Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 148

Chapter 148 Older Man like You

The meeting was going smoothly, but suddenly, Nelson got up and left. Everyone assumed there was something urgent, but to their surprise, he returned in a few minutes with a young girl. Though they couldn't see her, her soft and sweet voice clearly indicated she was young.

Nelson just explained, "The girl at home is too noisy, so I punish her to read books."

Everyone was a little disappointed.

They had thought Nelson, who had always been aloof, had finally fallen in love. However, it turned out to be a young relative in his family.

Nonetheless, the voice sounded indeed tender, as if the girl was underage. They couldn't imagine Mr. Clark would stoop so low as to get involved with a minor. They must have got it wrong.

Meanwhile, as she was reading a medical book, Charlotte glanced at Nelson from time to time as he talked to others. His expression remained indifferent, and his voice was cold and stern. He looked so fierce as if he could determine others' life or death at any moment, which was quite intimidating.

Now she understood why many referred to him as a grim reaper. Though legends shouldn't be entirely trusted, there might be some truth to them. Seeing Nelson like this truly sent chills down her spine.

Afraid of provoking him, Charlotte sneaked glances at him until Cora knocked on the door and brought them each a bowl of lotus seed and lily bulb sweet soup. Made from fresh lilies, glutinous rice, honey, and lotus seeds, the soup was tasty and had the benefits of refreshing the mind and nourishing the body. Cora had excellent cooking skills and could strike a perfect balance between flavor and sweetness, so Charlotte loved all the desserts she made. She quickly finished her bowl. Yet, Nelson's video conference was still not over. He looked at Charlotte and asked, "Are you done eating?"

Charlotte nodded and still held the bowl in her hands looking like a satisfied hamster unwilling to put down the nuts in hands.

Nelson tilted his head slightly and said, "Come here."

Charlotte set the bowl aside and walked over. Nelson covered the laptop's camera and unabashedly said, "This meeting has been going on for so long, and my head hurts. Feed me."

Charlotte didn't know how to respond.

Charlotte hesitated. Couldn't he eat by himself when he had a headache?"

Nelson looked at her and said again, "Little girl, I'm talking to you."

Charlotte glanced at the untouched soup and reluctantly picked it up. Feeding someone was something she was quite familiar with, though she used to feed her grandfather. Now, she was feeding Nelson, which made her nervous.

Nelson stared at her fingers and urged, "Hurry up."

She brought the spoon to his lips. He glanced at it and took a bite.

Charlotte slowly fed him the entire bowl of sweet soup. Just as she was about to put the bowl down, Nelson just said, "Afternoon snack."

Charlotte was surprised but soon realized he was speaking to the people on the conference call. Afraid of disturbing him, she tidied up the bowl and spoon and put them aside for Cora to take them to the kitchen later.

However, from Nelson's earphones, came the voice of someone on the conference call saying, "Nelson, do you really need a little girl to feed you?"

Nelson calmly replied, "If you want, you can do it too."

The young man on the other end of the line sneered, "Could it be that you want to give my jade to this little girl?"

Nelson retorted, "Speaking of that, why haven't you delivered the jade yet?"

He just responded, "...Let's get back to the meeting and talk about work."

Nelson demanded, "Send it over as soon as possible."
