"It's me who is getting married to you, not anyone else. As long as we both agree to it, we can get married. Why do you care about whether they agree or not?" Charles said, undeniably impatient by her hesitation.

"Edward has gone back to annul my marriage registration with him and he hasn't returned yet. Let's wait for his update first, okay? If he gives us positive news tonight, then I promise you we will get married. If not... If not, then let's talk about it some other time," replied Nancy with a sigh.

Charles teasingly rubbed his stubble against her soft neck and said, "Honey, I've been waiting for you for a long time now. Don't keep me waiting anymore, okay?"

"Yes, I know you have been patient for so long," Nancy said in response before turning around and kissed Charles on his face. Then she added resolutely, "Haven't I told you already that if Edward tells me tonight that our marriage has been annulled, I promise you we will? If not, then it's just not possible..."

"Okay, I'll give Edward a call right now," Charles shot back. He couldn't wait to take out his phone, intending to call Edward immediately.

But before he could do so, Nancy snatched his phone away in a hurry. "No, don't. It hasn't been long yet since Edward went back. It's now morning over there. He's probably still asleep and hasn't gotten up yet."

"You really do consider for him..." Charles remarked, his jealously clearly showing.

"Don't tell me you are jealous agai

d responded, "No, not yet."

Charles' face abruptly turned cold and furious. He demanded anxiously, "Edward, what do you mean?"

Edward stated flatly, "My marriage registration with Nancy has never been valid at all and it didn't take effect."

Charles was so livid that he cursed internally. He couldn't find the words to say his frustration.

To prove his point, Edward sent him a picture of the enquiry result of his marriage with Nancy.

Charles took a quick glance at it and found that the marriage was indeed ineffective and not valid at all. Relieved by what he saw, he then turned off his phone and prepared to go to sleep.

"Are you just going to bed now, Charles? It's so late already," Nancy murmured, still in a daze as she felt someone approaching her.

Of course, it was none other than Charles.

"Yes, I'm sleepy now. Go back to sleep." Charles didn't want to let Nancy know about the conversation that transpired between him and Edward just now.

Besides, he felt bad because he thought that Nancy wasn't as anxious about the situation as he was.

Thus, he felt a little aggrieved by her lack of reaction.

"Well, go to sleep now. You still have to go to work tomorrow morning," mumbled Nancy sleepily.

In fact, as a woman with intuition, Nancy could sense that something was wrong with Charles today. In the past, Charles would usually take out some documents to read or turn on his computer to deal with his work before going to bed.
