Nancy turned her face towards the car window, completely ignoring him.
Charlie glanced at her with indifference, and his voice suddenly deepened, "I saw that you were in a bad mood, so I took you out."
Nancy was a bit taken aback, turned her face from the window, and looked at Charlie in surprise.
He came to pick her up from school today, and took her out to have fun because he had noticed her bad mood?
Charlie didn’t wait for her to answer and continued, “I admit that you played a good game of pool. But after winning, you took the money, turned and left me behind. Nancy, do you think that’s right?”
Nancy felt a bit guilty. If it hadn’t been for Charlie taking her out, even if her pool skills were superb, she wouldn't have been able to win much in the ordinary games...
Charlie scoffed, “When you needed me, you called me darling and even kissed me. After using me, you just left me behind. Nancy, you really kicked down the ladder after climbing up!”
Looking at the disappointment on his face, Nancy felt extremely guilty.
Her action just now was indeed not right.
And tomorrow she would have to get Vivian back. From then on... she might not even have the chance to see Charlie again.
Deep down, she didn’t want to upset Charlie, nor did she want him to remember her as someone who was ungrateful.
She leaned towards Charlie at once, appealingly grasping his arm.
"Please, don't be mad. I just won a lot of money and got carried away. You must understand that I've never seen so much money before. And the money is in my bag now. It really belongs to me! Please forgive me. I’m sorry.”
Charlie lowered his eyelids, glancing at the little hands wrapped around his arm. A faint smile appeared on his lips, "Alright, I can forgive you this time. Don’t do that again.”
Sitting at the driver's seat, Tom couldn’t believe his ears.
This was the first time he had ever seen a man soothe a woman like that!
