Chapter 434
Kendall lifted her head and said, "Ask your conscience, are you really sure?"
"Of course. I love you very much. I only admire and respect Lottie now. In fact, you and I both know
that now Charlotte and I are on an equal footing. Even if she wants to drive me away from Brine, I
won''t be angry. She is qualified to do so now."
"But that doesn''t conflict with the fact that you like her." Kendall pouted with a sad face.
"Kendall, you think too highly of me. How can someone like me have the energy to love two people
at the same time? Rest assured, I have too manymon memories and liabilities with you. Even if
I don''t love you one day, I can''t leave you."
"So you will stop loving me one day?"
"You..." Rick choked on frustration. He did not expect her to keep pestering him like this.
Kendall made a face at him and said, "I don''t care. Maybe I would be the one to stop loving you
first. Well, I''m leaving. You can y on your own."
Rick was at a loss for words and stood still at the same spot. After a while, he shook his head and
smiled helplessly. It was not because of what she said. It was because of her hypocrisy. One
second she was worried about whether he would love her, and the next, she said she would stop
loving him. He found this sharp contrast hrious. After all, he was afraid that he would no longer
love her and that she would no longer love him too.
She might not understand how difficult it was for aposed person like him to give up the love
that he had always beenfortable with in the past and love someone so spontaneous like her.
Of course, he did not ask for her to understand. He had always thought that it was enough for him
to bear some things alone.
Charlotte had found a lot of information rted to Augustus.
Needless to say, he had been a top student since he was a child. The most important thing was that
he had already reached the 10th division in Go when he was 15. This kind of achievement...
Charlotte could not help but topare Augustus to Freddie. In the end, she felt that Freddie might
not be as good as Augustus. As an objective factor, there was a big chance that Augustus might
have cooperated with Shane before.
As for Shane, she couldn''t find too much information about him, so she went to ask Raina.
"I didn''t expect you to treat me to a meal."
Raina sat in the extravagant western restaurant. Her eyes traveled around, feeling like she was in a
dream. A year ago, she would never have thought that she would be eating in such a ce with her
son''s woman.
And Charlotte was neither a nobody nor a nobledy. Instead, she was a rather mediocre character
who rose to fame in a short period of time.
"I need your help, after all." Charlotte couldn''t help butugh. "But it''s nothingplicated. I just
want to ask you about Shane."
"Shouldn''t you know more about him than I do?"
"It''s about his childhood."
Raina muttered, "It seems like Zander is no longer alive. I can only guarantee that most of them are
urate, but I''m not sure about the details. At that time, my focus in life was not on Shane. His
father cheated on me, so I had a lot of other things to do."
"I can understand. What I want to ask is pretty general."
"Hmm?" Raina asked in doubt, "Are you sure you cannot find anything about it even with your
means?"
"It''s impossible for us to find what Shane had buried.” "If that''s the case, you can ask away. I''ll try to
answer them."
Charlotte shook her head. "There''s no hurry. We can talk while eating."
After ordering some dishes, Charlotte handed the menu to Raina and asked her to order. She
declined politely and only said, "I''ll eat whatever you order. I''m certain you won''t treat me badly."
"Okay then, make it two." Charlotte pointed at the menu and said, "However, for one portion, the
coffee needs to be reced by juice, swap the pork with chicken, and add more gravy. If it doesn''t
taste good... I think I''ll have to talk to your chef."
When the waiter saw that Charlotte had an extraordinary temperament and was very specific with
her meals, he immediately nodded and bowed, saying, "Don''t worry. There won''t be a problem."
Charlotte handed over a blue banknote and said, "Thank you."
After the waiter left, she looked at Raina and said, "Here''s the thing. I want to know if Shane had
won any prizes when he was a child. Or anything about his school and hobbies."
"Piano. He''s really good at it," Raina replied immediately.
"Is there anything else?"
"He learned Go and French when he was a child. I heard that he met a Chinese boy at a
competition in Paris. The boy was better than him, but he seemed to have passed away. He was
devastated for a period of time. After that, he never yed Go again."
"Was he...really good at Go?"
"Yes." When Raina mentioned this, she leaned forward. "Not only was he good at Go, but he was
also good at everything. Since young, we never had to worry about his studies. We had tried to
persuade him to go to college earlier, but he refused. He insisted on going to college step by step
and would only skip grades if he really couldn''t stand it. When he had extra time, he would spend
them on his hobbies and preparing to take over thepany."
Shane was so clever.
Charlotte couldn''t help but feel astonished.
But it must have been so hard for him.
Charlotte''s heart was filled with pity again.
When he was a kid, Shane was already smart enough to know that he shouldn''t expose himself too
much to the public. Augustus''s death might be rted to his character of being too boastful. As for
why Shane had shut himself out ever since he was a child... It was probably because of his family.
Unlike the Hart family and the Jane family, the Fuller family had a lot of unnecessary dramas
because of Shane''s father. If he wanted to break this chain, he first had to shut himself out.
Moreover, the existence of those people from the Fuller family who had helped Christopher had
shaped him into who he was today.
Once they finished their meals, Charlotte already knew a lot about Shane''s childhood.
Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!
Even if Augustus and Shane were not cooperative partners, they were still really great friends.
Therefore, Shane felt the happiest before the age of 12. That was why he stopped at the period
before he turned 12.
Because after he turned 12...
He lost Augustus, lost Heidi, and lost...
He might have lost more than Charlotte could imagine.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.
She went back to Avery''s vi and found most people had already left. Only Nathan and Freddie
were still there.
"Freddie, I''ll leave Sheryl to you. I''m going to do my homework now." With that being said, Olive
headed upstairs.
"What do you mean by leaving her to me? She was already mine, to begin with," muttered Freddie.
Charlotte walked up to him with a smile and said, "Freddie"
"Hello, Ms. Emerson." Freddie immediately bowed and greeted her in a gentlemanly manner.
"What are you ying with Sheryl?"
"Puzzles and hide-and-seek. But..they are not my match." Freddie shrugged. "I n to teach them
chess to train their brains in a couple of days."
"Well, thank you."
"You can count on me!"
He was eager to make his wife smarter.
Charlotte just gave him a smile.
Shane was sleepy at first, but when he saw her getting closer and closer, he immediately opened
his eyes and got up. "Miss."
Charlotte was stunned for a moment. She then reached out to caress his hair, saying, "Would you
like to go upstairs and sleep?"
"All right."
Shane followed Charlotte upstairs.
Freddie looked at the backs of the two of them and tilted his head. "Father, look at Ms. Emerson
and Mr. Fuller. They look a little strange." "Aren''t you a genius? Can''t you tell what''s going on?"
"Eh?" Freddie was puzzled.
"Mr. Fuller has lost his memory."
I see. No wonder Mr. Fuller didn''t call Ms.
Emerson by her name.
"Both Sheryl and she call me Freddie."
Freddie spoke so softly that only he could hear himself.
