Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Avery held his phone as Shane's words echoed in his mind.

"Rick, Shane said that letting Charlotte see Kendall is a good thing. Do you understand what he meant?" Avery sent Shane the address and put the phone back into his pants pocket.

"I don't know. Let's talk about it when we see him." Rick also did not understand what Shane meant.

With Shane's personality, he shouldn't think that Kendall and Charlotte had the potential to become friends, so what he said was...

Rick couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it. After all, he knew Shane wouldn't say such a thing. Otherwise, Rick wouldn't have asked permission to bring Kendall.

Soon, Rick's driver parked the car in front of the Japanese restaurant. Avery looked around and saw a black Tesla. He smiled and said, "Look, it's Mr. Fuller's new car. He used millions of dollars to buy a bunch of batteries and scrap metal."

"That's an electric car." Rick shook his head helplessly.

"Isn't renewable energy just a bunch of batteries? In a few years, the money needed to change the batteries can be used to buy a car." Avery continued to tease relentlessly. In his opinion, buying a so-called renewable energy car was stupid.

Rick looked at him disapprovingly and frowned. "Renewable energy can reduce pollution, and degradable batteries are always better than releasing exhaust into the atmosphere."

"I never thought you were a tree-hugger. Whatever. Based on cost efficiency, I will never consider getting this kind of car."

"My brother said the same thing," Kendall said in a low voice.

"I'm going to buy a Tesla then."

Kendall widened her eyes and looked at Avery in disbelief. She huffed, "Hey! You're so mean!"

Avery shrugged his shoulders, looking pleased since he knew Kendall couldn't do anything to him. Kendall really couldn't do anything to him. Even if it was her own brother, he probably couldn't do anything to Avery either. Hence, she decided to remain silent.

She couldn't win her argument anyway.

After the three of them entered the Japanese restaurant, the waiter nodded immediately when he heard Shane's name. He led the way for them with great hospitality.

"I have a hunch that we probably won't be able to finish all the dishes that Mr. Fuller ordered." Avery looked at the enthusiastic waiter and thought back to a long time ago when he had eaten with Charlotte and Shane.
