Chapter 1590

Charlie blushed deeply and buried his face again, making Jamie chuckle. She couldn't resist teasing him further.

"As a reward for being such a good boy, how about we cook dinner at home tonight? I'll make something special," Jamie said cheerfully.

Ben turned his gaze to Jamie, his deep, enigmatic eyes sparkling with subtle amusement as he raised an eyebrow. "That depends on your mom."

Two pairs of eyes, eerily similar in their expressions, turned to Jamie simultaneously. Their uncanny resemblance made it almost impossible to refuse.

Jamie sighed in defeat. "Alright, come along then. We can stop by the market and pick up some groceries. The more, the merrier."

The market wasn't far from their place. Jamie carried Charlie out of the car, and as they shopped, Charlie's charm was on full display.

With his sweet words and knack for making people smile, the vendors couldn't get enough of him. Every time Jamie bought something, they would throw in a little extra for free. "He's like a secret weapon for the market," Jamie muttered to herself, amused at how effective Charlie was at winning people over.
