The more Nancy heard Charles' innuendo, the angrier she became.
Charles must be referring to Edward, mustn't he?
Since when had Edward become a monster?
He was part of her family, okay?
"Charles, who are you talking about?" Nancy inquired in a loud voice, unable to bear it anymore.
"Same here, I also want to know who you are talking about," countered Charles.
"Well, I see you are in such a hurry to defend that woman. It seems that your relationship has indeed developed very fast!" Nancy sneered jealously.
"Nancy, what do you mean? Which woman are you referring to?" Charles didn't understand at all what she was ranting at.
What was more, he had not expected that Nancy would have misunderstood him!
"It turns out that you are also good at playing dumb yourself. How dare you ask me which woman? If you don't know, then I don't know either!" Nancy retorted angrily, and then went upstairs in a huff.
Charles was confused. "Nancy, what do you mean? Have you gone crazy?"
"You are the one who is crazy!" Nancy countered, unwilling to give in at all costs. She had been wronged too many times these past few days. The wedding arranged by Charles had disappeared by now. And the reason, of course, could only be related to that other woman.
She was just waiting for him to break up with her, but now he was playing dumb in front of her. What game was he playing? Was he two-timing her?
In spite of everything, Charles's love and affection for her had now been transferred to another woman!
"Nancy!" Charles shouted; he was on the verge of explosion.
His voice was mixed with anger, impatience and disappointment all at once!
Nancy briefly threw a cutting glance at him, and then turned around and went upstairs in a hurry.
Charles naturally followed her upstairs.
Seeing that their Daddy and Mommy were about to have a huge quarrel, the two kids grabbed one of Charles' arms each to stop him.
"Daddy, we are now hungry!" Bobby whispered to calm him down.
"Yes, Daddy. We are both starving," Nadia echoed in agreement.
Charles closed his eyes to keep his emotion in check and gave in. "Okay, I'll cook dinner for you."
He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge to check what to cook. Inside, he found that there were all kinds of meat, fish and vegetables.
"Bobby, did Uncle Edward buy all of these?" Charles irately asked.
"Yes, he did. Uncle Edward said yesterday that he would prepare and cook food for us because you will be coming back soon." Bobby's childish voice could be heard from the living room.
Charles sneered scornfully and thought to himself, 'Edward is really very considerate!'
The codfish and meatballs he stocked in the refrigerator were all Nancy's favorite.
It only clearly manifested how important Nancy was in his heart!
Setting aside his annoyance, Charles took out his phone and began to search some recipe.
An hour later, he was able to cook a sumptuous dinner.
"Nadia, go ask your Mommy to come downstairs and have dinner." Charles knew that at the moment, Nancy hated him very much. Thus, it would be better for the children to ask her to go downstairs for dinner.
"Okay, Daddy, I'll go get her now!" Nadia replied and hurriedly ran upstairs.
Nancy hadn't been sleeping well in the past few days. Her whole body felt sore and weak. In the comfort of the bedroom, she really fell asleep.
