Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 299

Before Peter could open the door, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent. He opened the door, the woman walked in blatantly. In a blink of an eye, she had already put her luggage on the sofa.

All of his anxiety and anger melted away in an instant.

He smiled flatteringly as he walked to her side and asked, "Zoe, did you come alone? You didn't tell me you were coming?"

"I was going to find Lottie but Shane answered her phone. I had no choice but to find you. It's peak season now, the front desk informed me there were no available rooms so I have to wait until eleven o'clock." Zoe was so tired she laid on the sofa.

"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat?" He crouched down beside her and started to massage her legs.

"I'm sure you didn't eat it yourself."

"I was working. Now that I'm free, I have time to eat. What do you want? I'll order it for you."

Zoe shook her head. "Anything is fine. Just get me the same as yours."

"Alright."

Peter quickly ordered the food. But he was worried the food would take at least 30 minutes to arrive and Zoe couldn't wait that long. So he simply went down to buy some food.

He never expected he would meet Shane at the supermarket.

"Mr. Fuller." Peter was very surprised.

"Yes." The man replied indifferently.

Peter stared at the shelf before him which displayed all kinds of... condoms?

Peter was still an innocent guy who had no experience in this area. His face instantly turned red and he asked, "Mr. Fuller, are you going to be busy with Ms. Emerson all night?"

Shane gazed at him thoughtfully. "Are you buying one too?"

"Forget it, I'll just forget it...” Peter quickly waved his hand.

If Zoe knew, she would definitely think that he was a pervert.

Shane raised his eyebrows and continued to choose one.

Peter walked around the supermarket and returned to where he met Shane, he had finished picking one. Shane was about to pay the bill when

Peter stepped forwards and said, "Let me pay, Mr. Fuller. It's quite awkward for you."

Shane's expression didn't change but he looked at Peter weirdly.

It was already late at night and he didn't buy anything else other than that...

Shane wanted to say "no" but realised he forgot to bring his wallet when he put his hands in his pockets.

"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Shane handed the small box to Peter.

Peter headed over to the cashier.

When he paid, the cashier even eyed him up and down then suggested if he wanted to buy some toys. Peter shook his head and hurriedly put the box in his pockets. Then he rushed out to wait for Shane at the exit.

Soon, Shane came out of the store. Peter passed him the two small boxes and whispered, "Mr. Fuller, do you still need to use protection with Ms. Emerson? Don't you want to give Sheryl a younger brother or sister?"

Peter had never seen Sheryl before but Zoe adored Sheryl so he always had a good impression of her.

A child at this age would hope their parents would spend more time with them. After getting most of their love, they would want a younger sibling.

"The timing is not right."

Peter nodded. That was also true. Mr. Fuller and Ms. Emerson weren't officially married yet. Shane only released news about their marriage.

After saying goodbye to Shane, Peter returned to the room.

As he was going through the things he bought, Peter noticed there was another box in the bag.

"What is this?"

At that moment, Zoe walked over.

Peter tried to hide the box but Zoe grabbed the box first. She read the label carefully, "Pr..."

"It's pepper flavoured bubble gum." Peter quickly took the box away and stuffed it in his pockets.

"Huh? Is there a 0.1mm sized bubble gum?" Zoe asked puzzledly. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"Yes, there is." Beads of sweat streaked down Peter's forehead.

He didn't know what Zoe would think of him if she knew he bought this sort of thing.

Zoe reached out and said, "Give me one."

"Didn't you say you can't eat spicy food? This bubblegum should be quite hot? Stop messing around and eat." Peter pushed her towards the plastic bag.

She really can't handle spicy food.

Zoe shrugged her shoulders and let the matter slide. She had never heard of pepper flavoured bubblegum.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon of the next day.

Charlotte couldn't get up in the morning. She was immediately pinned down by Shane the moment she woke up. She couldn't really explain what happened yesterday night. It was as if a flame had been ignited between them.

As for the status of their relationship...

She was too embarrassed to ask.

However, she did notice Shane was a little more 'enthusiastic' towards her.

He had never helped her get her shoes or clothes before. Charlotte felt more and more uneasy to be alone with him these days so she suggested having lunch with Zoe and Peter.

Shane didn't notice anything unusual about her behaviour but he did seem to be missing one of the boxes he bought yesterday. Now that he thought about it...

It probably was with Peter.

"Okay." Shane took out his phone and called Peter.

"Mr. Fuller." His voice was very hoarse.

"Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

"Well, I did sleep well. I'll tell you about it in a minute." Peter hung up the phone with that.

Shane put down the phone and stared at the dark screen but there was a slight curve on his lips.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Charlotte opened the door slightly. She could see through the cracks that Peter was sweating profusely with his hands on his hips. His body was bent as he puffed out of breath.

"Uh, are you alright?" Charlotte opened the door completely and poured him a glass of water.

Peter took the water and drank it all in one gulp. He took out the 'pepper flavoured bubblegum' from his pocket and tossed it onto the sofa Shane was sitting on.

Shane stretched his legs and leaned to one side lazily to pick up the box. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You didn't use it?"

"I'll tell you a story." Peter gritted his teeth.

He told the entire story from the beginning.

At first, Charlotte felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was Shane who bought it for them. But by the end of the story, she couldn't care less about being embarrassed, she burst out with laughter to the point she was in stitches.

Shane didn't laugh. He handed the small box to Peter and said, "Take your bubblegum to the restaurant."

"Mr. Fuller, I beg you. Please take this bubblegum back. I really... If Zoe sees it, she will definitely think that I am a pervert."

"She won't. Maybe she'll think that Durex also had a line of bubblegum," Charlotte raised her head and said. Then she threw her head down and started laughing out loud again.

Peter felt so helpless.

Shane took the box and put it on the table. "You're too careless."

"I know. I want to change too. I've been with you for so many years, this is not the first time," Peter defended himself in a small voice.

This was indeed not the first time.

He even took the wrong passport once. Shane was unable to board the plane and he was stranded at an airport abroad for three days.

"I'll give you a chance to make it up yourself. Pick a good restaurant. If you fail, I will ask Charlotte to tell Zoe this joke," Shane said coldly.

Peter didn't dare to wait another second. He immediately pushed open the door and ran out without another word.

By that time, Charlotte had finished laughing. She turned over and laid on her back as she rubbed her stomach. "Peter is usually quite reliable in his work. I didn't expect him to make such a slip-up."

"His dependability is intermittent."

Shane's words hit the nail on the head.

Peter chose a hotpot chain restaurant.

Of course, the taste should be quite good. There's no need to worry about the freshness of food either because it's a chain restaurant.

He did complete his task very quick-wittedly.

However, as soon as the four people were seated, Charlotte leaned towards Zoe and asked, "Zoe, do you want to hear a joke?"
