Substitute

Chapter 96 No One Could Stand Such Meals!

Charlie’s hands holding his knife and fork paused. He suddenly turned to stare at Nancy.

Nancy was very nervous, her fingers tightly gripping the knife. Even her voice trembled slightly,” Maybe… I won’t come back. The next person to enter this room will…will be her.”

She obviously meant Vivian.

Charlie didn’t say anything. He remained fixated on Nancy, which brought a cold sweat to her palms due to his intense gaze. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Possibly unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, Nancy wanted to get up as soon as she had put down her knife and fork. Only then did Charlie’s low voice slowly start, “So, you’re telling me that you are leaving?”

“No.”

Nancy sat back down, inhaling forcefully, “I’m saying goodbye to you.”

Charlie looked down at the food on the table, a faint smile appearing on his thin lips, “Nancy, this will definitely make me paranoid whenever you cook.”

Every time she cooked, it either meant she was leaving or apologizing. No one could stand such meals!

Nancy forced a smile, which looked quite unpleasant, “I’m afraid there may… not be a next time. Having said that, a sharp pain seemed to pierce her heart and she clenched her fists tightly on her lap. She didn’t dare to look at Charlie anymore and lowered her head, as if awaiting her death

sentence.

Charlie raised his eyebrow noncommittally, “Alright, I understand.”

Nancy blinked, puzzled as she raised her head. That was it?

She observed Charlie for a long while. But he was only eating in silence, showing no intention of saying anything further. It upset her all of a sudden,

Was she just a substitute for Vivian in his eyes?

Her departure didn’t seem to affect him at all. Perhaps he was just waiting for Vivian to return?

If she had known how humiliating this would be, she wouldn’t have bothered saying goodbye!

With a “thump“, she quickly stood up, gave Charlie a last fierce look, then turned around to leave.

Charlie watched her back. There was anger in his eyes.

How dared Vivian replace Nandy!

Back in her room, Nancy suddenly felt odd about her emotions. She had always wanted to keep her distance from Charlie. When they had slept with each other the other day, it was she who had said that it was normal for two adults to ‘do that“.

But now, she was acting moody and irritable.

1…”

Nancy suddenly widened her eyes. She couldn’t help but cover her heart with her palm and muttered to herself, “I didn’t just lose my body. I lost my heart too?”

Thinking about that, she immediately took out her phone and sent a message to Sarah.

“Sarah, what are the signs of falling in love with someone?”

Before long, Sarah replied.

“Nan, aren’t you in a romantic relationship right now? Don’t you know whether you’re in love with him or not? Alright, let me tell you, if a woman is in love with a man, she’ll become possessive, suspicious, and also worried about losing him. Check if that’s the case with you.”

Possessive?

Nancy didn’t think she was possessive.

Suspicious? She didn’t seem that way either.

Worried about losing him? Definitely not!

Nancy patted her chest and had a deep breath out “Thanks goodness, I haven’t lost my heart. I’m so scared!”

Just as she thought of that, her phone buzzed again. It was Sarah’s another message.

“If you’re uncertain about what I said before, the most direct sign is that his emotions will affect your mood.”

Nancy, “!!!”
