Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Treated Me Like I Am Her Father

Charlotte moved her fingers slightly, "Uh... Mr. Clark, my hand hurts."

Nelson glanced at her fair and tender fingers and finally showed some mercy. He took the fruit knife from her hand and helped her open the parcel.

Charlotte stared blankly at his actions.

That man seemed to be extremely skilled with knives. Even though he was only opening the parcel with a knife, he did it in one swift motion, without any hesitation. His movements were precise and elegant and carried a hint of gracefulness.

The knife that could pierce someone's heart and take lives seemed to transform into an exquisite work of art in his hands, so beautiful that it went beyond words.

They bought many things for the puppy. Like, a dog bed, dog food, grooming cream, dog toys, and dog snacks... Nelson quickly unpacked everything while Cora was keeping the cardboard boxes away. Charlotte unwrapped the packaging of those items.

The dog bed for the little puppy was not big, made of pink, blue, and white woven ropes. It looked utterly adorable. Charlotte even found a few pieces of small clothes for the dog to wear, as well as a dog name tag!

Charlotte looked at Nelson with shining eyes, "Mr. Clark, who prepared all of this?"

Nelson casually said one of the names of his subordinate.

Charlotte responded, "He's so thoughtful!"

Nelson felt displeased and shamelessly said, "But I was the one who instructed him to do so."

Charlotte paused and added, "Mr. Clark is also very kind."

Nelson felt satisfied and picked up the dog name tag, looking at it, "What name are you planning to give the dog?"

"Magnolia," Charlotte said without hesitation, "My mom once said she wanted to have a pet named Magnolia. But her health was not good, so she couldn't keep a pet, and she never got one."

Nelson looked at the name tag in his hand, "I'll have someone engrave it for you."

Charlotte nodded.

Cora took the dog's name tag with a smile and said, "My daughter is good at this. I'll take it back today and have her do it. It will be ready by tomorrow."

Charlotte smiled and said thank you.

After they organized the items for the little puppy, Charlotte was quite tired.

Magnolia curled up on the couch, sleeping soundly. It was a small and fragile bundle, with a posture that clearly showed a lack of security. Nelson suddenly remarked, "You sleep in the same way too."

Charlotte was taken aback, "Me?"

Nelson nodded.

Charlotte continued, "We must have a strong connection."

With his long legs and arms, Nelson sitting cross-legged on the floor exuded a sense of elegance. Charlotte looked at the prominent collarbones and asked curiously, "Mr. Clark, is car racing fun?"

Nelson hesitated for a moment, "It's okay."

When he was younger, he enjoyed it, but in recent years, he hadn't engaged in it for a long time.

Charlotte nodded as if she understood.

Nelson stood up and pulled Charlotte up, "Let's wash our hands and eat."

Charlotte obediently went to the restroom, and Nelson followed her leisurely. He was quite tall, and his imposing presence made Charlotte feel like she was walking alone in a forest at night, being watched by a wolf.

She turned on the tap to wash her hands, and Nelson washed his hands next to her. Charlotte tilted her head to take a look at him. Nelson's fingers were slender, fair, and exquisitely shaped. They seemed to have defeated countless hand models and looked extremely pleasing under the light.
