Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Charlotte composed herself and nodded firmly, "I'm sure. I don't need you to help him."

It was not that she did not need him to help, but that she did not want it. There was a wide gulf spanning between those two words.

To say that she didn't want his help would be like manipulation, subtly pleading for his help. Since she had said she didn't need his help, it actually meant that she would settle the issue herself and it wasn't a direct rejection.

She didn't want to seem pushy or obstinate. The point was that she didn't ask him to help her accomplish her goals.

Shane narrowed his eyes and nodded. He loosened his grip on her fingers and turned to leave the meeting room for her office.

For some reason, Charlotte let out a sigh of relief. She got up and followed him, heading toward the office.

After investigating for so long, they had only found out a bit of what the Stevens family had done. Even if it was dangerous, she would not give up and would find other ways to achieve her purpose. Whether it was Kendall, Ryland or Caleb, as long as they were wrong and the law was right, she would not give up.

Charlotte looked at Shane's back. Her red lips curled up and her smile was tinged with shyness.

This was the courage he gave her. Although she didn't want to rely on him, she firmly believed that even if the sky fell, Shane would be able to hold it up.

That was why she had infinite courage.

When Peter received a call from Charlotte to hurry to the office, he was planning to rent a place for Zoe. He didn't think it was good for her to stay in a hotel, but he heard from Zoe that her parents had many friends. If someone found out that she moved into a new place, her parents would probably come to find her.

As Peter anxiously told Charlotte what had happened, he kept wiping the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. "Ms. Emerson, that's why I might not be able to hurry to the office right now." "Why didn't you take Zoe to your house? Isn't your house very big?" Charlotte was a little confused. She knew that Peter liked Zoe. She thought that this was the best opportunity for Peter to make use of.

"She didn't want to..." Peter's voice trailed off.

"Tell her to live at your house and work from there. Then, she can go back after everything is settled. Won't that work?"

"What?" Peter was stunned.

Charlotte got impatient with Peter. She said, "What important work do you two do at the office every day? When Zoe isn't getting me coffee, she's helping you organize your files. Can't I get my own coffee?" Peter instantly understood that Charlotte wanted to create an opportunity for him and Zoe to interact. However, if it was too obvious, Zoe would dislike him even more.

Peter bowed his head and glanced at Zoe, who was having breakfast. He lowered his voice and said, "If she knows that this is my idea, she will definitely be angry. Ms. Emerson, I don't want Zoe to be angry." "I'll send her a text message later. Go will the flow and things will work out fine."

Charlotte hung up the phone.

Peter was confused.
