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.
