"Yes," Charles replied simply to Jay. He didn't know if he loved Nancy, but he had never felt anything
close to this before.
All he wanted was to be with her all the time.
The last few times he had been with her, he had had the inexplicable urge to call her "baby," but he had
been too nervous to utter those words.
It was only through WeChat that he actually dared to flirt with her or say sweet words to her.
Now, back in his house, Charles was staring at his phone with a smile on his face.
'Nancy will come, right?' he thought to himself.
He was so eager to see her that he wanted to go and pick her up,
but he couldn't leave right now.
Last night, when he had reached home after dropping Nancy off at her place, he had noticed that the
light in the living room was still on, which was odd because everyone should have gone to bed by then.
He had quickened his pace in apprehension and found Angelina lying on the sofa with her forehead
wrapped in gauze, on which there was a faint tinge of blood.
Bobby was sitting next to her, holding his chin in his hands and looking dejected. A broken phone was
placed on the table.
When Bobby saw that Charles was back, he hurriedly explained, "Daddy, it's not my fault. Grandma fell
down while chasing me... And the phone fell by itself too."
"Oh, good to see you finally home, Charles. I can't handle your naughty son!" Angelina said with a sigh.
All she had wanted to do was to snatch the phone away from Bobby so that he would stop talking to
that woman. However, she hadn't expected the little boy to run away from her. Moreover, he was so
smart that he ran around the table in circles.
When she chased round and round, she became so dizzy that she lost her balance and fell to the
ground.
Of course, Bobby panicked as soon as he saw Angelina falling. Without thinking, he threw the phone
aside and ran up to her.
The sight of blood on her forehead filled him with fear. At once, he shouted for the doctor and helped
his grandmother sit on the sofa with the doctor.
The doctor examined the wound and found that it was a bit deep, so he sewed it up and bandaged it.
After that, Angelina just needed to rest for a while.
While lying on the sofa, she said, "Oh, Bobby, look at the trouble you've made. You have to be a good
boy, you know?" She then took this chance to teach her grandson a lesson.
While she was talking, Bobby fiddled with his little fingers.
"Who your daddy marries is up to me, not you. Do you understand?" she asked.
Bobby pursed his lips and remained silent.
Being a smart boy, he knew that he shouldn't argue with his grandma when she was injured. What he
needed to do now was to pretend to be obedient.
Therefore, he quietly waited for his daddy to come back.
As soon as Charles walked into the living room, he immediately came up with an explanation that
would absolve him of all blame.
After all, he didn't want to be scolded by his dad.
Fortunately for him, Charles took his side at once. "You don't have to worry about him so much in the
future. He is not a little boy anymore."
Upon hearing this, Angelina was so angry that she covered her forehead to calm herself down. "How
mature can a five-year-old child be? How can you even call yourself a father if you just let him do
whatever he wants? And you will even kiss whoever he asks you to, right? You won't listen to me no
matter what I say, will you?"
After her dramatic speech, Angelina stole a glimpse at Charles, but he didn't seem to care at all, so she
turned it up a notch and whined, "Why do I have to live such a hard life? I've sacrificed so much for the
family, for you to become the president of the TS Group, for your father, and even for Bobby. But none
of you will listen to me! What's the point of living?"
Bobby bit his little finger and looked at her in confusion. Although he could understand what she was
saying, he knew that things would be easier for him if he pretended not to.
Charles sighed and thought, 'Is this how women act when they're going through menopause? Always
nagging about everything...
No wonder Dad prefers spending time abroad instead of staying at home with her. How could he stand
this?
It's annoying to listen to a woman nagging day in and day out.'
Not in the mood to entertain her, he completely ignored her words and said, "Mom, I have to give
Bobby a bath before I tuck him into bed. You can go back to your room to have some rest, too." Then,
he took Bobby's hand.
"I feel so weak and dizzy. How can I fall asleep?" Angelina said miserably.
"Should I call the doctor?"
"He can't do anything."
"What do you want then?" Charles asked politely.
"My dear son, I just want you to chat with me for a while." Perhaps all mothers had the same worry:
that their son would be stolen away by another woman when he grew up. Even Angelina, who was the
lady of a rich family, was bothered by this worry. And now, she was even more displeased after finding
out that her son was dating a woman that she didn't like at all!
"Okay. Let me just give Bobby a bath and tuck him into bed. Then I'll come back and chat with you."
Then, Charles took Bobby to the bathroom.
After that, Charles gave his mother company the whole night,
hoping that it would be enough to pacify her.
The next day, while the servants were preparing breakfast, Charles asked his mother to join him, but
she claimed to be still dizzy.
To his surprise, he was forbidden to go to work after breakfast. Moreover, he could go nowhere but to
the bathroom.
The whole day, Charles felt very morose, but there was nothing he could do.
He was hesitating about whether to contact Nancy when he received a message from her on WeChat.
So, to make her come to the Fu family's house, Charles decided to send her such a flirty message.
In the end, Nancy agreed, not because of his message but because she had something to ask him.
She put on a casual top, a denim skirt, and white flats. Then, she wore her hair in a ponytail. After
making sure that she looked okay, she drove the white car she had rented to the Fu family's house.
Unsurprisingly, when such a car appeared at the Fu family's house, the maids looked at it with disgust.
However, since Nancy had already mentally prepared herself for this result, it didn't matter to her.
"Who is it?" Angelina asked listlessly when she heard the sound of a car pulling up into the driveway.
"It's Nancy," Charles said casually.
After a whole day of lazing around, Angelina suddenly jerked up. "You're just trying to piss me off,
aren't you? I just told you that I don't like her last night, so why do you insist on having her here?" she
asked angrily.
"I love her," Charles replied without any hesitation. He wanted to come clean about his feelings.
"What? You're really pissing me off!" Angelina shouted, her hands trembling in anger.
"If you don't let me marry her, then I won't marry anyone in this life," Charles said calmly.
These words really hurt Angelina. What she wanted to see the most was Charles getting married,
especially to a girl she liked.
"Charles, you... Humph. You're just trying to piss me off. Ouch, it hurts!" Angelina screamed and
groaned, covering her forehead with her hand.
At that moment, Nancy walked in. "Nice to meet you, ma'am," she greeted respectfully, though she was
surprised to see Angelina lying on the sofa with a gauze wrapped around her forehead.
"No. It's not nice at all," Angelina said angrily, casting a disdainful glance at Nancy.
