"Where are we going?"
Nancy gestured with her hand, "Drive out of the school gate, then turn left. At the second traffic light intersection, turn right. Go straight for 830 meters then turn left again..."
Tom cleared his throat lightly, "Mrs. Firth, please just tell me the address."
Nancy pouted, "I'm just afraid you won't be able to find it. We're going to the Walmart nearby."
A supermarket?
Charlie tilted his head to look at her, "You want me to go to the supermarket with you?"
"Yes."
Nancy nodded proudly, "I'm going to cook for you tonight. I need to buy a lot of stuff, and I can't carry it all by myself."
Upon hearing that she was going to cook, Charlie was immediately unhappy.
He didn’t forget that the last time Nancy cooked for him and his grandfather, she had to leave within a few days.
Suddenly, Nancy felt the air around them suddenly chill. She quickly explained with a smile, "Don't worry, it’s nothing. I just heard this morning that you punished Samuel and Lily last night. It was impressing, so I decided to thank you."
Charlie gave her a deep gaze then turned his head away, "You’re not completely ungrateful."
Seeing that his mood had improved, Nancy suddenly thought Charlie had a good temper.
That morning, she had made him angry, but he didn’t ignore her. Instead, he promptly replied to her message, agreed to accompany her to the supermarket, and even drove into the campus to pick her up. Such a man with a good temperament was rare these days.
However, it was a pity that he didn’t belong to her.
Nancy shook her head, got rid of all the strange thoughts in her mind, and happily went to the supermarket with Charlie.
Once they arrived at the supermarket, Charlie didn't let Tom follow. He took the shopping cart from Nancy's hand and together they strolled around the supermarket like an ordinary young couple.
"This one, this one, and this one also tastes good."
Nancy went straight to the vegetable section, picked out a lot of vegetables and selected a piece of beef, then headed towards the seafood section.
Charlie’s eyes suddenly narrowed on high alert. He looked around and saw the two men who had been following them since they entered the supermarket, watching them intently.
"Char...Darling?"
