The apartment was about the same size as the one offered by the municipal hospital, but this was fully furnished. As soon as she opened the wardrobe to put her clothes in, she was surprised. How could she not be, when there were so many colorful clothes already hanging in it?
At a glance, she knew that it was her size. Rick must have prepared them for her before she even came here.
This only made her more embarrassed. She knew that Rick treated her differently, but she didn't know how to refuse.
Maybe one of these days, she should really have to talk to him about it.
She was already a mother to two lovely kids, and besides, her priority now was her career. She had no time to think about personal affairs.
Meanwhile, Charles had been uneasy all day long, knowing that Nancy and Rick were together. From time to time, he would call Hiram to ask for updates about Nancy.
When he heard that Nancy and Rick were in the same room, Charles suddenly stood up and kicked the chair. "Damn it, Hiram! Whatever it takes, you have to check on them. You can't let anything happen between Nancy and Rick. If anything happens, you will wait and see."
Hiram was very upset, but he had no choice. After ending the call, he knocked on Nancy's door and quickly ran to hide. He only felt relieved when he saw Rick leave the room.
Then, he reported this to Charles immediately.
Even so, Charles was still restless. He ordered Hiram to keep an eye on Nancy at night, just in case Rick would come back.
Although Hiram felt helpless, he had no choice but to agree.
In the afternoon, Charles picked up the kids from the kindergarten.
Both Nadia and Bobby had a cold look on their face when they got in the car, and none of them talked to Charles.
They ignored him, as if he didn't exist.
"What's going on, you two?" Charles couldn't take it anymore.
"Daddy, what's going on between you and Mommy?" Bobby asked angrily.
"Your great-grandpa was upset, so he asked your mommy to leave." The hardest part was explaining things to the children.
"What does it have anything to do with Great-grandpa?" Confusion was written all over Nadia's little face.
"Because he is my grandpa. He loves me very much, and I love him just the same." There wouldn't be so much worry and concerns if Frederic was not sick, but he was, so Charles found it difficult to go against him.
"Doesn't you love Mommy?" Like Nadia, Bobby was confused too. What did their great-grandfather's opinion have to do with their parents' relationship?
"Of course, I do."
There was never a time that he stopped loving Nancy. What he felt for her was irrevocable.
"Dad, I get it now. It must be Great-grandpa, right? He doesn't want you to be with Mommy, does he?" Bobby asked.
Not knowing what to say, Charles only sighed.
After thinking for a while, Bobby thought of an idea. "Daddy, I want to see Great-grandpa now. Can you take us to the hospital?"
"Okay." It was not hard to guess what the boy was going to do. He would try to please Frederic and then ask him to let Nancy come back.
However, Charles knew that it wouldn't be that easy. After all, Frederic was too angry to listen to anyone. And even if he agreed, Nancy still wouldn't come back.
