"I should ask you that question. After arranging a wife to you, you frequently appeared in the front of her. My I know your intention?"
"Manfred came across me by chance."
"Is that so? Was it unintentional or was it a prior appointment?" Speaking of this, Kennedy gave Charlotte a glance.
Charlotte clenched her fist tightly, then fearlessly met Kennedy's eyes.
Everyone thought she would explain, but she said, "Whatever you think. Anyway, you are self-righteous, you won’t listen to others, there's no need for me to explain."
"Charlotte!" Manfred frowned slightly, not understanding why Charlotte still didn't give in at this time and had to fight with Kennedy.
"This is none of your business." Charlotte pushed Manfred away, with her petite body blocking the front, "Don't you think I am a slut? Never mind, what you see is true. I am that kind of person, and it was me who asked Manfred to come over."
Kennedy’s eyes abruptly became cold and he stared at her.
"Do you know what you are saying?"
Charlotte was really fed up with Kennedy. Every word he said was like a needle sticking in her heart. She really couldn't control her emotions anymore.
"Charlotte, have you forgotten what I just told you? You……”
"Manfred, this is something between Kennedy and I. Can you go back first?"
"Charlotte."
Charlotte's eyes looked at him firmly, insisting that he must leave.
Manfred said nothing but nodded, and then he looked to Kennedy and made the last sentence to explain, “Kennedy, you should control your temper. There is nothing between Charlotte and I.. We met unintentionally tonight. That is it."
After Manfred left, Nathan instantly felt that he was redundant. He pointed to the tip of his nose, "So I leave too?”
No one paid attention to him, Nathan sarcastically touched his head and then left.
In the garden, only Kennedy and Charlotte were left.
Charlotte and Kennedy looked at each other. Because of the change of atmosphere, the moonlight no longer was soft, looking cold.
Then Kennedy said, “Come here.”
Charlotte stood still in the same place, lowering her eyes, "I want to talk to you."
Hearing the words, Kennedy smiled coldly, “Say it."
Charlotte looked at the ground, "At the beginning we made a deal, I stayed in the Moore family only to let the Moore family temporarily become my shelter, and with my presence you can no longer be forced to marry by your grandfather. Originally, our cooperation was reciprocal, wasn't it?"
"Who told you it was reciprocal?" Kennedy's cold tone caused Charlotte to abruptly raise her head and look at him with wrongly eyes, "No?"
He slowly rolled his wheelchair towards Charlotte. Because his movements were slow, Charlotte did not notice it. He said coldly while advancing, “I don’t care who my grandpa arrange to me, but if the marriage is entangled in a conspiracy or designed by someone with bad intention, I can’t accept it. Charlotte, even if it's a trade marriage, the person I married in this marriage should be your sister Christina."
Charlotte's fingertips shivered.
"Charlotte, you are a substitute wife with a child in your belly, and you begged me to let you stay."
Charlotte: ……
Kennedy, “Now, do you still say that this trade marriage is reciprocal?"
Charlotte bit her lower lip, and there was a hint of blood under her eyes, “Okay, even if I begged you to let me stay, but we have just trading marriages, haven’t we? Why do you have to trample my dignity on the bottom of your feet? Why?"
Kennedy smiled lightly, “It's fun."
