Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Peter hugged Zoe tightly. "Really? Are you sure? You said you like me, right?"

"Yes, I like you," Zoe affirmed.

"Zoe, you're my first love. You can't let me down." Peter suddenly looked dejected and pouted. It was obvious he was complaining about her indifference.

Zoe could only pat him on the head like a dog, then touched his face.

After agreeing to date him, Zoe decided to break the news to Charlotte.

Charlotte was busy dealing with matters in the office. Just as she was about to take a break, she saw Zoe's message. The brief words read - "I'm with Peter now."

Charlotte was stunned for a few seconds, then her fingers flew across the screen as she typed a reply, "Then I'll ask the workers to stop the renovation of your house."

"No, I still have to move back. To be honest, he's too clingy."

"Ah, I like the clingy ones," Charlotte typed as she cast a glance to the man beside her.

Shane had set up a desk in her office. Normally, both of them were always together. Most of the time when she was working, he would be at his desk not too far away. However, the two of them didn't talk at all. Even if they spent an entire day together, they didn't exchange a word.

If only Shane were a little bit more clingy.

Charlotte couldn't help but imagine that scene. Her whole body shuddered in response. She couldn't imagine Shane being clingy at all.

"Although Mr. Fuller is not a clingy person, he treats you well," Zoe replied.

"Zoe, sometimes I don't even know the status of our relationship."

Zoe looked at the message sent by Charlotte and was lost in thought. After a while, she typed, "I only know that you are married to each other."

"I divorced a long time ago."

"But your affections for each other still endure."

The conversation came to an end. Charlotte rested her head on her hand and twirled the phone on her other palm. Her attention drifted and the phone slipped before bouncing off the table twice and landed on the carpet.
