Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared novel Chapter 91

Just as Charlie's face was about to lean in, Nancy's cell phone, which was placed on the coffee table, rang inappropriately, along with the vibrating sound.

Nancy and Charlie's eyes met. Both were stunned for a moment.

Suddenly realizing something, Nancy quickly turned her face and felt it. Only then she realized that her face was quite hot.

Oh dear...

What was she doing exactly?!

Embarrassed, she bent over, picked up the phone, and saw the caller ID. She gave Charlie a dry laugh, "I... need to take a call."

Charlie was extremely frustrated. Regardless of the atmosphere or the feeling, everything was in place just now. But it was interrupted by a phone call.

He nodded and gentlemanly said, "Go ahead."

Nancy didn't avoid Charlie. She put the phone to her ear, "Sarah, anything up?"

Sarah Brown was one of the few friends that Nancy had at school. She was also the one who told Nancy about what had happened to Fiona today.

"Oh dear, Nan.” Sarah's anxious voice came from the earpiece, "It’s about today's drama, Benjamin personally said it has nothing to do with you. Then the school got the surveillance footage, found the person who pushed Fiona. It’s the one who has always been bullied by Fiona..."

Nancy had guessed most of these things when she left the hospital with Charlie. She calmly asked, "And then?"

Hearing her so calm, Sarah suddenly raised her voice, "What then?! Nan, do you know the entire school is discussing this news now? Many people are saying that Benjamin clears your name because he’s afraid of the person behind you. Fiona said publicly that you are having an affair with an old man. Now everyone believes it. They’re saying very bad things about you..."

Nancy rolled her eyes in silence. The seemingly simplest place, the school, was actually where many people harbored dirty thoughts.
