Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared novel Chapter 159

Since that night, Nancy had felt a shift in Charlie's feelings toward her. Their relationship had moved from a flirtation to something more profound - real love.

Vivian's shadow had always been a third presence in their relationship, but now, it seemed to have vanished. Charlie's affections felt genuine, not like a performance anymore.

Back in their room after freshening up, Nancy lay in Charlie's arms, and Nancy toyed with his pajama buttons, listening to his gentle murmurings.

"Charlie..." She began.

"Mmm?" He replied, eyes still closed.

She lifted her head to look at him, his warm breath brushing her forehead. In a playful mood, she poked his chin with her finger.

Charlie opened his eyes, his intense gaze meeting hers. "What's up?"

"Um..."

"Um..." Nancy's voice was soft, almost pleading. "We're heading back to Nustin tomorrow. Could you fly back alone? I want to travel with Vivian and Luna."

Charlie was no fool; he had seen Nancy and Luna talking for half an hour. He could guess the topic of their discussion.

"Swapping?" He asked, a faint smile on his lips.

"Huh?"

"Huh?" Nancy was taken aback. She hadn't expected him to figure it out so quickly. Seeing the smile on his face, her anxiety eased.

"Yes, we're switching tomorrow. Vivian has yet to learn about us. If she sees you, she'll flip out. And that could put my dad in danger."
