Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

"I'm sorry."

Just as Avery was lost in thought, someone bumped into him. It was a boy. He was holding a rose in his hand with red eyes. He seemed to be upset.

Avery held his shoulder with one hand and asked, "Did you get dumped by your girlfriend?"

The little boy was stunned, then his eyes turned redder. "I was rejected. She said I had no money but I just haven't found someone to invest in my project. I have already got the patent. I can work hard to sell the patent or sell some shares. I can have a better future then. I don't understand why she doesn't want to be with me. Is it because I can't buy her expensive gifts now?"

"I can invest in you." Avery believed that it was Fate. He would not refuse this chance to help someone. "What project are you working on?"

"Automation." The little boy did not expect to bump into a benefactor. "You just said that you want to invest in me? Really? Do you really want to invest in me?"

"My name is Avery. I don't know if you know me." "Avery! How can I not know you? The Hart family is in the automation industry. I've heard rumours about you. Many people say you're gay but I think for someone who is as successful as you and had a girlfriend before, pretending to be gay is one of your strategies, right?"

Avery smiled charmingly. He leaned down and lifted the boy's chin with one hand. "What if I told you the rumours are true?" He said in a soft and seductive man.

One second, he was a serious and straight man. The next, he turned into a flirtatious gay man.

This little boy had never experienced these things. His face instantly turned red. He lowered his head as he didn't even dare to look at Avery. He just bit his lips and said softly, "Well, Avery, I'm really sorry. Although you can invest in me, I already have someone I like, I..."

"Hahahaha..." Avery laughed and let go of him. "So do you know why the rumours sound so true? Even I think that I might really like men. But the person in my heart always reminds me that I still love her deeply. I would never give her up. I will always be with her in my heart."

The little boy was stunned, then nodded hard. "In my heart, she is also such a person!"

"I can invest in you but you have to promise me that you won't get into a relationship with this person for three years. Of course, you can have dinner with her and go shopping together but you can't define your relationship with her. If you can do that, I will invest."

"I... I can promise you that but may I know the reason?"
