Chapter 78 Bear it in Your Mind
“Um, please seat yourself.”
Nancy pointed at the chair across from her. Charlie chuckled and walked over to sit down.
Nancy licked the salad dressing off the corner of her lips, summoned up her courage, and stealthily glanced over at Charlie.
Charlie was incredibly handsome. Women would be deeply impressed by him at a glance. He seemed to grow even more handsome the more you looked at him. Without any exaggeration, he was handsome in every angle.
She w wondered to herself how much a man as handsome as him would cost… Although she had never been with a rent boy before, she assumed he would command a higher price than those men in the nightclubs.
With this thought in mind, she opened her bag and pulled out her wallet. She e stealthily eyed Charlie, drew out several large bills, but instantly realized that they probably weren’t enough for someone of Charlie’s value. Gritting her teeth, she pulled out all the cash she had in her wallet.
“Here…”
She placed the large bills on the table and pushed them towards Charlie, “All is yours.”
Charlie frowned at the money on the table, then he looked at her in anger, “What does this mean?”
“… um…”
Nancy bit down on her lip nervously and muttered, “I honestly didn’t know what I did last night. I would never have done that if I had been conscious.
Charlie was instantly displeased. His icy glare sent shivers down Nancy’s spine.
But what had happened couldn’t be undone, and Nancy had to deal with it. She forced herself to push the money toward Charlie
“I know I was wrong last night, so… this is the compensation.”
“What?”
It was ridiculously funny! Charlie laughed, “Nancy, what do you think I am? A prostitute you pay after sleeping with?”
“No, I…”
Nancy knew she did wrong. But she was left with no choice. She struggled to explain.
“No matter what, Charlie, you are still Vivian’s husband I was out of my mind last night, and I am sorry. But since it already happened, I don’t know how else to make it up to you. I thought giving you this money might ease the absurdness…”
Seeing Charlie getting more and more displeased, she hurriedly continued, “I know this money means nothing to you, b–but I don’t have anything else. I had won six hundred thousand dollars, but I need to pay for my dad’s treatment and look after Henry. I hope you won’t reject this money.
Chapter 78 Bear it in Your Mind:
It’s better than not offering you anything…”
“Nancy!”
Charlie was completely mad, “I’ll say this one more time. It’s you who married me. And your name is on the marriage certificate with me. You’re my wife, the real Mrs. Firth. Please bear it in your mind. Stop mentioning Vivian in front of me!”
“Huh?”
Taken aback initially, Nancy flushed redder. She shook her head, slightly in disbelief, “No, that’s not right. Everyone knows it’s Vivian whom you married, not me. This marriage is also a union of the Mirren family and the Firth family. It has nothing to do with me. I’m a nobody.”
Her voice trailed off as sadness crept into her eyes, “Charlie, one day I’ll have to swap places with Vivian. That day won’t be far off. We don’t belong to the same world. I apologize for what happened last night. But we’re both adults. If you’re unhappy about it, 1 can give you all my
money…”
