Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Olive stopped speaking and smiled as she took the vanilla flavoured ice cream. "I like to eat anything in the original flavour. Thank you."

"You're welcome but I don't like the original flavor, I like chocolate. Then I'll give this green box to Uncle Avery. I only bought it because they said it was nice!" Sheryl passed the matcha-flavored ice cream to Avery.

Avery took the ice cream and let Sheryl take a seat. "You two can sit together."

"Alright."

Sheryl sat down beside Olive and began to tell her some interesting stories about ice cream.

Olive listened but her mind was wandering off. She suddenly realised a problem. She couldn't refuse Sheryl's kindness not because she was Ms. Emerson's daughter, but because she was Sheryl's. She was considerate and she treated Olive as a friend.

Even a child from an ordinary family couldn't refuse Sheryl, let alone herself.

Olive suddenly felt relieved. If she couldn't compete with the sun, then she would join the sun and become part of the light. At least, this way she could feel the heat and not stand in the shadow. Fireworks suddenly exploded in the air.

Countless screams erupted. Sheryl stood up and waved her arms in surprise. "It's beautiful. The fireworks are so beautiful, Olive!"

'No matter how beautiful it was, it passed in a flash.'

Olive thought but she stood up and reached out her hands with Sheryl, trying to catch the firework that could not be caught. "Yes, it's beautiful."

While Sheryl was watching the fireworks, Olive was watching Sheryl.

In fact, apart from friendship, there was another relationship that lasted even longer. It was protecting each other.

Olive thought.

If possible, she wanted to protect Sheryl's smile for the rest of her life. She did not hate sorrow and despair. She could slowly forget all the pain. As long as Sheryl was by her side, she had nothing to be afraid of.

Perhaps it was because she was born an optimist.

After the fireworks were over, it was time for them to part ways.

Sheryl handed one of the toys to Olive and said, "Look at this when you miss me!"
