"Going out is indeed dangerous. If it weren't for those kidnappers mistaking Vivian Lesser for you, who knows what might have happened."

Charlie reflected with a shudder. However, he couldn’t keep Nancy confined to the hotel forever while in Taurus.

With this thought, he chuckled softly, "Tomorrow, you'll stay close to me, and we’ll be fine. Let’s visit HenrianaTown here. It’s quite interesting."

"The H Town?"

Nancy's eyes lit up with excitement, her nose playfully nuzzling against Charlie's chin. "Oh yes, I've heard Taurus's H Town is the best H Town in the world, with lots of unique things that even our homeland might not have."

"You liking it is what matters."

Charlie responded, hugging Nancy tightly and inhaling her unique scent. His lips pressed affectionately against the top of her head.

"Nan, let’s get married when we return."

"Huh?"

Nancy blinked in surprise. "Aren't we already married?"

"Not really."

Charlie closed his eyes, recalling their past. Holding Nancy in his sleep was a test of restraint. "Like you said, that wedding had Vivian Mirren’s name, not yours. So, it doesn’t count. Once you truly marry me, I will..."

He stopped, his breathing growing erratic.

Nancy, waiting for him to continue, pouted playfully and brushed her lips against his chin. "What about it? Why did you stop?"

"Nan…"

Charlie sighed helplessly. "Do you know how painful it is to hold the woman you love and not be able to do anything? Stop that, if you keep going, I won’t be able to restrain myself..."

"Aha!"

Nancy finally understood his implication. She knew Charlie well, just as he knew her.

He was a conservative man - if he loved, it was for a lifetime.

Perhaps due to Eva Luther's influence, he didn't give his affection easily, but once given, it was everything. Even now, as much as he desired her, he needed to complete all the formalities before rightfully and peacefully having her.

"Heh..."

Nancy chuckled softly, becoming even more daring. Her soft lips teasingly moved from his chin upwards. "Are you saying like this?"

Charlie shivered, his breathing disordered. He warned in a near growl, "Nan!"

Nancy's amber eyes sparkled mischievously, "What? Are you saying it's like this? How would I know if you don’t tell me?"

Charlie felt every cell in his body tense up, his cool lips now pressed into a straight line due to the unbearable urge.

And there was Nancy, unaware, laughing and teasing him.

"Nancy!"

Charlie bit his teeth hard. "You're pushing me to this!"
