Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared

At seven in the evening, Charlie noticed that Nancy was still lying on the sofa. Shaking his head gently, he picked up the phone to order dinner.

Half an hour later, the waiter brought their meals. Charlie approached Nancy, gently nudged her arm and said, "Nan..."

Nancy initially ignored him, but a grumble from her stomach betrayed her. Charlie chuckled softly, grabbed her arm, and forcibly pulled her up from the sofa.

"No matter what's on your mind, you can't skip meals."

He led her to the dining table and gently sat her down, "I ordered your favorites, let's eat."

"Thanks."

Nancy picked up her fork and placed a piece of her favorite salmon into her mouth. As she chewed, her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish, bringing a delighted smile to Charlie's face. "Regardless of what's making you unhappy, eating is a priority in life. Tell me what you want to eat tomorrow, and I'll have it delivered to the set."

Nancy looked up at him, blinking, "Aren't you going home?"

"Why would I go home?"

Charlie glanced at her, placing a piece of shrimp into her bowl, "I can handle my work from here."

Nancy suddenly found the salmon less appetizing.

He was staying here all this time, probably for Vivian, right?

But that man from today would surely come looking for her, or Vivian. If Charlie saw that, wouldn't he be heartbroken?

With this thought, she quickly cautiously looked at him, "Charlie, can I ask you a question?"

Charlie arched an eyebrow, "Sure."

"Um..."

Nancy composed herself, "If, and I mean if, your wife were to... cheat on you..."

Charlie's deep eyes narrowed instantly, and his intense gaze pierced Nancy's face like a sharp knife,, "Are you cheating on me?" "It's not me!"

Nancy hurriedly clarified, "I'm just making a hypothetical situation, if... do you understand?"

Charlie stared at her intently, clearly seeing the panic in her eyes. This wasn't a hypothetical situation, was it? It had already happened...

His face darkened terribly, his voice icy cold as he warned, "In my world, there's no divorce, only die!"

Nancy was taken aback.

His gaze was terrifying, and his voice sent chills down her spine.

She didn't doubt his words one bit. He would definitely follow through.

She had initially wanted to indirectly probe him, but with his current attitude, how could she say it?

What if one day the news reported that a famous pianist was dismembered by her husband? Even if she wasn't the murderer, she could be considered an accomplice...

QUMS

Forget it, she wouldn't care anymore. After swapping places with Vivian, whatever happened to Vivian had nothing to do with her. Whether Vivian lived or died was none of her concern...

Wait, that's not right...

Nancy suddenly thought, if Charlie really killed Vivian, wouldn't he be breaking the law and face imprisonment? "Charlie..."

Thinking about this, Nancy's eyes welled up with tears, and a sharp pain twinged in her heart, "Could you please not be this way? There are many good girls in this world, you can always start over..."
