After all the commotion and insults she threw, Lucy started to see a friend in Nancy. Something in the latter seemed so genuine and comforting, which the former had never felt in any of her friends before.
"I know. I will never listen to her anymore." She nodded while flashing a sweet smile. "Good girl!" Nancy expressed while locking her arms around Lucy.
"My daughter is so innocent and pure. She's not devious!" Lucy's father muttered in support of her daughter.
"I agree with you, sir. I also think that she is a kind girl!" Nancy agreed, nodding. She also thought Lucy was under the influence of a bad friend like Dorothy; that was why she was prompted to act rudely before. But now, she could see through the young woman.
"Thank you, Nancy!" Tears began forming on the corner of her eyes as she felt delighted with all the compliments.
No one had expected such a turn of events.
Everyone was surprised while clapping their hands for Nancy.
"Grandpa, how is Nancy?" Joseph suddenly asked, holding a glass on his hand while smiling with admiration.
"Well, she's a smart girl and a much better one than Dorothy," the patriarch of the Fu family responded coldly. Even with his old age, Frederic had a talent in seeing through people's eyes. Just a while ago, he saw the inherent fury and fiery of Doris and Nancy's calmness.

"Thank you." Nancy was too tired to even fight with him on this one. So instead, she merely replied in an indifferent tone.
"Why do you have to be so polite and distant to me?"
A hint of hurt and disappointment coated Charles' voice. But he refrained himself from being so stubborn now that Nancy evidently looked exhausted.
"Come on. Just drink this coffee. It will make you feel better." Then, he took her hand and gave her the cup.
"You don't have to do all of these, Charles. In fact, you can go home now." Seeing the sadness in his eyes, Nancy felt terrible for being so cold towards the man.
Charles rubbed his eyebrows helplessly. Having been in the business world for so many years, he thought there was nothing complicated.
But meeting Nancy and falling in love with her definitely changed his mindset.
Everything he did, his efforts and hard work, seemed nothing to her at all.
"I want to take care of you all my life. Why won't you let me do that, Nancy?" he lovingly said as he stared deep into her eyes.
