Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 49 The Apology

Chapter 49 The Apology

Everyone stared at Charlotte and waited for Nicholas's next step to ask her to get out of Srolanya High School. After all, everyone in Srolanya High School knew that Nicholas's temper was horrible.

But surprisingly, Nicholas just squinted his eyes when he heard Charlotte's stammering voice, and asked in a calm voice, "What's your name?"

Charlotte told him her name.

Nicholas suddenly smiled, grabbed the back of Charlotte's neck, and pulled her over to him. He smiled and said, "Charlotte, are you willing to sit next to me?"

Charlotte was surprised, "Huh?"

Everyone was in shock.

They thought to themselves, "What? Shouldn't you kick her out of the school now? Why are you making such a strange invitation? Wake up!"

But obviously, Nicholas wasn't in the right mind at all. He looked at Charlotte, who seemed to be in a daze and he pulled the thick black-rimmed glasses on her nose with great interest. He asked, "You aren't short-sighted. What do you wear glasses for?"

Charlotte was at a loss, "How... How do you know that I'm not short-sighted?"

Nicholas didn't reply to her but smiled. His expression brightened up, as if the person who was with a gloomy face and wanted to kill someone just now, wasn't him at all.

Reagan was confused with the development of the incident. She boldly said, "Nicholas... Charlotte is an illegitimate child!"

Nicholas glanced at her, and Reagan became silent instantly.

Then, Nicholas smiled gently and said, "What's wrong with an illegitimate child? It's not that she wants to be an illegitimate child."

He put his arm on Charlotte's shoulder and asked, "Isn't it, new classmate?"

If Charlotte heard that earlier, she must be touched. But now... There was an indescribably weird feeling.

The handsome young man in front of her seemed to have put on a guise. He looked smiley, but there was monstrous darkness in his heart.

That made her scared.

Seeing that Charlotte didn't speak, Nicholas frowned and pinched her cheek, "Are you a mute?"

Charlotte responded, "It... It hurts."

Then, Nicholas laughed again and said, "Be my desk mate. You can see that everyone excludes me, and no one wants to sit with me. I'm lonely."

Everyone was speechless and thought to themself, "Nicholas, what the fuck are you talking about? You are the one who wants to sit alone!"

But no one dared to say that.

Charlotte glanced at Eloise subconsciously, and Eloise shook her head desperately at her. Then, Nicholas asked with a smile, "Eloise, is there something wrong with your neck? Why are you keep

shaking it back and forth?"

Eloise didn't know what to say. She reluctantly put a smile on her face and replied, "I... I just simply shake it."

Nicholas still looked at her with a smile.

Eloise thought to herself, "Char, it's not that I'm not loyal to you as a friend, but Nicholas is a pervert. There's nothing I can do about it!"

After that, she put all the books that Charlotte hadn't had time to tidy up on the desk next to Nicholas while saying, "Char, you should be caring for the classmate without friends! Nicholas has never had a deskmate! He is such a poor thing!"

Charlotte didn't look convinced and asked, " Is... Is it?"

"Yes. Yes." Eloise said against her will, "You have to help Nicholas with his homework!"

Charlotte was speechless.

Nicholas pulled Charlotte over and said, "Come here. Sit down."

A few girls headed by Reagan returned to their senses from being shocked and winked at each other. Then, Reagan said in a low voice, "Nicholas, what are you trying to do?"

A girl said, "Could... Could it be that he wants to torture her and therefore he wants her to sit next to him? That's something Nicholas will do."

Reagan agreed with her after she thought about it. Everyone knew that Nicholas's temper was horrible. They would rather believe that he came up with a new way to torture her on a whim than that he wanted to save Charlotte out of kindness.

If that was the case, they couldn't intervene.

After Charlotte sat next to Nicholas, she saw that his desk was clean and there was no book at all. Obviously, he wasn't listening attentively in the class. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Do I need to notify the teacher since I changed the seat?"

"No." Nicholas seemed to be in a good mood. Compared with the person who kicked the chair just now, he looked like a different person now. He continued, "The class teacher doesn't care about this."

He paused, looked at Charlotte thoroughly, and asked, "Are you a Southerner?"

Charlotte's voice was soft and weak. It was like the sweet and soft pastry in the misty rain in the South. That was the usual tone used in the South. She nodded. "Yeah."

Nicholas smiled and said, "My mother is also from the South, and her voice is a bit like yours. But she isn't as soft as you."

Charlotte didn't know what to say. Her face blushed and she replied, "I... I'm not soft. It's innate."

When she was in Seventh High School, many girls liked to use her voice to humiliate her. They excused her by saying that she was trying to seduce men with her voice deliberately.

"Oh, it's innate." Nicholas raised his eyebrows, the little mole in the socket of his eye was very beautiful, "I just heard they said that you are having a sugar daddy. How much is he paying you?"

Charlotte's face turned pale, and she closed her eyes, "I... I am not."

Nicholas said, "I see. You aren't."

The next second, Nicholas raised his eyes and said lazily, "Reagan."

Reagan's back stiffened. She turned her head in slow motion and asked, "Nic... Nicholas, what's the matter?"

Nicholas casually picked up one of Charlotte's gel pens and played with it. His sleepy eyes looked harsh and he said, "Our new classmate said that she doesn't have a sugar daddy. Since you are the one who makes up the rumor, shouldn't you apologize?"

Reagan was stunned.

Everyone was shocked.

Charlotte was also stunned. She stared cluelessly at Nicholas.

Reagan told to herself, "He just...believes her when she said she doesn't have one?"

Reagan laughed awkwardly and replied, "Nicholas, I am just telling the truth. Look at the clothes on her now. It costs six figures. Where does she get so much money?"

The smile on Nicholas's face was still there, and he said gently, "I ask you to apologize, don't you hear me?"

Reagan's face turned pale with fright and she squeezed her fist fiercely. After all, she didn't dare to offend Nicholas. She hold onto her anger and apologized to Charlotte, "I'm... I'm sorry. I shouldn't slander you."

Charlotte was at a loss. She had been bullied a lot before, but none of them had apologized to her.

For a while, she didn't know how she should respond.

The gel pen was twirled by Nicholas's fingers, and his voice was light, "The new classmate doesn't seem to forgive you. Reagan, would it be your apology too insincere?"

Charlotte hurriedly said, "No... I just..." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Reagan gritted her teeth very hard and repeatedly cursed Charlotte as a bitch dozens of times in her heart. Then, she took a deep breath, and said, "Charlotte... I'm sorry. It's my fault, I shouldn't slander you, I shouldn't talk about speculative things. Please forgive me!"

Charlotte sighed slightly and replied, "Please... Please don't do this anymore in the future."

Reagan was enraged.

She thought to herself, "Fuck you! Look at your arrogant face!"

But in front of Nicholas, she could only shrink her head like a turtle and answered timidly, "I... I got it."

Nicholas continued, "We are classmates and we should love each other. This time the new classmate forgives you. Next time..." There was a playful smile on his face, "It may be different."
