Chapter 148 Is He really the Man?
Breakfast in the shop
Manfred seemed to come here often, he greeted the owner when he came into the door.
“This breakfast shop is famous around here for its fresh ingredients and variety. Here is the menu.
Have a look.”
Manfred took her to his usual seat and gave the menu to Charlotte.
Charlotte had no intention of eating breakfast. She glanced at the menu and asked for a bowl of
noodles in clear soup.
Manfred took a look at her but he did not say anything. After giving the menu to the waiter, he added
more for Charlotte and then looked at Charlotte.
“What’s the matter? Your face is so bad, and you seem to have no appetite. Do you need me to go to
the hospital with you?”
Hearing this, Charlotte came back to her senses. She stared at him sitting in front of her.
He wore a cleanly laundered white shirt, even the collar was neat without the least wrinkle, showing
that he was a man of great refinement.
Manfred’s facial features were also beautiful, but compared to Kennedy’s sharp eyes and facial
features, Manfred’s facial features were very soft.
Manfred to her was warm and gentle.
Was it really possible that he could be that man?
“No, I just didn’t sleep well.”
Manfred became worried, “Charlotte, do you hate me?”
Charlotte was stunned, “What?”
“You’ve always resisted me.” Manfred slightly smiled and softly asked, “Because what? Do I look
terrible?”
Charlotte explained awkwardly, “No, don’t overthink about it.”
“Then don’t resist me, ok?”
Charlotte, “......”
She dropped her eyes, still confused.
How was she going to say it out?
After thinking for a long time, Charlotte raised her head and asked softly, “Manfred, are your suit
customized?”
Although this question is a bit abrupt, but Charlotte still want to confirm.
At first, Manfred didn’t understand why she asked this question, but he didn’t care about it. He just
nodded slowly, “Some are customized. When I don’t have enough time, I will buy it directly. What is
wrong?”
Hearing this, Charlotte tightened her fists.
In that case, it was customized.
Did she have to keep asking? If she continued to ask further questions, and Manfred was that man, he
might be aware of it!
Charlotte was thinking how to ask the next question that he would notice nothing.
After some deliberation, she spoke again.
“No, I think you look good in some suits. Manfred, did you ever...”
Charlotte asked while looking up to him, but found that now Manfred was looking at her too with a half
smile. He seemed to be able to see through her mind.
Charlotte’s breath suddenly stopped and she stopped her words.
Manfred looked at her with his deep eyes.
“You seem to have a lot of questions?”
He looked inscrutable and Charlotte dared not ask any more. Just then the waiter brought her white
porridge. Charlotte avoided Manfred’s eyes and got up to take it.
But because of the tension, and the bowl accidentally knocked over, and she got burnt.
Sitting opposite the smiling Manfred saw it, got up and caught Charlotte’s hands, “Please give me
some cold water.”
The waiter froze and quickly filled it with a bowl of cold water.
“Sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“It is not your fault.” Charlotte shook her head, it was her own carelessness.
Manfred took over the water and soaked her hand into the bowl. Her skin was fine and now her hands
became red. Frowning, Manfred looked at her “It doesn’t work. Soak for a while and I will buy
toothpaste nearby, wait for me.”
As words fell, Manfred turned and ran out.
Charlotte wanted to stop him, but it was too late, so she could only wait in situ.
Originally she thought it would take a long time for him to come back, but in only about five minutes,
Manfred came back with a piece of ointment.
He took her hands out of the water, and then dried them with a clean paper towel before applying burn
ointment.
The burn ointment was cold on the fingers.
Charlotte heard the Manfred breathing. She looked up and saw the Manfred’s forehead was covered
with a layer of sweat.
This was...
There was a subtle reaction in her heart. He ran so fast to buy her burn cream.
“Why are you being so nice to me?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
As the words came out of her mouth, Charlotte regretted. Why would she ask such a question? Wasn’t
she just trying to make him misunderstand?
Thinking about this, Charlotte immediately explained, “Sorry, Manfred, I just spoke out of turn. I
meant...You don’t have to be so nice to me.”
With that, Charlotte immediately took back her hands.
But Manfred unexpectedly clasped her wrist and did not let her struggle.
He raised his eyes, and fixed them gently but firmly on her face.
“It’s not finished yet. Be quiet.”
His voice was gentle, but with an irresistible force. He took her hand in his and slowly applied the burn
ointment.
Inexplicably, Charlotte felt the eyes around were strange. She insisted for a long time before Manfred
let go.
“Ok, do not touch water today. Fortunately it is not your right hand. You can ask a day leave.”
Charlotte pulled back her hands, and Manfred’s temperature remained on her wrist.
“No.”
Manfred got up and took the coat, “The burn ointment is only for temporarily use, I take you to the
hospital to deal with it.”
Charlotte wanted to refuse, but Manfred had taken her to go out.
For the first time, Charlotte found that Manfred was dominant.
“Charlotte, a person can do things in many ways when in the face of different people. He may usually
look gentle, but in fact he is a......”
Diana’s words rang in the ear again.
Was Manfred really...
Charlotte, with her mind wandering, got into the car. Manfred fastened the seat belt for her and called
her names twice, but she did not respond.
Her mind was full of confusion.
If Manfred was really that man, what should she do in the future?
She was not Kennedy’s wife, though she had just the name.
Up to now, Charlotte still could not accept the fact.
As the car started to move, Charlotte suddenly said, “Stop the car.”
“What’s up?” said Manfred, hitting the brakes.
Without saying a word, Charlotte opened the door and got off the car.
