Second Marriage novel Chapter 3

Charlotte had stayed inside the room all by herself the whole night. She woke up early, moved all her clothes into the closet.

She had made it clear with Kennedy last night, and it seemed like he would not sleep there, therefore that room belonged to her completely.

They were just nominal husband-and-wife and they had nothing to do with each other.

To her, it was actually a good thing.

After changing, Charlotte went downstairs and saw a bunch of maidens being busy with their chores. She was feeling slightly hungry, therefore she wanted to ask where the kitchen was, yet one of the maidens waved her away rudely. “Where on earth are you from? Don’t block the way!”

Without being aware of that, Charlotte fell onto the ground.

The maiden threw a glance at her with superiority, yet her eyes suddenly became deferential.

A pair of big warm hands held Charlotte up. Charlotte turned around and was encountered by a gentle gaze.

The comer was wearing an immaculate white shirt and his smile was as warm as spring breeze.

Charlotte responded after being dumbfounded for a moment, she quickly took two steps backward to keep a distance away from him. “Thank you.”

“No worries, sister-in-law.”

“Sister-in-law?”

“I’m Kennedy’s eldest brother, Manfred Moore.” He extended his hand to her.

Charlotte was slightly startled that he was Kennedy’s eldest brother. She then awkwardly extended her hand and held his. “Nice to meet you, Manfred.”

Her voice was slightly shaky due to nervousness.

“It’s the maiden’s fault just now. I apologize to you on their behalf. I hope it doesn’t hurt your feeling. The people in the Moore family are all amiable. I’ll explain the situation to them afterwards.”

Charlotte nodded. “Thank you, Manfred.”

Manfred smiled. Before he could say anything further, a cold voice was heard abruptly.

“Looks like I’ve come here at a bad timing.”

Hearing the voice, Charlotte looked towards the direction which the voice came.

Nathan was pushing Kennedy who was on the wheelchair towards them and Kennedy’s legs were covered with a thin blanket.

Although he was sitting on a wheelchair, he looked like an all mighty emperor.

Her eyes were cold and landed on Charlotte’s face like blades.

Charlotte lowered her head feeling guilty.

Wait, why should she feel guilty? She was just greeting his family.

“Kennedy, it’s so rare to see you here.” Facing his own younger brother, Manfred was still wearing a smile, yet contrary to him, Kennedy did not have any expression. He only nodded lightly and greeted him.

“Okay, I guess I’ll not bother you and sister-in-law any longer.”

Manfred then looked towards Charlotte and said gently, “Sister-in-law, I still have to go to the company, so do excuse me.”

Charlotte nodded in a daze and watched him leave. As she was going to retrieve her stare, she heard Kennedy who was beside her spoke sarcastically. “Are all remarried women that thirsty for love? Being so eager to seduce men?”

Charlotte’s mind was instantly pulled back to reality and she asked, “What?”

Looking into Kennedy’s black and brooding eyes, she could sense the cruelty underneath them.

She then bit her lower lip and said, “I’m not that debauched as you think.”

“Oh really?” Kennedy’s smile was brimmed with contempt and he did not want to give a shit to her at all. “For a woman who just got divorced and is eager to remarry again, is she really not debauched?”

Charlotte clenched her fists and was slightly angry.

Did she want to remarry again? She was forced to do so. However, she would not tell him this, no matter what, she only wanted to stay.

Having thought of this, she unclenched her fists once more.

“You better keep your promise and stay away from the Moore family. If I find out you’re using the Moore’s name to do something outside, or have any purpose towards the family, I’ll make you wish you’re never born.”

He called Nathan, and Nathan pushed him away and left.

After they left, a maiden came towards her and said, “Missus, Mr. Reynold wants to see you.”

Mr. Reynold? The head of the Moore family?
