Ever since Edward had left to go abroad, he had been feeling a little too lonely. He was even considering to come back to his country earlier than planned.
However, whenever he imagined having to see Nancy and Charles showing off their love, he couldn't help but feel jealous. He couldn't pour out his loneliness, neither could he find anyone to pour it onto.
For that reason, he was caught in between a dilemma.
Whenever he had nothing else to do, he would just go to the bar to drink alone.
Just two days ago, he had just met a lovely woman there. When he first saw her, Edward almost called out Nancy's name.
If only that woman hadn't worn a black dress that night, Edward would have treated her like she was Nancy.
But based on his impression, he knew that Nancy would never wear a black dress.
Despite that knowledge, Edward couldn't resist calling out for her. Cautiously, he asked, "Nancy?"
The woman raised her head and raised her goblet at him. "Sir, you seem to have mistaken me for someone else. Didn't you?"
There was a subtlety in her eyes that reminded him of Nancy.
However, it didn't seem to possess the same kind of vibrant spirit.
In a daze, Edw
hard, okay?" Edward instructed Bobby.
"I will. Goodbye, Uncle Edward."
"Bye." Edward ended the call.
"Who is that child? What's your relationship with the boy?" Summer Xia asked curiously.
"He's my child. What else do you think it is?" Edward was furious from what he had just heard, so when he spoke to her again, he was now brusque and distant.
Summer Xia's facial reaction shifted drastically. Her face, which had already gotten red from all the alcohol, turned even redder than it was before.
"So, you have a wife and a child? Did your wife run away with another man?" Summer Xia was in utter confusion and completely misunderstood him as she wasn't able to clearly hear the conversation between Edward and Bobby. She couldn't seem to grasp Edward's relationship with the boy at all.
Now, when she heard Edward's unapologetic words, she couldn't help but feel disappointed and upset.
"Yes, you're right. Someone had taken my wife away. Do you think now that I am inadequate? You can leave now. Go!" Edward was just annoyed, so he simply opened the door and gestured for her to leave.
Summer Xia held her clothes in her arms and ran off as she burst into tears.
