Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Rick looked at the carpet and thought, he really had no idea how much it cost. But Kendall's skill was quite interesting. He said, "I can help you establish a company specializing in the recommendations and evaluations of these. If you're interested, you can start anytime. This way, you can use your energy on something else."

"You... Are you tired of me being by your side?" Feeling sad, Kendall said, "Rick, don't kick me away, okay?"

"I once said that I would set Jane Corporation aside and go on a vacation. By then, we would need a stable source of income, just in case."

"But you don't have extra time or energy to start a new company. If I'm good enough to manage the company you mentioned, we can work while traveling. We'll have enough money, time, and energy..." Kendall was a little tempted, but she was also afraid of leaving Rick.

Rick nodded and said, "Yes. Jane Corporation's Law Department had set up a subsidiary company two days ago. You should know about that. Jane Corporation now has its own law firm."

"I know that."

"So, the office on the 27th floor will be vacated. When the time comes, I will renovate it. You and your team will move there. I will be the legal person of the company, and you will be the CEO. Then, I will grant you my right as a legal person to set up a company that has nothing to do with Jane Corporation. In this way, as long as we don't get married, our income and shares will be entirely unrelated to Jane Corporation." Rick had everything planned out in a split second.

Kendall admired his idea. But at the same time, she was a little unsure. "If we suffer a loss, I..."

"It'll be fine."

After saying that, Rick walked into the bathroom. He really didn't care much about profits and losses. He had enough money for her to squander, as long as she had this skill.

Kendall hesitated for a moment. Then, all of a sudden, she rushed into the bathroom.

Rick had just taken off his clothes and turned on the shower. He was standing with his back facing the door. The water flowed down along the perfect lines of his body. Kendall was stunned at the sight and covered her eyes. "Ri-Rick, I want to ask you, are you sure you want to give us so much money? Do you really think that I can do it?"

There was no answer for a long time. Kendall slowly uncovered her eyes and saw that Rick was looking at her with a speechless expression. "Kendall, I want to take a shower."

"What's up with that?" Kendall was really unhappy to see him covering his body here and there. "You are my boyfriend. Is there anything wrong with this?"

"Wouldn't you think that it's an offense if I did that to you all of a sudden?"

"Then, do you want to see it?"

Looking at Kendall's innocent eyes, Rick really didn't know what to say. He sighed in irritation. "Kendall."

Kendall was actually a little angry.

He had clearly started to care about her, but he still kept a distance from her. His kisses were not deep, and his hugs were only small hugs. She had wanted to take their relationship to another stage many times, but he never said anything about it. Even now, he was already so freaked out when she looked at his body.

Was she a monster?

Feeling down, Kendall's hands began to move as well.

Rick turned his head, his gaze no longer on her.

"Kendall, listen to me, go out."

"I want to take a shower, too."

Rick did not expect Kendall to be so bold. He extended his hand behind him and shook her off. "You are a girl. Why can't you be a little more careful of your behavior?" His tone sounded harsh. Kendall fell and sat on the ground. Her knees were kneeling on the cold ceramic tiles. The water was warm, but it felt cold when it fell on her body, just like Rick. He was gentle to everything, but his gentleness felt cold when it touched her body. Or perhaps, in his heart, she could never occupy a small space of love no matter what.

She wiped her face carelessly. Her tears came rushing down at once.

She said with a sob, "I am shameless. I don't care if I acted that way. I am cheap and inferior. I only hope that I can stay by your side. Even if I have to be a cat or a dog, like a pet, I just want to stay with you and want you to spare another glance at me. I had never expected you to love me, but you made me feel loved. We are all greedy and selfish..."

"If you hadn't treated me so well, I wouldn't have had such expectations of you. Rick, you've been so kind to me. Why can't you..."

Her shoulders were shaking, and she looked so delicate and fragile. Rick's heart was softened at the sight of that.

Rick massaged his temples and said, "Kendall, I've told you many times about why I kept you by my side. If you're having delusions because I treated you too well, from today on, I can treat you like how I did before this. If you accept that, you can continue to stay with me. But if you don't, you can leave."

Leave?

Where else could she go?

Kendall lifted her head and looked at Rick. Her eyes were filled with confusion and despair. "Rick, where can I go if I leave you?"

"That's your business." His attitude was cold.

"You're so nice to me because you want to calm me down and not to hurt me? Isn't it because you like me?"

He did not hate her.

But that was under the condition that she would not cross the line.

He did not have that kind of feeling towards her. To put it bluntly, even if she stood in front of him now and did something out of line, he would not respond to it at all. He kept her around for a purpose, for the sake of responsibility. Other than that, he could give her nothing else.

This had always been a tacit understanding between the two of them. Why did she have to break it today?

"No." Rick decided to give a relatively cruel answer. "Whether I like you or not, you should be very clear about that yourself."

Kendall stood up stiffly. Her eyes were red from crying. She threw herself into Rick's arms and said, "Then I'll make you like me."

He didn't like her and didn't respond to her, but it didn't mean that he could stand her sh*t.

Rick closed his eyes. He did not have any intention of responding to her.

"If you say I'm shameless, then I'll be shameless to the maximum. Rick, I don't regret it." What was she going to do?

Before Rick had time to react, he could tell what she was doing.

"Kendall!" Rick looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief.

She sobbed and said, "Rick, if I can't be your woman in this life, I'd rather die."

Had she gone mad?

Rick wanted to leave, but when she saw the blood on her body, he was stunned.

It was not her who was crazy, it should be him.

He was insane to tell her that he didn't like her and provoked her to do such a crazy thing.

He clearly knew how much she loved him, and he knew that she had always risked everything to be with him. It was not surprising at all that she did such a thing. It was him who was crazy. It was him. "Kendall." He hugged her. "Can you stand up?"

She didn't know.

She probably couldn't stand up now.

Kendall shook her head. The ice-cold water trickled down her hair and landed on her body. She shuddered. Her entire body went limp, and she fell to her knees.

Rick gritted his teeth. "Kendall?"

"It hurts," she thought.

Kendall lay with her cheek on the floor.

If only the water could reach her nose and drown her just like that.

That way, Rick would definitely regret saying that he did not like her.
