New Second Marriage

[Viet Writer]

Chapter 19 Scary Human Heart​

Kennedy felt the pain and drew back from her.


“It seems like Mrs. Moore not only likes to bark, but also bite as well.”


Kennedy stretched out a hand to wipe off the blood on his lips, he was a very handsome man, and always liked to frown, whenever he did show a smile, it was even prettier. But the smile he had put on right now was very frightening, just like a lion that has been annoyed. And with the red color on his lips, he looked even more like a beautiful devil.


Charlotte finally got the chance to push him away, and then she hid her tiny self in the corner.


“Kennedy, what is it that you want? Don’t forget we had a deal, you never wanted me to touch you, so what were you doing there?”


Kennedy didn’t say anything, only stared at her with a icy gaze.


Charlotte pulled her shirt right, bit her lips and looked at him stubbornly.


The more she behaved like that, the more Kennedy wanted to take her. She was married for the second time, and pregnant with a bastard, why should he have pity with a person like her.


When he heard that her life was in danger, he asked to disrupt the abortion, and took her home.


Kennedy, you must be out of your mind!


The moment when he locked eyes with her, Kennedy only said, “Even if I wanted to have some fun, I only touch women who are clean enough.”


When he said that, Kennedy turned his wheelchair around and left the room.


Silence filled the room again, and Charlotte, who was tensed all this time, finally relaxed a little. She slid down to the floor and hugged her knees, then she started crying.


Kennedy was still outside, he heard her crying, and paused for a moment in his movements, but then he showed a cold smile.


—


Two days later, Charlotte still had the same attitude towards Kennedy, he was still emotionless, coldblooded, and cruel.


Even though they had a really big fight the other day, but Kennedy never asked her to leave the house.


And Charlotte was still living the jittery life, since she still had to go to the office and be his assistant.


Kennedy on the other hand was always giving her more trouble.




Charlotte had no choice but to always try and find a solution, even though she wasn’t the smartest, but she was patient and determined, so no matter what Kennedy thought of to shame her, she always bit her teeth and dealt with it.


That day, Reynold called her to the library. As she was standing in front of him, she felt fear rising up in her.


“How are you doing working as Kennedy’s assistant?”


Charlotte thought for a while and said, “It’s alright.”


Reynold raised his brows, then he squinted his dark eyes, “What does alright mean? Have you earned his trust yet?”


Charlotte didn’t know what he meant, “I’m sorry?”


“Do you think anyone could be his assistant? Christina, I have known your parents for a long time, I know that you are a bright girl, I think you know what I mean.”


Charlotte’s heart beat fast, she wasn’t all too sure.


“Mr. Moore, do you mean…”


“Kennedy is disabled, which has caused him a lot of trouble psychologically, this is why he is often so cruel, he doesn’t know his limits and boundaries. The Moore Group is a big company, it cannot go into ruin in his hands. What you need to do is to make sure he won’t do anything stupid, but you are a woman, so I don’t expect you to know too much about this. Which mean, you need to report to me everyday.”


Charlotte wasn’t the smartest, but she also wasn’t dumb.


Reynold’s words were clearly understood, and she subconsciously said to him, “So you want me to shadow him?”


“Bullshit!”


This word immediately made Reynold angry, he was so mad that he took the ashtray from his table and threw towards Charlotte.


Charlotte opened her eyes wide in shock, and watched the ashtray fly towards her.


Within a blink of an eye, a person came into the room and pulled Charlotte away.


Bam!


The ashtray landed on the spot where Charlotte was standing just a second before, and broke into pieces.






The sound was so loud that it made even her heart vibrate.


Charlotte had her eyes wide open, and stared at Reynold in disbelief.


Didn’t know his limits and boundaries, Reynold must have been talking about himself when he said that.


“Grandpa, she talks without thinking, plus she must have misunderstood what you meant.”


Charlotte only then noticed that the person who had just pulled her away, was Manfred.


“Charlotte, grandpa and I are just worried about Kennedy’s health, it is always exhausting to manage such a company all alone. And after being with him for the past period of time, you probably know him well enough now, he always go beyond the limits when doing something. Grandpa told you this stuff today not to shadow Kennedy. The Moore Group will be his in the future, so what we need to do now is to try and help him.”


Charlotte bit her teeth and kept quiet.


Reynold humphed and said angrily, “And I thought the Wilsons had smart kids, who would have guessed that you would use such a word. If others would hear that, what would happen to our name! They would gossip that I was blind to let you marry into our family!”


“Grandpa, please don’t be mad, I will talk to her about it.”


As he said so, Manfred pulled Charlotte out of the room.


Charlotte was still in shock by what just happened, she still hadn’t caught herself, so she was only following behind Manfred without even saying a word.


Until they found a quiet place, Manfred finally stopped walking, and turned around to stare at her.


“You must be really scared, are you hurt?”


Manfred took a step towards her and wanted to take her shoulders.






Charlotte took a step back in reaction.


Because of that, Manfred’s hands landed in thin air, which was a little awkward for him, then Charlotte lowered her head while saying, “Sorry…”


Manfred showed a smile on his face and took his hands back.


“Don’t worry, please don’t take what happened to heart, grandpa only wants Kennedy to be alright. There is some misunderstanding between them. There are many things he can’t ask him directly, so he needs you to tell him about these things. Do you understand what I am saying?”


Charlotte nodded.


“Maybe you don’t really get me right now, you are a little confused. You should go back to your room and rest, and when you have thought about it, you will know that grandpa only wants to take care of Kennedy.”


“So I will go then.” Charlotte turned to leave.


She walked for a while, and had the feeling that Manfred was still staring at her.


When she turned around the corner, that feeling finally disappeared.


Charlotte’s stopped while staring at the floor, thinking.


She never thought the relation in this family was so complicated. She wasn’t stupid, so she understood what Reynold was telling her.


They said that they only wanted to take care of Kennedy, but in reality, it was keeping an eye on him.


And that Manfred, he always had a soft and welcome smile on his face, making everyone believe that he was a gentleman. But she suddenly noticed that him and Reynold were on the same front, telling her all those high sounding words.


Charlotte suddenly felt really cold.


A person couldn’t be judged by his covers.


Just like Aldrich.


He always told her that he had frigidity, but then suddenly one day, he brought home another woman and kicked her out of the house.


Two years he had been hiding it.


A human’s heart was the most frightening thing in the world.


And suddenly, Charlotte didn’t hate Kennedy as much anymore.


Because he was just like her, repelled by his own family.
