Chapter 171 What about Playing the Chess
A nameless and great litterateur once said that the most poignant thing in the world was the beauty was right next to you and even went into your bed, but you couldn't touch her.
Charlotte turned back and showed her head. She said, "Sir, good night."
Nelson was speechless. He pulled back the quilts, sitting up and said, "You sleep first."
Charlotte was curious and asked, "Where are you going?"
Nelson said, "I will take a shower."
Charlotte felt strange. She said, "But have you just took a shower?"
The little fairy didn't know what the old man was thinking.
Charlotte always slept well. Basically she could fall asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow. When the old man finished meeting his physiological need and came out, Charlotte was already asleep.
Nelson helped her cover with quilt and opened the window to ventilate. As soon as he went into the bed, the little fairy reached him and regarded him as a large doll. But she was too short. She could only reached Nelson's waist. She didn't feel something was wrong. She just rubbed on his body with her face, sleeping very well.
Nelson thought to himself: This little girl knew nothing but sleep!
He moved Charlotte's place and made her farther to that dangerous area. He held her slender waist and closed his eyes, sighing.
...
When Charlotte got up the next day, she went downstairs to say to Nelson, "Sir, sir! Look at here!"
She parted the collar and pointed at the red marks on her neck, "Look! There were mosquitoes biting me!"
Cora and Paisley passed by both felt speechless.
They looked at Nelson for sure.
Char was so young and she even didn't know what hickey was. Mr. Clark still had that relationship with her.
Nelson had nothing to say. He thought: Damn, I hadn't done anything!
He lowered his eyes and explained calmly, "Maybe it was because I opened the window last night."
Charlotte sat on the chair to start her breakfast and said, "I see." She didn't care much about it.
Cora and Paisley thought: Mr. Clark, that was such a poor excuse.
Nelson thought: That was really from the mosquitoes!
After finishing eating, Charlotte carried her schoolbag and said "Goodbye" to Nelson, then she went out to school.
Cora watched her back and said, "Char is more viable than when she just came."
Paisley said while clearing away the bowls and other tableware, "That is a good thing. Char is still so young. It is good to be viable. My daughter was such a naughty girl when she was at the age of Char. She would do every bad things. Char is too good."
Nelson who was putting on a coat smiled slightly when he heard their talk.
Charlotte was raised by him. She would absolutely be a brave princess. He would help her to put away the self-abasement and timidity she had had during her life before she met him.
She was to live proudly and freely.
...
"Sh*t, sh*t, today the teacher is going to hand out our quiz papers." Eloise clenched three pens together to pray and bowed her head to Charlotte, "Pray to learning tyrant! Please let me pass the exam!"
Cecilia said, "The exam result has come out now. What is the use to pray? Don't you know that what is your level?"
Eloise widened her eyes and said, "I got 0 because I missed the exam last time! I didn't show all my ability!"
Cecilia said perfunctorily, "Then I wish you can show your ability this time and maybe get a mark of 10?"
Eloise had nothing to say to Cecilia. Then she pulled Charlotte's sleeve and said, "Charlotte! She is bullying me!"
