Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 71 A Nightmare

Chapter 71 A Nightmare

Eloise nodded and said, "Oh, so why do you let Char watch the basketball game?"

Cecilia suddenly blushed. She turned her head, coughed, and said, "She had been at school for a few days but hadn't participated in any activities. I just wanted to make her..."

Eloise was shocked and said, "Cecilia, what you mean is that you want to make Char familiar with Srolanya High School? Aren't you the one who bullies her first?"

Cecilia said proudly, "I do hate illegitimate girls, but there are always exceptions." She quickly glanced at Charlotte and said, "She is an exception."

Charlotte's mood, which had been down upon hearing Cecilia talk about her loving father, suddenly brightened. She smiled and said, "Yesterday, you said you still disliked me."

Cecilia continued, "That's yesterday's view! Today I don't hate you anymore! Do you know that time can change everything?"

Charlotte was speechless.

Eloise also didn't know what to say.

Charlotte then said helplessly," Okay."

Cecilia thought of something and whispered, "I apologize for what I have said to you before. You are different from the people I have seen."

"Yeah." Eloise said excitedly, "I like Char as soon as I see her! Char, do you know something that can make people fall in love with you at first sight?"

Charlotte was helpless, "What are you talking about?"

Eloise covered her heart with her hand and said, "I feel like Char would even curse someone by saying 'You big bad duck'. Oh! She's so cute."

Charlotte was speechless again.

She knew how to scold people!

The other members of the first class looked at the three of them who were talking and laughing.

They thought, "Damn it, does Cecilia's brain short-circuit? Isn't she supposed to hate bastard daughters the most?"

Vivian held the pen tightly in her hand, exerting pressure with her fingers. The flesh on her fingertips was slightly raised by the hard pen shaft. She gritted her teeth, almost wishing to chop Charlotte into pieces, and fed the dogs directly.

Why had things been like this since childhood?

Charlotte could easily get things that were difficult for Vivian to get!

In the past, Charlotte easily gained Andrew's favoritism, and now she had also built a good relationship with Cecilia, which was difficult for Vivian.

Vivian thought, "Why do all people like the hateful Charlotte?"

"Vinny?" Reagan looked at her in confusion and said," What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Vivian put down the pen and smiled, "I'm just a bit tired."

Vivian thought, "Charlotte, wait. As long as you go to the gym, you will once again become the target of criticism."

Charlotte packed her backpack and Cecilia and Eloise were already waiting for her. She glanced at Nicholas, who was still sleeping on the desk. In the afternoon at three o'clock, the sunlight was a pale golden color, shining on the young boy's distinct features. There was a faint layer of gold on his long eyelashes, softening his rebellious countenance and making him appear very gentle.

After thinking for a moment, Charlotte still whispered, "Nicholas?"

But he didn't answer.

Charlotte reached out and pushed him, saying, "Nicholas! Wake up! School is over!"

Nicholas's eyelashes finally shook. Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief and was about to find Eloise when her wrist was suddenly caught by someone.

Charlotte was startled and turned around, only to see Nicholas closing his eyes, unconsciously grabbing her wrist. His grip was not strong, but it carried an undeniable sense of absolute suppression, leaving no room for resistance.

"Where are you going?" The boy's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Charlotte pursed her lips and replied, "I'm going to the basketball court to watch a game."

Nicholas furrowed his brow and finally opened his eyes. At this moment, he hadn't put on the deliberately disguised mask of a smile. His face was especially cold, and his eyes emitted a chilling light.

He glanced at the little girl's wrist that had been held by him, then released it casually and said, "Sorry, I just had a nightmare."

Charlotte asked, "What do you dream of ?"

After a two-second silence, Nicholas smiled and said, "I have dreamt of my mom. Your voice sounds quite similar to hers, which can explain why I held onto you. Are you angry?"

"No," Charlotte shook her head.

"If you go to the basketball court, can you take me with you?" Nicholas stood up and instantly became taller than Charlotte. He hooked his arm around her shoulder with intimacy and said, "I'm bored."

Charlotte struggled uncomfortably, holding her own backpack and watching him warily. She puffed up her cheeks and said, "We can go together, but don't put your arm around my shoulder."

Nicholas smirked, "Can't boys and girls be close?"

Charlotte fell silent for a moment and said, "...If you stand next to me, I'll look especially, especially short!"

Her soft and coquettish voice, with a hint of complaint, sent shivers down the listener's spine.

Nicholas's gaze flickered and he couldn't help laughing, "Okay...."

Nicholas scanned the girl, who was 0.5 centimeters away from reaching 1.6 meters. He said, "How about...drinking more milk?"

Charlotte felt embarrassed and said, "I drank milk every day when I was young! But I still didn't grow!"

Nicholas smiled and took her backpack, patting her head. He said, "Alright. There aren't many people taller than me in school. It's not embarrassing to be short. Let's go."

Charlotte didn't feel that she was comforted!

At the entrance, Cecilia and Eloise were standing with curious eyes.

Eloise looked at Cecilia and said, "Cecilia, both you and Nicholas are big shots. Are you so approachable?" Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Cecilia rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you know about Nicholas's bad temper? When he's in a bad mood, he doesn't care who you are. Even if it's me, he will still argue with me. How can you say that he is approachable?"

Eloise rubbed her chin and watched Charlotte, who was following Nicholas like a little tail. She got the conclusion, "Char is so cute! That's why the big shot can't bear to scold her!"

Cecilia thought, "Please take off your ten-thousand-layer filter and tell me, apart from her height, what's cute about Charlotte's appearance?

Nicholas and Charlotte had already come out. Nicholas glanced at Cecilia and asked, "Do you mind if I join you?"

Cecilia shrugged, "What do I mind? Before, when the school basketball team invited you to the sports institute, you didn't go. Why do you suddenly change?"

Nicholas smiled, "Because I'm boring."
