Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Peter dashed into the children's playground and toward Zoe, wrapping her in his arms. "Don't be afraid. I'll take you out of here. No one can hurt you now that I'm here."

"Peter..." Zoe looked up at him and said in a hoarse voice, "I know that person. We've seen his photo before. His name is Caleb. I don't know why he wanted to do that, but he's really scary. I..."

Zoe had always been mature, steady, and rational. It was the first time she acted like that, so it was clear that Caleb had traumatized her. He hugged her tight and comforted her softly, "It's all right. It's all in the past now. Everything will be okay. Believe me, all right? No matter what happens, I will always be here to protect you."

Zoe's entire body was shaking. After hearing his words, she felt slightly better. But she was still in a daze and couldn't stand up at all.

Peter sat with her for a while before helping her up and leaving the children's playground with her. The two of them walked for some distance and arrived at a relatively quiet and unoccupied place. It was then that four men, who were dressed in black, surrounded them. And right after that, Caleb appeared.

"It looks like the car accident last time failed to teach you a lesson, Mr. Brown," Caleb smirked. His fingers caressed his lips as he looked at Peter with a half-smile. "Even Avery is not qualified to compete with me. What right do you have to..."

"She's not Irena. She's Zoe. If you only care about someone who looks exactly like Irena, why don't you pick someone who likes you to get plastic surgery?" Peter stood in front of Zoe and gazed fearlessly at Caleb. "Do you think you're really that powerful? Avery might think so, but it's a pity that I'm not afraid of you at all. Do you know why?"

Not afraid of him? Why wouldn't he be afraid of him? Caleb squinted and said arrogantly, "You're not afraid of me? What right do you have to not be afraid of me?"

"Because we have nothing to be afraid of. Zoe and I are just two orphans. If you try to hurt us, our first reaction is not to commit suicide to preserve our reputation but to find a way to stab you to death." Peter said as he took out a knife from his pocket. "Do you know that I have always been waiting for this day?"

Surprised, Caleb took a step back and pointed at the bodyguards beside him. Suddenly, the four of them started walking towards Peter.

Without hesitation, Peter stabbed one of them in the neck. The person immediately staggered back, his hand pressing on his throat. Even so, a bruise appeared on the back of his hand.

"Mr. Stevens, he's for real. He didn't care if I would die or not." The bodyguard stood respectfully by Caleb's side and said, "I'm afraid what he said is true. Besides, judging from his ferocious strength and techniques, the four of us might not be able to control him. If we push him too far, he might kill the five of us... You'll be in danger."

Caleb could tell that Peter was serious. Furthermore, he was no different from his bodyguard in Peter's eyes. Caleb chuckled coldly and said, "If that's the case, Peter, why don't you tell me what you like about Zoe? I'm really upset at the fact that I can't have her. If I'm unhappy, I'll send both of you to the underworld. But if you can make up a story that will make me happy, I'll show you mercy and allow you two to be together. What do you think?"

to the underworld... I think that's a great idea. Come closer if you dare. Let's see if you have more men or if I can kill them all without difficulty." "You..." Caleb
