Step by step, Charles walked over and held her in his arms. "Nancy, what do you think of my plan?"
He whispered something in her ears, but she shook her head. "Charles, no, I don't think we are destined to be together. Don't make things more difficult. Your grandfather is right. Derrick is in jail because of me. If I get married with you secretly, I won't be able to face Frederic."
"Nancy, what else do you want me to do?" What Charles was thinking was to get marriage certificates with Nancy first and then hold the wedding without informing his grandfather.
But for Nancy, it was too shameful. She was so confident when she made a promise in front of Frederic. How could she break it?
Just as the two of them were arguing, Charles' phone rang again.
When Charles didn't move, Nancy took his phone, only to smile bitterly when she saw the name on the screen. "It's your grandfather. He must have known that I'm here."
Clenching his jaw, Charles took the phone from her hand, but he only stared at it as it rang.
"Charles, just accept our fate. Even if you don't answer the phone, you still can't escape the fact that your grandfather doesn't approve of me. The sooner you accept it, the better. That's it." A glimpse of sadness crossed Nancy's eyes when she turned around. "I'm getting better at toasting bread. Oh, by the way, thank you for the times you've cooked for me and took care of me. But I think we should really end everything this time. As for the children, I will go to the kindergarten to pick them up. I hope you won't forbid me for doing that."
"Nancy, are you dreaming?" With a sneer, Charles added, "You know I won't let you go. Don't push it, okay?"
Nancy just shrugged and smiled bitterly.
"Daddy, Mommy, you two must be fine. Don't quarrel, okay?" Seeing that their parents were about to start another argument, Nadia interrupted them in a hurry.
The two looked at their cute little daughter who had a serious look on her face, but neither of them spoke. Nancy just walked passed Charles and put the breakfast on the table. "Come on, kids. Let's have breakfast now."
On the other hand, Charles walked to towards the sink to wash his hands. After that, he sat at the table, looking absent-minded.
It was Nancy's first day to work at Rick's hospital, so she didn't want to be late.
"Kids, who do you want to take you to school? Me or your daddy?"
"We want Daddy and Mommy to take us to school together," the two kids answered in unison.
"Mommy is very busy today. How about this? Daddy will drive you to school this morning and Mommy will pick you up this afternoon. How does that sound?" Everyone knew that a child strengthened the connection between a man and a woman. That was why Nancy and Charles couldn't be broken up completely. On the other hand, she didn't want to hurt the children because of their relationship.
The kids needed their father's love and their mother's love.
Therefore, she couldn't be absent in their lives as they grew up. She couldn't take away the children's right to have parents who would guide them.
"No." Disappointed, Nadia shook her head.
In the middle of their conversation, they heard a car stop in the courtyard.
"Who is that?" Charles asked.
"The servants?" Nancy answered casually.
"It doesn't sound like it." As if on cue, several people rushed in without a warning.
They were all Frederic's bodyguards. They had been in the Fu family for many years, so Charles easily recognized them.
