Chapter 123 Treated Me Like I Am Her Father


    Chapter 123 Treated Me Like I Am Her Father


    Charlotte moved her fingers slightly, "Uh... Mr. rk, my hand hurts."


    Nelson nced at her fair and tender fingers and finally showed some mercy. He took the fruit knife


    from her hand and helped her open the parcel.


    Charlotte stared nkly at his actions.


    That man seemed to be extremely skilled with knives. Even though he was only opening the parcel


    with a knife, he did it in one swift motion, without any hesitation. His movements were precise and


    elegant and carried a hint of gracefulness.


    The knife that could pierce someone''s heart and take lives seemed to transform into an exquisite


    work of art in his hands, so beautiful that it went beyond words.


    They bought many things for the puppy. Like, a dog bed, dog food, grooming cream, dog toys, and


    dog snacks... Nelson quickly unpacked everything while Cora was keeping the cardboard boxes


    away. Charlotte unwrapped the packaging of those items.


    The dog bed for the little puppy was not big, made of pink, blue, and white woven ropes. It looked


    utterly adorable. Charlotte even found a few pieces of small clothes for the dog to wear, as well as a


    dog name tag!


    Charlotte looked at Nelson with shining eyes, "Mr. rk, who prepared all of this?"


    Nelson casually said one of the names of his subordinate.


    Charlotte responded, "He''s so thoughtful!"


    Nelson felt displeased and shamelessly said, "But I was the one who instructed him to do so."


    Charlotte paused and added, "Mr. rk is also very kind."


    Nelson felt satisfied and picked up the dog name tag, looking at it, "What name are you nning to


    give the dog?"


    "Magnolia," Charlotte said without hesitation, "My mom once said she wanted to have a pet named


    Magnolia. But her health was not good, so she couldn''t keep a pet, and she never got one."


    Nelson looked at the name tag in his hand, "I''ll have someone engrave it for you."


    Charlotte nodded.


    Cora took the dog''s name tag with a smile and said, "My daughter is good at this. I''ll take it back


    today and have her do it. It will be ready by tomorrow."


    Charlotte smiled and said thank you.


    After they organized the items for the little puppy, Charlotte was quite tired.


    Magnolia curled up on the couch, sleeping soundly. It was a small and fragile bundle, with a posture


    that clearly showed ack of security. Nelson suddenly remarked, "You sleep in the same way too."


    Charlotte was taken aback, "Me?"


    Nelson nodded.


    Charlotte continued, "We must have a strong connection."


    With his long legs and arms, Nelson sitting cross-legged on the floor exuded a sense of elegance.


    Charlotte looked at the prominent corbones and asked curiously, "Mr. rk, is car racing fun?"Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    Nelson hesitated for a moment, "It''s okay."


    When he was younger, he enjoyed it, but in recent years, he hadn''t engaged in it for a long time.


    Charlotte nodded as if she understood.


    Nelson stood up and pulled Charlotte up, "Let''s wash our hands and eat."


    Charlotte obediently went to the restroom, and Nelson followed her leisurely. He was quite tall, and


    his imposing presence made Charlotte feel like she was walking alone in a forest at night, being


    watched by a wolf.


    She turned on the tap to wash her hands, and Nelson washed his hands next to her. Charlotte tilted


    her head to take a look at him. Nelson''s fingers were slender, fair, and exquisitely shaped. They


    seemed to have defeated countless hand models and looked extremely pleasing under the light.


    He calmly squeezed some hand soap and washed his hands in aposed manner. Charlotte


    looked at his profile, where she could see his long and delicate eyshes, gently fluttering...


    "Ah!" Suddenly, her face felt cool, and Charlotte eximed. Then, she stared at the culprit.


    The culprit had a handful of soap bubbles and patted her cheek, saying, "What are you looking at?


    Admiring my handsomeness?"


    Charlotte''s fair and tender face was covered in bubbles, looking somewhat foolish. Her eyes were


    misty due to the recent shock, and yet there was a touch of enchantment, making her irresistibly


    charming.


    She took two steps back and said softly, "No... No!"


    Nelson leaned to her closer, "Really, none at all?"


    Charlotte''s face slowly turned red, she bit her lip, and said "Really, none at all..."


    "But I did." His voice was hoarse, "May I kiss you?"


    "No... Mmm!"


    She couldn''t finish her sentence before he blocked her, leaving her unable to say anything.


    Nelson domineeringly suppressed all her words, making her only able to swallow them down her


    throat.


    Charlotte widened her eyes, looking at Nelson''s erged face in fear. People used to say that


    distance made things more beautiful, but even at such a close distance, that man was still incredibly


    attractive. He was emanating a hormone-inducing aura that made her blush and her heart raced.


    "Why are you keeping your eyes open?" Nelson whispered against her lips, his husky voice


    sounding unbelievably enticing. "Be a good girl, open your mouth."


    Charlotte didn''t know how to respond.


    "Ah, ah, ah! I don''t want it! Mr. rk, you are such a shameless hooligan!"


    Charlotte didn''t know where she got the strength, but she pushed Nelson away. Despite using all


    her effort, all she managed was to make him take a small step back. She was still surrounded by


    Nelson''s aura as if she was trapped in the territory of a wild beast. No matter where she tried to


    escape, that ferocious predator could always find her.


    Charlotte kept her head down. She was too afraid to look at Nelson. She hurriedly walked away,


    and almost bumped into Cora, who hade to call them for dinner. Cora said, "Ms... Ms. Lopez,


    it''s time for dinner."


    Only then did Charlotte stop her sprint to her own room and listlessly went to the dining room.


    Nelson leaned against the wall in the restroom while watching her flee. He let out a pleasedugh,


    slowly took a tissue, and walked behind Charlotte''s chair.


    Charlotte was like a frightened bird, wary as she looked at him, "What... What are you doing?"


    Nelson ced one hand on the back of her chair and pressed the tissue on her face. He teased,


    "There''s still foam on your face. Why did you go out without washing it off? You aren''t a well-


    behaved girl, aren''t you?"


    Unaware of the situation, Paisley asked, "How did you get those foams on your face?"


    Nelson said matter-of-factly, "Exactly. She''s a grown-up but still doesn''t know how to take care of


    herself."


    Charlotte muttered, "Who... Who was the one who did it in the first ce?"


    Nelson acted as if he wasn''t the one and lectured Charlotte, "Don''t do that again in the future."


    Charlotte replied, "Got... Got it."


    Dinner was sumptuous, but Charlotte couldn''t taste anything probably as she was lost in her


    thought. After Magnolia woke up, it followed the scent to find Charlotte. She was about to put down


    her chopsticks, so she went to get dog food for Magnolia.


    Imported dog food turned out worth every penny. Magnolia showed no signs of being picky, happily


    enjoying the meal. Charlotte squatted beside it and watched it eat. She reached out and touched its


    head, sighing with a hint of sadness, "I treat Mr. rk like my father, but he doesn''t even care about


    me... Magnolia, do you think I''m overthinking? Maybe he doesn''t need me to be good to him."


    Magnolia barked, "Woof! Woof!"


    Charlotte continued, "Okay, I forgot you can''t understand me."


    Charlotte watched Magnolia finish its food and yed with it for a while before finally going upstairs


    to change her clothes.
