Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 60 Good-for-nothing

Chapter 60 Good-for-nothing

Charlotte and Eloise met at the school gate, so they walked in together. People pointed at Charlotte along the way. Eloise tried to scold them. But because of the increasing number of people, she soon couldn't handle it.

Charlotte grabbed her wrist and said, "Calm down! I'm not angry. But you look like an angry bird."

"They are slandering you! Why aren't you mad at them?" Eloise said while incomprehensibly looking at her.

Charlotte smiled. She had been a little angry when Vivian had sent her the post slandering her as a kept woman. But when Nelson had said he wanted to make their relationship public, she had been scared and stopped being angry. Everyone had the right to speak, so she could not force them to shut up, right?

"It's OK. I'm used to it." She took Eloise's hand and said, "When people scolded me in the past, I was alone. But you're by my side now. So, I'm happy. Besides, what they said is not true. I didn't do it, so I won't take their words to my heart.”

Eloise felt sad, so she sniffed and said, "Don't worry! I will always support you!"

Charlotte nodded.

Soon, they entered the classroom together. As soon as Reagan and the others saw Charlotte, they began to mock her. But Charlotte ignored them.

They did not shut up until Nicholas entered the classroom. He sat down, took out a glass bottle of milk from his schoolbag, and put it on Charlotte's desk, saying, "Drink it, and you will grow tall."

Charlotte was speechless. She gloomily bit her lower lip but still picked it up. Feeling it was warm, she said in a faint voice, "Thank you."

He smiled, "You're welcome." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

His eyes looked vivid and beautiful when he said, "This is my special care for the dwarf."

Charlotte was at a loss for words. Because of the presence of Nicholas and Eloise, no one dared to make trouble for her. Nicholas heard those rumors during the break, so he asked, "Why do those people always suspect you have a sugar daddy?"

Charlotte was working on a multiple-choice question. When she bit the tip of her pen, she remembered Nelson had said, "Choose the shortest option if the other three are long. Choose the longest if the other three are short. If all the options have the same length, choose C."

Hearing Nicholas's words, she said, "Maybe they watched too many soap operas."

Nicholas laughed, raised his arm, and put it on the back of her chair. Charlotte didn't bother to stop him but hesitantly chose "C".

He sat cross-legged and leaned back in the chair in a relaxed posture, saying, "Charlotte, you don't need to go to college. What are you working so hard for? Even if you win the first place, you won't get a scholarship.”

Charlotte paused, turned to look at him, and asked, "Do you think passing the college entrance examination is the purpose of studying?"

Nicholas smiled, "I am not studying to enter the university."

He raised his eyebrows and continued, "Even if I got a zero on the exam, the Bennett family will still let me go to the best university."

He touched his chin and kicked Eloise's chair, asking, "What do you think people study for?"

Eloise pondered for a while and said, "Well, most ordinary high school students study for the university entrance exam."

Charlotte smiled, "What is the purpose of going to college?"

Eloise replied, "A good college can help them find a good job, support their families, and give their children better educations."

Charlotte asked, "And then?"

Eloise was amused and said, "Then, their children will continue to study for the college entrance examination! It is a cycle!"

Charlotte put down the pen with a soft smile. Even though the black-rimmed glasses covered Charlotte's astonishing beauty, Eloise still felt a palpitation in the depths of her soul.

Charlotte lightly said, "I study hard to better understand the world."

Eloise froze.

Charlotte smiled, "Class will begin soon. Let's get ready."

Nicholas thoughtfully looked at her and smiled, "I did not expect you to be so insightful."

Charlotte put away her math exercise book without replying.

At noon, Charlotte and Eloise had beef stew in the cafeteria. It was so delicious that they both ate a lot. Then, they headed for a place with a few people for a walk. Eloise felt thirsty on the way. When she went to buy water, Charlotte wandered around the place where they had separated. Before she could finish a circle, she suddenly heard a girl crying in the orchard nearby.

She took a few steps forward and saw a petite girl sadly weeping. She sobbed, "Sis, did I offend you? Can you tell me why? I will correct my mistakes."

Charlotte slightly raised her eyebrows and looked towards the so-called "sis", only to see her acquaintance Cecilia.

Cecilia sullenly stared at the crying girl and said, "Daisy, I feel sick to see you. And I hope you get out of my house."

Daisy...

Charlotte thought for a while and recalled Eloise had mentioned this name when gossiping about the Wesley family's illegitimate daughter! Cecilia hated illegitimate daughters so much because of her half-sister Daisy.

Hearing Cecilia's words, Daisy cried even worse.

Cecilia sneered, "You don't need to act in front of me. I know your true color. You can only play such tricks to coax your father."

Seeing no one around, Daisy instantly stopped crying and even smiled, "Fine, I don't want to waste tears on you either. I will not beat around the bush. I hope you can be sensible and take the initiative to cancel the engagement with Anthony. Otherwise, I would make everyone hate you!"

Charlotte was shocked because it was the first time she had seen a person change face so quickly.

Cecilia flew into a rage and said, "Daisy, I've long known you are greedy. But I did not expect you to covet Anthony!"

Daisy chuckled, "Anthony is good-looking. He has a good temper and a good family background. Do you think you deserve such a good man? Cecilia, if you had not hindered me, I would have long

become the second lady of the Wesley family! You harm me first, so you can't blame to for seeking revenge!"

Cecilia's eyes turned red with anger when she said, "Your mother is just a lowly slut! How could she have the nerve to attempt to take my mother's place? Neither she nor you deserve it!"

"I don't deserve it?"

Daisy sized her up and continued, "Apart from your family background and face, you're inferior to me in every aspect! You are a spoiled good-for-nothing! If you were not Ms. Wesley, you would be a piece of trash!"

While speaking, she didn't intend to hide the malice in her smile.
