Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Avery came to his senses and looked at Braden. He frowned and said, "Your explanation was so complicated it's good enough that I'm still sitting here. Do you expect me to listen to you word by word? How could you be so shameless?"

"You! I'm so pissed. You've really pissed me off. Alright, I'll tell you straight what happened. Now we want to work with the Stevens Family, do you want to do it or not?"

Avery put down his mobile phone and began to think about this issue more seriously. Even though he had been sending messages to Olive the whole time, he was also listening. Braden wasn't speaking nonsense, in fact, Braden had explained his plan quite well through the whole conversation. It was all up to him whether they were going to work with them or not. To be honest, he prefers not to. After all, if anything goes wrong...

Finally, Avery sighed, "Okay."

He had thousands of reasons not to work with them. He thought it was safest not to do so. Working with them felt like walking on a tightrope. However, he would rather take the first step to attack than wait for the opportunity to come.

Avery had already found an excuse for himself. He thought, "They were too ruthless towards Zoe so it was necessary to move forward with our plans. This is the only way for us to protect everyone." "It's good that you can convince yourself." Charlotte understood Avery.

Avery looked at her gratefully. His lips curled up as he said, "Thank you for going through this crazy ordeal with me. You wouldn't have gone against the Stevens family if it weren't for me and Braden wouldn't have been kidnapped. It's all because of me and yet you guys still helped me. I really don't know..."

Some people get along fine when there are no troubles. They wouldn't thank each other or quarrel. But when something happened and they expressed their gratitude or quarrel, they would be able to warm his heart the most.

It was easy to ignore the good in such people. Avery had always thought Charlotte and Shane were good people but he couldn't tell exactly how good they were.

Until now, he understood he wouldn't find another group of friends that were as good as them.

"If it's possible, I really hope that we won't grow apart," Braden sighed.

"All good things must come to an end." Charlotte was very carefree.

"Yes," Shane answered.

Avery did not answer.

Braden and Anne are locals and married so there's a low possibility that they would move. But he was different, he had a city to return to and a family to take care of. So, he had to leave Brine and this circle of friends.
