Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 73 Eating Candies

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."

Cecilia sneered with a trace of mockery appearing on her beautiful face. She said, "Andrew is quite good in every aspect and doesn't fool around, but he's indecisive and can't be firm. Perhaps because he's been praised too much, he always feels good about himself. If he continues to pester you, let me know, and I'll deal with him."

Nicholas glanced at Cecilia with a smile and said, "Hmm, Cecilia is not smart, but she has a strong body. Andrew may not be her match."

Cecilia wasn't angry but sarcastically quipped, "How about you? A computer-programming geeks who sit in front of computers all day."

Eloise was speechless.

Being sandwiched between two big shots while they verbally sparred was really frightening. Eloise was afraid that they would fight soon.

What Cecilia did not notice was that Reagan, who sat next to her, showed angry expressions when Andrew walked towards Charlotte. If it weren't for Vivian pressing her down, she would have already rushed over to curse at Charlotte.

Vivian whispered, "Reagan, calm down. Cecilia likes Char now. If you rush over, she won't help you."

Reagan's eyes were red with anger, "Then what should I do? Just watch? Why? Why would Andrew be interested in such an ugly girl?"

Vivian also sneered in her heart.

She also wanted to know why.

Charlotte dressed ugly, but why did people constantly circle around her?

A cold light flashed in Vivian's eyes, and she softly said to Reagan, "Reagan, don't be angry. There are so many fans of Andrew. Charlotte will definitely be bullied by them. After all, she is my sister. Just don't argue with her this time, okay?"

Reagan paused.

She thought, "Yes, Andrew has so many admirers, all of whom are so much better than Charlotte. How can he be blind enough to choose Charlotte? Even with Cecilia and Nicholas protecting her, she would still have a hard time in school. I just need to do nothing but ruin her reputation..."

"Under heavy public opinion, will Andrew still be with Charlotte?"

Vivian continued to persuade her, "Moreover, Char has already rejected Andrew. They're impossible to be together."

"Rejected?!" Reagan grabbed Vivian's arm, "Why?"

Would Charlotte refuse the opportunity that came to her door?

Vivian's expression became strange, and she coughed and said, "My sister's private life is a bit promiscuous. Judging from her recent behavior, she probably found a wealthy boyfriend..."

"What boyfriend?" Reagan sneered, "Isn't it just a sugar daddy? It seems that her man is quite wealthy, otherwise, she wouldn't have rejected Andrew...We are friends, aren't we, Vinny?"

Vivian quickly replied innocently, "Of course we are!"

Reagan's voice suddenly became low, "Then tell me, do you have any evidence of Charlotte messing around?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"I... How could I have any?" Vivian's eyes shifted. She grabbed Reagan's arm, looking around anxiously, "Alright, the game is about to start..."

"Vivian!" Reagan stared into Vivian's eyes, "You definitely have!"

Vivian bit her lip, "I..."

"Vinny!"

Vivian finally sighed and said with some hesitation, "I do have a few photos. They were taken by a small thug who was blackmailing us. My mom, in order to protect Char's face, paid him off and bought the photos. The original copies are with me."

Reagan's eyes lit up, "What kind of photos?"

Vivian's face looked embarrassed, and she whispered, "Intimate photos on a bed."
