The children kept Charles and Nancy busy by chatting with them. They didn't give Brandy a chance to
speak.
Therefore, Brandy felt alone even if she was with these people.
Children are the bond of marriage. Brandy had always disdained these words, but today she finally
understood that a child indeed played a key role in a good marriage.
Although Nancy hadn't married Charles,
the existence of their children made it impossible to separate them.
Many had tried, but no one succeeded yet.
"Brandy, you should try this one." Nancy picked up some dish for Brandy.
"Thank you, Nancy."
"You're welcome. Charles often say that he admires you a lot. You're brave, beautiful and generous. Let
me propose a toast to you." After pouring Brandy a glass of wine, Nancy raised her own glass for a
toast.
"Thank you." If she would be honest, Brandy felt out of place around this happy family.
Maybe this was the reason why she let herself drink one glass after another until she got drunk. Nancy
drank a lot too, so Charles had to support them both on their way out.
It was a good thing that he didn't drink at all.
As for Brandy's feelings for him, it was not that he didn't feel it at all. It was just that he didn't really
care.
Since Brandy was too drunk to go home alone, Charles drove to her apartment first, and then they
went home.
The cold wind poured in when Nancy, who seemed to be so drunk, rolled down the car window.
Her hair was being blown by the wind as she sang loudly in the car.
"Aren't you afraid that the kids will catch a cold?" While driving, Charles took a quick glance at her.
"Daddy, Mommy is so excited. She drove Aunt Brandy away herself. How could she not be happy?" A
sly smile appeared on Bobby's face as he spoke.
Earlier at the restaurant, his mother treated his father very well. She was unusually sweet, and she
even spoke gentler to him.
"Charles, Charles..." Hearing Bobby's words, Nancy puckered her lips and kissed Charles' face.
"Nancy, you're drunk." Surprised by her action, Charles lost control of the steering wheel for a second,
which made him frown.
"Bobby is right. I just want to show off our love in front of Brandy. Isn't it hateful?" Nancy flashed an evil
smile. "Charles, do you think I'm hateful? Do you feel sorry for Brandy? Her reaction was so funny!"
All of a sudden, Nancy laughed arrogantly. Even so, Charles didn't seem mad. He just reached out to
close the window and said, "Do we need to show off our love?"
"Ah, didn't you like what I did tonight?" When Nancy's laughter died down, she turned her head to look
at Charles.
Although she was drunk, she was aware that she was really gentle and charming tonight.
It was seldom for her to be affectionate, but tonight she had flirted with Charles a lot.
Obviously, she did it on purpose to make Brandy feel little. Even Charles had noticed it, but he didn't
scold her.
It was strange, wasn't it?
"Nancy, I love you, while Brandy is just my classmate. She saved me, so I'm being nice to her. Who do
you think is more important to me? Having to repeat this line many times made Charles feel helpless.
How could he not see that Nancy deliberately embarrassed Brandy?
It was only because he loved Nancy so much that he indulged her.
Besides, he really liked it when Nancy was being affectionate.
"Yes, Daddy loves Mommy. I can testify!" From the back seat, Nadia raised her hand.
"You have laughed so much tonight. Aren't you tired? Go get some rest," Bobby said softly.
Next to Nancy, it was Nadia who behaved well tonight. She kept calling her mommy and daddy.
Her soft voice captivated the hearts of people.
Just like Nancy, Nadia did it on purpose. She acted like a spoiled child in front of her parents. She even
asked her mother to feed her when she wanted some water.
Then she asked Charles to accompany her to the restroom.
It was because they wanted Brandy to know that they were family, and that they wouldn't allow anyone
else to step in.
Judging from how Brandy reacted, they had succeeded. The stunt they pulled off was too obvious, but
to their surprise, their father didn't get angry.
What did it mean?
It only meant Brandy was not important to Charles.
They won!
Soon enough, they arrived at their house. Charles had to support Nancy so she wouldn't trip and fall.
The two kids hopped upstairs, but Nancy stood still. "I drank too much, Charles. I can't even walk. Help
me. I can't see things clear now." With a silly smile, Nancy patted his face. "I see two faces. What's
going on? Charles, you have two faces. Tell me, which one is true and which one is fake."
"Nancy, are you really drunk, or are you just pretending to be?" As he spoke, Charles grabbed her
hand, and looked into her eyes.
To his surprise, Nancy breathed out from her mouth. "Smell it. Do you think I'm drunk or not?"
"Well, whether you are really drunk or not, what you did tonight made me..." Charles wanted to say
something but stopped on a second thought.
"Embarrassed? I made you feel awkward in front of Brandy, didn't I? Let me tell you, Charles. You
might see her only as your savior, but she likes you. I can see that, but I won't say it. I won't..." Nancy
snickered.
"Silly, you've already said it. Nancy, you're too sensitive. In this world, a person could like someone, but
it doesn't mean they would end up as a couple. I'm with you mostly because of love, a small part
because of the children, and a small part because of responsibility..."
"What did you say?" Anger rose in Nancy's heart. She pushed him away even if she was too dizzy to
stand on her own. "You mean responsibility? I don't want you to be responsible. We are not married.
We just live together. If one day you realize you don't want me in your life anymore, I will leave. I won't
stop you from finding another woman. So, you don't have to be responsible. Get out. Just go look for
your true love, Charles..."
Before Nancy could finish her words, her mouth was stuffed by Charles.
"Nancy, why do you always misinterpret my words? I said I love you. Why do you pretend not to hear
me and mock my feelings for you? I don't love any other woman except you. How many times do you
want me to say that?" This was a recurring issue, so Charles couldn't help but be angry.
"Daddy, can you lower your voice when you show off your love with Mommy?" Standing on the stairs,
Bobby crossed his arms and pretended to be angry.
As soon as Nancy heard it, she motioned for Charles to be quiet. "Hush..."
"Okay, we will stop talking. You take a shower and go to bed." The anger Charles felt quickly vanished.
Maybe it was because Nancy was leaning against his chest and was hugging him tightly.
There was no doubt that he liked it very much.
Only when Nancy acted this way could Charles feel safe.
