Chapter 147 nting Is Rxing
Charlotte shook her head in confusion.
Paisley said, "He must have forgotten to mention it."
Charlotte asked in disbelief, "How can someone forget something like this?"
Paisley knew what she was thinking and reassured her, "Char, you don''t need to feel embarrassed.
As for Mr. rk, I won''t im to understand himpletely, but his habits can reveal a lot about
him. When he likes someone, he showers them with gifts...I know now girls like you have strong
self-esteem, but when Mr. rk gives you a house, it''s as casual as giving a candy. It''s no big deal.
Do you understand?"
Charlotte stammered, "I... I don''t quite understand..."
Could a house really equal a candy? And this was a house in Oswye Community! It was the kind of
house that even money couldn''t buy!
However, Paisley seemed ustomed to Nelson''s extravagant gestures and said, "Char, don''t feel
pressured. Whatever he gives you, just ept it gracefully. If you refuse, he might feel insecure."
Charlotte nodded, yet still feeling a bit dazed.
Were rich people really so willful? If someone rejected their gifts, they''d feel unloved?
Paisley continued, "If you want to grow medicinal herbs, I''ll have someone cultivate thisnd for
you."
Charlotte asked, "Can I also grow some cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and eggnts?"
Paisley looked at the precious flowers and nts in the courtyard but said calmly, "Of course you
can. I''ll have someone buy the seeds and nt for you."
Charlotte said, "Just buy the seeds. I can nt them myself. Do you have any farming tools?"
After thinking for a while, Paisley replied, "Yes. Wait a minute. I''ll go get them."
When Nelson and Waylon returned, they saw Charlotte wearing a pair of candy-colored shorts and
toiling in the garden, her fair-skinned legs covered in mud.
Waylon asked Paisley, "What is Ms. Lopez nting?"
Paisley coughed, "Char wants to grow some herbs and vegetables."
Waylon felt like he must have misheard. Growing herbs was eptable, as it sounded fancy.
But...vegetables? He couldn''t imagine a scene of cabbage nted in the magnificent courtyard of
Oswye Community!
He looked at Nelson and saw him watching Charlotte digging with evident interest. Nelson slowly
walked over to Charlotte and asked, "What vegetables are you nning to grow?"
Charlotte was surprised to see him and asked, "Why did youe back so early?"
Nelson replied, "I''m back for lunch."
Charlotte believed him without a second thought. Holding a small hoe, she said, "I want to grow
many things, like eggnts, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, zhinis, celeries, and carrots..."
Nelson looked at her face, smooth and delicate without any blemishes in the sunlight, and nced
at the piece ofnd she had dug. He asked, "You want to grow so many things. Is this small piece of
land enough?"
Charlotte looked at the patch which was about 100 square feet. It should be sufficient for growing
vegetables, but if she wanted to grow medicinal herbs too, it might be too small. She pinched her
nose but forgot her hands were muddy, which smeared her nose with dirt. Unaware of that, she
said, "Then I can give up nting bell peppers and cucumbers..."
Nelson said, "It''s okay. You can grow everything you want." He turned to Waylon and said, "Have
someone get rid of all these flowers and nts in the courtyard. This space will be used for her to
grow vegetables."
Waylon was speechless. Was he serious? This courtyard was designed by a renowned gardening
artist, and all these flowers and nts were extremely precious! Even if he didn''t care, did he really
want to turn this beautiful garden into a vegetable patch?
Charlotte was taken aback for a moment and when she was about to say something, Nelson
furrowed his eyebrows slightly and said, "Never mind. Just cultivate a smallernd." This courtyard
was quiterge, and if they dug the entirend for Charlotte to nt vegetables, she would be
exhausted, and he wouldn''t enjoy seeing a tired little girl.
Waylon let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it seemed like Mr. rk was still rational.
If Mr. Colton knew what was on Nelson''s mind, he would be speechless.
Nelson stood beneath a cherry blossom tree with one hand in his pocket, and the other signaling to
Charlotte. He said, "Come here, little girl."
Charlotte''s heart unexpectedly skipped a beat as she gazed at Nelson''s exquisite face under the
sunlight. Somehow she felt there were butterflies in her stomach.
She pursed her lips, put down the small hoe, and walked over to Nelson.
As he leaned closer to her, his breath entwining with hers for a moment. Charlotte flushed, for she
almost thought that Nelson would kiss her right then and there.
"Mr. rk..." Charlotte said in a sweet and gentle voice, "you..."
Nelson raised his eyebrow as he saw her red ears and asked, "What''s the matter?"
Charlotte lifted her head and was about to reject his intimate gesture in front of others. However,
before she could say anything, Nelson''s hand gently brushed away some dirt from her nose and
teased her with a smile, "You have some mud here."

Charlotte was awkward.
She puffed her cheeks, feeling a bit annoyed, and said, "Thank you."
Nelson was in a good mood and added, "Co ahead."
Charlotte was speechless.
In the end, with the help of Waylon and Paisley, Charlotte was able to cultivate and of about 100
square feet in the garden, where she could nt the vegetables and herbs she desired. After this
was done, lunch cooked by Cora was also ready.
In the afternoon, Nelson stayed in his study, while Charlotte yed with Magnolia, throwing frisbees
for him to catch. When she went back to her room to fetch a chew toy for Magnolia, she faintly
heard Nelson''s cold voice from the study. She couldn''t quite make out what he was saying, but he
sounded stern. It startled Charlotte, and she dropped the chew toy on the stairs.
She hurried to pick it up, but before she walked down the stairs, Nelson grabbed her waist.
Her feet were up in the air, and she looked like a little turtle pping in the water.
"...Mr. rk, please let go." Charlotte said while feeling extremely embarrassed.
Nelson held her with one arm and said calmly, "What if you fall and hurt yourself when running
down the stairs?"
Charlotte blushed and replied, "I promise I won''t be so careless again. Please put me down..."
Seemingly ignoring her request, Nelson said slowly, "You make me very worried."
With these words, he carried Charlotte into his study, ced her on the sofa, and said, "Sit here and
read."
Charlotte said, "...Okay."
Nelson returned to his desk, where he was in a video conference with some important figures who
were all surprised.
Someone cleared his throat and asked, "Why did you leave so suddenly?"
