Chapter 44 The Sea


    Chapter 44 The Sea


    Charlotte''s face was as red as a crayfish boiled in water, which was as red as blood.


    She closed the drawer heavily.


    Nelson looked at her back, "What''s wrong? Is the size wrong? I checked it with my eyes..."


    Charlotte interrupted him shyly, "No, there is nothing wrong."


    She was so shy that she didn''t want to talk to him at all. She quickly found a set of pajamas and


    mustered up the courage to take out a set of underwear randomly, then wore it into the clothes.


    Nelson found somethingvender and saidzily, "Baby, I would rather see you in that pink suit."


    Charlotte didn''t know what to say.


    If she were a teapot, there must be smoke on top of her head right now.


    Charlotte felt so shy that she red at Nelson, "Stop talking!"


    It was rare that Nelson was not angry when someone stared at him. Instead, he thought that


    Charlotte''s eyes were bright and moist, which made people happy.


    Charlotte quickly escaped into the bathroom.


    On the washstand, there used to be only one set of toiletries, but now there was another set in


    elegant mint green and the towel was milky yellow. Besides, there were also facial cleanser and


    some skin care products. These items were so well prepared that Charlotte knew they were not


    prepared by Nelson himself.


    Charlotte looked at herself blushing in the mirror and curled her lips.


    She took a shower and put on her pajama which was a suspender dress with a suitable length that


    covered her knees. The light yellow color looked very warm and made her white skin even more


    beautiful.


    Charlotte dried her hair, and when she came out, she found that Nelson had alreadyid down.


    Charlotte consciously put some sheets on the floor. After a night''s sleep, she found that the floor


    bed was actually quitefortable because there was underfloor heating which was warm, and the


    quilt was fluffy and soft.


    Charlotte wrapped herself in the quilt and wondered whether she needed to say good night to


    Nelson, but then she heard Nelson say, "What do your family call you?"


    Charlotte was stunned for a moment. She thought for a while, frowned, and said, "They just...just


    call me Charlotte."


    Or "vixen''s daughter", "illegitimate girl", "losing money", "slut" and so on... Anyway, there were no


    good words, and she didn''t want Nelson to know.


    Nelson turned over, and his voice was a little low, "I mean, what do your mother and your


    grandfather call you?"


    Charlotte thought for a while and said, "They call me Lottie."


    Nelsonughed and said, "Why does your mother like your father so much?"


    Charlotte was silent for a while, then she whispered, "I don''t know..."


    "Lottie." Nelson said suddenly, "Tell me a bedtime story."


    This baby''s name had not been called by anyone for many years. When she heard it suddenly,


    Charlotte straightened her back. She couldn''t help showing a small smile on her face and thought


    that Mr. rk was sometimes quite cute as he even wanted to listen to a bedtime story. Charlotte


    thought for a while, and said, "Then...what kind of story does Mr. rk want to hear?"


    "Anything."


    Charlotte thought for a while. She had actually heard very few bedtime stories. The stories that she


    had heard were all told to her by her mom Madelyn. After her mother passed away, no one told her


    bedtime stories.


    After thinking for a while, she finally remembered one, but she couldn''t remember the name. It


    seemed to be Tree Elf and Snowman.


    Her voice was sweet and slowly echoed in the room, "Once upon a time, in a big forest, there lived


    many, many tree elves. They have lived in the forest and never left..."


    "One winter, when it snowed heavily, a tree elf built a snowman and became friends with the


    snowman."


    "The snowman found that his little friend was always standing alone on the high ce of the tree,


    looking into the distance, so he asked curiously, ''Tree elf, tree elf, what are you looking at?'' "


    "The Tree elf replied, ''I am looking at the sea.'' "


    "The snowman asked, ''Then can you see it?'' "


    "The tree elf said disappointed, ''I can''t see it. But my grandpa tells me that the sea is outside the


    forest. I have never seen the sea and I wish to see it in person.'' "


    "The snowmanforted him, but the tree elf became more and more disappointed. He really


    wanted to see the sea and even ignored his little friend. One day, when the sun came out, the tree


    elf suddenly remembered his friend Snowman, but he couldn''t see it anywhere. The tree elf was


    very anxious. At this time, his grandfather said, ''Look under the tree.'' "


    "So the tree elf looked under the tree, only to find that the ground had beenpletely flooded with


    water. The azure water reflected the light of the sun, which was very beautiful."


    "Then Grandpa Tree said, ''My child, your friend Snowman melted himself and gave you a vast


    ocean. Are you happy to see the sea now?'' "


    "But the tree elf cried and didn''t want to see the sea. He only wanted to find the snowman, but the


    snowman could nevere back."


    Charlotte finished telling the story and nervously waited for Nelson toment, but Nelson had


    already fallen asleep.


    He listened to the soft and sweet voice of the girl in his ear, as if the past swords, bullets, honor and


    betrayal, blood and death had all gone away from him. After so many years, he finally wouldn''t


    wake up at midnight and needn''t find the dagger under his pillow or press it against the neck of the


    person living in his room.


    Charlotte waited but her eyelids were in a fight. Finally, she couldn''t hold on and also fell asleep.


    ...


    The sunlight covered the room. Charlotte opened one eye with a sense of luck, " The rm clock


    hasn''t rung yet and I can sleep a little longer."


    But the next second, she heard the merciless rm.


    Charlotte angrily turned it off and rubbed against the soft nket, "Anyway, it is just seven o''clock,


    and ss is at eight o''clock, so I can sleep for another ten minutes!"


    She had just squinted for less than a minute when the nket on her body was lifted.


    Charlotte felt cold. She quickly opened her eyes and saw Nelson sitting next to her.


    She didn''t react for a moment, holding the nket and closing her eyes again.

    Nelson said slowly, "Charlotte, if you don''t get up to school, I will kiss you now."


    Charlotte suddenly woke up. Her long curly hair flowed behind her, reflecting her snow-white and


    pink face, which was particrly soft and beautiful.


    Nelson raised his eyebrows and reached out to pinch her cheek. He said, "Baby,e here and


    kiss me."


    Charlotte let him pinch her, but he couldn''t kiss her. She looked at him softly and said, "Sir, I have to


    get up and go to school."


    Nelson nodded with a sigh and slowly moved down the hand that pinched her face. He pulled the


    pajama strap that slid onto her arm and then pinched her fair and smooth skin, "Hurry up to eat the


    breakfast."


    Charlotte quickly pulled up her shoulder strap and stood up. While brushing her teeth in the


    bathroom, she suddenly thought that Mr. rk was gentle today.
