Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Rick watched her throwing a tantrum and felt himself grow more tired. He sighed. "If I've really become so indifferent to you that I don't bother with anything you do, will you be happy?" Kendall's heart sank, thinking that her unreasonable behavior finally broke Rick's patience. She felt sad but also relieved. She nodded at him. "Yes, from today on, treat me as though I'm invisible and I will be happy."

She had been the one who had come to him the moment she got injured.

Rick didn't know how to deal with her. He thought that he should let her cool off for a few days and said, "Alright, from today onward, I will treat you as if you don't exist."

After he said this, Rick indeed did not go to her side anymore. Kendall did not wake up until almost noon. When she went to the kitchen to get food, she found that Rick did not leave her a note like he did on other days. When he came back in the evening, he did not go to her room to talk to her. Although they were in the same house, it was like they were worlds apart.

Although Kendall felt lost, she also felt more at

ease.

This lasted for two days. On the third day, Kendall really couldn't endure the itching of her scalp. She wanted Rick to get someone to wash her hair for her or something.

She bit her lip and stood in front of his study. When she was about to knock on the door, she heard Rick's voice coming from inside. "I won't marry her, nor do I need to marry her. Even if the matter with the Stevens family involves me, it still has nothing to do with me. As for Kendall, as long as you can find her, you can do whatever you want with her. It has nothing to do with me. But it's disgusting that you got someone to mess up my place because you couldn't find her."

"Kendall isn't here with me, I'll say it again. I've long since had nothing to do with her. I don't need to prove that to you, and I won't accept your marriage requests."

After he said so, Rick pushed the door open.

Taken by surprise, Kendall took a step back. Her eyes were blinking madly.

Rick put the phone into his pocket and walked out without looking at her. Kendall suddenly reached out and grabbed him. "Rick."

He immediately stopped. He did not want to injure her already wounded hands.

"What's wrong?" He leaned over to look at her. He was gentle and modest, exactly the same as the first time she saw him.

"I need to wash my hair. Can you find me a hairstylist or something..."

"Okay, I'll arrange it. Why don't you go upstairs and wait?"

He was polite, gentle and distant.

Kendall blinked. She had thought that after Rick said that he would treat her as if she did not exist, he would be particularly cold to her, but she had never thought that he would be gentle to her. She was not used to it. She nodded. "Okay, then I will go upstairs first..."

"Be careful on the stairs."

Rick said the most considerate words, but the way he turned around and left was also natural and decisive.

Kendall looked at his retreating back and sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.

She lay on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze. In her mind, she thought of Rick's usual behavior. She remembered the time they spent together. She felt that the Rick she was in love with was not the same Rick who spoke to her today.

Half an hour later, Rick's stylist came to the villa.

As he did a scalp treatment for Kendall, he joked, "I have never seen you before. Are you Rick's new girlfriend?"

"I... don't think so?" she answered awkwardly.

"I don't know if you know Miss Charlotte. I have seen her before. Her hair is much more difficult to manage compared to yours. It's too long."

That was right.

Perhaps it was because her hair was not long enough that Rick didn't like her.

"But, your hair feels nicer, soft and fluffy."

Kendall silently waited for the stylist to finish. She returned to her room and wanted to go to sleep. However, as soon as she opened the door, she saw Rick standing inside.

She was stunned.

Rick smiled at her and said, "Can you sit outside for a while?"

"Oh, okay."

Kendall scratched the back of her head and left the room. She went to the lounge on the second floor and sat down.

She rested her head on her hands.

She still couldn't figure it out. Maybe it was better to ask someone else.

The first person she asked was not Charlotte, but Anne. In her mind, she felt quite silly for going to ask Charlotte about Rick. But when she asked Anne about Rick, it was better. Maybe it was because Anne was Rick's sister, and Charlotte had nothing to do with Rick now.

Anne quickly replied with a message. "My brother is like this. He is particularly gentle to others, but he is particularly fierce to me. But when you were with him, he became gentler with me. I really think there's something wrong with him, because he is particularly harsh to people who are close to him."

"Did he do the same to Charlotte too?"

"Maybe? He's very nice to Charlotte, but he wasn't very close to her. He said that he likes Charlotte a lot, but he still acted the same way. Otherwise, why didn't Charlotte like him? He's a better man than Shane."

In other words.

Rick treated the people he didn't care about with tenderness while he showed his inner self to those he cared about? Kendall felt that Rick was quite strange. Shouldn't people be kind to those they are close to and treat strangers indifferently?

It didn't matter. She really didn't understand Rick, so she didn't think about it anymore.

Late at night.

Kendall wanted to towel herself off, so she went back to her room. Rick was still inside. There was someone else there too.

"I will still take a while here. If you're sleepy, you can sleep in my room for a while." Rick was still smiling at her.

"I want to take a shower," she said.

"There is a bathroom in the other room."

Kendall nodded and turned to leave.

Rick's smile lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared. He frowned and thought for a moment before getting up immediately and went in her direction.

"Kendall."

He suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Kendall was confused. "What's wrong?"

"Your hand hasn't healed yet. Do you want me to help you with it?" he asked.

"No, I can do it myself. Why don't you get me a pair of gloves?"

"Okay."

Rick quickly sent a pair of gloves over.

Kendall put them on and the water temperature.

Then she put down the towel and said, "I'll take a shower now. You can go out."

Rick left the bathroom and closed the door, but he didn't go far. He just sat on the edge of the bed and didn't get up until Kendall came out.

Kendall was stunned when she saw him. "Why are you still here?"

"I was waiting for you."

"Is there something wrong?"

"I will be going abroad in two days. Don't go out."

"I see."

Rick smiled at her. "Then I'll take my leave."

Kendall hesitated for a moment, but still said to him, "Aren't you going to take me too?"

Rick stopped. When he heard this, he was extremely shocked. But soon, he returned to normal. "It would be very inconvenient. If you want to go out, it's better for you to go yourself in the future." "What if something happens to me while I'm here..."

"Kendall, I don't understand what you mean." Rick turned to look at her. "You wanted me to treat you as if you didn't exist, but took the initiative to ask me to take you abroad. What on earth do you want?"

"I think you are very pitiful." Kendall approached him and stared at him with innocent eyes. "Rick, aren't you tired of pretending for me? Does it feel good to take your temper out on the people closest to you? Do you want people to think that those who care for you are crazy that they put up with you? And if they keep a distance from you, they will..."

"I can't deal with having an intimate relationship." Rick interrupted her. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been unable to keep Charlotte by my side."

"What about me?"

Rick was stunned.
