Justin made his way over.
Nancy glanced over his shoulder. “Are you the first to leave?”
“Yes, I left first. Let’s go. Get in the car.” 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 didn’t want to return to her side.
Nancy had no idea what was going through Justin’s 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?
“I’ve indeed been incredibly busy lately. Are you upset?” Suddenly, Justin grasped Nancy’s hand.
Her hands were soft and small, easily fitting entirely within his grasp.
He should have set his heart straight.
He shouldn’t break her heart because of other women.
Nancy shook her head. “I’m not upset. I know you’re busy every day, all for the sake of our home. So, I’m not mad at you.”
“Why did you run off as soon as you saw me just now? We’re a married couple. If there’s anything you’re uncertain about, come to me instead of making wild guesses. Understand?” 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.

But…
“I thought you had something important to discuss with your friends. I was sure my presence would make you all feel restrained.” Nancy came up with an excuse.
Justin gripped Nancy’s hand tightly. “Remember what I told you. No matter what happens or what anyone says to you, just don’t believe them.”
“Why would you suddenly say that?” Nancy was stunned.
Has anyone say something to me that they shouldn’t 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, “It’s nothing. I just happened to think of it and said it. I’m often away on business and don’t have much time to spend with you. It’s inevitable that you might overthink things.”
Nancy felt that Justin truly understood her. “To be honest, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking recently about everything I should and shouldn’t. Once I calm down, I remind myself that you’re already so busy and it’s tough on you. Therefore, I mustn’t overthink.”
Observing the sincere and wholehearted trust that Nancy had in him, Justin’s could feel his heart tightened.
What on earth have I been doing all this time!
This is absurd!
He couldn’t bear to lose Nancy. If she found out about his reckless behavior during this period, she wouldn’t 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.
“You’ll tender your resignation tomorrow, and I’ll give you a sum of money. From this day forward, I don’t want to see you again, let alone entertain any of your delusions. It’s best if our past remains buried.”
The words that slipped from his lips–each 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.
“Mr. Hoffman, did I do something wrong? Is that why you want me to leave?”
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 wouldn’t have feelings for Nancy, who in her eyes,

He would soon give her a title.

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. “I don’t want Nancy to know about your existence. Remember my words.”
After uttering the final sentence, he didn’t 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.
“He didn’t want Nancy to know about my existence?”
“Justin, aren’t you being too heartless?”
“During this period, we’ve spent almost every day together, from dawn till dusk. Yet, do
you still not hold me in your heart? I’ve given so much, and I’ve loved you for a very long time. No one knows the amount of effort and hardship I’ve 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. I’ve truly given so much just to be seen by you. I won’t leave. I can’t possibly leave!”
“If Nancy were superior to me, I would have accepted it. But she can’t match up to me in every aspect!”
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 Gwendolyn’s 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, “Are you done with your work?”

so quickly?
Justin hummed in affirmation, “It’s been taken care of.”
Finished
“I forgot to mention something to you on my way back earlier,” Nancy began, “I’ve found a job. I’ll be starting tomorrow as an assistant to the famous actor, Ambrose Stark. You know that you’ve been so busy lately, and it’s been almost a month since you last came home. I’ve 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.”
Upon hearing that Nancy was going to work, Justin furrowed his brows. “I admit that I’ve been too busy lately to spend time with you. But I’ll have more time in the coming days. The world outside is complicated, and you’ll have a lot to deal with being an assistant to a celebrity.”
She could afford to spend money like water as Justin’s wife, and there was no need for her to experience hardship.
“Besides, don’t you want a child? We can start planning for it now.”
Seeing Justin reject her without a second thought, Nancy could only bitterly laugh to herself inwardly. “Just let me be willful this one time.”
Justin walked over, lifted Nancy’s chin, and leaned in for a kiss.
Nancy blushed, and avoided him. “Don’t you remember? I just got my period in the car.”
Why does it have to come now of all times?
She could tell that Justin genuinely wanted it.
“Would you promise me, Hubby? When he doesn’t have much work or plans, I’ll take some time off and stay at home. We’ll have plenty of time together. As for having children, it’s not something we can just decide on. We need to let nature take its course. You love and cherish me the don’t you?”
most,
Justin simply couldn’t resist Nancy’s 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.
