Chapter 167 When Are You Going to Marry?
Nelson's eyes were so powerful that he could hold people down if he wanted to. He looked at Charlotte like some kind of wild animal on the hunt, waiting for the sweet, delicious little prey to fall into its net.
But Charlotte obviously didn't get the old man's idea. She perfunctorily kissed him on the cheek and worried about petting her dog. Nelson grabbed her wrist and pressed her against the sofa with a slight force, looking at her from below, "I said you were bold, and you were really bold, kiddy."
The last word seemed to be very slowly spit out on the tip of the tongue, with an unspeakable titillating meaning.
Charlotte blushed and saw only the man's long neck in her watery deer eyes. She put her hands on her chest, "I, I, How do you suggest I pay for it?"
The old man was shameless, "How about taking a bath together?"
Charlotte had nothing to say.
"No?" Nelson hung his head and put his lips near Charlotte's ear, "What else do you think?"
Charlotte said poorly, "I can't figure it out."
Nelson stood up, "Take your time, then."
She lay on the sofa for a moment, and closed her eyes and thought. Finally she got up and slipped into Nelson's study. Nelson had just lit a cigarette. Seeing her come in, he put it out immediately. His eyes were a little cool, "Got it?"
Charlotte shook her head honestly. She pressed her lip together and didn't dare get too close to Nelson. She said quietly, "Actually, I have a question for you."
It was a question she wanted to ask for a long time.
Soon it would be May. The begonias were almost gone, but they still grabbed the last chance to bloom until the end of the season. Even flowers would seize the opportunity to open, as if many things must be asked clearly.
Charlotte lowered her eyelids and asked softly, "Sir, when are you going to marry?"
She was only bought by Elizabeth for Nelson's pleasure, and she was not old enough, so they were not registered marriage. From the moment she entered the door of the Clark family, she knew that Nelson would certainly marry in the future, and at that time she was the redundant one and was bound to leave.
Nelson's eyes lit up, "Why do you ask?"
Charlotte took a breath, "I'm sure I won't be able to stay with you when you marry, and if you're planning to marry soon, I..."
"So you can plan your way out?" Before Charlotte could finish speaking, Nelson answered, with coldness in his midnight eyes, "Charlotte, how long have you been trying to tell me this?"
Charlotte pulled her fingers and bowed her head, too afraid to look at Nelson.
She had been wanting to talk for a long time.
But when she came back from the Lopez's mansion today, she suddenly realized that she was a trouble maker, and that the Lopez family and the Hunter family would not give up exploiting her last bit of value, as long as she was still around Nelson. They would use her by any means to get benefits from Nelson, even if she herself did not agree, but as long as Jonathan revealed her relationship with Nelson, there would be a lot of people to curry favor with her, which Charlotte could not stop.
And...
Nelson had a crush, that young lady named Sabrina Tylor.
Charlotte thought about this question for a long time. By staying by Nelson's side, she was just dragging him down for no reason.
"Sooner or later." Charlotte spoke softly, "I can't run away from this."
Nelson looked at her with cold eyes, "You want to go?"
Charlotte instinctively shook her head, but then she thought for a moment, and nodded.
Nelson was silent for a long time. Then he smiled, "Charlotte, you'd better not make me angry."
