A 23-year-old woman and a 28-year-old man playfully wrestled on the bed like two children.
Nancy naturally couldn't match him and laughed so hard that she almost couldn't breathe. She finally raised her hand in defeat. "Alright, alright, I give up. You can't bully me anymore."
Charlie stopped, placed his hands on both sides of her body, and looked down at her from above. There was a soft look in his eyes. "Nan, from now on, besides your father, you have me."
She had him!
His words were like a thunderclap in Nancy's ears. Although she had never thought that she would be tied to a man so quickly, her affection for Charlie made her heart flutter.
Her mind went blank, and she stared at him with her wide eyes as if trying to see through him.
Charlie sighed softly. "I've said so much. Won't you give me some response?"
Response?
Humph!
Nancy glared at him in annoyance, pushed him away, and propped herself up on one elbow.
"You deceived me, pretended to be pitiful, and made me serve you before. I was so afraid that you would kill Vivian and then yourself. I've endured too much mental pressure because of you."
She turned her head and shrugged at him. "Now that the matter is resolved, I'm going to find my dad. Excuse me, Young Master Firth!"
She was about to get off the bed when Charlie grabbed her arm forcefully.
She looked at him angrily. "What are you doing?"
Charlie chuckled softly, grabbed her arm, and lay down directly. Nancy nearly fell on top of him. Fortunately, she managed to brace herself against the bed with her other hand, preventing him from succeeding.
"Let go of me!"
