Sweet May-December Marriage

An Honest Businessman

Chapter 100 An Honest Businessman

Daphne looked at Waylon in fear.

Waylon still had a smiling expression on his face, and his voice wasn't particularly harsh. On the contrary, it had a hint of indescribable gentleness. "Offending Ms. Lopez is equivalent to offending Mr. Clark. Both of you should inform your families and make preparations as soon as possible. They may soon find themselves sleeping on the streets."

As soon as he finished speaking, he nodded at the school administrators, whose foreheads were dripping with sweat, and then he followed Nelson out of the room.

It was only then that Daphne and Dawson grasped the meaning of Waylon's words, and their faces turned pale.

Daphne cried out, "No! No! Please don't... I'll bear the consequences myself... Please don't drag my family into this..."

Without the Archer family, she would be left with nothing!

However, Waylon had already walked far away.

Mr. Mason looked at her with disgust. "Don't drag your family into this? Your parents brought you into this world but failed to educate you properly. They should take responsibility for it!"

After saying that, he didn't want to linger there any longer. He let out a cold snort and left.

Daphne knelt on the ground in despair. Tears streamed down her face, but no one paid attention to her.

Dawson was blinded by anger. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Daphne and suddenly slapped her. "You despicable bitch!"

Daphne shouted, "What are you doing?"

Dawson went crazy and yanked Daphne's hair "What am I doing? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this mess! It's all because of you! Because of you!"

Daphne was also furious, and the two of them instantly engaged in a fight.

Hearing the commotion from inside, the doctor felt a bit reluctant to go in.

Nelson put Charlotte into the car. His expression remained somewhat gloomy, but his voice was unusually gentle. "Are you still not feeling well?"

Charlotte shook her head. "I'm just a bit dizzy." She cautiously glanced at Nelson and reached out to tug at his clothes. In a gentle voice, she continued, "Mr. Clark, a-are you angry?"

Nelson stared at her and smiled faintly. "What do you think?"

Charlotte cast her gaze downward and muttered, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to trouble you..."

Amused by her, Nelson chuckled. With one hand supporting the backrest of the car seat, he attempted to draw Charlotte into his embrace. There was a glint of profound seriousness in his eyes. "Do you think I'm upset because I have to come to your school today?"

Charlotte's eyes widened, and she tried to move closer to the car window. She bit her pale lips and dared not look into Nelson's eyes. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again..."

Her voice was originally soft, and speaking with such a sobbing tone made it incredibly soothing and captivating.

Nelson squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand to pinch her chin. He noticed a shimmer of tears in her eyes, indicating that she had been greatly frightened. He chuckled scornfully. "I'm angry because you listened to that Dawson. How could you disregard your own health just because you think you're young?"

Charlotte was momentarily stunned. Her eyes filled with unshed tears, yet she managed to hold back her emotions.

She was in a daze for a good while before realizing Nelson's intention. She felt a sudden surge of warmth in her heart. She thought to herself, "Turns out that Mr. Clark wasn't angry because he found me annoying."

She gathered her courage and grasped Nelson's finger. "It's not that I don't cherish my health. I thought you must be occupied and didn't want to disturb you..."

Nelson's voice was cold and indifferent. "Charlotte, I'm your guardian now. It's my responsibility to take care of you no matter what happens. There's no such thing as trouble. If I were worried about trouble, I wouldn't have severed your relationship with Jonathan. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Charlotte stared blankly and asked, "So... you don't find me bothersome?"

There was a hint of wariness in Nelson's eyes. "If I found you bothersome, why would I be here? If something like this happens again..." As he spoke, his finger trailed along Charlotte's delicate skin and moved up to her neck. "I'll break your leg."

Charlotte was at a loss for words.

She started to feel a little frightened.

Nelson took Charlotte to the hospital for an examination. Once the hospital staff learned about the situation, they refrained from asking further questions and promptly arranged for the top doctors to conduct a thorough physical examination for Charlotte. The final conclusion was to take timely measures to minimize further harm and focus on proper recuperation.

Charlotte earnestly studied her medical examination report, and then she secretly glanced at Nelson, finally feeling a sense of relief.

In the past, she always feared that Nelson would despise her for having a weak body and find her burdensome, hard to care for, and not wanting her. It finally put her mind at ease when Nelson looked at the medical report, and his expression showed no sign of annoyance.

She no longer felt any discomfort. She lay on the leather cushion in the backseat when Nelson suddenly spoke. "Stop the car."

After Waylon stopped the car, Nelson casually instructed, "Go buy a cake."

Waylon muttered to himself, "Fine. I'll get used to it. Besides, it's no big deal about a grown man going to a pastry shop."

Without hesitation, Waylon got out of the car. He returned with a box of macarons and presented it to Charlotte. Charlotte couldn't contain her happiness. "Thank you, Mr. Colton."

Nelson said coldly, "I told him to go and buy it."

Waylon was trying very hard not to upset his boss. He hurriedly added, "Right. I used Mr. Clark's card to pay!"

Charlotte turned her head to the side and gave Nelson a gentle smile. "Thank you too."

Nelson casually watched her and stated, "I've already told you. I'm an honest businessman."

Charlotte's face turned slightly red. She held the pastry in her hands, and her eyes blinked a few times as she leaned over to gently kiss Nelson's cheek. Right after that, she turned her head and pretended to enjoy the view outside the window, but her face blushed. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Nelson didn't continue to tease her as he knew she was mentally fatigued. As expected, not long after, Charlotte leaned against the window and fell asleep.

Although the road surface was flat, there were still some bumps in certain areas. When Nelson saw Charlotte's head repeatedly knocking against the window, he clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction. He then reached out and gripped the back of her neck, placing her firmly on his lap.

Charlotte slept deeply and didn't sense anything was wrong. She adjusted to a comfortable position and slept peacefully on Nelson's leg. When they reached their destination, it was Nelson who carried her inside.

They didn't return to the Clarks' mansion. Instead, they went back to Oswye Community where Nelson used to live. Because Charlotte didn't want to stay at the Clarks' mansion, Nelson had instructed the relocation matters early on. At this point, they had almost finished moving.

When Charlotte woke up, it was already 3 p.m., and the sun outside was so bright. She rubbed her eyes to fully awaken and looked at the unfamiliar room in front of her, feeling lost. The next instant, various news about kidnappings, the killing of hostages, and deranged serial killers chasing after young girls quickly flashed through her mind, frightening her to the point where her face turned pale. Without even putting on her shoes, she quickly opened the door and ran out.
