Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 338

Cole took out a photo. "It's said that Kale and Avery's sister used to be students together. They had a good relationship. When Kale first debuted, Avery also took care of him. I don't know why Avery brought him here this time. Mr. Fuller, is this your idea?"

"He's just here to attract attention." Shane put Cole's phone aside and said, "Well done."

"Indeed, since he brought a celebrity with him, it's likely that many people will notice him..." Charlotte finally reacted.

Even if he brought Kale with him for other purposes, this purpose was inescapable.

During their conversation, Avery and Rick had already bumped into each other. The two of them chatted and drank as they had in the past. Suddenly, Avery threw the glass in his hand. Charlotte could see that Rick was clearly stunned. She did not think that Avery would fall out with him so quickly. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

The noise downstairs was so loud that Charlotte could clearly hear Avery's roaring voice. He was saying...

"You were at the scene when my sister had an accident in Brine. Why didn't you tell the others where she went? Why didn't you dare tell the law? What are you afraid of? How dare you bring it up!"

Rick's face was blank. There was nothing he could do but feign ignorance.

Charlotte and Avery had always shared information. So she was very clear on the fact that the group of people who had dealt with Avery's younger sister did not include Rick. Otherwise, Avery would not have been friends with Rick for so long.

However, he chose to break off all ties with Rick with this excuse, which showed his determination to do so...

Once his sister and Irena were mentioned, it would be impossible for him to turn back. This was something that Charlotte knew better than anyone else. Avery wanted to use his sister and Irena to remind himself that he could not forget his objective.

"I used to treat you as a friend, but I didn't expect that you hid this kind of thing from me. If I hadn't asked you today, how long would you keep it from me?"

Then Avery burst into tears.

His crying was honestly a little scary. Even Charlotte didn't expect him to cause such a scene.

Shane looked at this scene with a sullen face. Charlotte understood Avery, but she didn't know how relentless Avery was. Although he didn't know Avery, he could understand his behavior.

Avery needed a way to vent his emotions. Whether it was Rick or Kendall, he just wanted to shout about the unfairness he had suffered. Coincidentally, this opportunity was in front of him.

Some people began to try to stop them from fighting. The noise increased and the place became even more chaotic.

The reporter Shane had arranged for rushed into the hotel. Shane stood up. "Let's go."

Charlotte still wanted to watch. She stood up and left through the side door. Before she left, she turned around to take another look. No one had come out of the hotel. Everyone was left behind at that absurd event.

It was fine that Shane's men didn't leave, but why didn't the rest of them leave?

Maybe people just didn't have any empathy. They couldn't share their pain and sadness, so they wanted to watch others fall on their faces, to watch others suffer and relish it with joy.

After they returned home.

Charlotte couldn't calm down for a long time. She sent several messages to Avery, but he didn't reply.

It was the middle of the night. She was very sleepy, but she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. Her mind was unusually clearheaded. She looked at the TV in a daze. She was obviously very tired, but she couldn't close her eyes.

Suddenly, her phone rang and she shivered. When she came back to her senses, she picked it up. "Hello?"

"What's wrong? Are you so worried about me?" Avery's voice came from the other end.

"Are you alright?"

"Hey, why don't you tell her if I'm okay?" Avery seemed to have handed the phone to someone by his side.

"Lottie, it's Rick."

"Why are you still together?"

"It's a long story. We're here to see Shane now. I have a piece of good news to tell you, by the way. Rather, it's good news for you."

Charlotte sensed that something was wrong when she heard this. Any good news that involved her could only have to do with the Emerson Corporation. Did something happen with Christopher and

Elaine again?

Charlotte wanted to ask, but Avery took the phone again. "Lottie, it's a little complicated. The point is that we've succeeded. There's someone who wants to cooperate with me. Guess who it is."

"Christopher?"

"Hahaha. I knew you were going to guess him. Actually, it's not him, but someone else."

"It can't be..."

"Elaine thought that Christopher was about to lose. Then she saw that I had a quarrel with Rick and thought that I had nothing to do with you. She thought that even if Rick was with Kendall, he would be against you. So, she said that she is going to cooperate with me. What do you think? Are you surprised?" Avery laughed out loud after he finished speaking.

This was the best news she had gotten recently.

When she heard this, Charlotte also felt that Elaine's logic was incredible. Not to mention she was the one who had brought Avery back to Brine. Even if she wanted to seek cooperation, she should investigate the relationship between Avery and Charlotte, right?

The relationship between her and Avery was really complicated. Their relationship was so complicated that it wasn't necessary to get a professional to investigate it. If you inquired about it in their circles, you would get a good idea of it. Why would Elaine still cooperate with Avery? What was going on in her mind?

"I can't accept her thinking." Charlotte voiced her opinion.

"Something went wrong with her logic."

Avery finished speaking and laughed. Charlotte couldn't help but laugh as well. After that, she heard Rick's laughter too.

After a while, Avery and Rick came to the car. He pressed the button on the key fob and opened the door. He got into the car with Rick. "We're in the car, Lottie. We'll talk about it after we arrive at your house."

"Alright."

After the call, Charlotte didn't feel sleepy anymore. After she told Shane about it, she began to cook a midnight snack. After all, it might take a long time to talk about it. They wouldn't be sleeping for a while. She made some cookies. Since it was sprinkled with chocolate chips, the smell was very fragrant.

After making some tea, the doorbell rang.

Charlotte wiped her hands and opened the door.

Avery held a large bouquet of roses in his hand. "I heard from Shane that you like this."

"You're in such a good mood today that you want to buy me flowers?" Charlotte took the bouquet.

"And this one." Rick brought forward a cake.

Avery revealed his other hand, which held a case of beer. It seemed that he was going to get drunk tonight.

After a while, Shane came out of the room. He wore a pair of glasses with a gold frame and held a book in his hand. Based on the cover, it looked like it was in German.

The four of them sat down at the table. Avery placed the food on the table and Charlotte also brought over the cookies. Once everyone was done eating, it was already eleven o'clock. Rick's phone rang.

He answered it. "Hello?"

"Rick..." Kendall's voice came from the other end. She seemed to be crying.

"What's wrong?" Rick's voice softened.

"It sounds like Kendall," Avery said.

Kendall sniffed. "When are you coming back?"

Rick frowned and looked up at the clock. "I'm not sure when I'll be home tonight."

"How did you know it was Kendall?" Charlotte asked curiously.

Rick often used this type of voice to talk to her, so she did not sense that there was anything wrong with it. However, Avery understood better than anyone else, so he only gave her a mysterious smile.

Now, Charlotte was even more puzzled. She lowered her voice and said, "Avery, tell me properly."

Kendall heard Lottie and Avery's voices and guessed that Rick was busy. She looked down at her legs and then rubbed her stiff cheeks. "That's all right then. I just wanted to ask. I miss you. I'm going to sleep now."

"Alright. Rest well."

The call ended.

Kendall looked at the dark screen and buried her head in her arms.

Better. She could still be better.
