Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love novel Chapter 246

The meeting just ended, and everyone left the room. Nancy and Charles were the only ones left in his office.

The shareholders always gave Charles a hard time. Nancy could not help but worry about him.

How he handled the situation surprised her. The meeting was smooth and easy. Charles didn't say much, but every word he spoke was firm and irrefutable.

"The shareholders... Did they always do that on purpose? Deliberately make things difficult for you?" Nancy walked towards Charles and stood behind him. She lightly rubbed his shoulders with her uninjured arm. He seemed at ease, but he was probably stressed and tired.

He turned to face her, took her hand, and kissed it gently. "Earning more money is all they care about. All these years of huge profit and they still haven't realized why it's possible at all."

"That’s not true. They know it; at the end of the day, they still follow your lead," said Nancy softly. She looked at him intently with her honest eyes.

"I like it when you flatter me. It's not like you." Charles let out a chuckle.

"Don't read too much into it!" Changing the topic, Nancy asked, "By the way, what kind of video do you want to make? How do you want it to turn out?" "I want a video of the kids with you and me!"

"Can this mitigate the negative impact?"

"You really wouldn't mind showing up in the video?" Charles answered with a question.

"If it would help control the damage, why wouldn't I be willing?"

"That's good to know. I'll come with you when you shop for the clothes that you were last time so people wouldn't think we're lying," Charles suggested.

"Alright. Sounds fine with me." Nancy nodded in agreement.

"Hey, you seem a little different today. Is something bothering you?" Charles stood up and hugged her gently.

"In what way?" She had no idea what he was talking about.

"Here." For a moment, Charles leaned back and pointed at her heart.

"It's the same as it had always been beating. How is it different now?" replied Nancy, pushing away his hand.

"Beating as it always had been, yes... beating for yourself and for children. But now it's beating for one more person, too," Charles said with a warm yet playful smile on his face.

He wasn't always like this. In the past, he never really understood what it meant to fall in love. He could have what he wanted—that was his mindset, at least.

Others didn't even have the right to refuse.

It had always been that way until he met Nancy and got to be with her day in and day out. To his surprise, there was so much more to life than he always imagined.

Life didn't need to be extravagant. It could be plain and simple yet so fulfilling.

He used to be the overbearing and bossy Charles whom one wouldn't imagine living a typical and ordinary life.

"How sentimental! You're fooling around with me," Nancy teased and complained.

"Oh, c'mon! I know you like it when I'm being sentimental." Charles wrapped his arms around Nancy and kissed her on the cheek. "Attend a meeting with me!

"You seriously want me to go with you?" 'He must be kidding,' Nancy thought to herself and looked at him in disbelief.

"I just want the whole world to know that you, Nancy, are my beloved. Is there anything wrong with that?" Charles ran his hand through Nancy’s hair, asking and convincing her to join him.

"Okay, okay! I'll go with you," answered Nancy who knew that she wouldn't be able to say 'no'.

"Great! Let's go." He held her hand as they walked out of the room.

Charles' secretary, stationed outside his office, was taken aback by the sight of her boss holding hands with a woman. Her eyes widened, unable to hide her surprise. 'Am I really seeing what I’m seeing? My boss, the most cold-hearted man in this city, is holding a woman's hand in public?

What is he up to?' she could not help but wonder.

'Could the relationship be for real? Would it last?'

Seeing the secretary's reaction, Nancy blushed. She lowered her head as she closely followed Charles' footsteps.

On the contrary, Charles brimmed with confidence. He walked briskly with a calm expression on his face.

His lips curled into a smile.

"Everyone, are you seeing what I'm seeing? Our CEO is actually smiling!"

"Yes, he is! Nancy is the woman who got entangled with our CEO on TV, isn't she?"

"It doesn't seem like it, but we can never really tell what's going through our CEO's mind!"

"That's true. But our CEO is nothing like Jay. The fact is, we don't know the truth; we know so little so we better not talk nonsense!"

"Exactly!"
