Nancy was about to argue with Charlie when she suddenly recalled his words.
He said she didn't have parents-in-law... Did that mean Charlie's parents were dead?
Although she had been "married" to Charlie for three years, during these three years, she had always been cautious and never met anyone from the Firth Family. Whenever someone wanted to see her, she would make excuses about being too busy with work.
Moreover, with Vivian's workload, in reality, she only spent less than one-third of the three years at Charlie's villa playing the role of Mrs. Firth, so she really had no idea who else was in Charlie's family.
Seeing that she was going to scratch him but suddenly withdrew her hand, Charlie shook his head disappointedly. "Nan, why are you so cautious? Girls have the right to lose their tempers."
He just wanted to divert Nancy's attention, but looking at the sadness in her eyes, he could only embrace her again.
Nancy didn't resist and obediently lay in his arms, her eyes becoming redder. Her father was missing and her mother was not with her. Charlie was just as pitiful as her...
Charlie didn't know that Nancy was sad because she sympathized with him. He gently comforted her and told her jokes. Finally, she forgot about it for the time being.
The next day, both of them woke up early. Nancy didn't actually like wearing makeup as she was in the bloom of her youth. After hesitating for a long time, she still applied light makeup.
However, this time, she didn't imitate Vivian's style of makeup. Instead, she applied a fresh and elegant look that, if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't notice she had makeup on.
Soon, they arrived at the Firth Family's old mansion. When Nancy entered the room full of people, her previous calmness suddenly turned into anxiety.
