Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)
Chapter 456

Charlotte suspected there was something wrong with her ears. Her movements slackened as she removed her coat. She asked in disbelief, "What did you say? Who turned himself in?" "Christopher," Avery repeated. "He went to the police station and turned himself in. Yesterday when I saw Raina, I wanted to pin everything on him to save Shane. I didn't expect that he would make the first move and turn himself in. I really don't understand. What is his motive?"

"I happen to have time tomorrow."

"Well, let's go and visit him together?"

"Where is Shane?"

"I told him the news, but he gave me no reaction. When this matter is over, you can come over to see him. Otherwise, I am afraid that something will go wrong if this continues."

"Got it." Seeing Shane so disinterested in this new development, Charlotte started to have qualms about seeing him.

Despite not knowing much about the past Shane, she was familiar with him. However, that version of Shane whom she was familiar with would never gather all the Fuller family members and set them on fire. She was afraid to see a cruel Shane who was completely different from the one in her memories.

Avery said, "He is quite strange recently. He either eats and sleeps or swipes on his phone - a complete couch potato. But he has been working so hard for many years. It's natural for him to take a long vacation. So don't be horrified, no one else in this world can pull Shane out of this state except you."

"He's not my shit, why should I drag him out?" Charlotte seethed. She even laughed coldly and said, "No matter what, I don't want to see him for the time being. Let's settle the matter with Christopher first. Also, I've been very busy recently."

"Okay, I got it."

Avery and Charlotte continued discussing business matters. They didn't hang up until they ran out of topics. The critter next to Avery couldn't wait any longer. She reached out to tug at his clothes and asked, "Uncle Avery, what did my mommy say? When will she and Daddy come to see me?"

"Your mommy..." Avery sighed, lifted her up, and positioned her on top of his shoulders. "They may not be able to come in the meantime. Don't you have fun with Olive and Freddie? There's no need to see Mommy. Think about it, now that your Daddy is ill and I have to take care of him, and Uncle Rick is no longer here, everything falls on your Mommy's shoulders. She is very busy. Didn't she always come to accompany you when she was free?"

"I am afraid that Mommy will leave me and Daddy again." Sheryl lowered her head, feeling aggrieved.

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Avery gently patted her head. "You have to believe in your Mommy and Daddy."

"Okay."

After coaxing the child to sleep, Avery let out a long sigh.

Sheryl didn't have a father before. Now that he was back in her life, her mom was absent. She didn't have a normal childhood. Who knew what kind of person she would turn out to be in the future? The next day.

Charlotte and Avery met up in front of the police station and was greeted by Karsen, the Deputy Director of the police station.

"Mr. Bradsaw, it's been a while." Avery extended his hand to shake his hand. "I'm Avery, this is

Charlotte." "I've heard a lot about you two."

"We're here for Christopher."

"I know, because it is a critical period, it's the prisoner's choice to receive or decline visitors. We have informed Christopher and he is eager for your visit on one request." Karsen led them into the police station. "What request?" Charlotte asked.

"He said he wanted to eat lychees. As long as you two can produce lychees, he will give the go-ahead," Karsen replied.

"Lychees? It's off-season now, where can we get them?" Avery pulled up the corners of his mouth. "Forget it, I'll call someone to send it over. Never mind lychees, if he wants the crap of Queen Bloody Mary. I'll make it happen."

Charlotte did not say a word.

The analogy was repugnant.

Avery stepped away to make a phone call. Karsen came to Charlotte's side and said, "Miss Charlotte, I heard that your relationship with Shane was unique. What's your relationship status now?"

"He's my fiance," Charlotte answered. "But his health hasn't been very good recently, so he is resting at home. Do you have anything to say to him? I can convey a message or bring him for a visit next time. After all, you know that this matter regarding Christopher is related to the Fuller family."

Karsen laughed. "That's great to hear. It doesn't matter whether I meet him or not. After all, his resources and connections are in your hands. I'm just worried that Mr. Fuller might be displeased with today's outcome."

"You have nothing to worry about. I speak for him but he doesn't speak for me," Charlotte assured with a smile. "From the day he handed over the reins to me, he should have expected this to happen." "Yeah, many people don't understand why he entrusted it to you. But it seems that his decision was not a poor one."

Avery came back in the middle of their conversation. He slid the phone in his pocket and huffed, "I bought the lychees. It'll take three hours to transport them. Well have to see Christopher first, then eat the lychees later."

"I'll ask for the prisoner's permission. Please wait a moment." Karsen took out his walkie-talkie and spoke to the person on the other end, "Ask him. Yes, the lychees will arrive three hours later. Yes. Okay. Please follow me."

Karsen ushered Charlotte and Avery to a huge glass window. He pointed at two doors behind him and explained, "In a while, the prisoner will come out of that door. Use the phone in front of you to talk to him. The entire conversation is confidential and will not be recorded. Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to record it. However, it's pointless in your case."

Charlotte said, "Thank you."

"Please do as you wish."

After Karsen and his men took their leave, Christopher came out in a short time.

Christopher sat down behind the glass. He looked at Charlotte and Avery with a faint smile. "You didn't expect me to turn myself in, did you?"

Charlotte gazed at him. After a long while, her fingers touched the glass pane. "Why are you doing this? I would rather you sit here for revenge than to conspire with Shane."

"Do you feel wronged for me?" Christopher blinked and laughed. "I didn't expect you to feel that for me. Yes, I should feel aggrieved. But do you know, I don't feel that way at all because my brother and I killed our enemies. As long as they die, it doesn't matter what happens to me. And death isn't necessarily my fate. I just set the fire, I didn't know they would be inside."

"You didn't know they were inside? How do you explain the invitations?" Avery frowned.

Christopher burst out laughing. "I had nothing to do with the invitations. There are too many plot twists that you don't know about. Shane can tell you all about it in the future. You can ask me anything related to me, though."

"I just want to know if you'll be sentenced to death." Charlotte stared deeply at him.

Death penalty?

Christopher shook his head and said, "First of all, I hurt them accidentally. Secondly, I attempted suicide in the past. Thirdly, I was officially diagnosed with mental illness. At most, I will be locked up in a psychiatric hospital."

However...
