Lying on the big bed, Bobby smelled the food coming in from the kitchen. He grinned and said, "It smells so delicious!"
Charles quickly whipped up some noodles for Nancy. He leaned over and gave it whiff before tasting it. He thought it tasted good enough and took it to Nancy.
"Honey, let me feed you," Charles said sweetly.
His calling of 'honey' made Nancy very uncomfortable.
"Don't call me honey. We are not married!" said Nancy angrily.
After a short pause, Charles said, "Okay. When I get home, I'll discuss our marriage. What do you think?"
With a smile, Nancy said, "That sounds awful!"
Angelina was never going to accept her into the family. It never crossed her mind and it never would.
So Nancy had no intention of marrying him at all.
If she wasn't going to be his wife, she most certainly didn't want to be called honey.
Charles frowned and seemed to be lost in thought.
He understood why Nancy was so frustrated. After all, anyone would be when their partner's mother hated them.
He needed to come up with a solid plan if he really wanted to marry her.
If things went on like this, Nancy and Nadia would end up with Edward sooner or later.
"Charles, you should go take a shower. I don't need you here to eat my noodles." Every time she looked at Charles all these emotions flooded her mind and she was left feeling nothing but distressed.
He was by no means a good person. She shouldn't feel sorry for him, should she?
Charles raised his hand and ran it through her hair lovingly. "I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me."
Then he put the bowl in her hand and said, "I know you are hungry. Don't forget to eat your noodles."
"Okay," said Nancy.
Charles was then off to the bathroom. Nancy looked down at the bowl of noodles and sighed deeply.
She ate a little of the noodles and she was surprised at how tasty it actually was.
She knew Charles hadn't cooked before they met.
A bowl of noodles wasn't going to fix their problems though. She was still furious.
Doris once said, "Nancy, remember, as a woman, don't forgive a man's violence, or your life will be over."
She couldn’t imagine that. She didn't want her life to be over!
However, that wasn't going to stop her from feeling conflicted.
She gobbled up her noodles quickly as she tackled her thoughts.
After taking a shower, Charles came back and took the empty bowl to wash.
The sound of the flowing water somewhat calmed Nancy's uneasy soul.
She wasn't as angry as before but she hadn't fully relaxed yet.
"Would you like to go take a bath?" After Charles came back, he looked into Nancy's eyes intently.
He already set the bath temperature for her. He recalled that the doctor said that they had to apply ointment to the wound.
She shot him an annoyed look. "I can take a bath by myself." Nancy got out of bed and put on her slippers. Although she had all the confidence in the world, her current state couldn't back that up. She stumbled a little and almost fell to the floor.
Luckily, Charles was quick enough to catch her and prop her up.
"Let me help you, okay?" Charles said worriedly.
"I can do it myself!" Nancy said firmly.
She didn't want him to help her. She didn't trust him not to hurt her.
She just wasn't ready to let her guard down.
Charles stood at the bathroom door anxiously.
He wasn't relieved until she eventually came out wrapped in her towel.
"Nancy. Does it still hurt there?" Charles asked.
