Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"Stop the nonsense." Rick came to his senses and looked at Avery, "Even if I'm willing, are you willing to tarnish your woman's image?"

"What's the big deal? She's dead anyway." Avery lit a cigarette and stretched his hand out the window to flick the ash. "Don't you want to repulse our families? It's one thing to put on a show, but if we were to get married in private..."

"I'm fine with anything," Rick said with a smile.

"You are really meek. It's boring."

"We are both sheep in wolf clothing."

Avery was stunned. He threw the cigarette away and gave Rick a look through the rearview mirror. He enunciated, "I like it."

Rick wore a gentle smile on his face. He looked sincere and handsome, his expression showed hints of resignation.

Soon.

Avery's car stopped in front of Fuller Residence. It was his first time here. He looked at the English-style dome and complimented, "It's beautiful. It's really beautiful. So rich, so very rich. What do you think, Rick?"

"I can't afford it," Rick replied concisely.

Avery laughed, "Come on, let's take a look inside." Avery led Rick through the small garden, and it took them ten minutes to walk from the parking spot to the main entrance.

An ordinary person's front yard was only so big, but the garden was large enough as it was without including the porch. One could easily imagine the floor space and total value of this property. Avery mused while shaking his head, 'I could never afford a property in his own territory, let alone this mansion in River City.'

Honestly, it was a bit exaggerated to say he couldn't afford it. After all, he owned a big company assuming he could afford a mansion under the premise of cash flow.

"I suddenly thought of a joke," Rick said.

"Hmm?" Avery was curious.

What would Rick's joke look like?
