Charlotte's hand tilted to one side and the plate of seasoning almost spilled onto her shoes. Of course, she didn't help Peter because he was Peter. There were so many people in this world, why did she have to help him?

But it wasn't exactly because he was one of Shane's men either. The reason was the same. There were so many people around Shane, she could've helped Braden or Cole. Why did it have to be Peter? "It's both. It's because he's your man, and he's Peter." Charlotte gave an ambiguous but appropriate answer.

Shane was rather satisfied with this answer. He always admired this trait in Charlotte. She wouldn't fawn over him because of his one word. Although, she was quite good at flattering him up at times. Charlotte put coriander, garlic and spice on the plate. But it tasted a little bland so she added some soy and beef sauce. Finally, she put in a little vinegar and oyster sauce. It tasted a lot better than before. She glanced at Shane's plate beside her.

Shane seemed to have only taken a mixture of vinegar and soy sauce. He didn't even bother to add other seasonings.

"Take some scallions," Charlotte whispered in his ear.

Shane glanced at her, then at the plate in his hands. He followed her advice and added some scallions and coriander into his plate. He didn't like the taste of scallions at all.

On the way back, they happened to run into Peter. He had already calmed down and was chatting with Zoe.

The four of them met but neither of them said anything but looked at each other knowingly.

After brushing past them, Charlotte sighed, "It would be great if Avery was here."

Shane's eyes darkened at the mention of Avery. It was as if there was a murderous vibe coming from him and the surroundings turned quiet in an instant.

Charlotte turned her head as she sensed something was wrong. She noticed his eyebrows were deeply furrowed. His grip on his plate was so tight, his veins were bulging.

"Did something else happen with Avery?" she asked.

"Yes."

"Was it the Steven Family or Rick?" "Neither of them."

"Don't tell me..."

Shane didn't continue but Charlotte could guess from his expression that the Hart Family must've done something to Avery. She clenched her fist tightly and swallowed back her anger. Then, she took a deep breath and calmed down.

Back to the table, Charlotte put down the plate on the table and said in a trembling voice, "Even an animal would not eat their child."

"He's quite different from Rick."

"Anyone would envy how the Jane family brought up Rick," Charlotte added.
