Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel 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?
