Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte) novel Chapter 384

Zoe knew what he meant, and she understood his point. She nodded and said, "I get it, but I need to think about it carefully."

"Okay." Peter beamed in agreement.

Avery was the first person who heard about the proposal. After all, Peter had never dated anyone before Zoe and he needed advice. Everyone else he knew was either an employer or a mere acquaintance. Avery was the only one who was friendly with him and of similar status.

Avery was amused after hearing Peter's recap. "Never mind the timing of your proposal, but you didn't even get her a ring or flowers? And you proposed casually on the side of the road and didn't treat her to a meal? What were you thinking? Were you born in a barn? You didn't have to go with a slapdash approach just to take advantage of her!"

"I'm not taking advantage of her," Peter said, exasperated. "We were just talking about it, and I felt it was appropriate to mention marriage to her. That's why I came to you for advice. I don't know what she thinks. Did she really mean her rejection, or does she need more time? Or maybe I'm not eligible."

"When Zoe started dating you, she must have thought about marriage. So my advice to you is buy a ring and some flowers. Then find a romantic place for a candlelit dinner and propose to her." Avery said in exasperation, "No matter if it's Zoe or Anne or Charlotte, women like to be wooed. In any case, you shouldn't ask for her hand in marriage unceremoniously by the road. This is the taboo of love."

Love taboo?

Peter really didn't understand this.

How could Avery not tell Charlotte this juicy bit of gossip? After Charlotte learned about it, she definitely had to tell Shane. In the end, both of them demanded to meet with Peter to ask for an explanation.

Peter wanted to cry talking about his relationship problem with his employer. It's not forbidden per se, but why did it feel so strange?

"Just tell me what you need for the wedding." Shane got straight to the point.

"No matter what you want or need, we can arrange it in advance. If you don't want Zoe to know, we will privately prepare it for you." Charlotte smiled.

"Ms. Emerson, Mr. Fuller, I didn't want to disturb you at first, but now I don't know what Zoe is thinking. She hasn't gotten to the point of getting married yet." "Listen to me." Charlotte straightened. "Do you know why so many people get caught up with planning a wedding proposal, but only a small portion want to buy a watermelon and get married on a boring summer day?"

Peter nodded in bewilderment.

Charlotte raised her finger and said, "First of all, it's normal for couples to think about marriage after a few years or a few months together. But as time passes, what should they do when passion tapers off?"

"Search for the excitement again," Peter replied.

"Yes, proposing is one way to show your best to your partner, so she could remember every beautiful moment between both of you, and then feel so moved by all the fanfare that she will agree to step into the tomb of love with you."

"I see." Peter was still a little confused. "Well, you mentioned something about a watermelon and marriage."

"That's different. In that case, to get married is the peak happiness. They experience enough joy and surprises daily, so a marriage is just another normal activity to do on an afternoon."

Peter nodded thoughtfully.

Shane shot an impassive glance at Charlotte and noted, "How do you know so much?"

"I did my research." Well, she read lots of relationship problem posts online.

"Oh yes, you were engaged."

What?

Charlotte instantly felt slapped in the face with jealousy. She grabbed Shane's arm. "I read about it online. There's no engagement, it was called off.

I belong to Mr. Fuller alone."

Charlotte wasn't sure how those cringeworthy words escaped her mouth.
