Chapter 62 A Fleeting Interest

At that moment, there was only one thing on Nancy's mind––to find the kid.

"Sister, I can't walk as my foot is injured. If I go with you, I will only slow you down. So, here's the address. You can go there yourself," said Fannie.

"Okay." It was a tight situation for Nancy, but even if she needed to jump off a cliff to find the child, she would.

After hanging up, Fannie sent an address to her––a place which the latter had never heard of.

So, she turned on the navigation and continued driving until the sun had already set.

It was already dark when Nancy left the asphalt road and drove on an unpaved path in the countryside.

Surprisingly enough, she did not feel scared at all, given that she was alone in the middle of nowhere. She was too distracted with the urge to find the kid.

As a result, she lost track of time and had no idea how long it took her to reach the address. But to her horror, it was just a deserted and empty space. Not even a single building could be spotted anywhere near it.

As she squinted her eyes trying to spot something, Nancy finally realized that she was, once again, deceived by Fannie.

'Damn it! It was all Fannie and Jill's plan!' she ranted internally, hitting the steering wheel to ease her annoyance.

When Charles looked down at his watch, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and the party had already begun. However, Nancy was still nowhere to be seen.

"Charles, what are you doing? The guests are already here. Why are you still standing outside?" Angelina walked out and asked in an impatient voice after finding him.

And left with no choice, Charles had to go to the hall with her even though his mind was wandering someplace else.

"Daddy, why hasn't mommy come yet? She promised me she would come. You also told me she'd be here. You won't lie to me, right?" Bobby asked after walking up to him. In fact, he sounded as if he was complaining that Nancy was nowhere near him at this party.

"Yes, of course, I won't lie to you. She might just be a little busy right now. I'm sure she'll be here in a while. Play with your friends first. I'll let you know when Mommy's here." Charles fondly rubbed Bobby's hair and tried to comfort him, even though he wasn't sure if Nancy would indeed show up tonight.
