Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love

"But daddy, I want to learn how to do it now. May I?" Bobby insisted.

"No, now is not possible. It's already past your bedtime. You need to go to bed and we'll talk about it tomorrow," said Charles in a stern voice. He was afraid he just might give in to Bobby's plea.

"Okay, but may I sleep beside you on your bed tonight?" Bobby asked. His admiration for his daddy was immense. He thought that as long as he was with Charles, he would be able to learn kung fu and in time, he would be strong as him.

"Okay, but you need to go to sleep now." Having said that, Charles went into the bathroom.

He soaked himself in the bathtub and stayed there until the water was too cold to bear. It was already dawn when he went to bed.

His heart was filled with so much hatred, and the person he hated the most was Dorothy.

On the other hand, Bobby was happy.

At kindergarten, he was so proud of his father and boasted to every kid he met, "My daddy is awesome in kung fu!"

He told Nadia, "Nadia, once I have learned kung fu, no one will ever dare to bully you anymore. I promise to protect you your whole life!"

The teacher heard him and took his words as nothing but childish wishful thinking.

After he had taken a shower, Charles felt less drunk and he had sobered up a little.

He instructed the servants to redecorate his bedroom and throw away everything.

Charles could see the admiration in Bobby's eyes clearly, but he found it a bit uncomfortable.

In the business world, he was powerful and the magnitude of his influence was vast. Still, he wasn't able to arouse Bobby's admiration. He was not proud of the fact that he only won it after that embarrassing night.

'Alas, how could anyone as young as you understand what was going on?' he thought.

Charles finally charged his phone which had been turned off for several days.

He let it ran out of battery because he wanted to be oblivious to any message that could make him feel uneasy.

Coincidentally, the phone rang right after he had turned it on.

"Charles, where have you been these past few days? How could you be out of radar for so long? If you hadn't turned on your phone now, I would have gone to your house to find you!" Jay said worriedly. "Why are you shouting? Has something happened?" Charles asked.

"Well, tell me the truth. Are you getting engaged or not?" The invitations to the engagement were already finished and Charles had instructed Jay to give them out. However, the incident involving Nancy made things complicated and Jay could not get in touch with Charles.

He was more worried by the sudden turn of events than by his own engagement!

"What do you think?" With his brows furrowed, Charles rubbed his fingers from time to time, deep in thought.

"Do you want to hear my opinion? If I were you, I will push through with the engagement. But you are not me, so it is up to you to decide!" said Jay angrily.

"Just go on with it?" Charles asked again doubtfully.

"Alas! Since when have you become so hesitant? Since when have you been so indecisive? You do not seem like the Charles I knew. Obviously, Nancy has been set up by someone. Considering how smart you are, how come you cannot figure that out on your own?" Jay anxiously asked.

"I know, you are right."

Indeed, he had figured it out.

But he could just not forget the pictures that he saw.

The picture of Ethan lying on one side, while Nancy was on the other side, was deeply etched on his mind.

Although they were covered with a quilt, he still could not help but be hurt. He was filled with jealousy.

"So what are you going to do about it? Do you want to investigate what happened?" prompted Jay.

"Yes, definitely!" Charles said with conviction.

"I have already checked the hotel surveillance. It's a pity that the security camera was broken that day, but that makes it all the more baffling. It could only mean one thing. It was planned carefully and the person behind it was well prepared," analyzed Jay.

"Do Fannie and Jill have something to do with it?" Charles asked out of curiosity.

For him, no other woman could be as vicious as Fannie.

"No, it's neither one of them," Jay said confidently.

"What? It's not them?" Charles was very surprised by Jay's reply and squinted his eyes.

Who else would ever dare to do such things to Nancy?

If not them, who else could it be?

"I'll keep on investigating and you'll be the first to know if there is any more clue."

"Okay."

"All right. By the way, shall I continue distributing the invitations?" This was the main purpose of his call today. He wanted to know what to do with the invitations. "Yeah, go ahead!" said Charles.

"Okay, got it!" Jay hanged up the call happily before Charles could change his mind.

Charles wanted to hear Nancy's voice, and decided to call her. But as he picked up his phone, he suddenly didn't know what to say to her.

So, he ended the call before it even got connected.

Early the following morning, Bobby ran to his room and woke him up excitedly.

"Daddy, get up now," said Bobby while grabbing his ears.

Charles felt a sharp pain shot through him. Still half asleep, he opened his eyes and asked reluctantly, "What's up? Why are you already awake? It's still too early."

Bobby approached him and asked mysteriously, "Daddy, did you practice kung fu again last night?"

He never thought that Bobby would remember what he said and take his words seriously.

"No, I was too tired last night. I didn't do it." He checked the time. Even though it was still too early, he could no longer go back to sleep. He lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"All right, I understand," Bobby said, albeit a little disappointed.

"How is Nadia? Did you see who is sending her to kindergarten?" Charles asked all of a sudden.

"Of course mommy personally brings her to kindergarten. Every day, I wait for them at the gate. When she sees me, she kisses me and I kiss her back. I also told mommy that you had been practicing kung fu lately."

"Did she... Did she say anything else?" Charles stuttered.

Bobby shook his head negatively. "No, mommy didn't say anything else."

"Okay. Should I drop you off at kindergarten this morning?" Charles asked, looking for an alibi to see Nancy.

"Sure, why not?" Bobby agreed happily.

And so, Charles was the one who brought Bobby to kindergarten that day.

As expected, he saw Nancy standing at the gate with Nadia.

She seemed to have lost a bit of weight, although she still looked beautiful and delicate.

Her gaunt appearance only roused his resolve to protect her all the more.

He had racked his brains, but he just couldn't understand why Nancy didn't even bother to explain what happened between her and Ethan.

She didn't try to defend herself at all and kept mum regarding that incident.

Charles fixed his eyes at Nancy and gazed at her intently while trying to figure out what was in her head.

"You can think what you want about the relationship between me and Ethan. I admit I like him and you are aware of it." It wasn't her intention to annoy Charles. All she could hope for was to make a clean break with him.

"You are lying. No matter what you say, I don't believe you." Charles seemed to say the words between his teeth as he slowly spat them out of his mouth.

"You clearly saw it, didn't you? I know you have already asked someone to delete those photos. But you don't have to do that to clear up my name, Mr. Fu. I choose to be with Ethan willingly." Before she could finish her words, Charles suddenly leaned towards her.

Without further ado, he had already pressed her against the car.

"We are in a public place and there are so many people watching us. Please behave yourself!" After all, they were at the gate of the kindergarten where many people were coming and going to drop off their kids.

Nancy's face turned pale in embarrassment.

She had just been through so many terrible things recently, and she couldn't really afford any more scandal right now.

Considering her weak heart, would she still be able to endure further sufferings?

"Oh, this is not the first time you have done that. You've even done it before with a bigger audience, so why do you care about these people?" Saying these cruel and hurtful words was not his intention, but when he saw her aloof attitude towards him and felt her cold

treatment, he lost control. He felt that he was the one who made the mistake, not her.

How could she still be so calm after committing a mistake?
