Chapter 50 The Antique

Reagan realized later that she was covered in a cold sweat. She quickly sat back in her seat and dared not to say a word after that.

Cecelia glanced at Charlotte and seemed like she was having some thoughts. After a while, she sneered.

When the class started, Nicholas fell asleep on the table. Charlotte ignored him and listened to the teaching seriously. The only trouble was that the place where Nicholas sat was too cornered, and the person sitting in front of her was a very tall guy. It made it very difficult for her to read the blackboard.

But that was tolerable.

During the third class, Nicholas woke up for a while, probably he got enough sleep. He glanced at Charlotte next to him, and suddenly said, "The one in front."

The backs of the two people who were sitting in front of them stiffened at the same time.

The boy who was sitting in front of Charlotte looked back tremblingly and asked, "Nic... Nicholas, what's the matter?"

Nicholas held his chin and said, "I have something to discuss with you."

The boy looked like he was about to cry and replied, "Nic... Nicholas, please tell me if there is anything I can do for you."

Nicholas smiled and said, "Okay, change your seat with Eloise."

"Huh?" The boy was confused, but he didn't dare to question him. He quickly got up and told Eloise about the change.

In the past, Eloise would never have agreed. But now that Charlotte was sitting next to Nicholas, she was worried about it. After thinking about it, she agreed and changed her seat with that boy.

Seeing someone she knew sat in front of her and she could finally see the blackboard, Charlotte couldn't help but smile.

Nicholas retracted his gaze. No one knew what was he thinking. Without saying anything, he took out his phone and started playing games.

Charlotte now started to feel good about him. She glanced at his mobile phone screen, and whispered, "Hey, you are playing this game too?"

Nicholas raised his eyes, and Eloise cried out inwardly, "Nicholas hates it very much of being interrupted while he is doing something."

Unexpectedly, Nicholas replied calmly, "You play it too?"

Charlotte shook her head. She didn't have time to play games. She had to do house chores after returning home, and she had to serve Vivian and Aurora on call. She didn't even have time to finish her homework. How would there be time for her to play games? She only saw the boys in the class playing it.

Nicholas asked, "Do you want to learn?"

Charlotte answered, "But I can't play it with my mobile phone."

The mobile phone she used was a very old model. It didn't come with other features except for answering calls. Vivian only bought it for her since it would be convenient for her on asking

Charlotte to run errands.

Eloise lay on Charlotte's table and said, "It can't play games? No way! Aren't all smartphones can play games now?"

Charlotte looked for her phone in her schoolbag and showed it to Eloise.

Eloise was shocked, "Oh, my God! This is an antique!"

Charlotte smiled and said, "It's good as long as I can answer calls."

Eloise wanted to ask why, but she felt that question was inappropriate. After all, Charlotte's identity as an illegitimate child was too sensitive. No matter how careless she was, she knew that it wasn't nice to hurt someone's feelings. So, she proposed, "I just changed to a new mobile phone not long ago, and it's only been used for a month. It becomes an idle phone now. What do you think if I give it to you? Then, we can play games together."

Charlotte knew that Eloise was trying to be kind, and most likely she would buy her a new mobile phone. Therefore, she said softly, "No, I'm good. I don't play games."

Eloise glanced at her, smiled, and said, "That makes sense. Of course, a scholar like you must spend all your time on study."

Nicholas stared at Charlotte. No one knew what he was thinking. Then, he casually made four kills and threw his phone into his drawer.

In fact, Eloise didn't know Nicholas very well. She was always afraid of him. After getting closer to him, she felt that Nicholas wasn't as scary as told. She asked, "Nicholas, are you going to the canteen at noon today?""

Srolanya High School's conditions were very good. There are two canteens, which were in two separate buildings. There were various types of food and all of them came with different taste. The dining environment was also very good. Most of the students would eat at the canteen, but some would go home.

Nicholas answered, "Yes."

Eloise continued, "Then, let's go together."

She was mainly afraid that if she went to the canteen with Charlotte, Cecelia's people would make things difficult for them. But if Nicholas was coming with them, Cecelia would be afraid and stand down.

Nicholas smiled and replied lazily, "Okay."

Eloise felt relieved.

There weren't many students in Srolanya High School, and the canteen was huge. So, there were rarely long queues in the canteen. Eloise wanted to eat rice and stir-fried vegetables, Charlotte had no preference for what to eat, and Nicholas didn't care at all. Ended up, the three of them went to the counter with stir-fried meals together.

Along their way, Charlotte could feel that many people were pointing and commenting on her. Fortunately, she was used to it, so it didn't hurt her much.

From some distance, she saw Vivian talking to Cecelia at the Western food counter. Cecelia was smiling.

Vivian had always been good at socializing, and it seemed that she got along well with Cecelia.

Charlotte looked away, turned to Eloise, and whispered, "Eloise, since you friend me... Will you be excluded?"

Eloise replied, "Of course, they will. But that doesn't matter. They dare not to offend me."

Charlotte agreed with her. After all, Eloise was Mr. Colton's cousin.

......

Reagan was humiliated in front of everyone today, and she didn't dare to show it in front of Nicholas. Therefore, she let out of her anger when he wasn't there. She slammed the plates loudly and said angrily, "That's what an illegitimate child will do! Such a seductress! Who is she to make Nicholas speaks up for her?"

Vivian whispered, "Rea... Reagan, don't be angry. My sister is always like that."

Reagan continued, "Only you can bear with her! How much grievance and suffering have you suffered all these years?"

Vivian forced a smile and replied, "It's fine actually. She's my sister after all. I have to be kind to her."

Reagan commented irresponsibly, "Be kind? You can't be kind to a bitch! Don't you see how another bitch, Daisy, is bullying Cecelia?"

With a "snap", Cecelia put down the silver fork in her hand.

Reagan hurriedly said, "Cecilia, I'm sorry! I have talked too much!"

Cecelia said expressionlessly, "That's enough. Let's eat."

Reagan couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice, "Cecelia, are you just letting that illegitimate child go on so arrogantly?"

Cecelia cut the steak slowly, with no expression on her delicate face, she said, "Wait for two days and see Nicholas's attitude towards her after that."

Although Reagan wasn't happy with it, she still nodded. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Vivian asked, "By the way, why didn't Andrew come today?"

Reagan was Andrew's fanatical suitor. Hearing Vivian's words, she immediately felt uncomfortable, and looked at her vigilantly, "How do you know Andrew?"

Vivian said with a smile, "Andrew used to be in Seventh High School. I heard that he is in our class. I'm just curious since I don't see him today."
