Single Mom's Sweet Husband (Charlotte)

Chapter 330

"Why do you want to go back? Aren't you happy living in my house?" Peter said. "If you are afraid of wasting Mr. Fuller and Charlotte's renovations to your house, I can live in your house. It is no problem for you to live here."

"Peter..." Zoe was moved.

Her heart was not made of iron. He had helped her solve problems over and over again. Of course, she would be moved. Of course, she would rely on him. Of course, she would be willing to do everything to be with him.

Peter did not confess his love for her at this moment. He just leaned against her quietly. As long as he was with her, it did not matter if he said those words or not.

He knew that even if he didn't say anything, she could feel how he felt.

Zoe quietly leaned into Peter's embrace and felt his warmth. Her heart had never been so calm. She gradually accepted this love between them. Although Peter was much younger than her, he was very reliable.

After the meal, Peter returned to his room. He was going to watch a movie and sleep, but the door was pushed open.

He looked at the door to find Zoe standing there with a thin blanket and pillow. She didn't come in and seemed to be waiting for him to speak.

Peter turned over and got up from the bed. He stepped on the cold floor with bare feet and jogged to her side. He put her pillow beside his own, and put her blanket at the end of the bed.

He pointed to the sheets, "I have an electric blanket. Even if we share it, it won't be cold. Then, if you want, we can turn your room into an office or something."

"Peter, I have never dated before, and I don't know what it is to like a person, but I think I can probably like you." Zoe looked at Peter in front of her very seriously. She had been thinking about this decision for a long time.

She had slept with him before, but those had been extenuating circumstances. If she wasn't the one who was sick, then it was Peter. There was no romance there at all.

But now...

She knew that she was the one making the first move.

Peter did not think too much. He smiled, took her hand and pulled her to the bed. "Whether you like me or not, I like you as always. So don't worry, I will always love you."

Zoe was lying on Peter's bed, smelling everything that held his smell. Her heart was beating especially fast.

She could not help but lean against his shoulder. She put her whole body into his embrace, and curled up in it little by little.

"If my mom calls again..."

"I'll take it." Peter hugged her tightly. "Don't worry."

"It's impossible for you to stay with me all the time."

"No, I'll always be with you, ready to pick up the phone at any time," said Peter confidently. "Unless I'm dead."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Actually, he was not sure what happens after a person dies. So, if he died, as long as there was even a one- in- a- million chance, he would risk everything to come back to find her and then continue to protect her.

It was his greatest wish to stay by her side.

Zoe fell asleep in a daze. She put on some earphones and played some white noise to help her sleep.

At about nine o'clock, her phone rang again. Peter was ready to pick it up and tell the caller off. But

he looked at the screen and found that it was Charlotte who was calling. He immediately held back his curses and picked up the phone after clearing his throat.

"Ms. Emerson," he greeted her respectfully.

"Oh, it's you?" Charlotte's voice sounded unhappy.

"It sounds like you're not happy to hear from me. Have I lost favor with you?" Peter joked.

Charlotte couldn't help laughing. "No. I just have something to talk to Zoe about."

Peter switched to a video call and pointed the camera at Zoe. "As you can see, Ms. Emerson, Zoe is already asleep. You can just tell me whatever it is."

Charlotte really didn't expect that Peter and Zoe's relationship had improved so much. In a few days, the two of them were already sleeping in the same bed. That trace of dislike at the beginning had now disappeared.

Now that the two of them had such a good relationship, then it didn't matter if she told Peter.

"It's like this," Charlotte said in an unhurried manner.

After Zoe's mother called Zoe, she quickly called all her friends. Naturally, she also called her superior. At first, she complained about how unfilial Zoe was, and then she talked about how poor she was.

Of course, Charlotte played along with her. She placed her phone to the side and took a shower, but Shane heard Zoe's mother speaking.

Shane thought it was blackmail, so he called the police. The police were annoyed to see them come back after only just leaving, but they had no choice. They arrested Zoe's mother anyway.

"That's a good thing," said Peter.

It was great to teach these terrible people a lesson.

"That's why I want to talk to Zoe about this. After all, that is her mother."

"Her mother has never regarded her as a daughter. Naturally, she will no longer treat her parents as her parents. Ms. Emerson, the house was our last concession. We can't just give them one million dollars."

Charlotte admired Peter's standpoint. "I'm very happy that Zoe will be with you."

"But, Ms. Emerson, did you say that you called the police station right after leaving the place? Why were you at the police station?"

Charlotte gave a brief explanation of what had happened with Rick.

Peter frowned when he heard this. "There are really all sorts of people in the world. It was him who spilled the soup on a guest. How dare he make trouble?"

"That's right." Charlotte sighed. "If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have wasted so much time and only get home now."

"Do you need me to investigate that person?"

"Avery has already started. He said that he is going to mess with his daily affairs. Maybe Avery will disrupt his job or something."

"It's a pity that I can't help," Peter said with great regret. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

He had been so bored recently.

"You're busy with Zoe's problems. Anyway, I don't have the time to go to the police station again. There will be a press conference tomorrow," Charlotte said.

"That won't be a problem. However, I heard that Mr. Fuller got a lot of people to handle the press conference. It shouldn't be a big problem."

Charlotte nodded.

That was indeed the case.

She didn't need to worry too much when Shane was helping her. She just needed to make sure that the write-up was good. There were naturally people who expected the best of her simply because of Shane.

They ended the call.

Peter put the phone back on the head of the bed and turned off the light.

He hugged the slender figure of the woman next to him and closed his eyes as he smelled her scent.

"Um..." Zoe was not used to being touched by someone else, so she let out a very confused but lovely noise.

"I love you."

Peter said into her ear.

Zoe responded in a daze and went back to sleep.

She was so cute.

She treated others so coldly, but she was so cute now. This contrast was so cute that his heart almost melted.

At the same moment, in Rick's villa, the lights were lit up then turned off.

At this hour, even the servants were asleep, much less Anne and Braden.

Rick could only take Kendall directly to his bedroom.

"I'm sorry that you have to stay in the guest room tonight. Tomorrow, I'll ask the servants to clean up a room for you."

"Can't I sleep with you?" Kendall put her luggage in an alcove. She liked Rick's bed. It was big enough and it looked soft. Although it was covered in black sheets and looked gloomy, she could tell from the thickness of the quilt that it would feel great to have it covering her.

Rick frowned. "Kendall, I don't think our relationship is at that point yet."

"I know. You still don't like me..."

Kendall bit her lip.

As a woman, she herself didn't mind. And yet Rick was the one who said that their relationship wasn't there yet.

Did he dislike her?

She admitted that she was not as good as Charlotte. But... but she liked him more than anyone else!
