Chapter 119 The Wild Move
Charlotte looked at the young boy with his bright, obsidian-like eyes and said, "It's true."
Chen Shi lowered his head and smiled shyly, "Thank you, Miss."
Charlotte replied, "Now, you should go home quickly. It's not safe for you to be out here alone."
"Okay." Arthur obediently nodded. After he took a couple of steps, he heard the soft voice again, "By the way, let me give you my phone number so we can stay in touch."
Charlotte wrote her phone number on Arthur's arm with a pen. Then, she took a piece of candy out of her pocket and put it in his palm. It was a candy the ice cream shop attendant had given her just now. She spoke gently, "Go now."
Arthur looked at her and then he looked at the candy in his hand and nodded heavily.
As he walked towards the entrance of the residential area, he suddenly turned back. He saw Charlotte standing in front of a pitch-black car, talking to an unusually tall and big man. Arthur couldn't see the man's face clearly, but his intuition told him that man was definitely not an ordinary person.
He quickly averted his gaze, looking at the candy in his hand, and then clenched it tightly in his palm.
......
"I acted impulsively earlier," Charlotte explained softly, "Please don't be angry. I'll take a taxi back by myself later. I won't ride in your car."
Nelson's eyes were cold as he looked at the little dirty dog nestled in Charlotte's arms. "What after that? Where do you plan to keep it?"
Charlotte thought for a moment and said, "I'll check with my classmates. They might..."
"Classmates?" The man narrowed his eyes, pushed Charlotte against the car, and spoke with a voice that sounded hoarse and indifferent, "Charlotte, if you just act coquettish with me, this issue can be easily resolved. Why do you need to go to your classmates? Which classmate is that close to you? Tell me."
Charlotte had no idea what that old man was upset about. Wasn't he looking at the dog with disdain? He seemed unwilling to keep it. But she also knew that arguing with that unpredictable man would not end well, so she bowed her head and say, "I... I can see that you don't like pets, so..."
"I indeed don't like pets," Nelson said calmly, "But if you offer me some benefits, we can still discuss it."
Charlotte's eyes immediately lit up with excitement, "Really?"
"Of course."
"In that case..." Charlotte pondered for a moment, "I'll go back and cook lots of delicious food for you!"
Nelson said with a wry smile, "That's not necessary."
He bent slightly, ignored the gaze of others, and fixed his dark eyes on Charlotte's rosy and tender lips. They looked quite delicious. He wondered if they would have a fragrant and sweet taste when pressed against his own...
"Give me a kiss," the old man whispered enticingly, "and I'll allow you to keep the dog."
Charlotte let out a sigh of relief. Well, it was just a kiss, and she had already given him so many kisses, so it wouldn't hurt to give one more.
She was about to peck him on the cheek when she saw Nelson smirk mischievously. He extended a long and slender index finger, and the white tip of his finger tapped on his own lips, saying, "Kiss me here."
Charlotte was speechless.
There was a moment of silence.
Ah!
