Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 275

Zoe nodded, holding her chopsticks tightly but without any intention of eating. Her state of mind was already very bad. Although Charlotte's words gave her some hope, at the same time, they also added some invisible pressure.

"According to the market price, you and Peter's average salaries should be 30,000 dollars per month, but according to Shane and Charlotte's rates, it should be about 50,000, right?" Avery put down his chopsticks and looked at the two people in front of him with a faint smile.

"I'll do it." Peter immediately understood what Avery meant.

Zoe was confused. "Wait, Mr. Hart, what you said is true, but what does it have to do with Peter?"

"If he says he'll do it, then I have to ask. What do you think of this matter, Ms. Emerson?" Avery turned towards Charlotte beside him.

His idea was actually very simple. Since Shane and Charlotte had given the two of them this money, then it would be easy to take the future money away. The money collected would be used to buy Zoe's house. It would be like killing two birds with one stone.

In this way, Zoe and Peter both paid the price. At the same time, it made it impossible for them to leave Shane and Charlotte. Secondly, it did not affect Zoe and Peter's standard of living, but they would still get the house.

"I have no problem with that." Charlotte was worried about Peter. After all, Peter was the one who would lose the most in this matter.

"I have no problem with that either," Peter said.

He didn't lack money or property. His family had already arranged these things for him. The reason why he followed Shane was that he was the top businessman in this field. It would give his experience a boost if he worked with Shane. What's more, he had at least a million dollars in his bank account, so it was not a big deal to him.

Even if he was asked to give all his wages to Zoe, he had no objection against it.

"If that's the case, then this matter is settled."

Zoe still did not realize what had happened. It was not until they finished dinner and Peter sent her home and she saw a crowd there that she came back to her senses.

"Peter, I'm sorry. I might not be able to get into my house now. I forgot to tell you..." She said with regret.

"Then do you want to stay at my house? I can't leave you to go to a hotel yourself." Peter leaned over the steering wheel and smiled at her. "You can stay at my house and I'll stay at a hotel. That would be safer."

"You don't have to go to so much trouble. I have a suite..."

"Zoe, don't you get it? I like you. Unless you don't want my help, then I can't try to impress you. Since you have asked for my help, you should know that I will be worried about you." Peter was very sincere and serious.

Zoe lowered her head and felt a little uneasy.

Things had happened so suddenly. No matter how strong she was, her feelings were still in a mess at the moment. She could not tell if Peter was being sincere.

"If you think it's too much, my house is very big, anyway. We might not bump into each other at all.

I can just hide in my room and not come out." Peter reached out his hand and held her hand gently.

His grip was very strong. Although his hand looked white and slender, it still covered her hand easily.

Zoe looked at his hand in a daze. The hand was very beautiful, just like Peter himself. It was very attractive.

"I have been bothering you with a lot of things. Now I even have to bum out in your house..." Zoe still wanted to refuse.

"I heard Ms. Emerson mention the chairman of the Jane Corporation before. His name is Rick. He's gentle and kind, just like me, but he's quite ruthless. He knows that Ms. Emerson can't leave him, so he keeps letting Ms. Emerson bother him so that he can keep Ms. Emerson by his side."

"Did Ms. Emerson tell you this?" Zoe frowned.

Charlotte was not the kind of person who gossiped. Not to mention that the person in question was Rick.

"No, I came to this conclusion myself. You said that Rick is very smart. Wouldn't he realize that all of his efforts would look very embarrassing to Charlotte?" Peter asked her with a smile.

"You're right."

"So I knew you would refuse, but I still put forward it to you to make you feel guilty about your feelings for me. But I don't want to do that. I think you like me, and really like me, not just because I am good to you." Peter let go of her hand. "Where is your suite? I will send you there."

Zoe breathed a sigh of relief and told him the address.

Peter turned the car around and headed in the direction of the address Zoe gave.
