"Nancy, don't get upset. Vivian has always been like that."
Luna stirred her coffee slowly, a mocking smile hidden beneath her lowered gaze.
"Vivian is the youngest pianist in the country, and she has the Mirren Family backing her up. Naturally, she can do whatever she pleases. As for Charlie, he just happens to be the unfortunate party in all this."
Nancy closed her eyes tightly, her heart shaking...
How was she supposed to face Charlie after all this?
After hanging up the phone, she walked back, her mind filled with Charlie's handsome face.
What had Charlie done to deserve this?
Why did he have to marry a woman like Vivian?
"Vivi?"
Seeing her approach, Charlie rose from his seat. Seeing the distressed look on her face, he walked over to her and gently pulled her into his arms, "What's wrong?"
Nancy bit her lip hard, but couldn't find the words to say.
How was she supposed to tell Charlie that Vivian had been unfaithful?
Most men would struggle with such a revelation, not to mention a proud and self-confident man like Charlie.
She shook her head and gently pushed Charlie away, "I'm just tired. I'll be fine after some rest."
"Alright, let's go back then."
Back at the hotel, Nancy laid down on the couch, her back to Charlie. She didn't know how to face him anymore.
