Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 435

Charlotte brought Shane back to the bedroom and handed him his clothes. "You should know how to wear them, right?"

"Yes," Shane took it and answered obediently. "Miss, where did you go in the afternoon and evening? I've been waiting for you."

When Shane sincerely said that he had been waiting for her, Charlotte could feel her heart melting. She smiled meekly and held him tight in her arms, gently stroking the back of his head. "I went to find your mother and asked about you. Shane, do you know that Avery is Augustus's younger brother?"

"Is that so? Then, why is Augustus not here with me?" he asked.

"He's..."

"Is Heidi married to him? I think they make a good couple, although they always quarrel when they see each other." Shane laughed. "Ever since I knew Augustus, I thought he would be together with Heidi one day."

No wonder.

Shane always said that he had never liked Heidi before. It turned out that, in his mind, Heidi was the perfect match for Augustus. So, when she was mad at him because of Heidi, was he missing Augustus very much while trying to explain the situation to her? Was he sad and lost but had no one to talk to?

Charlotte's heart ached again. She couldn't imagine how much pain and sorrow Shane had suffered alone.

"Miss?" Shane called her softly.

"That's right. They, the two of them are together, they..." Charlotte stopped speaking and lowered her gaze. She couldn't bear to lie to him.

"It's okay even if they're not together." Shane thought that she was feeling guilty for lying to him about them being together. "They have their own happiness, and I will give them my blessings too."

"Go take a shower and go to sleep. I'll tell you about Augustus and Heidi another day, okay? You must care about them very much."

"Okay, that's a deal."

Then, Shane went to take a shower. Charlotte sat on the bed, her eyes brimmed with tears.

How was she supposed to tell Shane about this?

They were both your childhood best friends. One died for you when you were 18, and the other died in a fire on your 12th birthday.

The three of you were more intelligent than ordinary people in your teens. You all were on top of the world back then. Your lives had just begun. However, your lives, too, might have come to an end when you all were only teens.

They died physically, but you...

The more Charlotte thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Shane.

When Shane came out, Charlotte stared at his face in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Shane sat down beside her and said, "Is it because a 12-year-old soul is living under this skin, and you don't like it?"

"It's not that. I feel sorry for you."

"With you by my side, no matter what happens, everything would be fine, right?" Shane said happily.

Charlotte lowered her head and remained silent.

After finding out what happened, should she let him restore his memory?

"Should I let him be happy forever by allowing him to continue living as a 12-year-old, or should I brutally make him remember all the pain he had gone through?"

The next day.

Charlotte woke up.

She opened her eyes, noticing that Shane had already woken up. He sat by the bed and looked out of the window with a frown.

"Shane?" she called him softly.

Shane turned to look at her and gave her a slight nod. "You woke up."

"Are, are you the twelve-year-old Shane or..."

"My memory has been restored." His voice was flat. It was so emotionless that it sent chills down her spine.

She lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

"About Heidi and Augustus being together. It would be great if they were really together," Shane said as he stood up and lowered his gaze to look at her. "What else do you know?"

She shook her head.

Shane's intense eyes were fixed on her. He said, "No matter what you know, stop investigating."

"I really want to know what has happened to you all those years to mold you into who you are today. Maybe I don't deserve to know it. But it doesn't matter. Shane, I have made up my mind. Whether you are willing or not, I will take everything from you." "Oh?" He narrowed his eyes.

"Play the piano. I like the way you look when you play the piano." She looked at him seriously. "If you're not willing to play it, I'll make you play it with all my might."

Shane looked at her quietly.

Charlotte clenched her fists and said, "l-l may not know all the things that happened to you in the past, and I don't care what kind of person you've turned into because of those things. I only know that I own your present and future."

"Don't tell anyone that I have restored my memories."

"What?"

"I want to see what tricks they're going to play on me."

Charlotte blinked and reached out to tug his sleeve. "Shane..."

"Don't worry, I can tell right from wrong. If you like watching me play the piano, I'll play it. There's no need to threaten me." He turned to grip her hand and said with a faint smile, "As for the debt that you've incurred for threatening me, I'll eventually let you pay for it in the future."

"Umm..." She sighed softly and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Forget about that. Do you know how much my heart ached for you? I wanted so much to meet you earlier and experience all those things with you. Whether it's the thing about Augustus or Heidi, if they're still alive, they'll definitely hope that you can be happy and contented."

"Charlotte, if it wasn't for that accident, and if you hadn't come back to our country, I would be neither happy nor contented." He looked down at her face, his eyes filled with tenderness. "There are some things that I haven't had the chance to tell you. I think that now is the right time."

"Shane..."

"I love you." He placed his fingers on her lips, not allowing her to interrupt. "And I will only love you. Other people are dispensable to me. But if you die one day, I will take your ashes with me and find an uninhabited island. I'll let the workers build a castle there. You and I will be sleeping in the castle until disaster arrives."

Charlotte's tears started rolling down her cheeks in an instant.

Shane wiped away her tears with his thumb. His eyes flickered as he said, "Don't cry."

"Shane, I love you too. Although I've never thought about what I would do after you died, I think your idea is amazing. Let's make this a promise then. No one will leave the other. As long as one of us is dead, the other has to find an uninhabited island."

"Okay. I'll buy one in two days."

"We will put lots of refrigerators and food in the castle. We also need fertile land to plant vegetables and trees. We'll need a net and..."

Before she could finish, he had already shut her up with a kiss.

After they pulled away from the kiss, he held the back of her head with his fingers interlocked and said, "When we buy it, let's design it together."

"All right."

She nestled in his arms and said, "Shane, go ahead and do whatever you want. Leave everything that binds you. The Fuller Family, money, and status. Just leave them all to me."

"If one day, you can't bear it anymore, you must tell me."

"No, I want you to play the piano forever."

"Do you like watching me play the piano so much?" He felt helpless.

"There is light in your eyes only when you play the piano."

Oh well.

Just let her do as she liked.

The door was pushed open at that moment. It was Avery who walked in. He widened his eyes and said, "D*mn, Charlotte, you are wild. How can you do that to a twelve-year-old child? Our baby Shane is so sad. Am I right, baby Shane?"

Avery reached out and patted Shane's head.

Charlotte was struck speechless.

She held her forehead with one hand and closed her eyes as she silently prayed in her heart.

"God, please don't let Shane be angry. Please give your blessings to Avery so that he won't die. Please."

"Mr. Hart," Shane said.

This time, Charlotte was panicking.

Sh*t.

"Oh, God. You don't have to bless him anymore. Just take me with you. Let's sit down and have a nice chat instead."

As the only one who knew that Shane had regained his memories, Charlotte felt that she might die from holding in her laughter.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
