Chapter 51 Hug
Reagan felt relieved and said, "He asked for leave because he is not feeling well. He will come tomorrow."
Vivian nodded, took a sip of orange juice, and murmured, "Speaking of which, Andrew and Char have dated before."
Reagan's face distorted when she asked, "What?"
Vivian pretended to be stunned, covered her mouth, and said, "I did not say anything."
Reagan grabbed her hand and said, "I heard it! Vinny, make it clear!"
Vivian looked at her and embarrassedly said, "Fine! But you must promise you won't make trouble for Char."
Reagan suppressed her anger and said, "I promise."
"I don't know how they met because Char barely talks to me. I heard they dated in school. Char had good relationships with other boys, so they quarreled. After Andrew's family warned her about something, he transferred to another school."
Reagan said, "I see. After seducing Andrew, the b*tch messed around with other men!"
Vivian embarrassedly said, "You can't say so. I don't know what exactly happened. Why don't you ask Andrew about it when he comes tomorrow?"
Reagan was fuming with anger and wished she could beat Charlotte, so she said, "There is no need to ask! She is a despicable illegitimate daughter!"
A mocking smile flashed across Vivian's eyes when she pulled Reagan and said, "Reagan, calm down. Let's enjoy the meal!"
...
Nicholas left for business after lunch, so Eloise showed Charlotte around the school.
Arriving at the artificial lake of Srolanya High School, Eloise couldn't help saying, "Char, I'm sorry for asking you to move to Nicholas's side."
Charlotte shook her head, "Never mind. Nicholas is a good person."
Eloise was speechless, thinking no one would agree with her words. But she didn't want to scare her with Nicholas' past deeds. After all, Charlotte looked timid.
Eloise changed the subject and asked, "Is this lake beautiful?"
Charlotte nodded.
Eloise said, "The first principal and founder of Srolanya High School built it for his wife and named it Evening Star. At night, the stars here are beautiful."
Charlotte said, "They must be an affectionate couple."
Eloise nodded, "Yes."
Turning around, she happened to see the wind blowing up Charlotte's long hair around her ears, so she asked, "Char, why do you dress so rustic?"
Mr. Clark had said she was good-looking like this when she had left home this morning. So, she cautiously asked, "Is it ugly?"
Eloise nodded without hesitation.
Charlotte was speechless, thinking her taste was normal. Sure enough, there was something wrong with Mr. Clark.
Eloise reached out to touch Charlotte's hair and said, "Your hair is in tip-top condition. Why are you wearing a middle-aged lady's hairstyle?"
