Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 15

Seeing Charlotte's tears flow down her cheeks, Sheryl sensibly stopped crying. Instead, she sniffled as she took out the Centurion Card.

"Mommy, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you. I bought the dress with this."

Sheryl carefully observed Charlotte's expression while Anne immediately recognized the origin of the card.

"Isn't this my brother's Centurion Card?"

"Uncle Rick said that with this, not only could I protect mommy, but I could also buy beautiful things to please her. That's why I took it," Sheryl confessed, lowering her head in remorse. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

After all, she had promised Uncle Rick that this was their little secret.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the incident, Charlotte was moved and selfreproached. Sheryl had been kind- hearted and absolutely adorable since she was a wee kid. How could she suspect that Sheryl had done something that she shouldn't have?

"Sheryl, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have doubted

you."

"I shouldn't have made you angry, Mommy."

The warm sight filled Anne with envy. In order to cut the experience short, she changed the topic.

"Sheryl, why don't you tell us more about the handsome mister you mentioned?"

Earlier, she had immediately rushed over once Sheryl called her. Yet, she didn't bump into this handsome mister.

Sheryl's eyes immediately lit up and she spilled the entire story from start to end.

"Our dear Sheryl is so smart!" After listening to the Sheryl's story, Anne planted a big kiss on Sheryl's forehead. Charlotte was also rather gratified to learn that her daughter was too sharp-witted to be bullied.

"Mommy, if you really can't find daddy, I think that handsome mister can also be my daddy." Recalling the words and actions of the handsome man during their short encounter, she felt that he was the perfect match for her beautiful mother.

Hearing this, Anne was reluctant. "Darling Sheryl, don't you want Uncle Rick anymore?"

"Well..." Sheryl seemed to be in some sort of a dilemma. "Well, let's try to find daddy first."

Having to decide between Uncle Rick and Mister Handsome was too difficult a choice for Sheryl to make!

"Anne, you should take this."

After coaxing Sheryl to sleep, Charlotte sent Anne downstairs and handed her the Centurion Card.

Anne hesitated to accept it as she continued to fight for her brother who was abroad.

However, Charlotte was adamant. She shook her head and began, "Anne, you know how I feel about this. I'm not looking for a romantic partner right now. I just want to find Sheryl's father."

In fact, in the depths of her heart, she no longer believed in the existence of romance in this cruel world.

After all, her father's betrayal was still fresh in her mind.

Faced with Charlotte's persistence, Anne had no choice but to accept the card. Before leaving, she attempted to comfort Charlotte.

"Lottie, I have no doubt that Sheryl will grow up safe and in perfect health."
