Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52 Parenting

Nelson pulled her into his arms.

Her body was soft and had the faint orange smell of the shower gel. he rested his chin on her head when hugging her. Then, he sat on the recliner beside the bed and put her on his lap. She felt his warm body temperature and smelt alcohol and cigarettes.

When he buried his head in her neck, his lips brushed against her collarbone, making her shiver.

"Why are you so fragrant and soft?"

Nelson put one hand around her waist and stroked her soft cheek with the other. Then, he pretended to be confused and asked, "What do you drink every day? Floral water?"

His flirtatious words made Charlotte so nervous that she heard it wrong. So, she stammered with a flushing face, "Mr. Clark, I don't drink toilet water!"

She hoped he would not feed her toilet water!

Nelson was speechless. After a pause, his chest vibrated when he let out muffled laughter.

He slowly touched her cheek with his fingers to feel the tenderness and said, "Don't worry, I won't feed you toilet water. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief, thinking the way these big shots tortured people was perverted. Nelson had even attempted to let her drink toilet water! After a narrow escape, she didn't dare to ask for anything, so she obediently said, "I'm fine with everything."

Nelson narrowed his eyes and coaxed her in a deep voice, "Come on! You just need to tell me what you want to eat. I will satisfy you."

Charlotte suddenly blushed for no reason.

She did not dare to look into his dark eyes, so she turned her face aside, bit her lower lip, and said, "Let's eat mutton stew."

It was early spring, so the weather was still cold. Eating hot mutton stew was a great pleasure in life.

The Lopez family often cooked mutton stew in winter to keep out the cold, but they had never given any to her.

The mutton stew was soon ready. The chef of the Clark family was good. Every piece of mutton was in a suitable size and tasted amazing. Mutton had its special odor, so the chef added a small amount of chili to suppress it. It was not very spicy, but Charlotte's taste buds were sensitive. After eating five pieces of mutton, she began fanning her mouth with both hands.

Nelson poured her a glass of iced drink made of Damask rose, chrysanthemum, hawthorn slices, and honey. It was sweet and sour with a floral fragrance, tasting nice. After she took a sip to counter the spiciness, he served her a bowl of mutton soup. And it also tasted delicious.

Charlotte shyly said, "Thank you."

Nelson said, "Why do you always express your gratitude by saying thank you?"

Charlotte was at a loss, so she asked, "What should I do?"

Nelson stretched out one slender finger, wiped a drop of sauce off her lips, and faintly smiled, "You know I'm a businessperson."

Charlotte nodded. She of course knew he was a businessperson.
