Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared novel Chapter 43

"Vivian?"

Charlie nodded solemnly, "Quite a surprise indeed."

"Hmm?"

Nancy blinked, then looked at him in confusion, "That’s it?"

Charlie glanced at her, "What else?"

That didn't seem right!

From Nancy's experience with Charlie recently, she thought Charlie liked Vivian. But Charlie's reaction seemed too calm.

She tilted her head, looking even more confused, "Don't you feel a bit of regret, or even sadness? You should know you’ve spewed coffee at Vivian. If one day I exchange places with her and she's still mad at it, she would definitely get back to you and she might even get frantic. Do you understand how terrible a frantic woman can get? Aren't you afraid?"

Charlie raised his eyebrow, "She won't have that opportunity."

"Why?"

Nancy turned back and lowered her head, rubbing her fingers. Her voice was so low that only she could hear it, "In three days, I’ll switch places with her…"

"Hmm?"

Her voice was so low, so Charlie heard her saying something but didn't get it. He asked in confusion, "What did you say?"

Nancy shook her head, "Nothing."

...

At night, after Nancy took a shower, she sat in her bedroom to dry her hair. Looking out at the night sky, she was upset.

Her mind was filled with memories of her time spent with Charlie. He had issued a threat, yet he had also acted as her protector. Whatever the case may be, Nancy couldn't help but display a faint smile.

Did she really have to leave?

Why did she feel reluctant all of a sudden?
