Second Marriage

Chapter 214 I Don’t Want to Deceive You

“Not my business?”

Manfred was stunned about that, since he never expected that she would say such words to hurt him.

“Charlotte, think carefully, are you serious?” Manfred grabbed her wrist and asked her.

Charlotte looked up at him and said, “Manfred, I told you I can’t be with you. Why don’t you give up?

And Kennedy is my husband. How he treats me and how I feel is my own business.”

Manfred, “...”

“Are you really ok about that? Even though he’s really shaming you and using you? Charlotte, why are

you so stupid?”

Charlotte pursed her lips and did not speak. Manfred did not give you but directly hug her.

“Come to me, I can give you the happiness you want. I will treat you much better than that Kennedy This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

does.”

As his words fell, Manfred heard a low laugh.

Surprised, he backed away and saw a mocking smile on Charlotte’s face.

“You said you want to be good to me and that Kenney was using me and humiliating me. How about

you?”

Manfred was stunned, “What do you mean?”

Charlotte looked calm and pulled her hand back. “Am I wrong? Whatever Kennedy does, whatever you

say, I am the victim of a struggle between you two brothers.”

Manfred frowned, “Why do you think so?”

“It is the truth. Did you remember Reynold called me soon after I got married? You were there too.

Reynold asked me to monitor Kennedy. In this marriage, you put me to Kennedy as a pawn. But you

didn’t expect that I did not do as you said, so you changed your strategy. Do you think I will work for

you since you are good or gentle to me, Manfred?”

Her words were powerful. Although her voice was soft, it was like a stone fell in Manfred’s heart, and

like to give him a slap in the face.

Looking at Charlotte, Manfred could not say a word out.

“It looks like I am right.” Charlotte’s smile became more sarcastic and she pressed the button of the

elevator.

Before she pressed the button, Manfred held her fingers and said in a tired tone.

“Yes, you are right. At first I did approach you with this purpose, but gradually I found that...my feelings

for you are getting out of hand. Charlotte, I have violated my original intention and I love you.”

He spoke with a depth of feeling that touched everyone.

But Charlotte felt that he was just acting. She raised her lips and said, “Anyone can say nice words.

Now that you know who I am, you should know that I am not an ordinary little girl, those nice words did

not work to me.”

With that, Charlotte shook her hand off and pressed the elevator button. As soon as the door opened,

she walked out of it.

“Never matter if you don’t believe me!” Seeing she was to leave, Manfred hurried to say, “But I really

like you, I would like to give you time! Until the day you know it is the truth. But before that, can you

promise me that you will take good care of yourself and never let Kennedy humiliate you again?”

Hearing this, Charlotte stopped her steps and looked back at him.

“You are wrong about that he humiliated me. Have you ever thought what if I like Kennedy? So even if

he humiliated me, I like him too.”

“What did you say? Do you like Kennedy?”

“Yes.” Charlotte nodded, “I like him, so what I want to do is all my business. I hope you stop interfering

in my affairs. As for the three hundred thousand yuan you gave my mother, I will try to pay you back as

soon as possible with interest.”

With that, Charlotte turned to leave, giving no chance to Manfred to speak.

Manfred stood alone in situ, looking at the petite figure walking out of the elevator sadly.

Until the elevator door closed again, Manfred’s eyes become as deep as sea.

Charlotte happened to walk to the financial department and met Yanis who came out of the tea room.

They were stunned when they met each other. In a moment, Yanis showed a smile.

“Charlotte, are you to see me?”

Charlotte showed an awkward smile and did not know how to answer her question.

Could she say that it was just an accident?

Before she said a word, Yanis had put down the cup in her hand and ran to her excitedly and then

hugged her, “Great, I know you won’t be so cruel to ignore me all the time. Charlotte, I am glad you

come.”

Charlotte, “......”

Seeing that Charlotte was innocent and simple, Charlotte could only nod her head.

“Charlotte, you ignored me these days, I thought we can’t be good friends, but you are here. By the

way, come with me, I bought you a present.”

Regardless her attitude, Yanis pulled her to her office, and Charlotte had to follow her.

Finally, Yanis put a bag into her hands, “I know I was impulse and I could not say that without any

evidence, but... I did that for you. I went to the mall to buy this to make amends to you, but I was afraid

that you would ignore me, so I did not come to you.”

Charlotte opened the box and found it was a delicate brooch.

Inexplicably, she felt her nose sour and her eyes became moist.

Yanis was good to her, but she never thought to talk to her. Yes, she did mind and felt she did not a

need a gossiping friend.

Diana had been her friends for years, their relationship could not be broken by a few words, so she

chose to believe Diana and did not expect that Yanis was waiting for her.

Thinking of this, Charlotte sniffed her nose.

“Are you crying?” Yanis found her eyes red became nervous, “I’m sorry, did I say something wrong?”

Charlotte looked at her with red eyes and sobbed, “Actually, I came to the finance department by an

accident, and I... I don’t want to deceive you.”
