Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Eating Candies

Eloise looked at Charlotte and then at Andrew. Even someone as foolish as her could understand that there was something unusual between these two. She was about to say something when suddenly a slender white hand grabbed Charlotte's wrist, forcing her to open her palm. Charlotte looked up in confusion and saw Nicholas expressionlessly placing a White milk candy in her hand. Without even glancing at Andrew, he said, "Do you want some candy?"

Charlotte lowered her eyelashes and nodded.

Nicholas suddenly smiled, and then he slowly turned to Andrew with a faint smile appearing on his face. Even though there was no warmth in that smile, he said, "Mr. Clark, the game is about to start."

Andrew pursed his lips, cast a deep glance at Charlotte, and then walked away.

As he returned to the court, the entire basketball court erupted into a deafening scream.

Eloise looked at Charlotte with concern, "Char...What's your relationship with Mr. Clark?"

Charlotte forced a smile and didn't know how to explain her complicated relationship with Andrew.

Nicholas lazily leaned back in his seat and said, "If you don't want to say, then don't."

Charlotte shook her head and replied, "There's nothing to hide. We used to go to the same school and were in the same class. Andrew took good care of me."

Nicholas suddenly glanced at her with a slightly strange look in his eyes and said, "So, did you fall in love with each other?"

Charlotte couldn't say these things in front of Nelson, but she find it relaxing to say to others. She smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, now that when I think about it, my love for Andrew was like...gratitude towards a lifesaver."

Eloise said, "...Char, your metaphor is a bit wicked. A lifesaver?!"

Charlotte didn't want to talk about the past anymore and just smiled.

Anyway, all those past memories became distant and unattainable with that check.

Somehow, there was a hint of warmth in Nicholas's cold eyes. He casually took out a few more candies from his pocket and put them in Charlotte's fair palm, "Here, all for you."

Charlotte said, "Thank you, but why do you have so many candies? Do you have hypoglycemia?"

Nicholas chuckled teasingly, "To quit smoking."

Charlotte was speechless.

Eloise pouted, "What about me? Do I have candies? Nicholas, you're showing favoritism to Char!"

Nicholas glanced at her, "How old are you? Do you still need candies?"

Eloise said, "I'm the same age as Char!"

Nicholas laughed, "Nonsense, she's still half a year away from turning eighteen. She's still a kid."

Eloise doubted, "How do you know that?"

"I overheard your conversation," Nicholas said, extending his slender fingers and making a twirling motion near his ears, like a buzzing bee, "You disturbed my sleep."

Eloise didn't know what to say next.

Cecilia turned around her eyes and suddenly asked, "Charlotte, what's your relationship with Andrew now?"

"No relationship," Charlotte absentmindedly started twirling her finger in circles and said, "I just don't know why he still thinks I'm interested in him."
