Sweet May-December Marriage novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 My Father is Charlie

Despite having prepared himself, Mr. Mason was still hesitant to speak upon catching sight of that dark figure.

Although Mr. Clark didn't disclose his relationship with Charlotte, becoming her guardian most likely indicated a family connection. When Waylon brought her here, he specifically instructed them to take good care of her. Now that Charlotte had been taken to the infirmary, Mr. Mason could already anticipate Nelson's wrath.

He glanced at Waylon, who nodded in response, and then he greeted, "Mr. Clark..."

Dawson, who was originally filled with curiosity, had just entered the infirmary when he heard those two words. He stood frozen in place, and his mouth remained open.

Mr. Mason, however, paid no attention to him. Instead, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and asked, "Mr. Clark... How is Ms. Lopez?"

Nelson reached out to touch Charlotte's forehead, which remained icy, but at least she had stopped sweating and her body temperature was slowly recovering.

The infirmary was filled with complete silence, and one could even hear a pin drop.

Several school administrators had sweat beads the size of beans rolling down their foreheads. They eagerly desire to kneel before this terrifying figure and ask how to resolve the matter to please the big shot.

Nelson embraced Charlotte, allowing her to rest against him. Sensing the familiar scent, Charlotte obediently snuggled in. At the same time, her tiny hand firmly grasped his clothes.

Nelson's burning anger was slightly quelled. He finally turned his head to glance at Mr. Mason and calmly said, "I heard that it was one of your school's physical education teachers who wanted to trouble my little one."

Mr. Mason's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but think that they indeed have a close relationship. Thus, he hastily pushed Dawson forward and said, "This is the physical education teacher, Dawson..."

Dawson no longer displayed a composed demeanor. He was dumbfounded upon hearing the words "Mr. Clark." He didn't even have the courage to lift his head and immediately knelt on the ground, saying, "M-Mr. Clark..."

Waylon pondered for a moment. "Dawson? The youngest son of Charlie, right?"

Dawson quickly responded, "Y-Yes... My father is..."

Waylon chuckled lightly. "I've heard about Charlie's youngest son working at Srolanya High School, but I didn't expect to see him today."

Although there was no hint of mockery in his words, Dawson's face turned pale in an instant.

Everyone knew he was not academically or athletically capable and only managed to become a physical education teacher at Srolanya High School solely through connections. Waylon's words were clearly aimed at his vulnerable spot.

Without further ado, Waylon continued, "Mr. Clark arrived in a hurry and doesn't know what's going on. Mr. Maddox, would you shed some light on the matter?"

Dawson felt a sense of relief. He thought that Nelson was giving him a chance because of his father. He knew that Charlotte was just an illegitimate daughter and wasn't of much importance. He then hurriedly explained, "Because the students were generally slacking off during physical education class, I made the boys run ten laps and the girls run five laps. Charlotte didn't inform me beforehand that she wasn't feeling well. If I had known in advance, I wouldn't have done so, right?"

Waylon let out a chuckle.

Maverick couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Mr. Maddox, my students witnessed everything. From the very beginning, Charlotte already explained her medical history to you in detail, but you threatened her with calling her parents if she didn't run. She had no choice but to comply. Later, when she couldn't continue anymore, Eloise accompanied her to approach you, but you coldly mocked her, accusing her of faking it and demanding that she complete the run! Otherwise, how could Charlotte end up like this?"
