Nancy's words stunned Charles. What did she mean?
Charles looked at Nadia. She had wanted to talk about something in the kindergarten the day before
yesterday. But as Bobby was also there, he had stopped her from spilling something confidential.
Bobby was a smart kid. He must have talked Nadia out of it.
"Bobby, what did you do?" Charles asked, frowning a little.
"Daddy, I didn't do anything. Why don't you believe me? Ask Nadia then if you don't believe me." Bobby
turned to Nadia. "Nadia, say something."
Nadia hesitated. "Daddy, I...I don't know anything." It was not that Nadia didn't want to talk about it. But
she was afraid to do so thinking about the consequences.
She neither wanted to offend her father nor Bobby.
Bobby had already threatened her today in the kindergarten.
He had firmly warned her to stay quiet. Bobby liked Ruby but he didn't want their parents to know about
it. So, he warned Nadia with threatening words like, "Let me tell you, Nadia, if you dare to tell Daddy
and Mommy about her and I get punished by them, you also won't receive a good result."
Nadia asked feeling aggrieved, "What are you talking about?"
"Only this, that I will make your life miserable. You get it right? My silly sister, Nadia." Nadia stood
speechless for a few second.
Then she agreed without having another choice. "Yes, I got it. I won't tell anything to Daddy and
Mommy. Don't worry."
But when Charles asked her about it, she didn't know how to answer him. She fidgeted with her hands
then settled for a neutral answer that she didn't know anything.
"Did Bobby threaten you?" Charles sensed the conspiracy between the two kids. "Tell me, what is it? I'll
back you up. Don't be afraid of him, Okay?" he coaxed Nadia.
Nadia shook her head innocently, "I can't tell you. If I do, Bobby won't talk to me anymore!"
Bobby flinched as soon as Nadia said that. He panicked and spilled it himself, "What? Nadia, what are
you saying? Daddy, it's nothing, really. It's not about Ruby. Okay. Maybe. I just like her a little bit. But
that's normal. Isn't it? We really shouldn't stretch this discussion. You do know right that how it feels to
love Mommy? Then it's not a big deal if I do the same." Bobby scowled.
"It's different for me and you. I am an adult," Charles said seriously.
"I know that. That's why I like a girl of my age. What's the problem then?"
Charles felt his temples throbbing. Bobby was becoming troublesome day by day and it was getting
difficult to deal with him.
"Well, it's definitely your business whom you like. But, let me tell you, Mommy is angry with you today.
How are you going to make her happy?" Charles asked in a low voice.
Bobby grinned wickedly.
"Why are you smiling?" Charles frowned noticing Bobby's sly smile.
"Daddy, Mommy is not angry with me or Nadia. She has been sulking since last night. But last night we
were so obedient to her. Why would she get mad us then? Mommy's anger has something to do with
you."
"Yes, I agree with Bobby." Nadia nodded then went over to Charles, and whispered to him, "Daddy, did
you really go looking for a beautiful woman last night?"
"Do you think such low of Daddy?" Charles asked in shock. He was very careful of his image in front of
his children.
But nowadays, children were very smart. They were quick to learn and knew too much information.
If parents got distracted or careless, they could access the internet sneakily and learn everything from
there.
Therefore, looking after children was nowadays a lot more difficult.
"Daddy, if you don't want us to have a wrong image of you, you have to tell and prove it to us. Where
were you last night?" Bobby asked seriously.
Charles wanted them to know, but he couldn't tell them.
He couldn't tell the kids that he was in the police station yesterday.
It'd be a huge shock to the kids.
The children believed only bad people went to police station. If he told them he went there too, they'd
think he was a bad guy too.
"I had been in a meeting." Charles had no choice but to lie to them. Since he couldn't give the right
answer, also didn't want them to misunderstand him, he could only lie.
The moment he answered the kids, Nancy walked out of the bathroom. She heard what Charles said.
Nancy rolled her eyes. "No wonder the kids lied. Because they've learn it from you."
Charles' face flushed. For the first time in his life, he wanted to hide his face.
Where he was trying to save his kids from embarrassment, Nancy was making it difficult for him.
What should he do now?
"Nancy, it's not what you're implying. I swear I never went to a woman," Charles explained with
confidence.
"I don't anymore care if you went to see some woman or not. From today on, I'm going to sleep with
Nadia. You can sleep with Bobby if you want to. If not, then you can sleep alone. Again, I don't care,"
Nancy snapped before walking off to the kitchen.
"What?? What do you mean?" Charles exclaimed with an almost heart attack. It felt as if a chill ran
down his spine with Nancy's words. Did she just threaten him about their separation?
She only came back recently, and saying she didn't want to be with him anymore.
Her arrogance now started to get Charles annoyed. He only went out last night. It wasn't a big deal!
Nancy couldn't do this because of that! It wasn't fair.
Couldn't she see his affection towards her? Did his love now become so worthless now?
"Exactly that what you understood," said Nancy indifferently.
"Nadia, let's go back to our apartment tomorrow. We're not living here anymore," Nancy said to Nadia.
"I won't allow that!" Now, Charles yelled aloud.
"Who are you to decide that? I don't need to listen to you!" Nancy countered, equally perturbed.
"I'm the father of my children and you cannot take them away from me!" Charles growled.
"Yes, it's true that you are their father. But you're not my husband. We aren't yet married. What does it
make of us living together then? Don't make me start on that," Nancy snapped with furrowed brows.
"Illegal cohabitation!" However, Bobby answered before any of their parents.
Charles groaned helplessly. His own son was digging a hole for him. Nancy was determined to take
Nadia away from him. Why couldn't Bobby understand that the result wouldn't be a happy one if that
happened?
"See? Even Bobby knows that!" Nancy agreed with Bobby. "So I'm going to take Nadia out of here and
that's final."
