Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 263

Peter's expression remained unchanged. He only frowned slightly and said, "I don't think he's disgusting. He's just a little different. Why are you having such a huge reaction?"

"Isn't it horrifying enough to be different from normal people?" Charlotte asked impatiently.

"I also think I'm different from normal people. If you think about it, Ms. Emerson, if you're a normal person, what about those people in the Airline Union?"

She thought about it following this logic.

Charlotte finally figured it out.

This talk about what was the so-called normal and abnormal, was simply a difference in opinion. She and Zoe thought that Avery was abnormal, but in Peter's eyes, his behavior was just an alternative lifestyle choice.

Just like at the beginning, Charlotte didn't think that Avery was so bad. She respected his choices. It was only after they became friends that she started to judge his choices.

"Do you think that people are especially harsh on those who are close to them?" Charlotte asked Zoe.

"I don't know. The first time I saw him, I already felt uncomfortable," Zoe answered truthfully.

This answer was within Avery's expectations, but when he heard Zoe's honest words, he felt surprised.

Soon.

The car was parked at Block 32 in a small neighborhood.

"It's indeed an ordinary family," Peter said while holding his phone. "Based on River City's property market, the price of a house here is no more than five million dollars at most. Unless they sell the house, they don't even have a million dollars in working capital."

"It's already a lot for an ordinary family," Charlotte said.

"Yes, it's a middle-class family. It's hard to imagine why they didn't have any more children."

Avery remained silent.

He was extremely familiar with this 'home'. He had fantasized countless times about coming here when he was in his thirties or forties to take care of Irena's elderly parents.

He had also considered that if he needed to come here to propose marriage, his car would not be able to fit on the road. So his best solution was to broaden the roads. After all, he had the money and he could do it.

He had thought about these things a lot. Nevertheless, Irena had left him forever, leaving him alone in this world.

Sometimes, he felt that life was really meaningless. Life was full of gains and losses that seemed to be endless. Everything had been set in stone. That was why he was so surprised that Shane was a materialist.

Did he really think that what he could touch would remain forever?

Avery stood on the stairs in a trance.

"Let's go upstairs." Charlotte stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder. "Avery, you'll have to face it eventually."

"It's not that I'm afraid to face it, I just..." His voice was a little hoarse.

He couldn't even say it himself.

Unit 801 - It was a plain number.

However, Avery took every step with great difficulty. The bittersweet memories of the past swept through him in an instant, and the pain made him unable to breathe.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Avery knocked on the door.

The door opened.

Charlotte was startled for a moment. The Chambers looked a little too young. They looked like they were only in their forties, but the wrinkles at the corners of their eyes betrayed them.

"Aren't, aren't you Avery? What are you doing here? Come on in, please. This... this is!"

Mrs. Hart pushed past Avery and walked in front of Zoe. Her eyes were wet in less than two seconds. She held Zoe's hand tightly. "Miss, what's your name?"

"My name is Zoe," Zoe replied.

"Zoe, that's a nice name. What a nice name. A nice name." Mrs. Hart smiled lovingly, and the way she looked at Zoe was very gentle.

On the other hand, Mr. Hart was much calmer as he called for everyone to go inside.

The Chambers residence wasn't that big, Charlotte thought.

According to Peter's estimate, this house was worth a bit more than four million dollars at most, maybe even less. Although River City's property was worth a lot, the house was relatively small.

In River City, even a 40 million dollar house might not be very big, much less one that was only worth four million.

Therefore, one could conclude that this Irena was really from an ordinary family.

Zoe was visiting now to find out her relationship with Irena, so she allowed herself to be interrogated by Irena's parents.
