My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Charlotte played with her phone for a while before putting it down. While eating the grilled meat, she started talking to Jerry about inviting Kieron for lunch at noon.

Charlotte complained, “Mr. Zuniga is so heartless. He's not satisfied with the intimate scene and wants to change the script, but he's afraid of the investors' complaints. As a result, he lured me into his trap and screwed me over.”

“Last time, it took me a great deal of effort to persuade Leila to have her husband personally make a traditional attire...” she added as she rested her chin in her hand. Her face was full of worry. “Now that her husband has been acquitted, and she's not short of money, I don't know how to convince her to join Mr. Zuniga's film crew as a costume designer.”

“Never mind, then.” Jerry wrapped the grilled meat in lettuce and fed it to Charlotte's mouth. “The contract for this play hasn't been finalized yet, so I can choose not to accept it.”

Charlotte took a bite of the grilled meat and said with a slurred voice, “Wouldn't all my previous efforts be wasted if I did that? Besides, the important role of the third female lead in this play is still Scarlette.”

Genevieve offered me an opportunity to make money. I can't betray her for my own selfish desires.

Charlotte said she would go talk to Leila. Since Leila wasn't short of money, Charlotte would find another way to approach the matter. Then, Charlotte and Jerry changed the subject and started discussing other things.

After finishing the grilled meat, Charlotte heard that there was a performance on the first floor of the mall and wanted to take Jerry to join in the fun. As they were going down the escalator, Charlotte received a phone call.

She finished the call within a minute, then turned to Jerry and said, “Jerry, Jess needs my help and asked me to go to her place.”

“I'll go with you,” said Jerry.

“No need. She just asked me to pick something up.” Charlotte handed the car keys to Jerry. Then she hugged him and nuzzled against him. “You wait for me at my condominium. The electronic passcode hasn't changed.”

After finishing speaking, Charlotte let go of him and turned around to leave, her figure disappearing into the vast crowd.

By the time Jerry looked up to find her, she had already left.

As the car passed by the flower shop, Jerry got off and bought a bouquet of irises. When he arrived at Charlotte's condominium, he entered the electronic password to open the door.

In the next moment, the sensor light at the entrance lit up.

While Jerry was changing his shoes, he accidentally noticed a card placed on the soft stool next to him. It was flipped open, and it read: Mr. Pann, please follow Santa Claus to receive your Christmas gift.

Only then, Jerry noticed a Santa Claus figure in the hallway leading to the living room. The figure was holding up a sign with an arrow pointing in a certain direction.

Jerry couldn't help but laugh. He followed the sign to the living room and turned on the lights.

As the living room lights turned on, a cheerful classic Christmas song played from the speakers. “All I want for Christmas is you. You, baby...”

The living room featured a sunken design, and in the corner by the floor-to-ceiling window stood a nearly two-meter-tall Christmas tree. The colorful lights on the tree extended from the top down, eventually encircling a Christmas gift box beside it.

This gift box was quite large, and it was hard to guess what mysterious present lay within. A red ribbon tightly bound the box together.

Jerry pulled the ribbon and, in the instant he lifted the lid of the gift box, countless red palm-sized balloons floated out. Then, as if by magic, a red figure appeared before him.
