Sweet Twins

Chapter 544 A Beautiful Past

Disappointed with herself, Nancy walked around outside the classroom alone. After class, Edward approached her with a smile. "I asked you to come close and sit by my side. Why didn't you move?"

It was the second time that she met Edward, and later on, Edward always helped her take a seat in this professor's class.

The two grew closer to each other as the days went by. They became inseparable.

It was a beautiful past, wasn't it?

As the thought of this, tears welled up in Nancy's eyes. She lowered her head and thought that after this night, she might not see Edward, Charles and her children again...

"You are such a good girl, Nancy!" The man's voice was full of pity.

"Do you know me too?" Wiping her tears away, Nancy continued, "All the men here can call out my name, but no one can help me leave this place. Men are wicked!"

Yes, if someone was willing to help her, he only needed to tell Charles or call the police after he left here. Then Nancy would be saved.

But since every man who came here was afraid that his scandal would be exposed, they all pretended that nothing had happened. They turned a blind eye to every woman's misery.

Or perhaps it had become a place for men to have fun, and they all thought that no woman had the right to ask them a favor, let alone leave this place.

That was the reason why Nancy didn't have faith in this man in front of her. She couldn't hope that this man would help her because her heart couldn't take another disappointment.

"Nancy, you lost weight." The man suddenly took her hand and gently stroked it.

Instinctively, Nancy withdrew her hand, but the man held it tighter. He slowly opened her palm and wrote "Edward" on it using his forefinger.

Startled, Nancy looked up at the man's face.

She had never seen such a face, but she was not unfamiliar with it. What happened?

"You are..." At this moment, she wanted to call out Edward's name, but she didn't. There was a camera in this room, and their every move was monitored by this club's facilitators.

"I'm your owner today. Take good care of me, Nancy. I have a lot of money." Then he took out stack of money and shook it in front of Nancy.

At this moment, Nancy didn't know what to do. If it was Edward, then he was wearing a mask.

If it wasn't Edward... Either way, she didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that she would meet another weird man again.

Everything could happen here.

She'd better be careful!

Seeing Nancy's troubled face, the man threw the money on the tea table and sat on the sofa. "Come on, have a drink with me."

Step by step, Nancy walked over and sat down beside him.

"Add some ice to the whiskey. I like it that way." The way he said those words was like giving Nancy a clue.

To say Nancy was shocked was an understatement. As far as she could remember, Edward liked adding ice cubes to his whiskey. When he was abroad, ice cubes were always stored in Edward's fridge.

Was this man suggesting something to her?

There was a flash of excitement in Nancy's heart, but she didn't dare to say anything. If this was Edward, then she shouldn't do something to ruin her chance to escape. "Okay, sir."

With a flushed face, Nancy skilfully added ice to his whiskey and politely gave it to him. "Please enjoy it."

The man took it and raised it in front of her. "Thanks. Would you like some?"

"I... I'm not good at drinking, so I'd better drink some champagne." The man had revealed his true identity. He was Edward. No matter how excited Nancy was, she didn't dare to show it. She could only follow Edward's orders.

So, she poured herself a glass of champagne and gently touched it with Edward's. There was a ghost of smile on her lips when she took a sip on her glass.

"You look very cautious. Did you just come here?" As he spoke, Edward lit a cigarette and took a drag.

However, he choked and coughed right away. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

It was because he didn't really smoke. He was just pretending to be a bad guy. If the situation wasn't serious, Nancy could've burst into laughter.

Instead, Nancy shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Yes, I've only been here for three or four days. I don't know the rules here, so... They dislike me."

A bitter smile appeared on her face, so Edward couldn't help but frown. 'Where is Charles? Nancy had been missing for so long, but he hadn't found her yet?'

At this moment, Nancy also wanted to ask how Edward found this place.

Or why didn't Charles come? Did Charles really forget her just like what the other people said?

But still, Nancy was thankful that Edward came at the right place, at the right time. If he wasn't the guess Nancy was with tonight, she would have died.

When he found out that Nancy was missing, Edward was beyond anxious. Therefore, as soon as was done with everything he needed to do abroad, he took a plane back to the country.

The first thing he did when he arrived was to look for Nancy. He didn't bother to contact Charles because he was a little disappointed in him.

This was also one of the rare days when Edward went back to his family's house.

As they always did, his family gave him a warm welcome, but he was like an iceberg. He only ignored them and dragged his suitcase into his room.

His father followed him and closed the door gently. "You rarely come home. Why didn't you say something to your mom, brother and the others as soon as you come back?"

Edward's father could do nothing to his rebellious son. His son championed freedom, so his family gave to him and allowed to grow by himself.

Besides, Edward's father had thought that after Edward had enough fun, he would come back home obediently and marry a woman from a rich family to live a peaceful life.

But Edward didn't think so at all. He just wanted to live a happy life alone. Coming home never occurred to his mind.

Therefore, everyone was accustomed to Edward's freedom. When the gossip about Edward and Nancy spread, the whole family was very calm.

As if Edward's life had nothing to do with them anymore.

With a sigh, Edward lay on the bed and said, "Dad, I didn't come here to see them. I have something to ask you; it's about Nancy..."

His father's mood quickly shifted. "Why is that woman again? Isn't she with Charles? Charles is there. Why are you so worried?"

Sure enough, Charles was there. But Charles didn't even know where Nancy was. How could he be at ease? "She is my friend. I treat her as my sister. Please help me this time, no matter what happens."

"I don't know her. I can't help her." Remembering the gossip in which Edward had been involved before, his father didn't want to help at all.

"If you don't help me, I swear you'll never see me again." Seeing that his father's unwillingness to help, Edward no other choice but to use his father's weakness. What his father feared the most was that he would not come back.

The truth was, Edward was not really a cold-blooded man. He just wanted to run his own business and have his own family.

As for his parents, with his brother and sister-in-law, they might not have a better family relationship even if he came back.

Edward's brother and sister-in-law had a lot of doubts about him. Of course, this would happen in most wealthy families, and Wu family was no exception.

With a sigh, his father scolded, "You bastard, how dare you threaten me? Alas, I don't have any information about Nancy now. Even if I want to help you, I have no idea."

After a short pause, Edward said, "I believe Nancy is still alive. She was taken away by the gangsters. You can use your connection to look for her. I don't believe that Nancy will disappear without a reason."
