Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 117

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.

"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."
