DreameNovelChapter 23 Nancy's heart was pounding like a drum solo at a rock concert, and when she turned around, there was Cyrus, striding into the room like a storm about to break.

I thought you'd forgotten this place was your home, too." Cyrus seemed to ignore the sharpness of Nancy's tone, his anger flaring up like a bonfire. "And do you still remember this is your home? That you, Nancy, are still my wife?" When facing Cyrus' aggressive stance, Nancy couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "Really? You could've fooled me. It seems you're the one who's forgotten." Oh, the irony. Cyrus had found a new flame, yet he acted like the victim.
Cyrus' face turned an even uglier shade of red, "Nancy, how did you cback here? Do I need to remind you?" Genuinely angry, Nancy retorted, "What's that supposed to mean, Cyrus? Make yourself clear!" It was as if he was accusing her of being unfaithful.
Cyrus' face hardened, his voice turning ice cold, "Seriously? Do you wantto spell it out? Caleb never called you to cover. So why were you at the police station, even bumping into Baldrick?" With that, Cyrus grabbed Nancy's wrist, pulling her close to him.
Confronted with Cyrus's icy stare, Nancy let out a frustrated laugh. "So, you think I was having a secret meeting with Baldrick at the police station?" It was absurd. Nancy never had feelings for Baldrick despite his confessions in their school days.

Nancy looked at Cyrus, his handsfeatures twisted by anger, and felt amusement and exhaustion. "Cyrus, do you think I've been cold to you because of Baldrick?" Cyrus wanted to say yes, but seeing Nancy's look of resignation, he felt an unexpected pang of guilt. Before he could respond, Nancy's phone rang. Quick as a cat, Cyrus snatched it and answered, "Who is this?" Nancy panicked, hoping it wasn't Alexis calling about the cancellation of her identity.
Before Nancy could calm down, a familiar voice cthrough the phone.
"Boss, why are you shutting down the studio?" It was Molly, Nancy's assistant at her studio, on the line.
