Nancy knew she would be uncomfortable staying in someone else's house,
let alone in the house of a domineering person like Charles.
"This is my home. Do you understand?" she said while straightening the quilt for Bobby.
"But you are my mommy now. We are a family. Why can’t Mommy live with me?" Bobby asked, pouting.
All the other kids lived with both their daddy and their mommy, so why couldn’t he?
"Bobby, you are too young to understand many things. When you are a little older, you will understand them." Nancy smiled at him comfortingly, but in heart, she felt bitter.
Bobby blinked his big eyes and said, "Mommy, can't you marry Daddy so that the three of us can live together?"
Nancy was shocked. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Bobby, don't say that to your father. Got it?"
Who knew what Charles would think if he heard this? Besides, Angelina already had a bad impression of her, and she didn't want to make it even worse.
"But I want Mommy and Daddy to get married..." Bobby whined.
"Honey, let's play a game. Come on, let's clap our hands, " Nancy said hurriedly, trying to change the subject. There was no point in seriously discussing such a sensitive topic with a child.
'Okay, Mommy, you clap once, then I'll clap..."
All these days, Nancy had been shrouded in the loneliness of missing her own child.
But Bobby had driven away all those negative feelings when he had come into her life,
bringing happiness and joy instead.
With him, time passed quickly.
Soon, morning arrived.
Afraid that Charles would come, Nancy got up earlier than usual.
She made bread toast, fried eggs, and some warm milk for herself.
Then, she made a fruit salad and a steak for Bobby.
When it didn't seem like Charles would be coming, she took out the children's clothes she had bought before and put them on for Bobby.
Then, she had breakfast with him and drove him to the kindergarten.
What she didn't know was that Charles was following them in his own car.
The truth was, he hadn't slept well the night before.
He spent all night alone in his study, downing one glass of wine after another.
It wasn't until dawn that he finally left his study.
"Where are you going, Charles?” Angelina asked, taking in his disheveled hair and clothes.
"I'm going to see Bobby," Charles replied casually.
"Bobby? Isn't he home?" Angelina asked anxiously. To her, Bobby was as special as her own child.
"No, he's with Nancy now. Never mind, you don't need to worry about it." Charles waved his hand impatiently and walked into the courtyard.
"Ever since that girl appeared, this whole family has been a mess! Nancy this, Nancy that. I think she is a gold digger!" Angelina grumbled, looking at his back.
Charles climbed into his car and drove to Nancy's house.
Then, he lit a cigarette and waited forthem outside.
Last night, he had deliberately let Bobby stay alone at her house. He had decided that as long as his son was with her, Ethan wouldn't be around.
Standing at a distance, he watched as Nancy and Bobby cheerfully walked out of her house together hand in hand. Nancy opened the car door for the little boy, and then lowered her head to give him a kiss on his forehead.
