"Edward, it's unfair. I finally escaped from the hell, but you're restricting my freedom. What do you think
I am? We can't do this." Although Nancy was not really angry, she was still against what Edward had
said.
"Don't be so wilful, Nancy. I'm serious. Think about it. Fu family is now the most powerful family in this
city. There is no place that Charles can't find you. It's been a while but he still hasn't come to save you.
Why? Doesn't he want you? The public was right that he might have planned your disappearance. It's a
pity that you still love him stubbornly. Nancy, I just can't figure it out. What else do you love about him?"
As she listened to Edward, Nancy's face darkened.
"This can't be true. I believe in Charles..." Her voice was low, but firm, as she said these words over
and over again.
If there was no trust between a man and a woman who were in love, then there was no reason to claim
that they loved each other. Before she disappeared, she remembered having a conversation with
Charles about trust. He had reminded her about the importance of this word, and she had to hold on to
that.
How could she stop believing Charles before she sees him?
"You can trust him. But you have to go with me now. I'm telling you, you have no choice." At this
moment, Edward was so domineering that Nancy felt a little frustrated.
"I don't have my ID card, so I can't buy a plane ticket. That is to say, I can't leave here now. Edward, do
you know that?" Besides, she wanted to see Charles first. She couldn't just believe whatever was said
to her without letting Charles explain. "Edward, even if this club really belongs to Fu family, it may not
be Charles'. It may belong to Derrick. You know that Derrick is a cunning and treacherous man. On the
contrary, Charles is not that kind of person. He is nice and kind."
"Nancy, you are blinded by your so-called love. Derrick is in the hospital now. How could he find
someone to kidnap you? Well, even if Derrick asked someone to kidnap you, can't Charles find this
club? I just want to ask you a question. You have been here for such a long time. Why didn't Charles
come to save you? Tell me." The way Edward emphasized every word was like gradually piercing a
knife on her chest.
Biting her lips, Nancy wondered why Charles hadn't found her yet after a long time.
"He... Maybe he really doesn't know I'm here..." It was obvious in her tone that she had lost confidence.
"You know the answer, yet you still deceive yourself and refuse to believe the truth." Edward snorted
angrily, and then took a deep breath. "Well, Nancy, you go abroad with me first. If one day, Charles has
proven that he has nothing to do with this matter, I will let you come back. But now, you have no choice
but to go with me."
"But..." It sounded so unfair, so Nancy still wanted to argue.
"No more objection!" There was no way Edward would give Nancy back to someone he didn't trust
anymore. "If you insist, I will send you back to the club. You can just wait for Charles to save you there."
Although Nancy knew that he was just bluffing, she also knew that it was hard for her to change
Edward's mind.
Now she seemed to have no other choice but to follow Edward.
She didn't have her phone and couldn't get in touch with Charles.
Moreover, she was also a little disappointed in Charles. Why did Edward find her first instead of
Charles?
Was it true that Charles didn't love her like Edward said?
When she thought about it, her head ached as if it would explode, so Nancy didn't dare to think more.
"Okay, Edward. I will listen to you." Every minute and every second she had spent in the club was full
of sufferings, as if she had been in hell. No matter what, she could never go back to that kind of place
again.
Whatever the reason why Edward took her away, he would never harm her.
"That's right." Relieved, Edward held Nancy's hand.
"Okay." The more she thought about it, the more she got worried about her kids at home.
They would become more and more anxious as the time went by without seeing her.
Her eyes fell on Edward, only to realize that he wouldn't compromise.
Left without a choice, Nancy had to follow Edward obediently.
They kept walking for hours until they arrived at a house.
The house was in the suburb, like a palace standing in the middle. It was luxurious, and solemn, not
inferior to the villa of Fu family.
"Where are we?" asked Nancy.
"My home." After saying that, Edward opened the door and stood aside, waiting for Nancy to come in.
Nancy had to bite the bullet and walk in.
"Why is there no servant in such a big house?" The flowers and plants in the garden were neatly
trimmed, and the pathway was clean. It just snowed but there was no trace of it, so she figured out that
someone cleaned it.
"There are only a few people living here. I don't want to bring you in my family's house, so I brought
you here instead." A small smile appeared on Edward's face.
"Am I ugly? Are you so afraid of being seen by others when we are together?" With eyes wide open,
Nancy touched her face and laughed at herself.
The smile on Edward's face disappeared and he replied in a low voice, "I'm afraid of being seen by
Charles..."
Nancy didn't say anything. She only knew that she should believe Edward now, but she couldn't tell
whether Edward's impression of Charles had changed or not.
Of course, she hoped it did not. She really wanted to see Charles and ask him why he didn't go to the
club to save her.
Even as Edward guessed, she still hoped to hear Charles tell her personally, so that she could forget
the love between them, like waking up from a dream.
Regardless of this possibility, she was still unwilling to leave without seeing Charles.
These thoughts had been running in her head when she followed Edward into the living room.
It was clean, and everything seemed to be well taken care of. She was busy looking around that she
didn't notice Edward who got slippers for her. "Change them. I'll cook something to eat later."
When she looked down on her feet, she had noticed her torn clothes. "Do you have any clothes that I
can wear here?"
"Yes."
Without looking back at her, Edward walked towards the kitchen. "Wow, you can be so cold
sometimes."
Since she said that in a low voice, she thought Edward couldn't hear her.
Surprisingly, he stopped and turned around. "Nancy, what did you say?"
Nancy stuck out her tongue playfully. "Nothing, I said you are more handsome than before."
"You don't have the ability to see through the people around you, but your ability to flatter people has
grown..." With a sneer, Edward went to the kitchen.
After taking off her shoes, Nancy looked at her dirty clothes.
Before leaving the private room, Nancy managed to put on her coat, but since they had ran for so long,
it had been tattered.
So, she took off her clothes and threw them directly into the trash can.
It was too cold that she sneezed loudly.
Nancy rubbed her nose.
"Get yourself some hot water, wash your hands and eat before taking a shower." Edward's concerned
voice came from the kitchen.
