Sweet Twins

Chapter 37 You Can't Leave Daddy Alone

Charles was a cold man, but he had his own principles and limits. Not like Derrick, who never held himself to any limits when it came to doing things.

"But I hope that Mommy will take care of Daddy," Bobby said in his tiny voice. He then lightly bit his thumb after he spoke.

Nancy coughed uncomfortably at Bobby's words. "Ok, Bobby. Your Daddy drank too much and needs to rest. Be a good boy, I will take you to the canteen for dinner, okay?"

"I will go with you," Charles said. Charles' gloominess quickly faded away when he saw them together.

He decided to let it pass. If Nancy was not comfortable to tell him, he wouldn't ask her again in the future.

"So, you're coming with us? There are a lot of people in the canteen. Is it okay for you to be seen there?" Nancy felt worried that people might gossip about them when they saw Charles at the canteen.

"Why do you think that I am not suitable to be seen there? Bring me a razor and some clean clothes." Charles got up and checked how he looked in the mirror. He was not satisfied with how he looked at all.

"Daddy, you seem to be in a good mood whenever you see Mommy, so am I. Every time I see Mommy, I feel very happy. Daddy, will you marry Mommy?"

Nancy's face immediately turned red when she heard Bobby's words. She froze where she stood right away.

Charles stared at her with thoughtful eyes as he thought deeply about his son's words.

"Bobby... ...Well...um... ...Don't talk nonsense. Let's just go for dinner!" Nancy spoke nervously and almost stuttered. She held Bobby's hand in her soft hand and hurried outside.

"Mommy, we can't leave Daddy," Bobby said as he raised his head to Nancy. He looked pitiful and worried about leaving his father alone.

And Nancy just could not resist Bobby's cute round eyes and helplessly gave in. Nancy brought Charles a shaver, and brought him his cleaned and dried clothes. "Here you are," she said flatly as she handed Charles his things.

And her simple words were more than enough to soften Charles' heart.

He took the items from Nancy and proceeded to shave and clean his face. He then changed his hospital gown into his clean clothes.

The pall of depression had completely melted away, and it was replaced with confidence and rejuvenation.

"Daddy! You're so handsome!" Bobby exclaimed happily as he clapped his hands.

"OK, then. Let's go!" Nancy lowered her head and smiled timidly at them.

And Charles found her simple smile so charming and vibrant.

He was immediately in a daze as he looked at her smile. He broke off his gaze from her and took a deep breath. "Let's go!" he said under his breath.

The three headed for the hospital canteen. They walked hand in hand with each other as the crowd watched them.

They looked like a picture of the perfect family that they drew the attention of many people as they passed by. Charles looked handsome, tall and imposing. Bobby looked cute and smart for his age. Nancy looked naturally beautiful and also tall.

"Look! The news on the internet is true!"

"Doctor Nancy is so lucky!"

"Charles, my dream man is in a relationship with Doctor Nancy?"

"Don't think too much. It wouldn't be fun anymore if Mr. Fu overhears you."

Some of the people that watched them took their pictures and immediately posted them online.

The post quickly reached a million hits in a few minutes. It proved how influential and popular Charles was in the city.

Meanwhile, in the villa of the Ning family.

Fannie had stayed in bed in the past three to four days. She could not get over her experience of being naked and then thrown out on the street. She was then laughed at and was treated as a mental patient.

"This is all because of that bitch, Nancy!" Fannie muttered and was instantly struck with pain. Her lips were parched and looked as if they were about to crack. "Ouch! My lips! I hate you so much, Charles!"

Caspar walked into the room and watched Fannie briefly before he spoke. "You overestimated yourself. How dare you go to see Charles by yourself! Do you think you could seduce him?"

It was a disgrace that his wife was stripped naked and was thrown out on the street.

Fannie explained to him that she only went to Charles' company to invite him to invest in the company of the Ning family. Unfortunately, they failed to reach an agreement on the said investment. And instead of renegotiating, she was thrown on the street by Charles. "It was surely the work of Nancy. She must've said a lot of bad things about the Ning family that caused Charles to treat me like this," she suspected with hatred for Nancy in her heart.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

But Caspar never believed her story. He said nothing and turned his back on Fannie.

"I went to see Charles because of you and for the company! How could you blame me for what happened?" Fannie was not an ugly girl, but now that her mouth was swollen, it made her look a lot different from how she used to look. Caspar didn't even bother to look at her for more than a second. He snorted in anger.

"Look! What is this?" Caspar asked as he threw the phone to Fannie.

Fannie sat up on her bed immediately and checked the phone. "I told you that it was Nancy who framed me. Now, do you believe me?" "Believe what?"

Jill asked as she walked into the room. "What are you two arguing about?"

"Mom, look at this. It's Charles and Nancy. And it looks like they are a family. I will never let her go because she made me suffer so much!" Fannie said as she handed the phone to Jill. She scratched her tangled hair and screamed out in irritation.

Jill was outraged with what she saw on the phone. She had never felt wanting to kill Nancy more than at that moment.

Her eyes suddenly looked fierce. "We should take revenge on her. We can't just let that bitch live a happy life!"

"What do you suggest we should do, Mom?" Fannie asked anxiously and impatiently.

"Listen carefully to what I will tell you," Jill said in a soft voice to Fannie.

Meanwhile, back at the hospital, it was his first time for Charles to eat at the canteen and in front of so many people in all directions.

Bobby and Charles both sat at the table obediently like behaved little boys. They waited patiently while Nancy was busy buying food for them from different windows.

"Everyone is watching us, Daddy," Bobby whispered to Charles.

"Yes." Charles was a common focus of many people, but people often saw him from the TV and newspapers only. Now, people stared at him like he was a kind of rare mythical beast, previously thought of as unreal. All the attention had made him feel uncomfortable and uneasy all over.

It was fortunate that he naturally looked arrogant and powerful, so, no one dared to approach him.

"Here you are!" Nancy said as she handed him the chicken plus rice.

Charles took the bowl from her without thanking her. He then lowered his head and began to eat slowly.

"Bobby, let's eat the noodles!" Nancy took a smaller bowl and filled it with noodles and wonton for Bobby. She then placed a small spoon in the bowl and handed the bowl to Bobby. "Be careful, Bobby. It's still hot. Don't get burned."

"Thank you, Mom..." Bobby stopped himself immediately before he could finish. He nervously covered his lips with his hand and turned to Nancy. "I'm sorry, Mommy. I forgot that there are many outsiders here."

"Mommy, I called you mommy again! But Mommy... ...if I don't call you Mommy..."

But Bobby was in such a hurry to explain that the wonton in his mouth got stuck in his throat. It wouldn't move and it made him gag and cough.
