Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 264

Shane's phone suddenly rang, and Charlotte was startled. She immediately pushed him on the shoulder and said, "You, your phone is ringing."

Her voice was trembling. She was so shy that she didn't dare to look at him.

It was not the first time she was so close to him, but she could still be shy and avoided looking at him.

Shane didn't answer his phone. Actually, because he was holding her just now, his phone had fallen to the sofa, it was difficult to find his phone so quickly. He didn't bother looking for it. Besides, he didn't have anything urgent to deal with now.

It didn't matter if he didn't answer the phone.

"Aren't you going to answer the phone?" Charlotte was unable to push him away.

"There's no rush."

"What would make you rush?"

"You."

Her?

Why did she feel so anxious?

When Shane saw that Charlotte was at a loss, he wanted to tease her instead. He lowered his voice and said, "You look like you're in a rush."

Charlotte opened her eyes wide in disbelief and stared at Shane's beautiful eyes. She wanted to see the slightest hint of a joke in his eyes. However, he didn't seem affected at all.

How could he say something like that with a straight face?

"I found that I can't act normal when I'm with you."

Shane's long fingers rubbed her chin, and his body slowly leaned towards her. Finally, he laid on her thighs and bent over to kiss her.

Charlotte was stunned.

Shane was lying on her lap, while she bent down to kiss him?

Even in her dreams, she didn't dare imagine this. It was so beautiful.

The distant light was shining on his face, giving him a kind of hazy sense of beauty. And the distance was just right, so she could see all the lines on his face clearly.

"Ah!!!"

An ear- piercing scream interrupted their tender moment.

Charlotte was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

Shane stood up immediately, grabbed the back of her head with his long fingers, and held her in his arms. He pulled her up, and went to the private room's French window. When he stood here, he could see everything on the first floor.

There were many people on the first floor, and the colorful outfits were not as eye-catching as their obscured faces.

In the center of the first floor, there was an empty space. There was no one there, only a bloody corpse. Right then, Shane's phone rang again.

Shane arranged Charlotte to sit on the sofa and bent down to look for the phone in the seam between the sofa cushions. He picked up the phone and put it to his ear. "Avery."

"Something happened. Rick's younger sister was killed."

"Rick's younger sister?" Shane shot a glance at Charlotte.

He knew that it was precisely because Charlotte had a very good relationship with Anne that she knew Rick.

"Do you want to come and have a look?"

"Take her downstairs for a look?" Shane thought.

Shane rejected this idea.

If Anne was killed, Charlotte would probably faint if she saw the scene of the incident. It was better for him to figure out what was going on first.

"I'll come downstairs right away," Shane answered and hit the end call button.

"What's wrong?" Charlotte asked.

"Something happened downstairs. Avery asked me to go down. You can stay up there for a while. If you're hungry, I'll ask Cole to bring you some food."

"Can't I go downstairs with you?" Charlotte blinked her eyes.

Shane put his hands on the back of the sofa and pressed her between himself and the sofa. His cool breath sprayed on her delicate face.

Charlotte suddenly felt like she was drunk. She turned her head away from him and the feeling of his breath.

Shane's lips were right next to her ear. His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it was very cold. He said-

"Do you want to see the body?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and walked out.

For a moment, Charlotte was a little stunned. When she finally got herself together, she clenched her fists angrily.

Shane!

To one side, Cole was laughing so much that his shoulders shook after seeing the couple bicker.

He really thought that Miss Charlotte was suited to Mr. Fuller. When he was with her, Mr. Fuller could behave childishly. Some people said that men always acted like kids when dealing with the woman they loved. It was only now that Cole realized that Mr. Fuller had a childish side to him.

And this childish side was something only Miss Charlotte could see.

On the first floor.

Rick had gotten someone to seal off the crime scene.

There was a pool of blood in the middle of the room and it gave off a horrid smell. Most of the people around them looked serious while some were sad. Those who looked disgusted were ushered to the back.

On the way, Shane noticed that many people were still laughing and talking. He frowned.

"You're here." Avery found Shane in the crowd at a glance.

His aura was clean and elegant. Even if he was thrown into a crowded amusement park, he was likely to be spotted at a glance.

Shane nodded and stood beside him. "What's going on?"

"The victim is Rick's cousin. Her name is Mielle Jane."

Meow Jane?

What kind of name was that?

Shane gave a faint response and immediately lost interest in this matter.

It was good that the victim was not Anne. It had nothing to do with him anymore.

"I didn't expect you two to come to this gathering."

Rick's voice suddenly came.

Avery tilted his head and looked to the right.

Rick stood with Kendall. He was dressed nicely and had a neat hairstyle. He was also very handsome, but the more Shane looked at him, the more annoying he found him, especially with Kendall standing beside him. He would love to go up and strangle her.

Everyone in the Stevens family deserved to die.

Avery laughed coldly, "What's wrong, can't I come to any hotels that you own? Even the murderers can come in with dignity. There's no reason for us not to come."

"Avery, have I offended you somehow?" Rick frowned.

Avery had not been like this in the past. Even if he showed his abilities, he was shy about it. Besides, they had no conflict between them during their cooperation.

"I don't care if you're a dog or a cat person. But if you want to bring an animal with you in public, then I can't stand it."

"You..." Kendall's expression changed.

"Kendall Stevens, my name is Avery Hart. You should remember my name."

"What's wrong with you?" Kendall muttered. "What's so great about you?"

Avery was about to lose his temper, but Shane put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Mind your manners."

Rick laughed angrily when he heard that. "Mr. Fuller, I don't think Kendall and I are the instigators here."

"You know that something like this will happen when we meet. Why did you come to greet us?" Shane asked back.

Rick couldn't speak.

"Mr. Jane, if it weren't for this incident, do you think I would have come to greet you?" Shane

asked again.

Rick continued to remain silent.

Shane didn't let him go. He grinned and lowered his voice. "The Jane Corporation's shares haven't all been transferred to you yet. Are you so eager to argue with me?"

"Mr. Fuller, I never knew that you had such a good relationship with Avery." By then, Rick was gnashing his teeth.

"Do you have a bad relationship with me?"

"Has our relationship ever been good?"

"You really assume the worst of me, Mr. Jane."

Shane turned to look at Avery and said, "Why are you still standing here?"

Avery smiled charmingly, leaned over to hold Shane's arm, and kissed him on the cheek with a sweet smile, "Come on, let's go back and find Lottie."

Shane's expression darkened as he held back his anger. Under Rick's complex gaze, he led Avery on a long way away before he pushed him away and gave him a hard punch to his stomach.

"Ouch." Avery covered his stomach as he laughed out loud, "Did you just see Rick's face?"

"I saw it." Shane couldn't help but laugh when he thought of what happened.

"I didn't know that you know how to smile."

Shane's facial expression immediately tensed up.

Avery wiped the corner of his mouth. Shane had used too much strength just now. Avery wasn't used to being beaten. He was hit so hard that he spat some saliva.

Shane was so cruel even to his own people. He didn't know how much strength he had put into beating Kendall. Charlotte was really lucky to meet such a protective man.

"Let me tell you, you better laugh more now. This is a good thing. You are no longer in NC Company. You don't have to be a stressed CEO anymore. You can laugh all you want."

However, Shane simply changed the subject.
