Substitute Bride and Her Husband Who Disappeared

Charlie's third uncle, Mark Firth, immediately spoke up, "Nan, since you are Charlie's wife, we are family now. Just let us know if you need anything. We will do our best to help you!" With the support of James and Mark, the rest of the family members naturally wouldn't give Nancy a hard time. The women even pulled Nancy away from Charlie and surrounded her. "Hey! Charlie is really lucky. Nan is much prettier than Vivian..."

It was James' wife who spoke. Charlie's eldest aunt, Freya Firth, glared at her angrily, "No one is allowed to mention Vivian in this house anymore!"

James' wife realized she had said something wrong and quickly nodded with a smile, "Sorry, I just made a casual comment. I won't say it anymore."

Nancy didn't actually mind them mentioning Vivian. What she really cared about was that families like the Firth Family placed a lot of importance on the background of their daughters-in-law.

They must have already known her situation when they came here today. With Vivian's background, she could barely enter the Firth Family, but they didn't show any distaste towards Nancy. Nancy could even sense their fondness for her from their expressions and words. This made her pleasantly surprised.

Their warmth cured Nancy of her social anxiety.

"Nan, I heard you're close to obtaining your doctorate?"

Nancy nodded earnestly, "Yes, I just need to defend my thesis. I will get my doctorate certificate soon."

"Oh, that's amazing! Girls should be independent and self-reliant. Although we can afford to be idle in the Firth Family, since the men work so hard, we women can't fall behind.

I like you. This is a gift for you." Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Freya then put a very thin red envelope into Nancy's hands.

The envelope was indeed thin, but Nancy thanked her sincerely for her kindness. The other women immediately handed their red envelopes as well.

They were all thin, not like the thick ones Nancy had seen in the TV dramas. However, she was

particularly happy because it wan et

the first time she had felt the

happiness brought by a large family.

Charlie's younger aunt, Brenda Firth, glanced at them and took out what she had prepared.

"Nan, I'm not like them. I'm giving you a set of jewelry. You will definitely participate in large-scale events in the future, and without a good set of jewelry, you'll be laughed at. Take this."

When she opened the jewelry box and revealed the set of jewelry inside, the other women were shocked, "Oh my, Brenda, you took out your dowry? This is what Mom gave you!" Nancy didn't dare to accept it. Brenda gave them a cold look, grabbed Nancy's hand, and forcefully placed the jewelry box in her hands.

The jewelry box was not small, and Nancy held it with both hands.

Brenda gently looked at Nancy,

smiled kindly and said, "I was raised

by my eldest brother. He passed

away early, and Charlie lost his father at a young age. I feel sorry for him, so I can only be nice to you. I hope you can treat Charlie better because of my kindness to you."
