Chapter 262 Slight Sweetness

Author: Escaping Bunny
The room had a square table, and Julie was leaning on it, holding two closed fists. She wanted Charlotte to guess which hand held the mulberry.

Charlotte deliberately ignored the larger fist and guessed wrong.

"This one," she said.

The little girl instantly opened her hand and laughed. "Wrong!" She then stuffed the mulberry into her mouth. "You guessed wrong, so I get to eat it."

Charlotte pretended to be disappointed.

Just then, Griffith walked in from outside. Charlotte glanced at him and noticed the tension in his expression, the corners of his mouth distinctly downturned. It couldn't be because she had slept in his room, right? That shouldn't make him so angry.

Full of excitement, Julie rushed to Griffith and asked him to guess. Griffith, without any courtesy, casually answered, guessing correctly.

"Brother Griffith is amazing!" Julie's eyes sparkled, and she stuffed the mulberry into Griffith's mouth, who accepted it without flinching.

It was sweet. Sweet enough for him t

    Time flew by. Julie insisted on staying up with Brother Griffith for the whole night but soon found her eyelids drooping. She ended up dozing off, leaning against Ash."Take her to bed," Griffith said. Ash nodded and carefully carried her out of the meditation room.Now, only Charlotte and Griffith remained in the room. It wasn't exactly quiet, as chanting from the main hall could still be heard faintly.Charlotte cleared the table and took her phone out, sitting there silent. They remained like that for a while.After some time, a young priest approached Griffith, carrying a pot of violets and asking how to handle it. Hearing this, Charlotte sat up straight. These violets were cut from her grandfather's garden, so she didn't want them to be mistreated.Griffith glanced at her and thought for a moment before saying, "Plant them near the mourning hall.""Alright." The priest left with the violets.Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped her fingers, finding the atmosphere

    Charlotte felt quite nervous, hoping she wouldn't make any mistakes and ruin her accumulated merits.However, Griffith said, "I see you're trying to flatter me for no good reason."She had climbed the mountain early in the morning, brought flowers and mulberries, and now made him a bowl of noodles, even adding an egg.Charlotte was initially puzzled, but then she fell silent.She opened her mouth and said, "I spat in your food."Griffith's expression twitched.Charlotte tsked and said, "Go on. Eat. I have a very good reason to flatter you; no ill intentions."After a busy day, she had finally told the truth. Griffith's mood seemed to improve somewhat. He continued to eat the noodles at a leisurely pace and even finished the egg.Despite being a fairly large bowl of noodles, it was cleaned out. Griffith wiped his mouth with a napkin before leaning back in his chair, looking at Charlotte calmly."Do you want to plead for William on his behalf?" he asked.Charlotte hadn't intend

    "You consider this being friendly?" "Yeah.""Raising chickens at home, fooling around outside, then coming back home and letting the chickens peck at me and crow in the middle of the night. When you're not happy, you have your brother nag me incessantly." He listed out her recent misdeeds one by one, leaving nothing out. "You call this… friendly?"Charlotte was about to respond, but he continued, "You don't need to be friendly to me. As you said yesterday, we'll live our lives separately."This was a taunt. He had a mischievous look in his eyes, waiting for her to come up with a retort.Charlotte pursed her lips and said, "I misunderstood you yesterday; I didn't know what William had done. I thought you were targeting him because of Katie.""But in your eyes, I'm quite dignified. Why would I engage in such petty play?"Charlotte remained silent. After going around in circles, he had gained the upper hand in the argument again. She sighed. "I'm the petty one here.""This sent

    Charlotte was taken aback. She hadn't expected Griffith to remember this matter.Before she could respond, Jean approached Griffith with the tarot cards, enthusiastically saying, "It's possible! Just provide your birthdate, and I guarantee I'll get an accurate reading!""It's not that accurate, actually..." Adam mumbled."It's accurate!"Seeing the two kids about to argue, Griffith calmly took a sip of tea and said, "Read my fortune."He took a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Jean, who shook his head at the money. "This is the fee for the fortune-reading. But if it's inaccurate, your little stall will be ruined."Jean widened his eyes in disbelief.Charlotte rubbed her temple, puzzled by Griffith's sudden childishness in engaging with the kids.Jean reluctantly accepted the money and proceeded cautiously. He asked for their birthdates, and Griffith calmly stated his and Charlotte's birthdates as he glanced at her.Charlotte cleared her throat and sat calmly,

    Charlotte was about to educate the kids about speaking responsibly when they heard a shout from the head priest outside, calling the kids by their Christian names.Adam's cheeks puffed out with fear, and Jean became silent, clearly anxious.Charlotte noticed their anxiety and hurriedly whispered, "Quick, hide your things."The two kids moved swiftly, stuffing all their divination tools under the table.The head priest arrived at the door and, noticing Griffith inside, adopted a more respectful attitude. "Mr. Wilson, we must go to the memorial hall to offer our flowers."Griffith acknowledged him. The head priest nodded at Charlotte and then started to lecture the two kids.Worried that the kids might get punished, Charlotte explained that she had called them in for a talk and tried to plead for them. Turning her head, she noticed that Griffith was looking at her."Do you believe in tarot card readings?" she asked.Griffith tidied his clothes, responding, "More than your words."

