Chapter 33:
Charlotte had a dream at night.
She dreamt of what had happened that night over a month ago. The man was holding her tightly, kissing her passionately and enthusiastically. She felt his hot breath and heard his low gasps.
She turned over and pulled back the quilt because she was hot, and then she opened her eyes.
It was already dawn, the sun was pouring a soft glow into the house from the window, and the morning air was cool.
It had been so long, why was she dreaming about that man?
In her dream, the man was also very powerful.
But she could no longer hear his voice clearly.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead and felt a tickle in her throat. She covered her mouth and coughed a couple of times. Then she suddenly remembered that Kennedy was still sleeping, and glanced over at him, who was lying on the bed not far away.
Kennedy was sleeping and she was afraid of waking him, so she tried not to cough loudly. However, she felt very uncomfortable with her throat, so she had to get up quickly and then went into the bathroom without putting on her shoes.
She stayed in the bathroom and coughed for quite a while. And then she brushed her teeth.
Kennedy wasn’t a sound sleeper, so he woke up when Charlotte rolled over, but he didn’t open his eyes.
After a while, he heard her coughing and covered his mouth so he wouldn’t cough loudly. And then he hurried to the bathroom.
Immediately afterwards, a suppressed cough was heard from the bathroom, as if she didn’t want him to hear it.
However, the room was not that big, no matter how much she suppressed the cough, he could still hear her. Besides, the surroundings were very quiet and there was no noise, so he could hear her cough clearly.
And then he thought about what Nathan had told him last night.
“Miss Wilson is pregnant now. It seems it’s not good for her health for her to sleep on the floor.”
It was almost fall. And there was only one quilt for her on the floor. Indeed, it was not good for her to sleep on the floor.
Kennedy opened her eyes and blinked, then closed her eyes.
But he thought she was coughing in the bathroom.
After a while, he felt annoyed and pulled back the quilt. He looked at the alarm clock and checked that it was an hour before he had to get up.
Charlotte came out after brushing her teeth and discovered that Kennedy had gotten up. She felt a little embarrassed all of a sudden, “I’m sorry, did I disturb you?” Kennedy frowned after hearing that.
She was self-conscious and knew she had woken him up.
Charlotte wasn’t used to sleeping in her bra at night. But she hurried to the bathroom to put on her bra after getting up every morning. Today she didn’t mind because she had just coughed.
Now she saw Kennedy and thought she wasn’t wearing a bra. Therefore, she felt embarrassed.
“Since you knew you were going to wake me up, why didn’t you shut up?”
At his accusation, Charlotte could not refute it, because she really did wake him up. Therefore, she could only lower her head and pinch the corner of her clothes and then said softly to him, “I’m sorry… Sorry?” Sorry?
He looked weak, which made Kennedy even more unhappy.
She didn’t know how to defend herself? She couldn’t control her coughing on her own. She didn’t know how to rebut?
“There’s no point in apologizing!”
Charlotte lowered her head not knowing what to say. She felt uncomfortable when Kennedy looked at her coldly, and she really wanted to go back to the bathroom.
Kennedy didn’t know why she always thought Charlotte was completely different than she had imagined.
He thought she would stand up for herself when she was bullied. However, she didn’t know how to defend herself at all. What’s more, she looked embarrassed.
“I didn’t mean to wake you.” Finally, she looked up at Kennedy with her head raised and spoke to him.
Kennedy’s thin lips pressed into a straight line.
“Come here.”
Why? Charlotte was startled and didn’t dare approach him.
Because she wasn’t wearing a bra.
Thinking about this, Charlotte bit her lower lips and stood there without moving.
Kennedy tried not to get angry and then said, “Are you deaf?”.
Charlotte felt helpless and walked toward him. However, every step she took was like stepping on the tip of a knife. She felt so uncomfortable that even Kennedy was speechless.
She crouched down as she walked toward him, and almost squatted on the floor.
Kennedy looked at her and wanted to pull her with his hands, which caused her to panic and duck to the ground directly.
Kennedy’s hands stopped in mid-air and she almost got angry.
After a while, she frowned, “What are you doing?” Charlotte squatted on the floor still.
“What?”
“I…… just my stomach hurts. ” Finally, she made an excuse, because she had no intention of getting up anyway.
Kennedy frowned again, “Stomach ache?”
And then he thought again about what Nathan had told him last night – did he have a cold?
Thinking about this, Kennedy felt a little annoyed.
He said nothing, and Charlotte remained on the floor.
After a long while, they remained in their original position.
Kennedy had problems with her legs, so she could only sit down without Nathan’s help, and Charlotte did not dare to get up, so they could only remain in a deadlock.
With Charlotte squatting on the floor for so long, her legs went a little numb.
She then looked at Kennedy and hoped he might be able to help her.
However, he didn’t move, so she didn’t dare to move either.
“Why are you looking at me? I can’t help you.”
After he told her, Charlotte realized that he could not stand up on his own, as he had problems with his legs. She asked him, “Why did you ask me to come over to you?” Kennedy didn’t answer.
“Why?”
“Doesn’t your stomach hurt?”
Charlotte felt a little embarrassed. She nodded and said, “Yes, but I feel better now. What can I do for you?”
“Help me get the wheelchair over here.”
He looked at the wheelchair nearby. Charlotte realized that he wanted to sit in the wheelchair, and so she slowly stood up, “Please wait a moment.” And then she took the wheelchair for him.
“Help me up.”
Kennedy looked at her face with his head raised, “Can you do it?”.
After confirming the distance between the wheelchair and the bed, Charlotte nodded and said, “Maybe…… I can try.”
And then she went over to him to help him.
“My legs have no strength. You can squat down a little so I can get up by leaning on your shoulders.”
“Okay!” Charlotte didn’t refuse his request and squatted down.
Kennedy rested his hands on her shoulder so he could pull himself up. However, Kennedy was 5’6″, while Charlotte’s height was just under 5’7″. She was so petite, she could hardly stand still when Kennedy rested her hands on her shoulders forcefully.
Kennedy’s forehead was beaded with sweat, and she withdrew her hands and said, “Forget it. I don’t think you can help me.”
Charlotte bit her lower lip at that, “No, I can. I didn’t hold my ground just now. Let’s try one more time.”
Kennedy didn’t suddenly move, however, but merely stared at her.
And Charlotte discovered that he was looking at her breast .
