Chapter: 427
“Come on. Let's get some food first, and then we can go check out the local
attractions,” Millie said with a chuckle.
Nancy stormed into her room, ripped up a piece of paper, and scratched her
head in frustration.
Millie, an unknown designer, had just beaten her in a competition.
Laurel stared at her with wide eyes. She was also upset by Millie's victory, but
she was more alarmed because it was the first time that she had seen Nancy so
enraged.
“Calm down, Nancy. You'll win against her next time. She just got lucky this time,
Laurel said.
Nancy gave her a forced smile. “Laurel, can you give me some space for a
while?”
Millie completely destroyed her confidence. She needed to vent her anger, or she
would lose her mind.
Humphrey gestured for Laurel to go out and assured her that he would handle
Nancy.
“Please take care of her, Humphrey,” Laurel muttered.
Once his sister was out of the room, Humphrey wrapped his arms around Nancy.
“Don’t worry, Nancy. You'll beat her next time,” Humphrey said in a soft voice.
Nancy buried her face in his chest and started to cry, melting in his embrace.
“I can’t believe I lost to her!” Nancy cried. Humphrey gently rubbed her back,
closed his eyes, and inhaled deeply, taking in her scent.
“I think you're tired. Do you want to study abroad for a while? I'll go with you if
you want,” Humphrey suggested.
Something about Nancy seemed off to him recently. She was tense and distant,
and it made him uneasy.
Nancy jerked away from his grasp and scowled at him.
She snarled, “Are you saying that I'm not as talented as Millie? Is that why you're
asking me to study more?”
Humphrey was taken aback by her reaction.
