No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 756

I held Nancy tightly, taking a measure of the people in front of us. They didn’t move any closer, just stared at me with a predatory gaze. Then, I heard hurried footsteps and an anxious voice, “Nancy, don’t be afraid, mommy’s here.” Internally rolling my eyes at this, Shirley burst in, snatching Nancy from my arms and giving me a shove. Well played, Shirley.

After showering Nancy with kisses and soothing words, Shirley turned to glare at me, “Felicia, I trusted you, allowed Nancy to befriend you, and you used our affection and trust to hurt us.”

“Nancy interrupted before I could speak, “Sissy didn’t hurt me.”

Shirley’s face froze for a moment, then she clung to Nancy, sobbing. The men in black didn’t hassle me further; they were part of Shirley’s theatrics, just there to take Nancy away.

Shirley might have wrapped up her drama with Nancy, but my troubles were only beginning. As expected, Lord Clark came to see me.

“Ms. Hudson, you know why I’m here?” Lord Clark cut straight to the chase.

Facing him, I reflected on Shirley's scheme – even the wisest can falter, and now it was Lord Clark’s turn. He had been outmaneuvered by the person closest to him.

“Is Mr. Clark here to ask why I 'kidnapped' his daughter?” I inquired.

He hadn’t ordered any harsh treatment, just a meeting. As Shirley predicted, he felt guilty towards me, hence his leniency. But he was eager to know the reasons, which wasn’t hard to guess.

“Doesn’t Mr. Clark already know?” I replied with a smile.
