Chapter 344 Parted Ways

"I never said that! Of course, it would be difficult!" Nancy tried to say jokingly, to appease Charles.

Instead, she sounded stiff and reluctant.

She smoothed her hair with a helpless sigh.

Charles was unsatisfied with her answer, and continued driving, feeling dejected.

Wanting to comfort him, Nancy opened her mouth to say something, but couldn’t find the right words to say.

Did she love him?

No, she couldn’t tell him out loud.

"Charles, I’ve been worried about my father. I’m fine now, but how about you let Jill and Fannie go home?" she suggested in a low voice.

"Those women are evil. If I let them go, they might hurt you again. Aren’t you afraid of them?" Charles asked indifferently.

"It’ll be fine. Besides, I have you to protect me, right?" Nancy asked in a soft voice, smiling coyly at him.

Charles was pleased to hear her speak to him like this.

"Are you sure you want to let them go?" If Jill and Fannie were released, he was almost cert

d in confusion.

Charles had just taken the children there. Why did she need to go with him?

"Why are you asking such a silly question? We’re going to get married!" he sneered.

Nancy thought of Angelina and suddenly felt uncomfortable. "You can just take the children there. I don’t have to be there."

"You have to go today," he replied firmly.

Nancy knew that the reason he wanted to take her there was to have a showdown with Angelina.

She expected Angelina to give her a hard time, ever since Charles insisted on marrying her.

Nancy agreed for the time being. If Angelina still refused, it would have nothing to do with her.

If Charles couldn't persuade Angelina, then...

Nancy’s eyes darkened at the thought of their possible separation.

Even if she intended to marry Charles, the thought of parting with him also crossed her mind multiple times!

Sometimes, peoples’ thoughts and actions contradicted with one another. Nancy was no exception to this!
