Charles' movements didn't stop. Instead, he rushed around even faster as he tried to find the right
dress for her.
"This dress is too colorful. It doesn't look good."
"This one is too big. Nancy, you missed me so much that you lost some weight, huh?"
"This one is fine. Wear this one."
Nancy felt like a puppet being tossed around by Charles. By the time he finally decided on a dress for
her, she was already out of breath.
Taking the dress from his hands, she glared at him with hatred. If looks could kill, he would be dead by
now!
But Charles just smirked and said, "Don't look at me like that. There's no time. I don't think you want to
disappoint Bobby, do you? He's waiting for you." The fact that he had said "for you" and not "for us" had
a significant impact on Nancy,
rousing her maternal instinct.
Finally,
she nodded for Bobby's sake.
She agreed to be Bobby's mother for a day.
However, she had no idea that she would meet the little girl haunting her dreams at the kindergarten.
When Charles and Nancy arrived at the kindergarten, they found a line of fancy cars parked at the
gate. It seemed that a lot of parents had come to attend the activity.
After parking the car, Charles led Nancy inside.
Nancy tried to put some distance between them, but, as if reading her mind, Charles abruptly held her
hand. She shivered at the unfamiliar touch and immediately looked up at him, but his face was calm as
usual.
He looked as if he was really just holding his wife's hand.
As the warmth from his hand spread to the rest of her body, Nancy bit her lips and held her breath.
At that moment, his fingers started to rub against her palm.
He was flirting with her!
However, Nancy could not pull away or say anything with so many people watching them.
Soon, she heard a buzz of conversation rise from the crowd.
"So, the rumors are true. She is Charles' girlfriend?"
"Didn't they say that she is the mother of his child?"
"Wait, they are not married?"
"I guess so. The wedding of the CEO of TS Group would have been a hot topic that everyone in the
city talked about! Why don't I remember hearing anything like that?" "Well, these online articles aren't
very reliable. I can't even find it now.
Perhaps Charles is just playing with her these days."
Nancy's face turned a deep shade of red as she heard these words about her.
At that moment, Bobby was standing at the gate of the kindergarten and looking around. When he saw
Nancy and Charles walking to the school hand in hand, he smiled happily.
"Daddy, Mommy!" he shouted,
attracting everyone's attention.
Nancy felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself in it.
She was sure that the rest of her life was going to be ruined by these two.
When Charles glanced at her to see her reaction,
she blushed and lowered her head shyly.
"I think it's good!" Charles said proudly.
Nancy remained silent, but she clenched his hand to express her protest.
In return, Charles pinched her little finger,
making her feel uncomfortable.
Finally, she admitted defeat and loosened her grip on Charles' hand.
Fortunately, Bobby rushed between them and separated their hands just in time.
Then, standing in between them and holding both of their hands, he announced,
"This is my Daddy and Mommy!
We are a family.
Don't you all admire me?"
He was acting as if he was the only kid in the world who had a mommy and daddy.
Most of the onlookers found him adorable, while the rest were in fear of Charles' power.
So they all said, "Of course! Bobby is so happy."
Then, they all turned back to Nancy, who shifted uncomfortably under their gazes.
The look in their eyes made her feel as if she had been stripped off in public. "Cheer up,
Nancy," Charles suddenly whispered in her ear as he leaned close.
To everyone watching, this looked like honeyed talk between a couple.
Of course, Charles had done it on purpose to put on a show.
However, Bobby looked at Nancy with a bewildered look on his face. He knew that there was
something wrong with her since she usually laughed a lot, but hadn't laughed at all today.
He raised his head and asked with concern, "Mommy, are you upset about something? Did Jessie bully
you again? If she did, you should tell me! I'll take revenge on her for you."
Nancy forced a smile at him. "Don't worry. I'm fine. No one dares to bully me with you around."
Just then, a little girl accidentally ran right into Nancy's knees and fell back onto the ground with a
thump.
Feeling worried, Nancy loosened her grip on Bobby's hand and turned to the girl. "I'm so sorry, I made
you fall down!"
The little girl had her hair in pigtails, but they were loose and the bowknots around them were almost
falling.
She raised her head and stared at Nancy with watery eyes. "I'm fine, auntie," she said, shaking her
head.
"Mommy, this is Nadia. She is an ugly duckling who can't cry! She doesn't know how to feel pain,"
Bobby haughtily told Nancy. Then, he turned to the little girl with jealousy written all over his face.
"Nadia, hurry up. I'm going to take part in some activities with my Daddy and Mommy."
Instead of responding to him, Nadia turned to Nancy and Charles with pleading eyes. "Auntie, may I
join the activity with you?"
"No way!" Bobby cried immediately.
Mommy and Daddy both belonged to him and only him.
"Bobby, a boy should be gentle when talking to a girl, okay?" Nancy said in a reprimanding tone. Then,
she pulled Nadia into her arms and asked, "Aren't your parents here?"
Nadia shook her head.
Nancy turned to Charles, hinting for him to fix the situation.
"Bobby, a boy should be a gentleman in front of a girl. You should be more generous..." Charles said
half-heartedly. The truth was, he had no intention of letting Nadia join them. After all, he seldom had the
chance to take part in any activities with Bobby, let alone with Nancy as well.
Bobby stared back at Charles in confusion. Daddy was never a gentleman in front of Mommy, was he?
"Bobby, there are so many people watching us. Don't embarrass Daddy," Charles added in a low voice.
"Be a good boy, Bobby. Take Nadia's hand. If she's here, you can have one more companion. Let's join
the activities together. It will be great!" Nancy chimed in, putting Nadia's hand on Bobby's.
"All right," Bobby agreed reluctantly, finally accepting her words.
In this way, Nancy and Charles held both the children's hands as they walked toward the venue.
"Mr. Fu, here are the activities that Bobby chose. You can start from the beginning." The head of the
kindergarten, Director Zhao, came over and handed a list to Charles respectfully.
"Well, thank you, Director Zhao," Charles said, taking the list from her.
Director Zhao looked at Nadia and then at Nancy. She said jokingly, "So Nadia is with you now. At first
glance, I thought you were all a family. She looks so much like Bobby!"
