Second Marriage novel Chapter 339

There was a silence in the room for a while. Charlotte didn't hear that Zain spoke again, so she asked.

"Mr. Nelson?"

'Didn't he say that he had questions to ask me?' In fact, Charlotte had already known that he indeed had questions to ask, since last time when Zain asked her to the restaurant near the hospital and she found hesitation emerging in his eyes for several times.

'But he didn't ask. This time...he still hesitated. What on earth is the question that keeps his mouth shut?'

"You can't ask, is it because the question is...personal?"

Zain nodded and said, "Yep."

Charlotte was surprised. 'It's a personal question, so maybe it's about my body..."

Thinking of that, Charlotte blushed with embarrassment.

"Actually, I still can tell you are my sister, even I don't know the answer of the question. But if you're worried about that..." Seeing that she blushed, Zain suddenly wanted to tease her. So, he smiled and said softly, "If you really want to know, I can tell to wipe out your worry. But...do you really want to know?"

Charlotte didn't say a word.

"Well, I can tell you now."

"Wait a minute!" Charlotte stopped him. She said in embarrassment, "It would be enough that Mr. Nelson can be sure. I...I don't want to know."

Since Zain couldn't ask the question for quite a while, Charlotte thought he probably couldn't speak out even if she insisted. And if it was true that the question was personal, it would be embarrassed for both of them after the question being asked.

Just forget it.

It was the Nelson family in B City! It did no harm to have this kind of family to support her. In addition, the image and temperament of her were similar with those of the woman in the picture. It couldn't be wrong.

"So, Mr. Nelson...when are you going to tell Diana about it?"

Hearing the name of Diana, Zain became a little bit indifferent, saying, "I will deal with it after she is discharged from hospital. You..."

An evil thought suddenly came to Charlotte's mind.

'She just won the heart of Kennedy, but she wouldn't be a daughter of a wealthy family anymore. Several days ago, she laughed at me, saying that I was low-born and carried a child of other men and claiming that she was the one who has the same background as Kennedy. But now she no longer belongs to a wealthy family. Is it....her karma?'

And what she did had eliminated Charlotte's pity to her.

Their friendship had gone in such a short time.

"OK, I will let you handle it."

"Do you want to see her?" Zain knew that she and Diana had a problem. Though he didn't know how they got into this situation, things probably got pretty nasty.

"No." Charlotte rejected without thinking. "She and I are done."

Her words led to silence. Charlotte suddenly realized something. She looked at Zain and asked, "Do you think...that I turn arrogant because I become a member of a wealthy family?"

Zain said, "...Silly girl."

Charlotte got stunned.

'What did he call me?'

"She had lied to you for so many years. It's understandable that you don't want to see her again. Besides, you're the daughter of the Nelson family now. You have the right to be arrogant. Just do what you want. From now on, I..."

He stopped for a while and continued, "From now on, the Nelson family will be your supporter."

Those words sounded so sincere that Charlotte was touched and tears welled up in her eyes. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Yanis.

Afraid of being seen that she was going to cry, Charlotte stood up and said, "I want to go to the bathroom."

Then, she went into the bathroom quickly. After coming in, Yanis put a sandwich and a cup of coffee in front of Zain with a smiling face. "Mr. Nelson, I bought a sandwich and a cup of coffee for you. Please have some."

Zain took out his purse and asked, "How much?"

"It's fine! They didn't cost much!" Being frightened, Yanis kept walking back.

Zain, in an indifferent look, insisted to pay her back, while Yanis kept refusing.

"I ate your breakfast first, so these are to express my apology to you. If you insisted on paying me back, I won't forgive myself and I will be afraid of coming here and having meals with Charlotte."

Hearing that she mentioned Charlotte, Zain stopped doing so.

Zain always held the principle of not having personal relationships with others. He didn't owe others and didn't want others to owe him. That was why he tried to pay Yanis back.

"Well then, please take care of Charlotte in future."

"It's what I will do as a friend..."

After slowly eating the sandwich, Zain lightly wiped his mouth. Charlotte was still in the bathroom. So, Zain said to Yanis, "I have a meeting to attend. Please tell her I'm leaving."

"OK!"

Yanis walked him to the door and closed the door when he was gone.

She turned around and looked for Charlotte, calling, "Charlotte, where are you? Zain is gone. You can come out."

Click——

Charlotte opened the bathroom door and walked out.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you hiding here? How could you hide in the bathroom when he was sitting here and eating the sandwich?"

"I just left for a few minute. What's the problem with that?" Charlotte had washed her face with cold water, but it still could be told from the red rims of her eyes that she had cried.

Yanis licked her lips and asked, "Are you still sad?"

"Nope." Charlotte turned around and entered the room. Yanis followed her and said, "The way that Zain eats is so charming. He truly is a man born in a wealthy family. He is so different from our ordinary people. But, to be honest, I find your temperament is similar with his, especially when you calm down..."

Listening to her words, Charlotte stopped, turning back her head and asking, "Really? You think so?"

Yanis nodded, "I said for fun just now. But now I take a good look at you and find that it's true. Your eyes, your lips...and your temperament."

Charlotte said, "...Shut up. Don't go too far."

Yanis smiled, holding her arm and shake it. "I'm being honest."

"Fine. Let go of me. I'm going to change my clothes."

Yanis let go of her, asking, "Are you going to stay here? You can live in my place."

"No. This place is quiet and I like it. Besides, the money has been paid."

"Did Zain pay for you?"

Charlotte froze.

"Everything in the house including the breakfast and the maid is arranged by Zain?"

Charlotte looked back and watched Yanis's face.

"What are you thinking?"
