Second Marriage novel Chapter 2

Charlotte opened her tired eyes and crashed into a pair of deep and cold eyes.

The man looked austere. He had a high-bridged nose below his deep-set eyes and his thin lips were curled into a line. Although he was sitting on a wheelchair, he possessed a unique and unapproachable aura.

“Christina Wilson?”

Charlotte’s mind only went blank for two seconds; she instantly sat up from the bed and stared at the man in panic.

She nodded nervously as she had gotten married on behalf of Christina and she certainly did not dare to expose her identity.

Kennedy sneered and his eyes went colder. He took an envelope from his pocket and tossed it to her. Charlotte picked it up carefully and opened it to have a look. She realized it was all about her sister, Christina’s photo and personal information.

It seemed like he had investigated the person he was going to marry thoroughly.

However, why didn’t he speak a word during the wedding?

Charlotte tightened her grasp when she held the envelope and bit her lower lip. She threw a glance at Kennedy with her black eyes without his notice.

“Does the Wilson family seriously think they could brush me off with anyone just because I have problems with my legs?”

Charlotte stood up and her long wedding gown was dragged along the ground. She lowered her eyes and muttered. “I’m the daughter of the Wilson family too.”

“The daughter who just got divorced? Are the Wilsons treating the Moore family as a recycle station?”

His straightforward reply made Charlotte almost unable to raise her head. She bit her lower lip hard. It was true that women who were in a second marriage were always disgusted, yet it was because of this, she was asked to get married to the son of the Moore family by her parents.

Without waiting for her to reply, the man’s cold voice hit her soul. “I’ll give you five minutes. Explain for yourself and get the hell out of here.”

What?

Charlotte lifted her eyes and met his. “No!”

She can’t leave! If she had admitted, that meant the Wilson family would offend the Moore family in the future and how could the Wilson family get a foothold in B City until then?

She regained her composure, lifting her wedding gown and walked towards Kennedy. She explained softly, “My sister has a boyfriend; she won’t want to marry into the Moore family.”

“So you made the decision yourself to do so instead?” Kennedy’s lips curved into an unpleasantly disdainful smile.

Charlotte braced herself. She once again lifted her eyes and met his cold eyes. “I know this is an arranged marriage by our parents. To you, it doesn’t matter who you marry. Or else, you won’t agree to this marriage.”

She was not sure whether she managed to persuade him or not and she continued. “Instead of marrying someone else again, why don’t you let me stay? I promise I’ll stay out of your business.” Having said until that, she raised both her hands to swear. Her black eyes were full of determination and courage, and there was a cautious look on her pale face, as if she was afraid that he would not agree to that.

This look…

Kennedy squinted and looked at her from head to toes.

At length, he snorted. “Why should I want a woman like you since I can get any woman I want?”

Charlotte’s face went cadaverous at once and her lips trembled. Without waiting for her to speak, Kennedy turned around and moved his wheelchair towards the door.

Charlotte wanted to chase after him after being startled for several seconds, yet she was stopped by his subordinate.

“Ms. Wilson, please mind your behavior!”

Looking at Kennedy’s aloof and cruel back, Charlotte was in a bundle of nerves. She shouted from behind him. “If you don’t let me stay, I’ll tell everyone you’re impotent!”

The ‘grenade’ was tossed and she had gone all out.

Her words made Kennedy and his wheelchair jolted to a halt. He did not move but his head had slightly turned around. There was a cold light from the corner of his eyes and his voice seemed to come from hell. “Who are you saying impotent?”
