I'm really fine. It's just I'm not used to working at the Emerson Corporation."

Charlotte forced back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.

All of a sudden, Anne burst out laughing. "If you're able to get used to the NC Company, you should do well in your own company."

"I'm just..."

Charlotte had yet to finish her sentence when Anne's cheerful voice blared through the phone. Charlotte couldn't help but move the phone a little further away.

"Charlotte, I haven't seen you cower before when we were abroad. What's the matter? Are you bothered because of this little problem?" Are you still the same Charlotte I know?"

"You can do it."

Charlotte made an encouraging gesture towards her pale self in the mirror after she calmed herself down.
