Chapter 129 Violent Brother
Charlotte had rested for a whole day. Eloise thought that she was in her menstruation and said, "Lottie, do you want to drink some brown sugar water?"
Charlotte looked at her in confusion for a moment, but finally said helplessly, "It is not menstruation. I'm just feeling a bit upset."
Eloise had nothing to worry about as long as she was full. She couldn't understand the sorrows of the young girl, so she went to the supermarket and bought a lot of snacks for Charlotte, which made Charlotte more helpless.
When Charlotte came home in the evening, Magnolia jumped into her arms just as she entered the door. Although it was a small dog, it could jump so high.
Magnolia didn't see Charlotte all day, so it kept licking her. Charlotte laughed, "Oh, well."
She held the dog away and found that there was already a nameplate hanging on its furry neck, with its name engraved on it and a string of phone numbers. Charlotte looked at it for a while and found that the phone number was from Nelson. She asked Cora strangely, "Why isn't it my phone number?"
Cora smiled and said, "It was commanded by Mr. Clark. He said that you were quite busy with school."
Charlotte nodded and touched the dog's head. "Magnolia, you should thank Mr. Clark later."
Cora said, "Mr. Clark won't come back for dinner tonight. Would you like to eat first?"
Charlotte nodded and said, "Okay."
Nelson came back at 8 o'clock in the evening. Charlotte sat on the sofa, watching TV with her dog, and Cora even fried some small potato chips for her to eat.
Cora and Paisley both liked Charlotte very much. They thought that she was clever and sensible and couldn't help regarding her as a daughter, which could explain why they never stopped Charlotte's small snacks.
When Nelson returned, Charlotte and the dog looked over together. Charlotte bent her eyes and said, "You're back!"
Nelson nodded and pinched her cheek, "Did you eat dinner?"
"Yes."
Nelson said, "Come out with me."
Charlotte wondered, "Where are you going? It's so late."
"Matthew called and said that Madame Clark was sick and wanted you to see her." He paused, "You can refuse if you don't want to go."
Charlotte stood up and said, "It's okay. Let's go take a look."
Nelson was in a low mood and his eyes were cold. He might encounter something unpleasant today. Charlotte didn't dare to provoke him, so she sat quietly. When the car arrived at the Clarks' mansion, Matthew stood at the door, waiting for Nelson. Seeing Charlotte, he nodded to her and said, "Welcome."
Charlotte said, "Thank you."
Nelson touched her hair and said, "Follow Waylon to Madame Clark's old yard. I have something to do with Matthew."
Charlotte nodded obediently.
Seeing her and Waylon walk away peacefully, Nelson's cold and gloomy face gradually revealed like a shattered mask, "Is the thing that you have told me before true?"
Matthew was also unhappy, "Yes, it has been confirmed."
"Okay. I knew these people in Keswon were treacherous creatures, and I shouldn't have signed a peace treaty in the beginning." There was strong and inexplicable malic in Nelson's voice, like a cold wind with ice and snow blowing from the North Pole, making people feel cold. He continued, "How about the leaders' opinions?"
Matthew paused and said, "The commanders all wanted to fight, but the Prime Minister and his supporters advocated for peaceful talks."
Nelson paused and sneered, "Adonis Blake, this old man, is getting more and more confused. At this time, peaceful talks are like showing our weakness...The army of Keswon is still hovering at the border."
"Yes," Matthew said, "The leader asked me to inquire about your opinions."
Nelson said, "My opinion?"
Matthew said, "I know if we follow your advice, we need to immediately send troops, but..." He paused, "Keswon is too close to Limburn Island, and if war breaks out, it will inevitably affect Limburn Island. Although the island owner has always been friendly to other countries, he is very cautious."
