Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Good-for-nothing 

Charlotte and Eloise met at the school gate, so they walked in together. People pointed at Charlotte along the way. Eloise tried to scold them. But because of the increasing number of people, she soon couldn't handle it. 

Charlotte grabbed her wrist and said, "Calm down! I'm not angry. But you look like an angry bird." 

"They are slandering you! Why aren't you mad at them?" Eloise said while incomprehensibly looking at her. 

Charlotte smiled. She had been a little angry when Vivian had sent her the post slandering her as a kept woman. But when Nelson had said he wanted to make their relationship public, she had been scared and stopped being angry. Everyone had the right to speak, so she could not force them to shut up, right? 

"It's OK. I'm used to it." She took Eloise's hand and said, "When people scolded me in the past, I was alone. But you're by my side now. So, I'm happy. Besides, what they said is not true. I didn't do it, so I won't take their words to my heart.” 

Eloise felt sad, so she sniffed and said, "Don't worry! I will always support you!" 

Charlotte nodded. 

Soon, they entered the classroom together. As soon as Reagan and the others saw Charlotte, they began to mock her. But Charlotte ignored them. 

They did not shut up until Nicholas entered the classroom. He sat down, took out a glass bottle of milk from his schoolbag, and put it on Charlotte's desk, saying, "Drink it, and you will grow tall." 

Charlotte was speechless. She gloomily bit her lower lip but still picked it up. Feeling it was warm, she said in a faint voice, "Thank you." 

He smiled, "You're welcome." 

His eyes looked vivid and beautiful when he said, "This is my special care for the dwarf." 

Charlotte was at a loss for words. Because of the presence of Nicholas and Eloise, no one dared to make trouble for her. Nicholas heard those rumors during the break, so he asked, "Why do those people always suspect you have a sugar daddy?" 

Charlotte was working on a multiple-choice question. When she bit the tip of her pen, she remembered Nelson had said, "Choose the shortest option if the other three are long. Choose the longest if the other three are short. If all the options have the same length, choose C." 

Hearing Nicholas's words, she said, "Maybe they watched too many soap operas." 

Nicholas laughed, raised his arm, and put it on the back of her chair. Charlotte didn't bother to stop him but hesitantly chose "C". 

He sat cross-legged and leaned back in the chair in a relaxed posture, saying, "Charlotte, you don't need to go to college. What are you working so hard for? Even if you win the first place, you won't get a scholarship.” 

Charlotte paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "Do you think passing the college entrance examination is the purpose of studying?" 

Nicholas smiled, "I am not studying to enter the university." 

He raised his eyebrows and continued, "Even if I got a zero on the exam, the Bennett family will still let me go to the best university." 

He touched his chin and kicked Eloise's chair, asking, "What do you think people study for?" 

Eloise pondered for a while and said, "Well, most ordinary high school students study for the university entrance exam." 

Charlotte smiled, "What is the purpose of going to college?"
