Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 225

Christopher smiled, "I'm sure you'll have a solution, won't you?"

"Mr. Gibson, what I meant was that I don't need to be your spy anymore. We have nothing to do with each other now," Zoe responded formally.

"You don't like me anymore?" He chuckled. "Your adoration is so fragile."

"It's not that I don't like you anymore, but that I like you even more now. The more I like you, the more I can't bear to see you put yourself in danger."

"You're such a sweet talker, but unfortunately, you know that I don't buy that. Never contact me again or get the information that you want. You have to choose one."

Christopher wasn't in a hurry to hang up the phone. He didn't believe that Zoe would go against his will.

He could tell her feelings for him just by looking at her eyes.

Zoe fell silent. She clenched her fist for a moment and finally sighed. I'm sorry. I won't betray Lottie. Even if I like you, I'm merely a pawn to you and Mr. Fuller. But Lottie... No, Ms. Emerson needs me."

Of course, Christopher knew that Charlotte was a person with exceptional charisma.

"Actually, I was starting to like you." His voice was as gentle as ever.

If it was in the past, Zoe would have been moved when she heard this. She would have helped him to get the information that he wanted after several hesitations.

But now...

She endured her sorrow and gulped. "Mr. Gibson, I've helped you for nearly three months. Don't say that you like me when you didn't even give me a gift during that period of time. You're just telling me that you like me now when I'm leaving and no longer helping you anymore. It seems like your admiration is more fragile than mine."

"So, I don't want you to look into this case anymore. Zoe, change to another one."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want to know what Shane is doing. Instead, I want to know everything about Wyatt Fuller. If I remember correctly, Shane allowed you to maintain a close relationship with him, right?"

"But Wyatt is clearly on your side, and your shares were given by him as well. Without him, you wouldn't be able to carry out your plans at all."

Christopher's slender fingers were drawing circles on the table. He relaxed his eyebrows and beamed with delight. "Well, that's why I asked you to keep an eye on him. This is enough to prove that my feelings for you are real."

Zoe's hand tightened around her phone. "Mr. Gibson..."

"I cherished the days when we worked together. You are the only one who knows me best."

Toot, toot, toot—

Christopher ended the call.

She knew him best.

It was true.

She understood his disguise, understood his parents, understood his dreams, his future, and what he wanted to do.

Suddenly, Zoe's mind went blank. She didn't know whether she should approach Wyatt or not. If this was a trap created by Christopher, Wyatt would very likely to...

She felt relieved and smiled at the thought of this.

If Christopher really was this kind of person, wouldn't it be even better?

After she gave up, she wouldn't need to make a choice anymore.

He obviously knew that she loved him but still did that kind of thing to her. Wouldn't it just give her a reason to give up on him?

Zoe immediately made up her mind.

Regarding Zoe's leave, Charlotte didn't say much about it. She knew that Zoe was only here to help her. Besides, the company was doing very well recently. Zoe's presence wouldn't make a great difference. It would just be a little more tiring for her.

Shane's subsidiary company appeared out of nowhere and disrupted the whole industry. It was actually not a bad thing for Charlotte. She received a lot of orders instead.

It was rare for a new company to profit during their first month, especially in this industry, because it required a big amount of advance expenses.

However, Charlotte was making a profit.

She looked at the numbers on the paper with a bitter smile.

Was it because of Shane?

"Ms. Emerson, Miss Stevens is looking for you." The secretary knocked on the door.

"Miss Stevens? Kendall?" she questioned.

"I don't know. She said her surname is Stevens, and she wanted to see you because of Mr. Jane."

It was definitely Kendall.

Charlotte nodded at the secretary. "You can go and rest now. I'll be right there."

"Yes."

Charlotte went to the reception room.

Kendall sat on the sofa, looking elegant even though she was wearing heavy makeup. She looked like a child who intentionally attempted to look mature.

However, Charlotte was in no place to judge her makeup and couldn't say much about it either.

Charlotte just asked, "Why did you come here this time?"

"Rick is devastated. I hope you can show some compassion." Kendall directly concluded, "I can give you anything."

"What does his devastation have to do with me?"

Charlotte was deeply hurt. But on the outside, she could only show that she didn't care.

She had to let it go.

It was not easy for Rick to stop loving her and be able to pursue his happiness. So why did she have to try to reverse everything just because she was touched for a second?

She didn't want to compromise, and she didn't want him to compromise either. True love was as bland as water but sweet enough to reach the bottom of her heart.
