Chapter 252 Christopher Is Shane’s Older Brother
“You bought this?” Raina stared fixedly at the bracelet.
Although she asked a question, she also knew that Shane would not spend much effort to get this bracelet for her no matter what.
Over the years, Shane had never given her a present, not even the simplest health care products.
“I was the one who bought the ice jade and crystals, and I also determined the style, but I didn’t have the ability to put these two things together, so Shane found me a craftsman to help me,” Charlotte replied truthfully.
“Shane…” Raina immediately took the bracelet in her hands.
“I know you may not like me, and you and Shane may not reconcile. We won’t force you.”
Raina picked up the bracelet but put it down again. In the end, she closed the box and stared at Charlotte. “Are you really sure you want to be with Shane?”
“Yes.”
“Then let me ask you, do you know that he gave his shares to Christopher?”
“I only found out about it after the incident,” Charlotte replied.
“After it happened, can you be sure that he is doing this for you, or does he have other plans?”
After she heard this, Charlotte fell silent.
After a moment, she decided to tell Raina the truth.
She said, “Shane has his own plans and decisions. If I say that he did it for me, it’s inevitable that I’ll think too highly of myself. Plus, the relationship between me and him is not so harmonious, so I don’t think that he did it for me.”
“But what happened afterward made me feel that, even if he made this decision, he might not have taken me into consideration. Thus, my answer is that he has other plans while doing it for me at the same time.”
Raina didn’t expect Charlotte’s logic to be so impenetrable.
Since she had survived in the Fuller family for so many years, of course, she was an impressive figure herself. It was just that she had restrained herself after Shane grew up.
Now, when she looked at this Charlotte, a feeling of being truly old surged in her heart.
“Before, I was indeed biased against you.”
“I know you really mind Sheryl’s existence, so Shane and I want to talk to you about something this time.”
“Oh?”
“Five years ago…”
Charlotte simply told her what had happened five years ago.
For her, it was an unspeakable past. It was painful, sad, and, at the same time, she almost lost everything in that one year.
She had never told anyone about all that had happened, even Zoe, who was close with her, did not know.
But now.
She found herself able to face the past calmly, without a trace of sadness and pain. After she said it lightly, she even had a refreshed feeling.
“Is this true?” Raina didn’t expect that Charlotte’s child was related to Shane either.
“Yes, it’s true,” Charlotte replied.
“It’s no wonder that child looks somewhat similar to Shane…”
Raina muttered to herself.
She was unhappy with Charlotte mainly because Charlotte was a single mother. But now, this child was Shane’s. Besides, Charlotte wasn’t ugly, although her family background was somewhat subpar, Charlotte herself wasn’t too bad.
Once Raina lost the biggest reason to dislike Charlotte, Charlotte suddenly seemed not too bad.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
When Charlotte and Raina entered the sunroom together, Mrs. Fuller Senior gave a gratified smile.
“Great-grandmother, why are you smiling?” Sheryl held Mrs. Fuller Senior’s arm.
“I’m smiling because I finally got my greatest wish.”
Huh?
Sheryl tilted her head and looked at Mrs. Fuller Senior with some puzzlement.
“What great wish did Great-granny have?” she wondered.
When Shane returned to the old mansion, he realized that Charlotte had already settled the matter and she was able to interact with Raina with ease.
When he got there, no one came to greet him. Obviously, they did not treat him as important at all.
Shane half leaned against the kitchen door, intending to see when the four most important women in his life would notice him.
“Daddy!”
The person who noticed Shane first was naturally Sheryl, who loved him the most.
Shane bent over and picked up the little girl. “Sheryl.”
“Daddy, I miss you so much.” Sheryl raised her face and gave him a kiss.
“Yes, I miss you too.”
“Shane, your mother said that she wanted to go to the cinema to watch a movie after the meal. Do you want to come with us?” Charlotte also went over.
Shane nodded his head, but his gaze fell on Raina.
Raina didn’t look at him and continued to help the chef.
“Yes,” he answered.
“If he goes, then we’ll fill one car.” Only then did Raina speak in an indifferent tone.
Charlotte smiled, “Madam Raina, are you starting this again?”
“Now that Shane is back, why are you still calling me Madam Raina? That’s rude. No wonder I didn’t like you before.” Raina placed the glass plate of fruits on the table.
“Then, can I call you Mom?”
“Sure.”
“Okay, Mom.”
Charlotte followed Raina back into the kitchen.
Sheryl tilted her head and looked at Shane. “Daddy, although I don’t know what’s going on, this time, Mommy and auntie are in a good mood.”
“Maybe, you should call auntie Grandma in the future,” Shane said.
“Then, will Daddy really become my father?” Sheryl rolled her eyes.
She was so young.
But she understood so much.
Shane nodded.
“Great, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.” Sheryl cheered.
However, Mrs. Fuller Senior had not come out of the kitchen until now.
Shane realized that this matter was probably not as simple as it seemed.
Soon, dinner was ready and everyone went to the living room to eat.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and the meal was exquisite. During the meal, Sheryl went to watch cartoons alone, and Mrs. Fuller Senior did not follow her.
“Grandma, do you have something to say to me?” Shane put down the spoon and took the initiative to speak.
Mrs. Fuller Senior smiled and shook her head. “Let’s eat first.”
“You can go straight to the point.”
Mrs. Fuller Senior cast a glance at Raina.
Raina’s expression sank, and she tightened her grip on her cutlery.
Charlotte felt that what Mrs. Fuller Senior was saying to Shane had nothing to do with her. It most likely had something to do with the Fuller family.
As she thought about this, she reached out to grab Raina’s hand, her gaze still fixed to the front.
She couldn’t completely forget that she was a person who had hated her, but this person was Shane’s mother.
If she didn’t let go of the past, Shane and Mrs. Fuller Senior would find it hard to deal with. She didn’t want someone who had come late into this family like herself to make them feel sad and uncomfortable.
“I want to talk about Christopher.”
Clatter!
The cutlery in Raina’s hands fell on the table.
Mrs. Fuller Senior glanced at her and snorted coldly. “I came here this time for Christopher too.”
“What’s with him?” Shane frowned.
He didn’t expect that Mrs. Fuller Senior would mention this person to him.
“He is your older brother.”
There was a deadly silence.
Charlotte’s eyes widened as she stared at Mrs. Fuller Senior in disbelief.
She had known about it for a long time, but Christopher had said that he never told anyone else. His mother would definitely not have…
“Older brother?” Shane pondered over this.
His pupils dilated. Obviously, even he himself did not expect Mrs. Fuller Senior to be talking about this.
At that moment, Raina’s body was trembling continuously.
Charlotte hugged her. “Mom, shall we go to wait for them in the car?”
Raina came back to her senses and looked at Charlotte with a complicated expression. After a long while, she finally nodded.
Once Charlotte left with Raina, Mrs. Fuller Senior had fewer hesitations. “This time, your mother and I did not interfere too much in the matter of you giving up your shares because he is your biological older brother, your father’s illegitimate son.”
Shane had wondered before why Christopher hated him.
One reason was Charlotte. After all, he showed great affection for her.
The second reason was the envy and hatred between friends.
Because Shane was more outstanding than Christopher, Christopher hated him.
But he never imagined that Christopher was his biological brother.
No, it wasn’t that he didn’t think of it.
He had investigated this, but the results showed that they had completely different blood types.
