My Mysterious Hidden Husband

CHAPTER 446: CHAPTER 446: I’M GOING TO BE A MOM SOON
Shannon Quinn communicated with Charlotte Sheffield on her phone about some preferences she had for the bridal gown, and then she began working on the design.
He was actually quite curious about what kind of girl Charlotte Sheffield was, capable of making Ronan Rhodes, that playboy, settle down.
After spending three days drawing the sketches, she showed them to Charlotte Sheffield, made some small modifications, and then Shannon Quinn began to sew it by hand.
Ronan Rhodes had also been busy these past few days with wedding preparations, using Skylar Vance’s company to plan the wedding. Even though they had a team, many details still required their personal oversight.
Landon Sutton was merciful lately, not making Ronan work overtime for several consecutive days, and taking leaves became easier than before.
The Rhodes brothers didn’t have many family or relatives, and Charlotte didn’t want to invite her family, saying everything should be kept simple.
So, the invitations were only sent to some of Ronan’s friends and brothers.
The wedding was set for the 8th, and on the 6th, Shannon Quinn’s gown was only entering its final stages, and it was arranged for Ronan to bring Charlotte over for a fitting that afternoon.
Coincidentally, Jasper Sutton came that day too.
Shannon Quinn initially thought, as Charlotte’s brother, he should know about her wedding.
But seeing his surprised reaction on site, it seemed he was unaware.
Charlotte stood in front of the mirror wearing the bridal gown, initially smiling, but when she saw Jasper in the mirror, her whole demeanor froze.
Shannon Quinn stepped up and smilingly asked Jasper Sutton, "Mr. Sutton, why are you here?"
Jasper Sutton finally moved his gaze from Charlotte and, with a faint smile on his lips, replied to Shannon Quinn, "I came to find Aidan."
Shannon Quinn: "Mr. Lockwood went to school to teach, he probably won’t be back until after four, what do you need him for? If you’d like, you can tell me, and I’ll pass on the message."
Jasper Sutton: "No worries, I’m not in a rush, I can wait for him to return."
As his gaze once again fell on Charlotte, Shannon Quinn sensed a subtle atmosphere between the siblings, neither actively greeting the other.
"Congratulations, Mr. Sutton."
Jasper Sutton snapped out of it, glanced at Shannon Quinn, with a somewhat forced smile, seeming somewhat absent-minded.
Originally thinking he would be glad about his sister getting married as her brother, yet now it appeared he didn’t seem to want Charlotte to marry.
"Brother, you’re here too?" A newly suited up Ronan Rhodes emerged from the fitting room in a white suit, warmly greeting when he saw Jasper, assuming Charlotte had invited him.
Jasper Sutton simply smiled, standing aside without a word.
Ronan’s eyes immediately fell on Charlotte, unable to stop praising, "Charlotte, you look absolutely stunning, you must be the most beautiful bride in the world."
Charlotte smiled back and said, "It’s because Shannon’s design for the bridal gown is beautiful."
Ronan began to flatter, "Of course, the sister-in-law’s design is impeccable, but you bring out the essence of her design to the fullest."
Shannon Quinn joked, "Ronan, we still need sales personnel in our store, looks like you’re very suitable."
Ronan chuckled, "I’m so in demand, unfortunately, Master Nate can’t do without me, otherwise I’d definitely come work with you, sister-in-law."
"Stop kidding around, the wedding’s just the day after tomorrow, are you well-prepared?"
Ronan: "It’s my first time getting married, lacks experience. If you’re free, could you come with us later to the venue to help evaluate?"
"Sure, I’ll have someone package the outfit for you to be sent over, leave an address at the reception later."
"Great, no problem." Saying so, Ronan pulled out his phone from his jacket pocket on the couch, wrapping an arm around Charlotte, saying, "I’ll take a few selfies first."
Shannon Quinn smiled, going over to help tidy Charlotte’s hair.
No one noticed Jasper Sutton’s departure.
After a brief interaction, Shannon Quinn realized Charlotte is really special, giving a very pleasant feeling, sweet, gentle, and quite humorous at times, especially when bickering with Ronan.
The playful exchanges almost made Shannon forget what a scoundrel Ronan used to be.
After trying on the bridal gown, Shannon Quinn went with them to the wedding venue.
On the way, Charlotte received a text message.
The sender was an unmarked number, but she knew exactly who it belonged to.
The message was unsettling.
A brief sentence: Cancel the wedding, don’t force me to act.
After reading it, Charlotte immediately deleted the message, refusing to reply.
However, her demeanor turned unusually anxious.
"What’s wrong, Charlotte? Are you not feeling well again?"
Charlotte smiled and shook her head, "Nothing, just a bit carsick."
Ronan slightly rolled down her window, "Hang in there, we’re almost there."
Skylar Vance was also at the venue.
Ever since Simon Rhodes fetched her back, their relationship slowly returned to course, though there hadn’t been any news of marriage yet.
Maybe they were waiting for the previous turbulence to fully subside before considering marriage.
Ronan led Charlotte to tour the wedding venue, while Shannon Quinn sought out Skylar Vance.
"Shannon, what brings you here too?"
"Just had nothing in the afternoon, figured you’d be around, just tagging along to see and chat with you."
"It’s been ages since we last went out."
"Rona has someone in her belly, her husband’s strict, often complaining to me about it."
Skylar suddenly gave a shy smile and said, "This may be the last wedding planning I take on."
Hearing this, Shannon Quinn hurriedly asked, "Why? Thinking of changing careers?"
Skylar smiled and shook her head, "I’m going to be a mom soon."
"Really? Such big news, how come you just told me now?"
"Just found out yesterday, I haven’t even told Simon yet. If he knew, he’d probably fuss over me, so I plan to finish this job first before telling him."
Shannon Quinn sighed, "Men sometimes make a big deal out of everything, thinking pregnancy turns us into fragile dolls, everything becomes prohibited."
"Yes, and imagining ten months of being cooped up at home, it’s hard to bear."
"Rona even started doing cross-stitching, with her rough-and-tumble nature resorting to such delicate work, it’s clear how bored she must be."
Skylar said, "I was thinking, maybe we can see a new house, our families living nearby, so we can chat anytime."
Shannon Quinn, considering she won’t escape Sutton’s control when pregnant, immediately agreed with Skylar’s suggestion, "Great, I’ll ask Mr. Sutton about it, living close by means our kids will have playmates too."
