Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared

Chapter 159: Swapping?

Since that night, Nancy had felt a shift in Charlie's feelings toward her. Their relationship had moved from a flirtation to something more profound - real love.

Vivian's shadow had always been a third presence in their relationship, but now, it seemed to have vanished. Charlie's affections felt genuine, not like a performance anymore. Back in their room after freshening up, Nancy lay in Charlie's arms, and Nancy toyed with his pajama buttons, listening to his gentle murmurings.

"Charlie..." She began.

"Mmm?" He replied, eyes still closed.

She lifted her head to look at him, his warm breath brushing her forehead. In a playful mood, she poked his chin with her finger.

Charlie opened his eyes, his intense gaze meeting hers. "What's up?"

"Um..."

"Um..." Nancy's voice was soft, almost pleading. "We're heading back to Nustin tomorrow. Could you fly back alone? I want to travel with Vivian and Luna."
