"Humph, do you think I don't want to? It's him who doesn't want to see other women." Angelina rolled her eyes at him.
"I can help you find a woman," offered Joseph.
"How could you know any good woman?" Crossed arms, she looked at him in disbelief.
It was true that Joseph knew a lot of women, but Angelina thought only a few of them were decent.
Therefore, she didn't like them.
"Auntie, don't say that. I know a lot of women, and there are good ones among them!" Why did she look at him like he was not capable of having decent friends?
After she staring at him for a few seconds, she replied, "Okay, find me one some other day."
"Okay, that's a deal!"
She calmly folded the newspaper and put it in the box.
Meanwhile, Charles was trying to talk to Nancy about the notice. "What? Don't you want to say anything?"
"I don't have anything to say. It has nothing to do with me. You can date whoever you want. You can leave if you want. I won't stop you," said Nancy nonchalantly.
Disappointment crept in when he heard her answer. "Am I that unimportant to you? Don't I have a place in your heart?"
"Right now, nothing else is important to me but my children. My heart belongs to them." Although she was affected by the news, she kept a stoic face.
"How cruel you are!" Charles felt a heavy blow in his heart.
Sometimes, he felt that Nancy was like a gust of wind. The more he wanted to catch her, the more he couldn't.
This made Charles feel bad.
No words came out his mouth, but his heart was crying in pain.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Doris came to pick up Nancy. She was wearing a short dress. She had been pregnant for two months, but her figure was still alluring.
Her eyebrows raised when she realized that Nancy didn't even bother to change her clothes. The latter didn't even put on makeup.
"Are you seriously attending the reunion like this?" Doris threw her a disdainful glance.
"I don't see anything wrong with my clothes, Doris. It's not like I'm attending a banquet! What do I need to dress up for?" Nancy just took off her white gown and combed her hair.
"Okay, you are beautiful, all right?" With a smile, Doris put her hand on Nancy's shoulder and walked out.
When they went downstairs, a white Bentley caught Nancy's attention. It actually stood out among the other cars in the parking lot.
Nancy had a hunch that it was Doris', so she turned to her with curious eyes. "Whose car is this?"
Sure enough, Doris proudly replied, "Mine."
"Oh, you have a new car!
Congrats!" joked Nancy.
"It's from Jay. I didn't ask for it." She was about to open the door when Nancy came over and asked for the keys.
"Let me drive. You sit at the back."
Doris sat at the backseat. "Nancy, what's going on with the news today? Why is Charles still asking for a marriage? What does he want?"
Nancy started the car before she replied, "It's Angelina who did it."
"What about Charles? Didn't he explain it to you?" asked Doris.
"Yes, he did. He told me not to take it seriously." A faint smile crossed upon her face.
Her phone rang right after she spoke.
"Speaking of Charles, here he calls.” After she cleared her throat, she answered the call. "What? You went on a blind date?"
Although it was supposed to be a joke, jealousy was still evident in her voice.
Charles frowned. He didn't want to disturb Nancy, but it suddenly occurred to him that Ethan was Nancy's classmate. So was Jerome.