    Charlotte didn't need to explain. From her expression, Griffith could tell what she was thinking.He furrowed his brow and said, "Can a ghost eat chicken?"His mother and sister were sensitive subjects for him. If he hadn't seen Charlotte cleaning the ash off the urn earlier, he might have kicked her out.Charlotte was momentarily stunned, her brain churning. Then suddenly, something occurred to her. "Could there be yellow weasels in the church?"This sounded plausible. Griffith's expression improved slightly, and he replied, "I don't know."Charlotte, still clutching his arm, calmed down and awkwardly let go."The chicken is gone," she said.Griffith took a deep breath and said, "We'll get another one.""We have to go next door," she replied.Griffith understood; she was scared.Fearing that he would misunderstand, Charlotte quickly explained, "I'm not afraid of your mother, but there are many other... strangers in this church."She cleared her throat, her confidence waning

    Approaching midnight, as they walked from the kitchen to the meditation room, the dim light made it look like they were following ghostly flames.Charlotte stuck close to Griffith the entire way, growing nervous whenever he slowed down even slightly. She felt a sense of safety only when they reached the meditation room, like returning to their headquarters."I have two types of eye drops. Which one do you want?" she asked."Whichever." Griffith didn't have the patience to choose; he sat on the bed, ready to be attended to.Charlotte checked the eye drops' labels and chose one. She approached him.She examined his eyes and said, "You must have offended the Yellow Deity, or else it wouldn't be this serious."Griffith replied, "The young priest said you're a bane of my existence. Maybe your nearness makes the malevolent energy too strong."Charlotte fell silent. She didn't want to give him the eye drops anymore."Hurry up," he urged.Charlotte sighed inwardly and took a step forw

    As Charlotte unscrewed the bottle cap, Griffith retracted his hand from on the bed and leaned forward. There wasn't much space between them, and with this movement, when she raised her head, her chin nearly collided with his forehead; they were almost pressed together.She quickly took a step back. He gazed steadily at her with his jaw clenched and frowned.What was that reaction? Was she avoiding him as if he was a snake or scorpion?Charlotte blinked, momentarily at a loss for words, but her heart pounded. Neither of them spoke, and the room became oppressively quiet.A subtle flirtatious atmosphere seemed to be burgeoning. For some reason, it felt even more flirtatious than when they had been openly affectionate.Charlotte licked her lips, wanting to say something. Griffith noticed the redness on her cheeks, and his displeasure faded a bit. Seeing that she couldn't find words, he decided to speak first.Ding dong— A deep, dull chime rang out, followed by two more.The atmosph

    Tanya's previous full-length mirror was still usable, but because it was small, she had to walk a bit farther every time she used it. Eli had long wanted to replace it.Little did he know, she got rid of many things in the house to make room for the new large sofa for him, including that old full-length mirror."How do you like it? Surprised?" He patted the mirror.Tanya smiled wryly and pointed to the large sofa. "And you? Surprised?" Only then did Eli notice fewer small items in the living room and a large new sofa. He suddenly chuckled. It was quite nice.He thought of her, and she thought of him. This winter was truly warm.Tanya abandoned the egg tart and hugged him again. "Oh no, this mirror is so big. There's nowhere to put it."Eli carried her with one hand and moved the mirror to the corner with the other. Sitting on the sofa, he thought for a moment, then hugged her and said, "Tanya, let's move to a bigger place."Tanya knew he had been thinking about this all along.

    Eli found it amusing. He pushed the head of the small money jar and couldn't help but say, "You gold digger! You love money so much, then why did you give the check I gave you to Soraya?"Tanya blinked and chuckled. "I only acquire wealth in the proper way. To be honest…" She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at him. "Probably because, at that time, I was just too fond of you like I am now."Hearing this, Eli felt a pang of heartache and leaned down to kiss her forehead. Tanya smiled, moved the gifts aside, and made some space for him.Just as they were about to talk, Eli's phone vibrated continuously. It turned out that Bridget was sending over the detailed preparation process for the wedding.Tanya scrolled through it and suddenly felt overwhelmed. Eli looked at it and also felt a headache coming. The two glanced at each other, sighed simultaneously, and leaned back.After they publicly disclosed their relationship, life continued as usual but became busier due to the w

    Eli being married was shocking enough, but then his wife was hiding right in the office. In the next half hour, Tanya heard wailing from all around.The atmosphere in their office was quite good, and everyone got along well. After coming clean, everyone joked around and teased each other."Nia, don't forget Mr. Ted, he's been cursing at you all along!""Yeah, he's been calling you a fool!""I heard it, I can testify!"Ted was furious and rushed out to hit someone. Tanya followed with laughter.Before leaving work, Amy indeed brought the cake and candies, sharing them with everyone in the building. Thus, the entire group gave them their blessings.From the office to the parking lot, Tanya received blessings. When she got into Eli's car, her heart was still pounding.Eli was happily eating his candy, feeling good. Especially now that he didn't have to sneak around anymore, he even turned the steering wheel effortlessly.Tanya, holding the cake, asked him in surprise, "Were these

