Chapter 299
Before Peter could open the door, he caught a whiff of a familiar scent. He opened the door, the
woman walked in tantly. In a blink of an eye, she had already put her luggage on the sofa.
All of his anxiety and anger melted away in an instant.
He smiled tteringly as he walked to her side and asked, "Zoe, did youe alone? You didn''t tell
me you wereing?"
"I was going to find Lottie but Shane answered her phone. I had no choice but to find you. It''s peak
season now, the front desk informed me there were no avable rooms so I have to wait until
eleven o''clock." Zoe was so tired sheid on the sofa.
"Are you hungry? I''ll get you something to eat?" He crouched down beside her and started to
massage her legs.
"I''m sure you didn''t eat it yourself."
"I was working. Now that I''m free, I have time to eat. What do you want? I''ll order it for you."
Zoe shook her head. "Anything is fine. Just get me the same as yours."
"Alright."
Peter quickly ordered the food. But he was worried the food would take at least 30 minutes to arrive
and Zoe couldn''t wait that long. So he simply went down to buy some food.
He never expected he would meet Shane at the supermarket.
"Mr. Fuller." Peter was very surprised.
"Yes." The man replied indifferently.
Peter stared at the shelf before him which disyed all kinds of... condoms?
Peter was still an innocent guy who had no experience in this area. His face instantly turned red and
he asked, "Mr. Fuller, are you going to be busy with Ms. Emerson all night?"
Shane gazed at him thoughtfully. "Are you buying one too?"
"Forget it, I''ll just forget it...” Peter quickly waved his hand.

If Zoe knew, she would definitely think that he was a pervert.
Shane raised his eyebrows and continued to choose one.
Peter walked around the supermarket and returned to where he met Shane, he had finished picking
one. Shane was about to pay the bill when
Peter stepped forwards and said, "Let me pay, Mr. Fuller. It''s quite awkward for you."
Shane''s expression didn''t change but he looked at Peter weirdly.
It was alreadyte at night and he didn''t buy anything else other than that...
Shane wanted to say "no" but realised he forgot to bring his wallet when he put his hands in his
pockets.
"Okay, sorry for the trouble." Shane handed the small box to Peter.
Peter headed over to the cashier.
When he paid, the cashier even eyed him up and down then suggested if he wanted to buy some
toys. Peter shook his head and hurriedly put the box in his pockets. Then he rushed out to wait for
Shane at the exit.
Soon, Shane came out of the store. Peter passed him the two small boxes and whispered, "Mr.
Fuller, do you still need to use protection with Ms. Emerson? Don''t you want to give Sheryl a
younger brother or sister?"
Peter had never seen Sheryl before but Zoe adored Sheryl so he always had a good impression of
her.
A child at this age would hope their parents would spend more time with them. After getting most of
their love, they would want a younger sibling.
"The timing is not right."
Peter nodded. That was also true. Mr. Fuller and Ms. Emerson weren''t officially married yet. Shane
only released news about their marriage.
After saying goodbye to Shane, Peter returned to the room.
As he was going through the things he bought, Peter noticed there was another box in the bag.
"What is this?"
At that moment, Zoe walked over.
Peter tried to hide the box but Zoe grabbed the box first. She read thebel carefully, "Pr..."
"It''s pepper voured bubble gum." Peter quickly took the box away and stuffed it in his pockets.
"Huh? Is there a 0.1mm sized bubble gum?" Zoe asked puzzledly.
"Yes, there is." Beads of sweat streaked down Peter''s forehead.
He didn''t know what Zoe would think of him if she knew he bought this sort of thing.
Zoe reached out and said, "Give me one."
"Didn''t you say you can''t eat spicy food? This bubblegum should be quite hot? Stop messing
around and eat." Peter pushed her towards the stic bag.
She really can''t handle spicy food.
Zoe shrugged her shoulders and let the matter slide. She had never heard of pepper voured
bubblegum.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon of the next day.
Charlotte couldn''t get up in the morning. She was immediately pinned down by Shane the moment
she woke up. She couldn''t really exin what happened yesterday night. It was as if a me had
been ignited between them.
As for the status of their rtionship...
She was too embarrassed to ask.
However, she did notice Shane was a little more ''enthusiastic'' towards her.
He had never helped her get her shoes or clothes before. Charlotte felt more and more uneasy to
be alone with him these days so she suggested having lunch with Zoe and Peter.
Shane didn''t notice anything unusual about her behaviour but he did seem to be missing one of the
boxes he bought yesterday. Now that he thought about it...
It probably was with Peter.
"Okay." Shane took out his phone and called Peter.
"Mr. Fuller." His voice was very hoarse.
"Didn''t you sleep well yesterday?"
"Well, I did sleep well. I''ll tell you about it in a minute." Peter hung up the phone with that.
Shane put down the phone and stared at the dark screen but there was a slight curve on his lips.
After a while, there was a knock on the door. Charlotte opened the door slightly. She could see
through the cracks that Peter was sweating profusely with his hands on his hips. His body was bent
as he puffed out of breath.
"Uh, are you alright?" Charlotte opened the doorpletely and poured him a ss of water.
Peter took the water and drank it all in one gulp. He took out the ''pepper voured bubblegum'' from
his pocket and tossed it onto the sofa Shane was sitting on.
Shane stretched his legs and leaned to one sidezily to pick up the box. He raised his eyebrows
and asked, "You didn''t use it?"
"I''ll tell you a story." Peter gritted his teeth.
He told the entire story from the beginning.
At first, Charlotte felt a little embarrassed. After all, it was Shane who bought it for them. But by the
end of the story, she couldn''t care less about being embarrassed, she burst out withughter to the
point she was in stitches.
Shane didn''tugh. He handed the small box to Peter and said, "Take your bubblegum to the
restaurant."
"Mr. Fuller, I beg you. Please take this bubblegum back. I really... If Zoe sees it, she will definitely
think that I am a pervert."
"She won''t. Maybe she''ll think that Durex also had a line of bubblegum," Charlotte raised her head
and said. Then she threw her head down and startedughing out loud again.
Peter felt so helpless.
Shane took the box and put it on the table. "You''re too careless."
"I know. I want to change too. I''ve been with you for so many years, this is not the first time," Peter
defended himself in a small voice.
This was indeed not the first time.
He even took the wrong passport once. Shane was unable to board the ne and he was stranded
at an airport abroad for three days.
"I''ll give you a chance to make it up yourself. Pick a good restaurant. If you fail, I will ask Charlotte
to tell Zoe this joke," Shane said coldly.
Peter didn''t dare to wait another second. He immediately pushed open the door and ran out without
another word.
By that time, Charlotte had finishedughing. She turned over andid on her back as she rubbed
her stomach. "Peter is usually quite reliable in his work. I didn''t expect him to make such a slip-up."
"His dependability is intermittent."
Shane''s words hit the nail on the head.
Peter chose a hotpot chain restaurant.
Of course, the taste should be quite good. There''s no need to worry about the freshness of food
either because it''s a chain restaurant.
He didplete his task very quick-wittedly.
However, as soon as the four people were seated, Charlotte leaned towards Zoe and asked, "Zoe,
do you want to hear a joke?"
