Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared novel Chapter 134

"I, I..." Nancy protested, her small fist waving at Charlie. "What do you mean? I have earned a PhD, you know? And I have taken care of my father and younger brother, so I am not simple-minded at all!

Charlie caught her angry little fist and held it tightly in his palm. "Nan, you're not dumb. But when it comes to your father, your IQ seems to drop to zero."

As he spoke, he tugged Nancy closer to him, and she didn't resist, leaning against him.

"If I hadn't taken your phone and read Luna's messages, would you have rushed home impulsively, only to be manipulated by Luna like a lamb to the slaughter?"

Upon reflection, Nancy realized he was right.

Whenever was involved with her father, she would lose control.

"But... Luna..."

"Luna wants to pull you into the entertainment industry."

Charlie declared firmly. "Don't be fooled by her. Your personality doesn't fit the cutthroat world of show business."

Nancy licked her lips and looked up at him, curiosity in her eyes. "So where do I fit in?"

Charlie looked down at her, thinking, "Clearly, you to me, as Mrs. Firth!"

But he couldn't say that out loud yet, so he continued, "The entertainment industry is complex, and Luna is too domineering. She only cares about money, not whether something is really in the best interests of the artist. You're too naïve."

"No way!"

Nancy pushed him away, huffing angrily, "I'm not that stupid! I can think rationally. Except for things involving my father."
