Chapter 223 Compromise
Therefore, Angelina decided to send invitations to wealthy families, saying that she was going to hold a party.
The truth was, she just wanted Charles to meet different girls from wealthy families.
Girls who were younger and lovelier than Nancy-
Afraid that Charles wouldn't come to the party, she kept it from him. She didn't call him until the party was about to begin, so he didn't have time to understand its theme. "Go ahead, mom. What's up?" Charles asked.
"Oh, I'm so bored now. I wanted to hold a dinner party tonight, so I sent invitations to my friends. But you are not here, which seems to be too disrespectful to others. So, please come and attend the party. Besides, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I miss you," Angelina sobbed.
She knew that if she cried, her son would definitely agree. With a sigh, Charles replied, "Okay, I'll go home tonight."
"Thank you, son." A smile came across her face.
What she thought was true. Her fake tears worked!
"Daddy, where are you going?" Bobby was not happy with his decision. He was looking forward to their family dinner and he even thought they were going to watch a movie after. But his Daddy was going to leave now.
"Your grandmother wants to see me, so I'm going to pay her a visit." His gaze turned to Nancy when he stood up. "Nancy, I haven't been home for a long time.
I'll go to a dinner party with my mother. Can you take a taxi home with the children?"
Although Nancy was very disappointed, she had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, just go and I will come home with the children. Don't worry." To convince him that it was okay, she flashed a small smile.
"Daddy, I want to watch a movie after dinner," Bobby said with grievance.
He and Nadia had always wanted to watch a movie with their parents.
"Yes, Daddy. Nadia wants to see it too," Nadia echoed.
"Kids, be good. Daddy will go with you tomorrow night, okay?" Charles didn't want to disappoint the children, but Angelina was his mother. He didn't have the heart to ignore her.
With helpless eyes, he turned to Nancy. She faintly smiled and said, "Kids, how about I take you to a movie myself?"
Charles thought for a few seconds, but in the end, he agreed. "That's good. I can ask Hiram to come with you. II
"No. I'll keep the kids company. I don't need Hiram." She liked to be with the children. If Hiram came, she would feel uncomfortable.
Charles looked at his watch and said, "Well, that's good. Remember to call me if you have any problem. I'll pick you up after the movie is finished." "Okay." Nancy nodded.
Before he walked out of the hotel, he kissed the children on the face.
With furrowed brows, Bobby whispered, "Daddy is
disappointing!" "Don't say that, Bobby. Daddy is also busy sometimes." She held both of their hands and walked out.
There were a lot of cinemas in this city. For a moment, Nancy didn't know where to watch a movie with the children.
So she decided to call Doris.
Doris was leaning against Jay's chest while eating lychee. Its skin was already piled up in the trash can in front of her.
"Honey, you can't eat more!" Stroking her belly, Jay said, "Baby, you've had enough too."
For Jay to let her eat more lychee, she said coquettishly, "I still want to eat. The baby hasn't eaten enough, and I haven't eaten enough either."
His face softened but he still didn't give in. "I heard that it's not good to eat too much lychee, especially for pregnant women!"
Doris rolled her eyes at him. "I don't believe it. Who told you that?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I won't allow you to eat more of these!" He put the lychee away from Doris.
"Please, I want to eat..."
Just as she was being sentimental, she suddenly received a call from Nancy.
"Doris, may I ask you a question? Which is the best cinema in the city?" asked Nancy.
"Why don't you ask Charles? I heard from Jay that they used to watch movies when they were single."
"Charles went to the dinner party with his mother. He is not here." Her voice was calm, for she didn't know what was truly happening.
By the mention of the dinner party, Doris went silent for a few seconds.
Because she didn't get any response, Nancy asked, "What are you doing, Doris?"
"He is not there... and did you just say that he went to the party?" Doris unconsciously raised her voice.
This made Nancy frown in curiosity. "Yes. Is there any problem?"
Instead of answering her, Doris looked at Jay.
"Why are you looking at me?" Jay asked in confusion.
"Give me your phone..." She reached out her hand.
With a scowl on his face, Jay took out his phone and put it on her palm.
She clicked on his WeChat Moments and read the information about today's party.
And without exception, they were all about blind dates.
"Jay, tell me, is the dinner party organized by Angelina tonight about blind dates?" Her pupils dilated in anger.
"Oh, can't you read it yourself? Why do you still ask me?" His tone was dripping with sarcasm.
"That's true! How could Charles go to the party? He is together with Nancy, but he still goes out on blind dates with other women!" Her anger didn't subside. "Nancy, why are you so silly? Charles is on a blind date, and there you are still taking care of the children for him!"
Nancy got more confused.
Charles went on a blind date?
How could it be possible?
"You must have misunderstood him. It's impossible for him to go on a blind date," said Nancy.
With a snort, Doris continued, "Nancy, let me tell you. Angelina is going to hold a dinner party at the Hayworth Hotel tonight. But it's actually all about blind dates! I've seen it from Jay's WeChat moments. All the single men and women from the rich and powerful families attended it. Do you think they will bother to attend if it was a normal party? Humph! Charles went on a blind date. How can you be at ease?"
She thought that Angelina had used this way in order to prevent her from being with Charles. She didn't expect that Angelina still didn't give up trying to break them apart and even used such a strategy. "I believe in him. He was also deceived by Angelina."
"Silly girl, Charles is your man. You have to get him back now!" Doris shouted.
Nancy looked at the two little kids beside her and asked, "But... How?"
"Come here quickly. We'll figure it out once you're here!" After Doris finished her words, she got down from the sofa and said, "Jay, take us to the Hayworth Hotel. I'm going to see what Charles is doing now." "Doris, it has nothing to do with you! What's the point of you getting involved in the couple's business?" asked Jay.
"Are you going or not?" She grabbed his ear impatiently.
"Ouch! Fine, we will go!" he compromised.
