Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared

Nancy awkwardly smiled and picked up the folder and bank card. She got up and turned to leave.

Charlie seemed to anticipate her intention to leave and suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Nancy looked back at him in frustration, "Charlie, even though I agreed to become Mrs. Firth, we agreed to start from next month, right? Why are you grabbing my wrist now?" As if reading Charlie's thoughts, she quickly covered her chest with her other arm. "Listen, I have principles. We agreed that it would start next month!"

Charlie shook his head helplessly. "Nan, am I that impatient? What kind of person am I in your heart?"

"Well..."

Nancy certainly wouldn't tell him that in her heart, he was a wealthy and powerful man that she would never let go!

She relaxed and a sweet smile appeared on her face. Blinking at him, Nancy asked cheerfully, "So, what else do you need?"

"Sit down."

Charlie released her and patted the couch next to him.

Nancy tightly held onto her folder and sat down beside him. "What do you want to say?"

Charlie's expression instantly grew serious. "Nan, I know Lily is your biological mother. Regardless of how she treated you, she is still your mother. You can't cut off contact with her." Nancy's heart softened, and even her gaze towards him was filled with tenderness.

She had never talked to him about this matter before, but he understood her feelings. It felt wonderful to be understood by someone.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

"But, Nan, in the future, when you have contact with the Mirren Family, be careful around Samuel and Daniel. They are not simple."

So that was what he wanted to talk about...

Nancy licked her lips and smiled brightly. "I know."

Charlie raised his eyebrow. "Hmm? You know?"

"Yes!"

Nancy nodded. "That day, Samuel brought my mother here and hit her in front of me. First, he wanted to see my reaction. Second, if I felt heartbroken when he hit my mother, I would have to admit my relationship with her. Even though I find his actions repulsive, it made me realize that my attitude

determines my mother's position in the Mirren Family."

"He didn't expect me to accept him as a father like Vivian did, but he maintained my relationship with the Mirren Family through this method."

Charlie looked at Nancy, his gaze growing brighter. Previously, when Nancy said she was not stupid, he thought she was just unwilling to admit it. But now, it seemed that she truly was intelligent. She was even smarter than many women he had

met.

"Hehe..."

Nancy chuckled. "Daniel is even more cunning. According to my reactions, he guessed my intentions. I wanted to do the same, but I wasn't confident enough and was afraid my mother wouldn't agree. So I never brought it up."

"At that moment, he voiced my thoughts as a member of the Mirren Family. He was telling me that if I spoke up, the Mirren Family would definitely push my mother to agree to all my requests!"
