Sweet May-December Marriage

Chapter 2 The Malus Garden

Chapter 2 The Malus Garden

The person outside said casually, “Anyway, Mr. Clark will not let her stay by his side. Why should we care about her virginity? Let’s go.”

Scarlet agreed after pondering for a while. Based on Nelson’s condition, even if this girl was not a virgin, he wouldn’t find it out. Therefore, she shot a glare at Charlotte and said, “Follow me.”

Charlotte heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly clasped her buttons. But the next moment, when she remembered that she was going to see the demon who was said to be a ruthless and tyrannical man, she became a bit nervous.

Charlotte followed Scarlet with her head lowered. After walking for ten minutes, Scarlet finally stopped and said to Charlotte, “Go in by yourself.”

Charlotte looked up, only to see a large courtyard. It was a quadrangle courtyard with many malus trees inside. It was the blossom season and the pinkish-white flowers scattered on the ground, forming a beautiful scene.

Was this that man’s residence?

Scarlet pushed Charlotte into the courtyard and said perfunctorily, “Madame bought you to bring auspiciousness to our family. Take good care of Mr. Clark. Maybe he’ll get better under your care.”

After finishing the words, she looked into the courtyard with fear and then turned around and left hurriedly.

There was no one around and the courtyard was weirdly quiet.

Charlotte took a deep breath before stepping into the courtyard. All rooms in the courtyard were closed. She took a glance at the main room. Then she walked over, reached out, and knocked on the door gingerly.

There was no response.

Charlotte looked at the door which had exquisite carved patterns on it for a while, not daring to walk into the courtyard rashly. She then squatted down before the door and stared at the malus flowers in the courtyard.

The courtyard was very quiet. Only the sounds of the wind could be heard. Charlotte squatted there for a long time until it was about to get dark. She glanced at the main room from which there hadn’t come any sound and thoughts popped into her mind. Just now the servant said Mr. Clark was dying and there was no sound in the courtyard. Could it be that… he had died? Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Charlotte was startled by this thought. She buckled up and pushed the door gingerly.

It wasn't locked.

Charlotte cautiously peeked into the room through the crack and only walked into the room after making sure that no one else was inside.

The furnishing of the room was very simple, or more precisely, somehow perfunctory. There was only a bed with a canopy hanging above it.

Charlotte walked over step by step and cautiously pushed the canopy aside.

She had prepared herself for the worst situation. She thought she might see Nelson’s dead body.

Much to her surprise, she saw a man's back covered with scars instead.

His back looked thin and the outlines of his bones could be seen clearly. On his back were various kinds of scars. Even with Charlotte’s medical skills, she could only distinguish the causes of a few scars.

But these defects could not belittle his outstanding features. His shoulders were broad, his waist slender, and his skin ivory. His bones were wrapped by a thin layer of muscle. He was exuding masculine explosive power and oppression.

Charlotte took two steps back with a red face and covered her eyes. She apologized, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to…”

The man picked up his clothes calmly and put them on. His sharp eyes swept across the girl’s thin body. Then he asked slowly in a low, charming voice, “So, you’re my child bride?”

Covering her eyes, Charlotte exclaimed. She replied with her lips trembling, “Yes.”

Nelson looked at her composedly and ordered, “Come here.”

Charlotte was dumbfounded and slowly put down her hands which were covering her eyes. The next moment, she saw a stunningly beautiful face.

She was already 18 years old, but this was the first time that she saw such a handsome man.
