A sigh escaped Nancy's breath as she leaned closer and kissed Charles on the cheek. "Charles, I'm
sorry."
With his hand reached out, Charles held Nancy's slender hand and pleaded, "Nancy, please don't go."
"Charles, don't worry. I won't leave you!" Nancy hurriedly replied.
Charles' lips trembled as his eyes closed.
Exhaustion took the better of him as his consciousness faded away.
Nancy thought that Frederic would mind her visiting her children and Charles as long as she didn't
marry Charles.
All she did was visit the children. She never said that she would marry Charles.
Unfortunately, the situation was more complicated than she thought.
Someone uploaded on the Internet a video of her helping Charles get into the car.
Charles and Nancy were usually on the trending searches, and the others didn't take it serious.
However, Frederic was different.
Although he knew Nancy did nothing wrong, Frederic still abhorred her.
Deep inside, Frederic had no idea why he was angry. When he thought of Derrick, Frederic became
depressed.
Initially, Frederic planned to punish Nancy by forcing her to leave Charles. Unfortunately, when he
woke up that morning, Frederic saw the news about Nancy and Charles.
Hardy and Angelina also saw the video.
The video showed how Nancy supported Charles while walking. Their children closely followed them.
The scene made them look like a happy family.
After he watched the recording, Frederic's face turned red due to anger. He hated seeing the
reconciliation of Nancy and Charles. When Angelina noticed Frederic's reaction, she said, "Dad, you
should know by now that Nancy and Charles are a compatible match. Isn't it wonderful to see them
together with their children? They look so..."
However, before Angelina finished her words, Frederic interjected, "Stop it! You're just afraid that if
Nancy leaves Charles, he will never meet another suitable woman. For all I know, you're working
together with them with upsetting me!"
When he noticed that Frederic was angry again, Hardy winked at Angelina. It meant that she should
shut her mouth.
As such, Angelina had no choice but to leave the ward.
Then, she dialed Charles' number. Unfortunately, he didn't answer the call.
The whole night, Charles slept soundly. Meanwhile, Nancy woke up rather early.
Nancy barely slept last night because Charles was so drunk. She gave him water several times in fear
that he might suffer from dehydration.
As such, she had little sleep and sat silently at the edge of the bed the whole night.
After some minutes of sleep, she suddenly woke up. Frederic's words rang in her mind. As such,
Nancy went to the kitchen.
Meanwhile, the children also barely slept last night. When they woke up in the morning, they hurried
towards their parents' bedroom.
Bobby and Nadia wanted to see if Nancy was still there. Unfortunately, the mother was nowhere to be
found.
Tears welled up in Nadia's eyes. "Bobby, where is Mommy?"
"Daddy, wake up! Where is Mommy?" Bobby also grew anxious. He rushed towards the bed and shook
Charles to wake him up.
When Charles opened his eyes, they were bloodshot.
"Why are you kids here? What's wrong?"
"Daddy, Mommy's not here! Where is she?" Nadia asked in an anxious tone.
While in a daze, Charles rubbed his forehead. He drank too much last night that his memories were still
hazy.
A confused expression painted his face as he stared at the children. "You mean your mother?"
"Yes! Mommy was here last night. But now, she's gone. Where is she?" Bobby pouted and squinted his
eyes. "Did you bully Mommy again?"
"What? No! I didn't." Confused, Charles tried to remember last night's events. Last night, he
remembered that he, Joseph, and Daisy took the children to a Chinese restaurant. He and Joseph
drank a lot of alcohol. That was the last thing he clearly remembered.
He lost his memories because he was drunk.
Later that night, Charles felt like she dreamt about Nancy. In the dream, she was talking to him. He
believed that he was only dreaming. However, he was having doubts now. 'Did Nancy come to me?'
"So, where is Mommy?" Nadia asked one more time.
"Well, she..."
At his moment of hesitation, Charles suddenly smelled a sweet scent.
Charles and the children sniffed at the same time. In unison, they exclaimed, "It smells so great!"
"Mommy? It smells like Mommy's cooking!" A cheerful expression painted Nadia's face.
"Yes. Mommy's cooking smells like that!" The two children rushed out of the bedroom.
Meanwhile, Charles struggled to get out of bed. Despite sleeping all night, his head still hurt. Then, he
noticed that he was wearing a different set of clothes. A bitter smile flashed across his face as he
thought, 'Who else could it be? Nancy must have changed my clothes!
I wish she's always here.'
The children ran towards the kitchen. Soon, they saw Nancy cooking with an apron. Happy expressions
painted the kids' faces as they exclaimed, "Mommy, you didn't leave us!"
When she noticed the children's delighted expressions, Nancy felt sad. "Yeah, Mommy is cooking a
delicious meal for you guys. I will finish soon."
"I was so scared when we didn't find you. You weren't in the bedroom, so we thought Daddy bullied you
again. I thought you left us! Mommy, please don't go away, okay?" Nadia pleaded with sad eyes.
Nancy flashed a smile and answered, "Okay. Now, go wash your hands."
"Okay, I will." Then, Nadia went to the bathroom with a happy smile.
"Mommy, pay no attention to Great-grandpa, okay? He's old and unreasonable," Bobby said. "He
doesn't like you, but Daddy does! Nadia and I also love you! Isn't that enough?"
Indeed, the children adored Nancy.
Moreover, Charles was also deeply in love with her.
But Charles wasn't the head of the Fu family, and he couldn't go against Frederic.
"Yes, I understand. Well, be a good boy and wash your hands now. I'll finish cooking our breakfast
soon," Nancy said with a kind smile.
"Okay, Mommy! Pick us up later, okay?" Bobby reminded in a worried tone.
"Sure," Nancy answered in a low tone.
After Bobby left the kitchen, Charles came over. Without saying anything, he stood by the kitchen door
and stared at Nancy.
It was only when Nancy placed the bread on a plate that Charles said, "Today's bread seems
delicious."
Startled, Nancy hurriedly turned around. When she noticed Charles, she shyly said, "Oh, you're awake.
I didn't want to go to you last night, but Daisy called me. When she mentioned how drunk you were, I
decided to pick you up."
"There's no need for an explanation, Nancy. I've told you countless times that the children and I need
you." Charles furrowed his eyebrows. "Nancy, you know that I can't live without you. Right?"
Nancy gave a slow nod. Charles did say that, and she couldn't leave their children.
"But Charles, are you just going to ignore your grandfather's orders?" Nancy helplessly asked.
"Well, I need to listen to what he says. However, I have a plan. Do you want to hear it?" Charles
answered with a sly smile.
"Okay. What are you planning?" Nancy asked curiously.
