Chapter 193 Trust No One Justin made his way over.
Nancy glanced over his shoulder. âAre you the first to leave?â
âYes, I left first. Letâs go. Get in the car.â Justin nodded in response.
He was suddenly overcome with panic the moment he saw Nancy.
He had a premonition that she would leave him.
In that moment, he abruptly came to a realization. Why had he seemingly forgotten about her during this period of time?
It was as if he subconsciously didnât want to return to her side.
Nancy had no idea what was going through Justinâs mind. There was a shift in the emotional connection between them.
They got in the car.
Nancy remained silent.
Truly, he was at a loss for words.
Since when had the two of them suddenly run out of things to say when they met?
âIâve indeed been incredibly busy lately. Are you upset?â Suddenly, Justin grasped Nancyâs hand.
Her hands were soft and small, easily fitting entirely within his grasp.
He should have set his heart straight.
He shouldnât break her heart because of other women.
Nancy shook her head. âIâm not upset. I know youâre busy every day, all for the sake of our home. So, Iâm not mad at you.â
âWhy did you run off as soon as you saw me just now? Weâre a married couple. If thereâs anything youâre uncertain about, come to me instead of making wild guesses. Understand?â Justin gently advised.
At this point, Nancy was no longer angry. She just felt an emptiness inside, as if a piece was missing from her heart.
She wanted to ignore it, but it was still there undeniably.
The Justin standing before her was unmistakably the same Justin she had known for so many years.
Chapter 193 Trust No One But...
âI thought you had something important to discuss with your friends. I was sure my presence would make you all feel restrained.â
Nancy came up with an excuse.
Justin gripped Nancyâs hand tightly. âRemember what I told you. No matter what happens or what anyone says to you, just donât believe them.â
âWhy would you suddenly say that?â Nancy was stunned.
Has anyone say something to me that they shouldnât have?
It feels like Justin is quite serious.
Justin realized the ominous premonition that had just sprung from the depths of his heart. As a result, those words spilled from his lips without thinking. He lowered his gaze and said, âItâs nothing. I just happened to think of it and said it. Iâm often away on business and donât have much time to spend with you. Itâs inevitable that you might overthink things.â
Nancy felt that Justin truly understood her. âTo be honest, Iâve been doing a lot of thinking recently about everything I should and shouldnât. Once I calm down, I remind myself that youâre already so busy and itâs tough on you. Therefore, I mustnât overthink.â
Observing the sincere and wholehearted trust that Nancy had in him, Justinâs could feel his heart tightened.
What on earth have I been doing all this time!
This is absurd!
He couldnât bear to lose Nancy. If she found out about his reckless behavior during this period, she wouldnât be able to handle it!
Once they arrived home, the two of them chatted for a while. After their conversation, Nancy went to take a bath. Justin, on the other hand, headed to the study and made a phone call.
âYouâll tender your resignation tomorrow, and Iâll give you a sum of money. From this day forward, I donât want to see you again, let alone entertain any of your delusions. Itâs best if our past remains buried.â
The words that slipped from his lipsâeach word steeped in his ruthless indifference.
When Gwendolyn received the call, she initially felt elated because it was Justin who rang. However, in the next instant, she was stunned, and her face drained of color.
She thought she had misheard.
âMr. Hoffman, did I do something wrong? Is that why you want me to leave?â
Gwendolyn was in a state of panic. Everything had seemed fine until today. He had not been going home for a while, and she thought he wouldnât have feelings for Nancy, who in her eyes, Chapter 193 Trust No One He would soon give her a title.
Finished As a result, they had made love again in the morning. Now, he had turned against her just a few hours later!
Justin had little patience, and his expression was icy. âI donât want Nancy to know about your existence. Remember my words.â
After uttering the final sentence, he didnât give Gwendolyn a chance to respond before he promptly hung up the phone.
Gwendolyn stared at the phone where the call was ended abruptly. Her eyes widened, clearly finding it hard to believe.
âHe didnât want Nancy to know about my existence?â
âJustin, arenât you being too heartless?â
âDuring this period, weâve spent almost every day together, from dawn till dusk. Yet, do you still not hold me in your heart? Iâve given so much, and Iâve loved you for a very long time. No one knows the amount of effort and hardship Iâve endured to enter your company. But no matter how outstanding I am, you never gave me a second glance, treating me just like any other employee. Iâve truly given so much just to be seen by you. I wonât leave. I canât possibly leave!â
âIf Nancy were superior to me, I would have accepted it. But she canât match up to me in every aspect!â
Gwendolyn gnashed her teeth and muttered to herself in frustration in the spacious three hundred square meter flat.
After ending the call, Justin immediately removed Gwendolyn from his contact list.
Her WhatsApp contact was also moved to the blacklist.
Even the call history was completely erased.
It was as if his action could completely erase Gwendolynâs existence.
In truth, Nancy never checked his phone. She trusted him, firmly believing that he would never do anything to hurt her.
However, during this period...
With a frosty expression, Justin collected his thoughts and exited the study.
When he returned to the bedroom, Nancy had already taken a bath and changed into her loungewear.
Seeing Justin return to the bedroom, Nancy asked in a relaxed tone, âAre you done with your work?â
3/4 Chapter 193 Trust No One so quickly?
Justin hummed in affirmation, âItâs been taken care of.â
Finished âI forgot to mention something to you on my way back earlier,â Nancy began, âIâve found a job. Iâll be starting tomorrow as an assistant to the famous actor, Ambrose Stark. You know that youâve been so busy lately, and itâs been almost a month since you last came home. Iâve been struggling to keep my emotions in check being alone all this time. So, I thought getting a job and changing the environment would help.â
Upon hearing that Nancy was going to work, Justin furrowed his brows. âI admit that Iâve been too busy lately to spend time with you. But Iâll have more time in the coming days. The world outside is complicated, and youâll have a lot to deal with being an assistant to a celebrity.â
She could afford to spend money like water as Justinâs wife, and there was no need for her to experience hardship.
âBesides, donât you want a child? We can start planning for it now.â
Seeing Justin reject her without a second thought, Nancy could only bitterly laugh to herself inwardly. âJust let me be willful this one time.â
Justin walked over, lifted Nancyâs chin, and leaned in for a kiss.
Nancy blushed, and avoided him. âDonât you remember? I just got my period in the car.â
Why does it have to come now of all times?
She could tell that Justin genuinely wanted it.
âWould you promise me, Hubby? When he doesnât have much work or plans, Iâll take some time off and stay at home. Weâll have plenty of time together. As for having children, itâs not something we can just decide on. We need to let nature take its course.
You love and cherish me the donât you?â
most, Justin simply couldnât resist Nancyâs coquettish behavior, ultimately nodding in agreement.
After parting ways with Jeremy, Matthew returned to Starry Sea Mansion.
After stepping through the front door, he saw Aurelia busily unpacking items from the shopping bags into the refrigerator.
