The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 140

"Did we ship the wrong couple?"

Judson overheard the murmurs and quickly wrapped an arm around Nancy's shoulder, his charming smile making him look like a modern-day prince. "Sweetheart, let's sit down."

Nancy furrowed her brows slightly but gave a subtle nod, aware of the astonished stares directed their way.

Baldrick's expression darkened immediately, aware that Judson was doing this on purpose. He took a deep breath before standing up with a forced smile. "Nancy, why don't you come and sit over here?" Nancy's seat was conveniently right next to Baldrick. She raised an eyebrow, but before she could move, Judson swiftly slid into the chair.

Baldrick was left speechless, "..."

Nancy felt a headache coming on but, seeing Judson's childish antics, she didn't say anything. She took the seat beside him.

Judson gave Baldrick a smug nod, his deep eyes glinting with an inscrutable coldness. "What are you waiting for? Have a seat, Mr. Sandro."

The way he said "Mr. Sandro" dripped with mockery.

Baldrick chuckled dryly before sitting down. The tension between the two was palpable, like a battlefield ready to erupt.
