Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 117 Was She The Only One Who Hated Charlotte

Chapter 117 Was She The Only One Who Hated Charlotte

The three of them had been living with the Moore family for almost a year. Raegan and Lorenzo became bolder in their actions. When the pocket money they extorted from Charlotte wasn't enough, they even threatened her to steal Madelyn's jewelry and sell it.

Of course, Charlotte refused, but Reagan and Lorenzo had their ways. They would hit her, twist her arm, and insult her. Those malicious acts they committed still horrified Charlotte when she looked back on those memories. At that time, the eldest kid among them was Reagan, who was only ten years old.

After Madelyn discovered the injuries on Charlotte's body, she was very angry. The next day, she sent those three children away and cut off contact with her uncle for many years.

As Charlotte recalled those events now, the most profound memory was of herself sitting alone on the grass, watching the Moore siblings playing with the ball. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

"What are you thinking about?" Nelson suddenly asked.

Charlotte was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Um... I was thinking about having an ice cream."

After running around for a while, she had worked up a slight sweat, and indeed, she felt like having an ice cream.

Nelson narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while. Then, he said, "Wait here for me."

Charlotte nodded obediently.

Nelson walked a few steps, then turned back as if he was worried and pointed his finger at her, saying, "Wait there."

Charlotte was speechless and thought to herself, "I'm not a kid!"

After Nelson left, Charlotte squatted on the ground with nothing to do, watching ants carrying things. She didn't intentionally bother them or extend a helping hand and unknowingly became engrossed in observing them. It was only when a car horn was heard and she snapped out of her trance.

Charlotte looked up blankly and saw a familiar car parked by the roadside. Since she didn't move, the car honked impatiently twice.

After that, Charlotte stood up and opened the passenger door, getting into the car. She curiously looked at Nelson and asked, "Are we going out?"

Nelson started the car, his voice was calm, and he said, "You said you want an ice cream, so I want to take you out to buy it."

Charlotte took a moment to process his words before understanding. She felt a bit surprised by the gesture, "Actually, I don't really want it that much..."

Nelson glanced at her sideways, "If you want something, just say it."

Charlotte pursed her lips and nodded lightly.

Nelson found a nearby ice cream shop, but just as he was about to get out of the car, Charlotte hurriedly held him back and said, "Wait a moment!"

Nelson lowered his gaze to her hand holding onto him and smiled faintly, "What's the matter?"

Charlotte pointed to his face, "If you go out like this, you'll definitely attract all the attention."

Nelson replied calmly, "They wouldn't dare."

While saying that, he directly opened the car door and told Charlotte, "Let's go."

Charlotte had no choice but to get out of the car.

As she had thought, with Nelson's physique and looks, he stood out like a spotlight on the stage, instantly attracting everyone's attention. However, those people didn't dare to come closer to look at him, let alone took out their phones to secretly take his photos.

Charlotte was a bit puzzled, but she didn't ask. Nelson reached out, grabbed her head, and pulled her towards him. With her by his side, he entered the ice cream shop without even sparing a glance at the onlookers.

Charlotte hadn't eaten much ice cream before, so she bought a matcha-flavored one. Nelson wasn't interested in it and just leaned against the side, watching her make the purchase.

The staff didn't dare to look up at him and asked Charlotte in a hushed voice, "Um... Miss, is he your boyfriend?"

Charlotte was taken aback for a moment and then shook her head, "No, he's not."

"He looks so fierce," the staff whispered, "I can't even look at his face. His aura is too intimidating."

Charlotte didn't know what to say.

Mystery solved.

So, it turned out that man looked fierce, which explained why no one dared to take photos of him.

The ice cream was quickly prepared, and Nelson paid for it. He held Charlotte's wrist and led her out of the ice cream shop, just like leading a little child. The customers and staff in the shop let out a

sigh of relief and thought to themselves, "Gosh, he is so scary!"

"Vinny," Emilia whispered, "Did you see the man just now?"

Vivian felt annoyed and distracted, "No... No, I didn't."

"What a pity! He must be very handsome," Emilia murmured, "But his aura is just too intimidating... If he stood in front of me, I'd definitely go weak in the knees."

Vivian's mind was filled with the image of the figure she caught just now... That person looked so much like Charlotte.

Her tone was unfriendly as she said, "You're already weak in your knees."

Emilia noticed that Vivian was in a bad mood and tried to cheer her up, "By the way, how is Charlotte doing now? I heard there was a girl causing trouble at your school. Is that true?"

"It's true." Vivian's expression became even more unpleasant as she mentioned it, "But the truth is, it has nothing to do with Char."

Not only that, but she also lost her powerful tool, Reagan. Now, in Srolanya High School, she became alone and powerless...

How could a despicable person like Charlotte have such a big influence and so many people were helping her...

Who was that man just now? Could he be the legendary "Mr. Clark"? If that was the case... How could Mr. Clark possibly accompany Charlotte to a place like that? Wasn't he supposed to be on the verge of death?

Vivian had been trying to convince herself that the man was just a fling Charlotte had recently gotten involved with, but every time she thought of the terrifying oppressive aura he brought when he entered the shop... She couldn't deceive herself.

It was a kind of pressure that only someone who had stood at the pinnacle of power could have, and it was impossible to replicate.

If that man was "Mr. Clark"...

Vivian clenched her fist.

What made Charlotte deserve Mr. Clark's love? If it had been her who entered the Clark family back then, could she have...

That thought made Vivian wish she could tear Charlotte apart and swallow her.

Emilia was afraid of Vivian's expression and asked cautiously, "Vinny?"

"What's wrong?" Vivian's face returned to a smile, and she looked gentle and radiant again, "Sorry, I got lost in my thought just now."

"What were you thinking about?"

Vivian smiled, "It's just some school matters. Aren't you always craving the cream puffs from this shop? Give them a try."

The smile on Vivian's lips extended to her eyes. Perhaps she wasn't entirely alone at Srolanya High School. After all, she wasn't the only one who hated Charlotte.

......

Charlotte took a bite of the ice cream and found it delicious. Her eyes squinted with happiness, "This is really good."

"You can only eat half of it," Nelson said lazily, "Otherwise, your stomach won't be able to handle it."

Charlotte acknowledged and planned to finish eating before getting back into the car. However, she noticed a group of children across the street.

That ice cream shop was located opposite a residential area, so there was a relatively large crowd of people over there. Among the passing crowd, there was a woman who was scolding a young boy and tugging on his ear. Her voice was so loud that it could be heard clearly on the street, almost deafening.
