Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 301

Charlotte's hand tilted to one side and the plate of seasoning almost spilled onto her shoes. Of course, she didn't help Peter because he was Peter. There were so many people in this world, why did she have to help him?

But it wasn't exactly because he was one of Shane's men either. The reason was the same. There were so many people around Shane, she could've helped Braden or Cole. Why did it have to be Peter?

"It's both. It's because he's your man, and he's Peter." Charlotte gave an ambiguous but appropriate answer.

Shane was rather satisfied with this answer. He always admired this trait in Charlotte. She wouldn't fawn over him because of his one word. Although, she was quite good at flattering him up at times.

Charlotte put coriander, garlic and spice on the plate. But it tasted a little bland so she added some soy and beef sauce. Finally, she put in a little vinegar and oyster sauce. It tasted a lot better than before.

She glanced at Shane's plate beside her.

Shane seemed to have only taken a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce. He didn't even bother to add other seasonings.

"Take some scallions," Charlotte whispered in his ear.

Shane glanced at her, then at the plate in his hands. He followed her advice and added some scallions and coriander into his plate. He didn't like the taste of scallions at all.

On the way back, they happened to run into Peter. He had already calmed down and was chatting with Zoe.

The four of them met but neither of them said anything but looked at each other knowingly.

After brushing past them, Charlotte sighed, "It would be great if Avery was here."

Shane's eyes darkened at the mention of Avery. It was as if there was a murderous vibe coming from him and the surroundings turned quiet in an instant.

Charlotte turned her head as she sensed something was wrong. She noticed his eyebrows were deeply furrowed. His grip on his plate was so tight, his veins were bulging.

"Did something else happen with Avery?" she asked.

"Yes."

"Was it the Steven Family or Rick?" "Neither of them."

"Don't tell me..."

Shane didn't continue but Charlotte could guess from his expression that the Hart Family must've done something to Avery. She clenched her fist tightly and swallowed back her anger. Then, she took a deep breath and calmed down.

Back to the table, Charlotte put down the plate on the table and said in a trembling voice, "Even an animal would not eat their child."

"He's quite different from Rick."

"Anyone would envy how the Jane family brought up Rick," Charlotte added.

"The most crucial thing is Mielle. She even sacrificed herself for him."

Although it was cruel to say, it was a fact.

If Mielle did not exist or if she did not stand by Rick, his life would be in so much more danger.

At this time, Zoe and Peter returned. Both of them were talking excitedly about something.

Charlotte placed the meat into the hot pot in a daze.

"Ms. Emerson must like to eat meat very much," Peter commented.

"Not only meat," Shane added.

Charlotte snorted and ignored them. As soon as the meat was cooked, she quickly dived into the delicious bacon strips.

Zoe also picked up her chopsticks and said, "Let's eat or Charlotte will finish everything later."

"Okay!" Peter chimed in.

Shane didn't eat much. He stopped after taking a few bites. Most of the time, he only ate food that was given by Charlotte.

The meal was over.

Charlotte had to organise the matter with the animals so she had no time to no time to visit other places. Initially, she wanted to let Zoe and Peter go have fun but Peter and Shane wanted to see the animals with her. Now her plan to give Zoe a holiday was also ruined.

While Zoe went to the bathroom, Charlotte approached Peter and asked, "Hey, do you want me to create an opportunity for you? What kind of animal do you want to see?"

"Zoe likes pandas. I want to see what a living panda looks like and learn from it."

Charlotte was speechless. She leaned towards Shane and asked, "Mr. Fuller, why do you want to see the animals?”

"To keep you company."

Huh?

Charlotte didn't expect him to say that. She lowered her head and fidgeted with her phone.

After Zoe came back from the toilet, everyone returned to their rooms. Peter rented a car before he came so it was quite convenient.

The workers were very happy to see Zoe and Charlotte return but they were slightly uneasy to see two strangers behind them. They weren't as casual as before either.

Charlotte felt a little helpless by their reactions. After all, they also acted the same way when she first met them.

"Don't you want to say hello to them?" Charlotte asked Peter and Shane.

"No need." Shane refused.

Peter also shook his head.

Charlotte had no choice but to take Zoe to work and put aside the workers' morale issue.

As time went by, the workers had probably guessed their relationship with Shane and Peter so they were also much more relaxed than earlier.

However, the little girl ran over Shane's side and handed him an orange then said, "The uncles said that you are Ms. Emerson's boyfriend."

"Mmhm." Shane didn't attempt to take the oranges.

"Ms. Emerson said these were delicious."

Shane reached out and took it. The little girl smiled at him and ran back to the workers happily.

Peter, who had been working on the computer looked up and said, "That little girl is very special."

"Why?"

"Don't you know? From grandmas to little girls, they would all fall heads over heels for you at first sight." Peter laughed.

Although this was slightly embarrassing, Shane's features were out of this world.

Shane thought back on the expression on the little girl's face.

"Think about it, so many women can't resist your looks, let alone a little girl. But she was calm and mature. She's not as simple as she looks."

"Charlotte was right in choosing to work with them."

"Yeah."

Peter continued to focus on tracking Curtis.

However, that little girl looked a little dirty. Logically speaking, such a smart girl should come from a rich and noble family. How did she end up with these workers?

It's not that he looked down on these workers. He just felt that they wouldn't be able to raise such children.

A child who had such confidence.

Soon, Charlotte and Zoe finished their work and met up with Shane and Peter.

Now they had to leave in separate cars. One would transport the Pandas, the other would transport the rest of the animals.

When they were discussing, Peter suggested, "The both of you follow the car with the panda."

"Why do I have to go with Zoe? I want to be with Shane," Charlotte said as she stood over to Shane's side.

Of course, she wasn't a clingy person. She just wanted to create some alone time for Peter and Zoe.

However, Peter was so dense. Each time she tried to set them up, Peter would ruin his own chances.

Peter scratched her eyebrows and explained, "The car that carries the panda is the safest. Besides, you see Mr. Fuller every day. You'll be fine without him for a while."

"You can go with..."

Before Charlotte could finish, Shane interrupted her, "You should follow Zoe."

"Okay, I can take the same car as Zoe. But you'd have to give me an irrefutable reason."

Charlotte could tell that Peter and Shane had made up their minds.

But she didn't understand.

Why couldn't she be in the same car as Shane?

From how they were acting, it seemed that she could be in the same car with Peter as long as she's not with Shane.