    Tanya walked out of the room with her guard down and came face to face with Ted's sneaky expression. She paused.Ted gasped, his brain instantly turning blank.He looked at Tanya, covered his mouth with his left hand, and placed his right hand over the left with his eyes gradually widening.God! This was insane!Tanya regained her composure and glanced in Eli's direction. Eli remained calm, glanced at the fruit plate on the table, and said, "Should we take some down to share with your colleagues?"Tanya nodded. She glanced at the still-disheveled Ted and kindly handed him a tangerine."Sir?"Ted swallowed, looked at Tanya, then at Eli. Finally, he settled his gaze on the tangerine in her hand, mechanically accepting it.Tanya turned to look at Eli. 'Look, you've scared my superior.'Eli shrugged."I'm leaving," she said.Eli nodded and escorted her to the door.Ted followed them out and was sent into the elevator by his boss. As the elevator doors closed, he let out a long

    The deep blue bedsheet was neatly spread out. But the two pillows lacked pillowcases, exposed in a sorry state.Eli placed his hands on his belt and turned to look at Tanya. "Is this also your doing?"Tanya leaned against the door frame, only poking her head in, smiling sheepishly."I accidentally drooled while sleeping that day and dirtied the pillowcase. Knowing that you're a neat freak, I took them all off to wash," she said. She raised her hand and swore, "The pillowcases have been washed and are in the cabinet at home."Eli wasn't interested in the pillowcases' whereabouts. He remembered when Amy called him, saying Tanya missed him and wanted to touch the sheets and pillows after waking up.Nonsense!He took a deep breath, then turned his head to Tanya with a frightening smile. Tanya realized the danger and tried to run, but he grabbed her by the waist."Hey, what are you doing?" she said.Eli tossed her onto the bed and followed suit."What are you doing?!""Collecting

    Tanya sat upright in the office. Eli stood before her with his hands behind his back. "Come on, explain."Tanya's eyes darted around. "Do you believe me? It's because I missed you too much. When I came to your place, I couldn't help but take away everything related to you." Eli scoffed. "Including the toilet paper?"Tanya pondered seriously.Eli tapped the coffee machine and pointed to the plug that had been pulled out, saying, "If the coffee machine wasn't too heavy, would you have taken that too?"'This brat has no conscience at all. Does she even understand what a cold shoulder is?'While he was reminiscing in her room, she made a fortune in his office!Tanya blinked and gave him an embarrassed smile. "If you think about it from another angle, I love you deeply. If we couldn't reconcile and you came back to see all this, you would hate me. Hate represents love, and love means you can't forget me. My obsession is so deep; I want to stay in your heart forever."Eli fell silen

    "You should buy something while visiting. Do you have enough money in your account? If not, I will transfer some to you," Mrs. Moran said on the phone.Tanya didn't want money; she just wanted to hear some advice. She knew her parents' financial situation wasn't good. Due to illness, her stepfather had retired from his position as a butler of the Sterling family. Although the Sterlings provided a retirement package, Mr. Moran was getting old, and he had a son.

If she could find a part-time job, she would, and if not, she would endure it just to avoid causing her mother trouble."Mom, I don't need money. I have enough."When Mrs. Moran heard this, she felt even more sorry for her.Since her ex-husband was useless, Tanya suffer

    After breakfast, Eli called Bridget."Why did you send her a check? Do you have nothing better to do?"Bridget had just arrived home and begun playing poker with a few old friends.She threw out a card, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's the first time I've met my daughter-in-law! What's wrong with giving her some money!"Eli was speechless."Madam, you came up and threw 500,000 dollars just like that. Aren't you afraid of scaring people?""What should I do? Throw 50,000 dollars instead? That's too stingy."Eli was speechless. Holding onto the railing, he glanced downstairs and saw Tanya ironing her coat in the living room."I almost got dumped because you caused a scene," he joked.Bridget threw the cards while chuckling. "It's good to be dumped. With your unruly behavior, someone should make you suffer a bit.""Are you really my mother?""If you still want to be a good son, hurry up and go through the procedures, live a proper life with Tanya, and try to give me a grandson n

    "What did Her Majesty tell you?"Tanya nearly lost her composure, fighting back laughter.Bridget said nothing more as she left with Benjamin, leaving Tanya and Eli to return to the apartment. The journey back was silent, with Tanya deep in thought. Upon entering, Eli halted her at the entrance.Exhaling deeply, Tanya reached into her pocket and withdrew a check. Eli's gaze fell upon it, noting it was only for $500,000. As he moved to take it, Tanya tucked it back into her pocket. On the bar, a spread of breakfast awaited them - fried eggs, sausages, fruits, and vegetables. Despite the inviting display, Tanya's attention was on Eli."Don't you want breakfast?"With the situation still unclear, Eli's appetite waned. Nonetheless, knowing Bridget's nature, he remained calm. Seating himself opposite Tanya, he nibbled at a sausage, noticing her lack of interest."Is everything alright?" he asked, concerned.Tanya shook her head.The oversized sandwich Bridget had ordered had already
