Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 148 Older Man like You

Chapter 148 Older Man like You

The meeting was going smoothly, but suddenly, Nelson got up and left. Everyone assumed there was something urgent, but to their surprise, he returned in a few minutes with a young girl. Though they couldn't see her, her soft and sweet voice clearly indicated she was young.

Nelson just explained, "The girl at home is too noisy, so I punish her to read books."

Everyone was a little disappointed.

They had thought Nelson, who had always been aloof, had finally fallen in love. However, it turned out to be a young relative in his family.

Nonetheless, the voice sounded indeed tender, as if the girl was underage. They couldn't imagine Mr. Clark would stoop so low as to get involved with a minor. They must have got it wrong.

Meanwhile, as she was reading a medical book, Charlotte glanced at Nelson from time to time as he talked to others. His expression remained indifferent, and his voice was cold and stern. He looked so fierce as if he could determine others' life or death at any moment, which was quite intimidating.

Now she understood why many referred to him as a grim reaper. Though legends shouldn't be entirely trusted, there might be some truth to them. Seeing Nelson like this truly sent chills down her spine.

Afraid of provoking him, Charlotte sneaked glances at him until Cora knocked on the door and brought them each a bowl of lotus seed and lily bulb sweet soup. Made from fresh lilies, glutinous rice, honey, and lotus seeds, the soup was tasty and had the benefits of refreshing the mind and nourishing the body. Cora had excellent cooking skills and could strike a perfect balance between

flavor and sweetness, so Charlotte loved all the desserts she made. She quickly finished her bowl. Yet, Nelson's video conference was still not over. He looked at Charlotte and asked, "Are you done eating?"

Charlotte nodded and still held the bowl in her hands looking like a satisfied hamster unwilling to put down the nuts in hands.

Nelson tilted his head slightly and said, "Come here." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Charlotte set the bowl aside and walked over. Nelson covered the laptop's camera and unabashedly said, "This meeting has been going on for so long, and my head hurts. Feed me."

Charlotte didn't know how to respond.

Charlotte hesitated. Couldn't he eat by himself when he had a headache?"

Nelson looked at her and said again, "Little girl, I'm talking to you."

Charlotte glanced at the untouched soup and reluctantly picked it up. Feeding someone was something she was quite familiar with, though she used to feed her grandfather. Now, she was feeding Nelson, which made her nervous.

Nelson stared at her fingers and urged, "Hurry up."

She brought the spoon to his lips. He glanced at it and took a bite.

Charlotte slowly fed him the entire bowl of sweet soup. Just as she was about to put the bowl down, Nelson just said, "Afternoon snack."

Charlotte was surprised but soon realized he was speaking to the people on the conference call. Afraid of disturbing him, she tidied up the bowl and spoon and put them aside for Cora to take them

to the kitchen later.

However, from Nelson's earphones, came the voice of someone on the conference call saying, "Nelson, do you really need a little girl to feed you?"

Nelson calmly replied, "If you want, you can do it too."

The young man on the other end of the line sneered, "Could it be that you want to give my jade to this little girl?"

Nelson retorted, "Speaking of that, why haven't you delivered the jade yet?"

He just responded, "...Let's get back to the meeting and talk about work."

Nelson demanded, "Send it over as soon as possible."

...

Unknowingly, Charlotte curled up on the sofa in Nelson's study and fell asleep. Nelson covered her with a thin blanket and saw that her rosy lips were slightly curled up as if she was having a sweet dream. Suddenly, he bent down and looked at her face. He reached out and touched her lips.

He knew these two petal-like lips were soft and sweet as candy.

With his thumb brushing against her soft lips, he bent down and kissed her cheek. He covered her belly with the blanket again and returned to the meeting.

The meeting lasted for a long time and didn't end until 6 p.m. Charlotte woke up at half past five and slipped out to the garden to check on the vegetables and herbs she planted. Paisley passed by and saw her mumbling to herself while squatting by the field. She couldn't help but laugh, "Char, what are you murmuring about?"

Charlotte turned around and said with a smile, "I'm telling them to grow faster."

Paisley chuckled, "That takes time. They won't grow faster just because you squat next to them. Come on, wash your hands, and get ready for dinner."

Charlotte felt a bit embarrassed and stuck out her tongue. Then she went to wash her hands and had her dinner.

After dinner, Charlotte sat on the sofa reading a book when an unexpected guest arrived at the Oswye Community.

Michael extended his hand and greeted her with a smile, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. Did you miss me?"

Charlotte put down her book and was slightly surprised, asking, "No, I didn't miss you at all. How did you get in?"

Michael seemed taken aback by her response and pouted, "Well, you don't miss me at all, but I've been thinking about hanging out with you."

Charlotte asked curiously, "Where are we going?"

Sitting down beside her, Michael replied as his exquisitely handsome face wore a mischievous smile, "To an amusement park. There's a new one that just opened, and I heard it's fun. There is going to be a themed party tonight."

Charlotte recalled that at Cecilia's birthday banquet yesterday, there was a loaded young man who mentioned that his family newly opened an amusement park which had begun operating. Could it be the same one?

Michael tugged at her sleeve and added, "Even when my girlfriends asked me to take them there, I just turned them all down. But when I invite you, you're still hesitating? Are you that heartless?"

Charlotte was shocked and asked, "Girlfriends? You are still a teenager!"

Michael replied indifferently, "It's the girls who pursued me. If I refuse, more women will offer themselves to me. It's better to be in a few relationships and let them handle these pestering women."

He paused and looked at Charlotte,saying, "Don't tell them the truth. They all know about each other, and they wanted to be with me because they think I have some connection with Mr. Clark."

Charlotte was taken aback. Could relationships work like that?

Michael winked at her and pulled her arm, begging, "Come on, let's go."

Charlotte hesitated, but no one could resist the pleading of such an cute and delicate teenager boy.

Just then, Nelson came downstairs and saw Michael. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Where are you going?"

Michael's back stiffened for a moment, but he quickly turned around and acted brave, saying, "I'm taking Charlotte out to have fun, Commander Clark. You older man never take the young girls out. Charlotte must be bored. Look how caring I am. I'm taking her out myself."

Nelson looked at him coldly.

Michael corrected immediately, "...I mean busy men like you."
