Chapter 495 Painstaking Efforts

"Oh my God... What does Edward mean?" Nancy seldom made a fuss, but now she was really
shocked by Edward.

Where did Edward find a woman who looked so much like her?

Even their figures were so close.

The woman was just a little sexier than Nancy, but it was barely noticeable.

With a sneer, Charles said, "I don't know. This woman really looks like you. If I don't know you too well,
I will think it's you. Edward is comforting himself but making trouble for us."

It seemed like Edward had tried his best to find a woman who looked so much like Nancy. Undoubtedly,
Edward was still deeply in love with her.

This made Charles feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't do anything.

Just because he didn't like it, didn't mean he could stop Edward from seeing this woman.

An awkward smile appeared on Nancy's face. "It's normal to meet some people who look like each
other. Maybe Edward just met this woman by chance. Are you jealous?"

"That woman has nothing to do with you and me. Why should I be jealous? But I am afraid that
Frederic would over think and the media would stir up trouble again. Edward should be aware of this.
How could he bring such a woman to the public? Isn't this making trouble for us?" Charles frowned and
sighed.

"Well... We can just ignore it" Whether that woman looked like her or not, Edward was abroad now. And
even if Edward was here, she had no right to decide whom he should date with. It was Edward's own
business and no one else had the right to interfere.



No matter how close they were as friends, Nancy couldn't either.

Seeing that she had nothing else to say, Charles abruptly said, "Nancy, are you happy to be loved
deeply by someone else?"

"What? I... No, no..." Instinctively, Nancy shook her head. She knew that Edward loved her, and so did
Charles. But since Edward went abroad, they had stopped talking about the past. It was as if Edward
had walked out of their lives, so what was with the fuss now?

It could be seen that Charles was really jealous.

So Nancy took a deep breath and walked towards Charles. "Charles, listen to me. I love you. Here..."
Her eyes never left him as she put Charles' hand on her chest. "No one can stay here except you."

These words were sonorous and moving.

With a knowing smile, Charles touched the tip of Nancy's nose. "Well, I didn't over think. As long as you
are with me, I don't care who Edward loves. We just can't let him disturb our lives."

"Yes, that's right." Beaming at Charles, she let go of his hand.

Then Charles poured some water for Nancy and handed her the medicine. "Here, take the medicine."

While he was gently rubbing Nancy's hair, he added, "Now that you have caught a cold, go to bed
early."

"Well, I'm really tired today." As Nancy spoke, she deliberately leaned on Charles' arms.

It was rare for Nancy to take the initiative, so an idea suddenly came up in Charles' mind. He picked
Nancy up and went straight to the bedroom.

"You have a cold. Is that okay?" Charles put down Nancy on the bed.



"What is okay? Go to sleep! I should sleep more when I have a cold." Pretending to be confused,
Nancy wrapped her arms around Charles' neck.

"Well, I mean sleeping. Tonight, the moon is shining brightly and the atmosphere is so good. If we don't
have a good sleep, won't we waste the great night?" Then he kissed Nancy on her cheek.

"Charles, you're such a bad guy..."

"If men are not bad, women wouldn't love them..." Grinning evilly, his lips pressed against Nancy's lips
for a hot kiss.

"Charles, be gentle. It hurts." From time to time, Nancy was pushing him away.

Her action was so gentle that Charles knew she was just playing hard to get.

His desire exploded in an instant. Not to mention the news he had read about Edward, which made
Charles want to possess Nancy more tonight. He wanted to show that he owned her.

So, Charles hugged Nancy tightly and said, "Nancy! You are hurt but happy at the same time, aren't
you?"

"Ah..." What he said had a double meaning, and Nancy was smart enough to understand it.

That was to say, hooligans were not terrible, but a well-educated hooligan was.

When she was about to say this, her lips were sealed by Charles'.

They made love the whole night.

Exhausted, Nancy slept soundly after.

On the next day, she woke up without Charles beside her.



When reached out and touched the cup beside her. It was still warm, which meant that Charles had just
got up.

As soon as she got off the bed to stretch a bit, she felt dizzy and her nose was stuffy.

She really caught a cold.

"Charles?" Nancy called softly.

Without receiving any reply from Charles, Nancy rubbed her nose and walked out in slippers.

In the living room, she found Charles standing while talking to someone on the phone. He sounded a
bit cold and distant.

Not wanting to disturb him, Nancy stood aside and just looked at him.

Perhaps he felt Nancy's presence; Charles ended the conversation. "We'll talk about it later."

After ending the call, Charles faced Nancy. "You caught a cold. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"My whole body feels heavy, so I can't fall asleep," said Nancy.

"Well, don't forget to take your medicine later. I've already made breakfast." When he was about to put
away his phone, Nancy suddenly grabbed it.

Needless to say, Charles was surprised.

"You..."

"Don't be nervous. I'm just checking which beauty you were talking to just now. Are you saying that you
love me while calling another woman 'honey' on the other line?" Of course, Nancy didn't doubt Charles'



faithfulness. She just wanted to know if it was Frederic who called Charles.

The least thing Charles needed now was the pressure from Frederic...

Or maybe, Frederic saw the photo of Edward and the woman who looked like Nancy and
misunderstood it.

That could also be the reason why Frederic called and questioned Charles.

Nancy was really tired of these misunderstandings, but she didn't want Charles to bear them alone.

Ignoring him, Nancy clicked on the screen and found Frederic's phone number on his recent call logs.

"Grandpa called? What's the matter?" asked Nancy.

With a sigh, Charles answered, "Nothing. He was just urging me to go to the company, but I don't want
to go today..." "Where is Joseph?"

"Humph... I don't know... I heard that Grandpa is really furious." Remembering the scandal Joseph and
Derrick were involved to, Charles snorted in anger but gave a smug smile after.

If he was angry, then Frederic was even angrier.

If Derrick wasn't ill, Frederic would have kicked Derrick many times.

But since Derrick was badly injured, he took him back to the hospital and scolded Derrick severely.

All Derrick could do was to keep silent.

What could Derrick say? He did something wrong and had no reason to refute.

But no one expected that Joseph would be gone missing this morning.



Joseph was a playboy. Generally, nothing would affect his mood, but yesterday... There was no doubt
that Joseph got really pissed off.

The moment he learned that Joseph was missing, Frederic began to feel anxious. "Hurry up and find
Joseph!"

Frederic was afraid that Joseph would commit suicide.
