Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared

Chapter 67: Nancy, Let Me Take You Home

"No...

Nancy didn't stop crying, and was crying even louder.

Living in poverty with her father and brother had always been her life.

Yet, she never saw it as suffering. Her father was like a sturdy and tall tree, sheltering her from wind and rain, becoming her most solid support in her heart.

When her father was stolen away by Vivian and Lily, Nancy wasn't defeated. Because the burden of taking care of her brother fell onto her shoulders, she constantly told herself to be strong and not give in. However, all her resilience was shattered by Lily's words. She finally realized how worthless she was in her mother's heart.

Charlie's words, "Don't cry, I'm here", gave her the same stability as she felt with her father. His words comforted her but also made her more afraid.

The warning from Lily was still echoing in her ears, yet she craved more the embrace of this man.
