Staring at the tall and strong figure of Charles, Nancy thought it could've been a good thing if Charles
was with her when she gave birth to Bobby and Nadia.
This thought made her feel a little disappointed.
Shaking her head to discard this thought, Nancy walked into the bathroom.
After he packed Erin's coat, Charles heated up the food for Nancy.
Charles could hear the disappointment in Nancy's voice, and he knew why Nancy was upset.
A few years ago, they had met once.
All he wanted was the baby in Nancy's belly. As for Nancy, he had never thought of her at that time.
It must have been hard for Nancy to be pregnant for nine months.
When he was done heating up the food up for Nancy, Charles took out a hair dryer and waited for her
to come out.
After a while, Nancy came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.
Her eyes were slightly red and she looked like she had been crying.
At the sight of her, Charles' heart shrank. He raised the hair dryer he was holding and said, "Come on,
let me help you dry your hair."
Without saying anything, Nancy walked over obediently and sat down in front of Charles.
Charles blow-dried her hair expertly. "Nancy, Grandpa has allowed us to get married. I'll schedule our
wedding soon, okay?"
However, Nancy was not in a hurry to answer. She kept silent for a while. It was not until Charles was
done drying her hair that Nancy spoke. "Let's talk about it later."
For a moment, Charles was stunned. Nancy's voice was a little low, but he was able to hear it. What
did Nancy mean?
"Nancy, don't you want to marry me?" asked Charles.
"It's not what you think." Nancy stood up and walked towards the dining table.
After putting the hair dryer away, Charles turned around and sat opposite to Nancy.
"Tell me, why?"
But instead of answering him, Nancy picked up a piece of fried tofu and put it in her mouth. She
couldn't help but smile while chewing the tofu. "The tofu tastes good. I think your cooking skill is getting
a lot better. Continue to work hard."
Angry that she dodged the question, Charles pulled the plate away from her. "You didn't answer my
question. You can't eat."
If Nancy didn't agree, it would be impossible for Charles to hold the wedding.
After all, she was his bride! How could he get married if Nancy opposed?
"You have a bad temper." Gritting her teeth, Nancy continued, "I don't care. I'll just eat the fish then."
The she reached out her chopsticks to pick up the fish, but Charles also took the plate with the fish
away.
"Charles! What's the meaning of this? Did you just fake your gentleness just now? You've cooked these
for me, yet you don't want me to eat them?" In a fit of pique, Nancy leaned against the back of the
dining chair.
"Answer my question first. Damn it!" The last thing that Charles cared about now was food.
With a sigh, Nancy stood up and walked behind Charles. She put her arms around Charles' neck and
rested her chin on his shoulder. "It's obvious that Frederic wanted you to go back to the TS Group
today, but you didn't refuse, did you? The TS Group is in a state of panic right now. Besides, Joseph
hasn't taken care of it well these past few days. You just came back. You should comfort and
encourage your people. There are so many things that you have to deal with, so you will be very busy
for the time being. I think it's not appropriate for us to get married now."
It could be seen that Charles was shocked to hear what Nancy had said. He thought, Nancy rejected
him because she felt sad, but he didn't expect that Nancy did it for his own sake. It turned out that he
just had misunderstood her.
It was true that the company had been in a mess for a few days. That was the reason why a lot of
things were waiting for him to deal with.
With tenderness in his eyes, Charles picked up Nancy's hand and kissed her affectionately. "Thank
you, Nancy."
"As you have said, we are an old couple. There is no need to be formal with me." Her soft voice melted
Charles' heart in an instant.
"Let's eat, Nancy." Suddenly, Charles grabbed Nancy's arm and pulled her into his arms, which
surprised Nancy.
Sitting on Charles' lap, Nancy said, "You are weird, Charles. Just a while ago, you were aggressive and
cold, and now you are so..."
"Gentle?" With a smile, Charles picked up a piece of chicken wing and put it in Nancy's mouth. "Try one
of your favorite chicken wings."
"They say that a woman's expression changes so quickly, but I don't think so. I think your expression
changes faster," Nancy murmured as she chewed.
Hearing this, Charles couldn't help but grin. "Am I moody?"
"Yes, you are right. You are moody." As she spoke, Nancy continued to eat.
"Silly girl, that's because I'm afraid you will run away with someone else... How I wish I could marry you
right now and tie you by my side for the rest of my life!" As soon as he finished his words, Charles let
out a heavy sigh.
It was true. His marriage with Nancy had undergone ups and downs. Although the two had been
together for a long time, every time they planned out the wedding, something would happen to stop it.
So Charles was afraid that Nancy would reject him.
"Silly... Silly you." Tears began to form in the corners of her eyes when she sniffed.
"Well, I'd love to be a happy silly man as long as I am with you," Charles said sentimentally.
Rolling her eyes, Nancy complained, "Sentimental."
Both of them laughed at each other, but Nancy suddenly sneezed.
"Don't worry. I'll find you some antipyretics." He put Nancy on the dining chair and turned to look for the
medicine box.
Nancy liked Cola Chicken Wings best when it was cooked by Charles. She wolfed down the chicken
wings happily while waiting for Charles.
After eating, she sat at the table and drank water.
Upon realizing that Charles was taking a while looking for the medicine kit, she shouted, "Charles, are
you asleep?"
"No." Her brows furrowed when Charles answered sulkily.
"My cold is not that serious. I'll just drink a little more water. I don't need to take medicine." Since
Charles was taking too long, Nancy decided to just clean the table.
After a few minutes, Charles finally came out with two boxes of traditional Chinese medicine.
"Take this. Traditional Chinese medicine has little side effect."
"Well... Was it so difficult for you to find these two?" Nancy asked.
"Well..." There was a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Noticing that there was something wrong with Charles, Nancy asked, "Charles, what's wrong with
you?"
"I just saw some news. I don't know if I should tell you."
The look on his face made Nancy nervous. "What happened? Is mom..."
What worried Nancy most was her mother's health. Just by thinking about, she immediately felt
anxious.
"Not Mom... It's Edward..."
"What's wrong with Edward?" As a friend, Nancy was also worried about Edward.
She had been so busy these days that she didn't call Edward for a long time.
"Nothing. He seems to have a girlfriend." But his gloomy face didn't change which confused Nancy
more.
If Edward had a girlfriend, Charles should be happy. Why did Charles look unhappy?
"Charles, don't you always hope that Edward can have a girlfriend? He has a girlfriend now. We should
congratulate him. What's with the long face?" asked Nancy.
"Let me show you this..." With a sigh, Charles put the phone in front of Nancy.
When Nancy saw the woman beside Edward, her eyes widened in shock.
Because the woman looked so much like her.
No, it seemed like they were just one person.
