Single Mom's Sweet Husband by Charlotte

Avery got on a few rides with Olive. He received a call from Charlotte saying they had arrived with Sheryl.

It wasn't easy to find each other in the vast sea of people, let alone follow someone. It took them quite a while to find each other. Charlotte froze when she saw the phone and map in Olive's hand. "Are you going to let her go alone?" "Let Sheryl go along then. She has a phone anyway." Avery looked at Olive and asked, "What do you think?" "I'm fine. Do you want to play with me?" Olive looked at Sheryl with sparks in her eyes.

Sheryl was in a dilemma. She really wanted to be with her mom and dad but she also knew that they had to discuss business with Uncle Avery. She wouldn't have fun with them, she might even create more trouble for them...

Olive was smart. She immediately said, "Since Sheryl doesn't want to go, it's fine forto go by myself." "It's not that I don't want to, I just think..." Sheryl bit her lower lip. "It's not easy forto spend twith my mom and dad now. I know they're very busy but I still want to stay with them for a while longer." Charlotte suddenly felt guilty. She just wanted to bring Olive and Sheryl out to play. The first reason was so they could have fun and the second was to avoid any attention from the Stevens family. However, she never thought of it from the child's point of view.

Charlotte knelt down and pulled Sheryl into her arms. She said in a soft voice, "After today, let's go have a vacation in the city next door, okay? Your great-grandma also said she wanted to go on a holiday." "Really?" Sheryl looked at her hopefully. "You can't break your promise. Also, can Olive cwith us?" Olive knew of Charlotte and Shane's fake fallout with Avery. She also knew it was one of the reasons they met at this amusement park. Avery had told her everything but he didn't care if she understood it or not. She didn't know she should thank him or resent him for not caring about whether her brain could process this information. But no matter what, she could not go on a trip with Sheryl.

Olive said, "Well, I won't go on the trip. We can have fun today. You can followor you can stick with your parents. You can't have both. Besides, travelling would delay my studies. I don't have the time." Sheryl felt upset all of a sudden. She reached out and grabbed the hem of Olive's clothes. "We had such a good tlast time. Don't you want to go out with me?" "Let's go play first and leave the adults alone. We can slowly talk then." "Hmm? Alright." Olive was about to leave with Sheryl, Shane quickly stopped them. He passed Sheryl's phone to her and put 300 dollars in her bag. Sheryl sweetly said, "Thank you, daddy!" "Go ahead." "All right." Sheryl scampered off with Olive.

"Olive..." Charlotte sighed, "She's too mature. I didn't expect her to stand in our shoes and think for us." "I told her about our fallout. That's why she rejected the idea of travelling together." Avery watched as the children left, there was a trace of sadness in his heart. "She's a good kid. But she's too sensible, it's frightening." "Even you would feel afraid. It was quite normal for the previous family to return her back." "Well, so I never blamed them. Instead, it was because of them that I could adopt Olive. I really have to thank you for this. If it wasn't for her, I don't know how I could've got through these times." Speaking of this matter, Charlotte's eyes darkened. "Peter and Zoe are both fine. It should be a good thing, but they actually attacked Peter and Zoe. We can't let our guard down anymore. This time, we cto talk to you about this. Braden will tell you the details. I'll give you a general idea." "It's not Mr. Fuller's idea?" Avery frowned. He didn't really trust Braden.

It was not that he didn't trust him.

He knew that anyone around Charlotte and Shane would be worthy of his trust but Braden was too unreliable. He was a happy-go-lucky guy that has never done anything seriously in his life so... "It's a good idea," Shane said calmly.

"Are you sure?" "I don't like it but you will." Avery wanted to say that if Shane didn't like it, how could he like it? But on second thought, he didn't really have anything in common with Shane. He immediately understood what he meant. "Let's sit down and talk. When will Braden cover?" "Around lunchtime. Speaking of this... I hope the two girls remember to eat." "We've given them so much money. It's impossible that they would forget," Avery said with a smile.

Moms just like to worry. He and Shane didn't have so many concerns as fathers.

Olive made a detailed plan which included the rides with the least people and the rides that were the most fun. Of course, since the both of them had VIP passes, they didn't need to wait in line. The difference in the waiting twas about 5 to ten minutes.

"It's nice to have money," Olive sighed as she looked at the golden card in her hand.

"I heard from my mommy that you used to live a hard life." Sheryl did not use the word 'poor' because she knew that it would hurt people.

However, Olive said with a smile, "It's not hard but poor. It's fine. You don't have to care about my feelings. I'm really used to it. I know that I'm poor and my family is poor. We can't even afford a cup of water if we chere, let alone the VIP pass." "Olive..." Sheryl's heart ached for her.

"It really doesn't matter." "I know you don't mind it but I do. At least I need to consider your feelings even if others don't. After all, we only have each other now." Sheryl put down her hand and gently held Olive's hand.

Olive froze for a moment. Then, she burst into laughter. "I'm really fine," Olive said. "If I have to say something, it would be that I disliked you a little when I first met you." "It's normal, after all, I'm so cute." "Yes, you're so cute."

Right then, it was their turn to go on the ride. The staff were extra cautious and as it was just the two of e them. They were very well-behaved and nodded along at the staff's instructions. Finally, they got into the ride. After they went through several rides, it was already noon.

"I'm so hungry." Sheryl rubbed her stomach.

"Do you want to eat something?"

"Okay." Sheryl picked up the map and said, "Letsee where we should go. Hey, it's said there are different types of foods according to the areas. There's BBQ here, the others.

only have hamburgers." "All right. Olive looked over and typed in the coordinates into her cell phone. Then she followed the navigation.

The owner didn't want to serve them at first when they arrived but they couldn't refuse when they saw the children have money.

"Kids, aren't you with your parents?" Two people dressed like college students cover and asked.

Olive wanted to say something but Sheryl pointed at her brooch and om said, "My dad will findthrough the GPS so don't worry. Thank you for your kindness. We're going to have lunch now." The two of them were stunned at first, then they smiled awkwardly.

"Do you know who they are?" Olive asked with a frown.
