Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185 She Deserved That 

Joshua slowly stood up, brushed the dust off his pants, and said, “Yes. Let’s go. We’ll go to the Farewell Party.” 

Caleb immediately knitted his brows and said bitterly, “Joshua, are we going there again? But the landlady never paid attention to you.” 

The Farewell Party was a bar that had a very odd mix of different guests. And there were frequent fights in the bar. No good person would go there, and even the police didn’t want to administrate it. 

Joshua, who was in flip-flops and eating sunflower seeds, replied slowly, “Can you not think about women all the time? We’ll go find Easton this time.” 

Hearing the first sentence, Caleb complained in his heart, “What position are you in to scold me when you're sitting by the street to watch some sexy and plump women?” But he was immediately startled by the next sentence that Joshua said. “Joshua, Easton is a drug dealer! What are you looking for him for? Do you want to fight against him because he always flirts with the landlady of Farewell Party? But he has complicated interpersonal relationships. We can’t mess with him!” 

Joshua still looked unbridled. He snapped, “What are you talking about? We’re going to deliver him a message.” 

Caleb heaved a sigh of relief and asked curiously, “What’s that?” 

“Good news.” Joshua smiled and continued, “He will be happy to learn about it.”

Nelson didn’t ask what she had said to Aurora when Charlotte returned to Oswye Community. They both went to bed after taking a shower. Usually, Charlotte would fall asleep as soon as her head landed on the pillow, but this night, she was sleepless. 

Nelson looked at her and asked, “What’s wrong?” 

Charlotte didn’t know that she would crawl over to Nelson and cuddle him in her sleep. Moreover, since Nelson always woke up first, Charlotte still thought she’d been keeping a distance from him when sleeping. She turned over when she heard Nelson’s voice and replied, “I can’t fall asleep.” 

Nelson paused before saying, “Sweety, are you trying to act cute and have me hug you while you sleep?” 

Startled, Charlotte quickly waved her hands and stammered, “No… No… You may go to sleep first. After all, you need to work tomorrow.” 

Nelson gave her a slight "umm" sound. 

Charlotte sighed softly, staring at the ceiling with wide eyes. But gradually, she fell asleep… 

Hearing the steady breathing next to his ear, Nelson smiled blandly. As he’d expected, within a minute, the little girl was wriggling toward him like a caterpillar. She found his arm and held onto it. 

Nelson waited very politely for Charlotte to take his arm before pulling her into his arms. He lowered his head and pecked her cheek, saying in a very soft voice, “Don’t be afraid. I'm here.” 

“No matter what you’ve done, I’ll always back you up. As long as you can be obedient, I can do everything for you,” he added inwardly. 

… 

Charlotte arrived at school a bit late the next day and most of her classmates were already there. Seeing her, Cecilia and Eloise immediately asked, “Char, have you seen the news?” 

Charlotte took the thermos from Nicholas with a helpless look on her face and took a sip of the milk with her eyes closed. Then she asked, “What’s the news?” 

Eloise replied, “It’s about Vivian’s mother being killed in the police station!” 

Charlotte paused and her fingers that were holding the thermos trembled slightly. The thermos almost fell to the ground, but Nicholas timely supported her hand. “Why are you so shocked?” asked he.
