Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70 The Basketball Match 

The ankle was the most sensitive part for everyone, especially for Charlotte. No one had grasped her ankle before, so only at this moment did she realize that it was a very sensitive part for her. The electricity that penetrated her bones from the skin made her hair stand on end and her heartbeat quicken. 

Nelson exerted some force to drag the pink-skinned little girl out of his quilt. He asked smilingly, “What? Why did you climb into my bed? Do you want to sleep with me?” 

He was still holding her ankle and Charlotte’s face was extremely red. She replied softly in a crying voice, “I… I didn’t…” 

Nelson knitted his brows and turned her around. When seeing the tears in her round, innocent eyes, he asked, “I didn’t say I would punish you. Why are you crying?” 

Charlotte wouldn’t tell him that those were psychological tears because of the stimulation. She took the chance to withdraw her foot, wrapped herself in the quilt, and rolled away. She directly rolled down to her “bed” on the floor and buried her whole body in the quilt. She said in a nasal voice, “I… I’ll sleep.” 

Nelson studied the bulge for a while. Realizing that this little girl would die of embarrassment if he continued to tease her, he suppressed all of his beastlike thoughts and said hypocritically, “Good night.” 

Over the past years, no one had said “good night” to Charlotte. Although she still felt embarrassed, she couldn’t help but curl up her lips into a smile and reply softly, “Good night, Mr. Clark.” 

… 

The next day, Charlotte went to school as usual. 

Probably because Cecilia and Nicholas had told others that Charlotte was under their protection, no one at school dare to discuss Charlotte openly. Although they would talk bad about her behind her back, Charlotte felt this situation was already satisfying. 

As it was Friday today, they didn’t have too many classes. Students in Srolanya High School only had two classes on Friday afternoons, which was a very leisurely schedule. 

Sitting in her chair, Vivian took a glance at Charlotte who was doing homework before her desk. She suddenly asked Reagan who was scrolling posts on Twitter, “Reagan, will you go to see the basketball match this afternoon?” 

Reagan hurriedly nodded when she heard the question and replied, “Of course! Andrew hasn’t come to school for several days and he’ll take part in today’s basketball match. I must go there to cheer him up!” With that, she tossed her phone into the drawer of her desk, and pulled out a red banner with white letters on it and a bunch of glow sticks, saying, “I’ve prepared these things!” 

Vivian was rendered speechless. She then reminded her, “The gymnasium is brightly lit and glow sticks are useless.” 

Reagan waved her hands and replied, “It doesn’t matter. These are my regards to him.” 

Vivian said with a smile, “Cecilia has alienated you recently. Why don’t you invite her to the basketball match?” 

Reagan felt the proposal attractive. 

Probably because Cecilia was in a bad mood, she just ignored Reagan after school yesterday. She didn’t reply to her WhatsApp messages, nor did she answer her calls. Reagan had reflected on it the whole night, but she still couldn’t figure out when she had offended Cecilia. Luckily, when Cecilia came to school today, she told her that she didn’t answer her calls because she was irritated by Daisy, which made her ease a bit. 

Vivian continued, “Moreover, if Cecilia doesn’t go there, the first row will be occupied by those crazy fans of our school’s basketball team and we won’t get good positions. How will Andrew notice you at a glance if you don’t sit in a good position?” 

Reagan agreed when she heard the analysis. She hurriedly walked to Cecilia and asked her about this with a smile. 

Cecilia’s eyes were a bit swollen. Apparently, she had cried before her father last night, but she had recovered herself. She replied, seeming to lack interest, “I won’t go.” 

“Why?” asked Reagan. 

Cecilia took a glance at her and stated, “Do you only have Andrew in your mind? That fucking Anthony is also a member of our school’s basketball team. I don’t want to watch him playing basketball.” 

Reagan didn’t think of this before and immediately felt a bit embarrassed. When she was about to drop the idea, she heard Vivian say, “Cecilia, you can’t always avoid him. If you don’t go, Daisy will get more complacent. But if you go there and sit in the auditorium and watch Anthony playing basketball calmly, it will prove that you don’t care about him anymore. Am I right?” 

Vivian did have a silken tongue. Originally, Cecilia didn’t want to go there at all. However, after hearing Vivian’s words, she was somehow convinced. She asked, “Really?”
