Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 314

Peter hugged Zoe tightly. "Really? Are you sure? You said you like me, right?"

"Yes, I like you," Zoe affirmed.

"Zoe, you're my first love. You can't let me down." Peter suddenly looked dejected and pouted. It was obvious he was complaining about her indifference.

Zoe could only pat him on the head like a dog, then touched his face.

After agreeing to date him, Zoe decided to break the news to Charlotte.

Charlotte was busy dealing with matters in the office. Just as she was about to take a break, she saw Zoe's message. The brief words read - "I'm with Peter now."

Charlotte was stunned for a few seconds, then her fingers flew across the screen as she typed a reply, "Then I'll ask the workers to stop the renovation of your house."

"No, I still have to move back. To be honest, he's too clingy."

"Ah, I like the clingy ones," Charlotte typed as she cast a glance to the man beside her.

Shane had set up a desk in her office. Normally, both of them were always together. Most of the time when she was working, he would be at his desk not too far away. However, the two of them didn't talk at all. Even if they spent an entire day together, they didn't exchange a word.

If only Shane were a little bit more clingy.

Charlotte couldn't help but imagine that scene. Her whole body shuddered in response. She couldn't imagine Shane being clingy at all.

"Although Mr. Fuller is not a clingy person, he treats you well," Zoe replied.

"Zoe, sometimes I don't even know the status of our relationship."

Zoe looked at the message sent by Charlotte and was lost in thought. After a while, she typed, "I only know that you are married to each other."

"I divorced a long time ago."

"But your affections for each other still endure."

The conversation came to an end. Charlotte rested her head on her hand and twirled the phone on her other palm. Her attention drifted and the phone slipped before bouncing off the table twice and landed on the carpet.

She pushed the chair back and ran towards her phone.

Before she could bend down to pick it up, a familiar hand shot out and grabbed the phone. He turned the phone and scanned the screen for cracks.

"What's going on?"

"Uh, it slipped from my hand," she explained.

"I meant your text messages with Zoe." He brought the phone nearer to her face.

The screen was cracked, but the messages were still discernible.

Charlotte lowered her head. "As for that, aren't we already divorced?"

"The previous text."

It's none of his business.

And the text was self-explanatory.

Charlotte didn't bother explaining. She lowered her head and remained silent. Shane looked deeply at her, trying his best to control his emotions, but his fingers were trembling. He lifted her chin before kissing her.

In her peripheral vision, he bit down on her lips forcefully.

Blood diffused between their lips.

Shane released her and left the office with her cell phone.

Charlotte gasped for air, her eyes reddened slightly from the pain.

Shane went straight to Avery to get her phone repaired.

Avery thought Charlotte would look for him personally, he didn't expect Shane to show up. He teased, "Charlotte needs a demonstration of love from you even when it comes to repairing a phone?"

"Will you shut up?"

Avery noticed something was wrong, so he gave a few reassuring pats on his shoulder. "Looks like it's a relationship problem. As your friend, I'll tell you how to cajole a woman in exchange for a free meal."
