Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Avery got on a few rides with Olive. He received a call from Charlotte saying they had arrived with Sheryl.

It wasn't easy to find each other in the vast sea of people, let alone follow someone. It took them quite a while to find each other. Charlotte froze when she saw the phone and map in Olive's hand. "Are you going to let her go alone?"

"Let Sheryl go along then. She has a phone anyway." Avery looked at Olive and asked, "What do you think?"

"I'm fine. Do you want to play with me?" Olive looked at Sheryl with sparks in her eyes.

Sheryl was in a dilemma. She really wanted to be with her mom and dad but she also knew that they had to discuss business with Uncle Avery. She wouldn't have fun with them, she might even create more trouble for them...

Olive was smart. She immediately said, "Since Sheryl doesn't want to go, it's fine for me to go by myself."

"It's not that I don't want to, I just think..." Sheryl bit her lower lip. "It's not easy for me to spend time with my mom and dad now. I know they're very busy but I still want to stay with them for a while longer." Charlotte suddenly felt guilty. She just wanted to bring Olive and Sheryl out to play. The first reason was so they could have fun and the second was to avoid any attention from the Stevens family. However, she never thought of it from the child's point of view.

Charlotte knelt down and pulled Sheryl into her arms. She said in a soft voice, "After today, let's go have a vacation in the city next door, okay? Your great-grandma also said she wanted to go on a holiday." "Really?" Sheryl looked at her hopefully. "You can't break your promise. Also, can Olive come with us?"

Olive knew of Charlotte and Shane's fake fallout with Avery. She also knew it was one of the reasons they met at this amusement park. Avery had told her everything but he didn't care if she understood it or not. She didn't know she should thank him or resent him for not caring about whether her brain could process this information.

But no matter what, she could not go on a trip with Sheryl.

Olive said, "Well, I won't go on the trip. We can have fun today. You can follow me or you can stick with your parents. You can't have both. Besides, travelling would delay my studies. I don't have the time." Sheryl felt upset all of a sudden. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Olive's clothes. "We had such a good time last time. Don't you want to go out with me?"

"Let's go play first and leave the adults alone. We can slowly talk then."

"Hmm? Alright."

Olive was about to leave with Sheryl, Shane quickly stopped them. He passed Sheryl's phone to her and put 300 dollars in her bag. Sheryl sweetly said, "Thank you, daddy!" "Go ahead."

"All right."
