Nancy looked at Fannie's smooth shoulder, and then at the almost uncontrollable expression on
Caspar's face.
Then she turned around and ran out angrily. Tears streamed down her face as she ran on the street
alone. She didn't even care if anyone would see her being miserable.
At that time, it felt as though she had lost the whole world. Being cheated on by the man she trusted
the most broke her.
They had been together for so long, but in the end, she found out that the man she loved was a
complete scumbag.
Then she met Charles.
There was no doubt that she had loved Charles deeply. If truth be told, she was still in love with him.
But there were too many bumps on their road that she couldn't bear, so she wanted to escape from
him.
There was no heartache or loss with him, only sadness and confusion.
If Charles was just another man who would be part of her past, Nancy didn't know what to do with her
future anymore. Who would be the man she would marry? Who would be the man she would stay with
for the rest of her life?
Or, she just had to be alone for the rest of her life?
No. She still had her children. Even if she lost the man she loved, at least she had the two children by
her side, and her beloved career.
The innocent girl she used to be was long gone. She was now a mother of two children. She had to
force herself to be strong.
There were so many thoughts that had been running on her mind.
But her train of thought was disturbed when her phone suddenly rang.
As soon as she saw Doris’ name on the screen, she answered the call. "What’s up, Doris?"
"Nancy, I've seen the photos online. Charles is so handsome and you are so beautiful. You were
blushing. Is it exciting because you haven't kissed him for a long time? I saw you hug each other. I
know you two have made up. I'm really happy for you." The moment Nancy heard the word "kiss", her
face immediately heated in embarrassment
"Don't be so sentimental. Now I..." When she was about to say that her relationship with Charles had
reached the dead end, she hesitated. In the end, she decided to just change the topic instead. "What
about you? You always stick around Jay and often kiss him. You two are like a young couple who just
entered a relationship. How childish!"
"I don’t understand what you’re saying. What do you mean I often kiss him? I only kiss Ace, not Jay."
After a short pause, Doris added coldly, "I don't know what's wrong with Jay these days. I haven't seen
him for several days. I asked him and he told me that he was very busy with the company. I was
worried when I saw him in low spirits. The reason why I called you is because I wanted you to ask
Charles if something happened to the Jay's company which was making him stressed."
Of course, Nancy was stunned when she heard how serious Doris’ voice was. She hadn't heard of
anything wrong about Jay's company.
Well, it was not as if she was paying attention to it.
How could she know if something happened?
However, considering her relationship with Charles now, she couldn't ask him anything.
So Nancy persuaded, "Stop thinking too much, Doris. If something happened to Jay's company, the
internet would report it. You wouldn't have to guess. Don't worry. Nothing will happen."
"Then why is he always in a hurry to leave the house every day? Oh, by the way, there is another thing.
It has been three days since Jay slept in the same room with us. He said he had a cold, but I don't think
so at all. Do you think he has that disorder again? I mean that thing." Helpless, Doris couldn’t help but
sigh. If it wasn’t the case, then what was wrong with Jay this time?
Nancy, who had been very upset, burst into laughter when she heard what Doris said.
"You're such a paranoid. Let me tell you, men probably get tired of that thing too. You're a doctor in the
andrology department. How can you not know that? Don't think too much. It's all right."
"Really?" There was a hint of disbelief in Doris’ voice.
"Of course it's true. When did I lie to you? If Jay still doesn't ask you to do it with him in the next ten
days, it will be hard to say..." There were several reasons why a person didn’t want to be so intimate
with his or her partner, and Nancy knew it too. They couldn’t just jump into conclusions just because
Jay had a disorder before.
"Well, maybe I'm thinking too much. I hope nothing bad will happen to us. But in the past two days, my
eyelids have been twitching and my heart is restless. I always feel like something big is going to blow
up on my face one day. I really envy you and Charles. Alas, love is changeable. The two people who
are glued to each other one second will be incompatible as fire and water the next second."
They both fell silent for a while after Doris finished her words. Nancy thought it over, and grinned when
she realized that what she said was true. "I've known you for a long time, but so far, what you just said
is the most reasonable thing I've heard from you."
The reason why Nancy agreed with her was because she and Charles were exactly like that.
One moment, they were inseparable, then the next they couldn’t stand each other.
It had always been like that, especially these past few days. "You made fun of me again. Anyway, Ace
is going to sleep. Bye."
"Bye." The call ended just as when they had arrived at her destination.
"Miss, we’re here." As soon as the car stopped, Nancy thanked the driver and got out of the car.
The taxi driver suddenly poked his head out and said, "Wait up! I now remember you. You are the
pediatrician from the municipal hospital. Your name is Nancy, right? Last time my nephew was injured,
you performed the operation for him. The operation was very successful, and now he can jump and run
again. He can play everywhere. That boy is so naughty!"
These words warmed Nancy’s heart. It was her greatest happiness to be recognized by her patients,
not because she wanted fame, but because she was able to help them.
"Thank you." What the driver had said was like a spring breeze that blew into her heart, which swept
away the haze around her heart in an instant.
Happiness came in the simplest ways.
"Don’t mention it. I should be the one thanking you. Bye!" Then the driver stepped on the gas and left.
For a moment, Nancy stood there, savoring the happiness she was feeling, and then she walked
towards the kindergarten.
Just a few steps away, a familiar voice came from behind. "Miss Ning, you're here?"
When Nancy turned around, she saw Hiram who just got out of the car.
'It must be Charles who asked him to pick up the kids,' she thought.
"Yes, I'm free today, so I want to pick up the kids." A smile appeared on her face.
"Yes. I saw you get out of the taxi just now. Where is Mr. Fu? Why didn't he come with you?" Curiosity
was evident in his eyes when he asked this.
After all, Hiram had been with the kids since last night when Charles said Nancy was sick and had to
have an intravenous drip in the hospital. She was sick, so Charles should've accompanied her today to
pick up the children. But why did Nancy come alone by a taxi?
It didn't seem to be Charles' style of doing things! What happened between the two of them again?
Whenever there was something wrong with their relationship, it was Hiram who suffered. That was why
he couldn't help but be worried.
"Maybe he has something to deal with in the company, so I came by myself." What did Nancy mean by
'maybe'?
Nancy's ambiguous expression made Hiram a little confused. His brows furrowed as he thought of
what had happened again. Alas, Hiram felt his head was beginning to ache.
