Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Charlotte hadn't had a good night's sleep. It was already past seven o'clock when she woke up in the morning. She hurriedly brushed her teeth, washed her face, then ran to the kitchen.

She was dumbfounded.

Shane was standing in front of the stove. His movements were elegant and natural as if he was carving a piece of art. He moved the food onto a plate and garnished it with several sauces. Everything was done in one breath. It was as beautiful as a painting.

"Let's eat." He looked up at her. "Do you think you'll be full just by standing there like a fool?"

"You woke up so early." Charlotte walked over and sat down.

"I'll take you to the supermarket to buy some groceries today."

Shane sat next to her, held her chin with his long fingers, and examined her cheeks.

It was indeed less swollen, but the wound was still healing. It might take a while for it to recover.

"Is there no food at home?"

"Yea."

"But today is Wednesday."

"I have a professional CEO."

Alright then.

In the end, Charlotte still went to the supermarket with Shane.

Because they were staying at his house, so most of the things they bought were for him. Charlotte knew Shane's preferences quite well, so she knew what to buy for him.

But when she was selecting seasonings, she hesitated between black pepper and garlic. Generally speaking, these two seasonings were equally delicious, but she didn't know which one Shane would have preferred.

"I don't eat garlic." Shane cast her a sidelong glance.

Charlotte immediately put the garlic seasoning back and placed the black pepper into the cart. She tilted her head and asked, "Why?"

"It's not convenient for business discussions."

That was true.

It would definitely be awkward if there was a stench coming from your mouth.

For the rest of the shopping process, Charlotte tried to choose less pungent seasonings.

It was already close to noon when they finished buying groceries. Charlotte was struggling to carry all the items indoors.

Shane was sitting in the car the whole time as he answered a phone call. He didn't allow her to listen to it, so she had no choice but to do the hard work.

The two of them bought a lot of things. It was extremely exhausting for her to carry everything on her own.

Charlotte was a little worn out, so she simply leaned against the wall next to the corridor to rest. After a while, she heard someone walking into the corridor to press the lift button. "Don't tell anyone for the time being."

Was it Shane?

Charlotte stole a glance at him. At first, she was trying to eavesdrop on him, but Shane had already seen her before he even started to speak.

The muscles all over Charlotte's body instantly stiffened. She stood in the same spot and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Shane narrowed his eyes and said into his phone, "You can go to work first."
