Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared

Nancy covered her flushed cheeks and pouted in frustration. "It's all Charlie's fault! Why does he have to be so handsome? It makes my heart race like crazy. Oh my god... It's so embarrassing!" Standing behind the door, she took a long time to calm herself down before walking to her desk with the folder in hand and placing the card on the table.

After thinking about it, she took out her phone and transferred five hundred thousand using the bank app.

Almost instantly after the transfer, her phone started ringing.

Seeing the caller ID, Nancy smiled.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

She put the phone to her ear, her voice surprisingly gentle. "Henry, did you see it?"

Henry blurted out, "Nancy! Did you rob a bank? Why did you transfer five hundred thousand to me all of a sudden?"

"Hey, watch your language!"

Nancy pouted, sighed, and patiently explained, "No, I just got five million from Lily. I thought you needed a new computer and it's about time for you to start dating. With money, you don't have to be so thrifty anymore, and you can do the things you want to do." "Wait, Nancy!"

Henry suddenly raised his voice, "Lily gave you money? Why? And what did Charlie mean with that tweet? I've been calling you for days and you didn't answer. You have to explain everything to me right now, or I'll go back and ask you face-to-face."

After that incident, Nancy did receive several calls from Henry, but she hadn't answered. She only sent a message, "Henry, my mind is a mess right now. I will call you back as soon as I gather my thoughts."

Henry genuinely cared about Nancy, but unfortunately, he didn't have the money.

He couldn't even afford the transportation costs to travel between the two cities. Despite his anxiety, he couldn't come back to find Nancy.

Now that Nancy had figured it out, she told Henry everything that had happened before, including Vivian and Alexander's affair.

After listening, Henry replied in a low voice, "Dad's missing? And there are still no leads?"

"Yeah."

Nancy sighed heavily. "I planned to tell you after finding Dad, afraid that you would worry too much. But it's been a few days and there's still no trace. I was afraid you would be anxious so I told you now."

"Nancy!"

Henry was very angry. "Why didn't you tell me about this? Although I'm not Dad's biological son, I was raised by him. He is my dad! You should have told me about his disappearance right away so we could search for him together!"

"Henry..."

Nancy choked up, almost crying from Henry's affection for Noah. "I know how much Dad means to you, but your studies are important right now. Dad raised you without expecting anything in return. He just hoped that you could stand fall in society and rely on your own abilities to make a name for yourself."

Tears rolled down Nancy's cheeks as she sniffed. "Henry, we come from a poor family. You should understand as well as I do that only by becoming strong can we have the right to speak. You don't want Vivian to threaten me with Dad again, right?"
