Chapter 211:
Time flew. A week had passed since that day Charlotte slapped Kennedy’s face. Since Charlotte admitted that she liked Kennedy, she decided to keep an eye on him the rest of the time.
Her heart gradually calmed down.
Perhaps, she thought too much, asked too much, which was why there were so many contradictions between them.
If she didn’t worry about anything, maybe she and Kennedy could be a normal couple in the few days they had left together.
So Charlotte took it easy. Instead of arguing, she preferred to get along with each other peacefully.
She herself became positive, but Kennedy was confused.
She was a proud person. She never admitted that she liked Charlotte, or perhaps she didn’t know her feelings for Charlotte. At first she was just a victim in the marriage, gradually…… no longer seemed so.
But she didn’t seem like anything else.
He wanted to see her jealous and angry, but she was so calm after that day that she didn’t seem like a normal person. She greeted him when she saw him when she woke up.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she got up to wash her face. She worked seriously, ate seriously and left work.
After work, she went to the mall to study and improve her marketing skills.
Seeing that, Kennedy’s eyes turned dark.
“Are you crazy?” asked Kennedy suddenly.
Nathan, behind Kennedy, was stunned and didn’t understand what Kennedy meant. A moment later, he whispered, “You mean Miss Moore?”
Kennedy became agitated and said, “Who do you think?”
“Well.” The sudden irascibility was frightening.
Nathan remembered recent events and touched his head, “No, Miss Moore is acting normal recently.”
He had a quiet talk with Kennedy every day. Even if Kennedy said harsh words to her, she didn’t get angry like before. She was calm. Nathan was fine with that.
If they got along like this, they would gradually grow to love each other.
Yes, that was normal.
Kennedy’s gaze was cold. It was too normal, which was abnormal.
“Normal?” Kennedy asked, annoyed.
Nathan was stunned, “Not normal?”
“…Stupid.” Nathan seemed to be missing the point, Kennedy narrowed her eyes and didn’t bother talking to him any further.
Then Nathan thought for a long moment before he said, “Are you mad because Miss Moore didn’t pick a fight with you?”
Kennedy, “…”
Nathan felt his chin and thought, “After all, she used to argue with you. Recently, she suddenly doesn’t argue with you anymore, is that why you’re upset?”
Kennedy, “Shut up.”
Nathan was puzzled, but since Kennedy asked him to shut up, he said no more.
He was confused and wondered if he should remind Charlotte.
So he slipped out when Charlotte went to the tea room to make coffee, and then asked her about it.
“Miss Moore, what’s the matter with you lately?”
“What?” Charlotte stirred her coffee, expressionless.
“You’re different.”
Hearing that, Charlotte froze, and when she curved her lips, “Isn’t that good? I think it’s good to keep the atmosphere calm every day.”
At least she no longer had to complain about things that weren’t true.
“Quiet?” Nathan looked at her, there seemed to be another emotion in her cold eyes. But he wasn’t sure if he was wrong, so he asked, “Are you really feeling calm or are you just pretending to be?”
Charlotte, “Nathan, what are you trying to say?”
Nathan quickly waved his hand to explain, “No, I just want to remind you that Mr. Kennedy is good to you. I hope you’re okay, so …. ‘
Before he finished his words, Charlotte looked at him in surprise. She remembered Nathan saying that he was just being polite to her and that he didn’t like her, also not to ask something he shouldn’t ask.
“I have a lot of work to do and I have to go get coffee for Mr. Kennedy. I have to go.” Charlotte didn’t want to discuss this topic with him at length, so she walked straight out of the tea room.
When she left, Nathan scratched his head vigorously and looked annoyed.
Had she said something wrong?
Nathan did not like Charlotte before, but after getting along well with her, he discovered that Charlotte was poor. Her ex-husband was bad, but she had been protecting her son and even signed a contract with Mr. Kennedy for it.
After all these days, Nathan knew how she treated Mr. Kennedy.
She was not at all the condescending and vain woman they had first thought.
What had happened to her was not her own choice, just fate, or… she couldn’t tell the truth.
The office
Sitting in the wheelchair by the French window, Kennedy looked out at the scenery under the glass. He seemed to look at the bottom, but when he looked closely, his eye would not focus.
Since Charlotte had started acting normal, she discovered that he had become abnormal. He tried to give her a hard time every day, but it was no use.
There was a knock at the door –
The door was pushed open and Charlotte walked in with the coffee. She walked to her desk, set the coffee down and calmly said, “Mr. Kennedy. Your coffee, I’ll go out first.” With that, Charlotte walked straight out.
Kennedy glared at her. She just went about her business.
“Stop.”
Charlotte stopped her pacing and turned around. “What can I do for you, Mr. Kennedy?”
“Come here.”
Charlotte’s droopy eyelashes fluttered, but her steps seemed rooted and unsteady. It was a long while before she asked, “Is there anything I can do, Mr. Kennedy?”
“I told you to come here, cut the crap!” Kennedy’s voice was cold. Narrowing his eyes, he stared at her.
Charlotte looked at him and saw that he looked like a wild animal staring at his food. She had been making peace with him, but today? what did he want? Charlotte could only walk slowly toward him, “Mr. Kennedy, I’m here, what’s wrong?”
