While filling up the fridge with food, Nancy heard a car pulled over in the courtyard.
Thinking it could be Charles; she couldn't help but smile happily. It felt nice to be a housewife waiting for Charles at home.
After a while, she heard heavy footsteps coming in the villa.
So Nancy poked her head out and saw Charles who was carrying a box in his arms.
"What did you buy, Charles?"
It was rare for Charles to bring home such a heavy thing, so Nancy was curious. "Are those delicious food?"
For the time being, Charles didn't want to let Nancy know that he had left the TS Group, so he replied, "These are documents, not food."
"Oh, I thought it was something delicious." Nancy pretended to be coquettish.
"What do you want to eat? I can take you out for dinner. " Since Charles didn't have to think about work, he felt relaxed now.
With a smile, Nancy shook her head. "No, I bought a lot of ingredients. Let's make them ourselves."
When he noticed that the house seemed quiet, Charles asked, "Where are the kids?" "They are playing in their room. What? Do you miss them?" Nancy asked half-jokingly.
"Yes," replied Charles.
The truth was, on his way home, his mind was full of Nancy. It seemed that his work and their kids weren't as important as Nancy in his heart.
'I can even abandon the whole world as long as you are with me, Nancy,' he thought.
After Charles put down the box, he quickly went downstairs.
With an apron on, Nancy had put the fish into the steamer.
Charles held her from behind and gently rubbed her shoulder like a child.
Surprised, Nancy asked reproachfully. "What are you doing?"
Although she and Charles were not married yet, the two of them had been together for a long time, and they were just like an old married couple.
In a soft voice, Charles replied, "I just want to hug and smell you. I miss you."
His breath gently tickled Nancy's neck which made her shrink and smile. "It's not spring. Charles, you..."
"Don't say that word!" As if he was punishing her, Charles bit her ear.
"Didn't you say that you missed the kids? They are in their room. Go and play with them while I make dinner. This won't take long. I will just call you once I'm done, okay?" said Nancy softly.
"No, I miss the kids indeed, but I miss you more. Nancy, I miss you. What do you think I should do?" And then he shamelessly hugged her even tighter.
Nancy was a little stunned. Recently, Charles had been bothered by many problems. Why was he in such a mood to flirt with her now?
She turned around and looked at Charles intently. "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because Edward left?"
In fact, Charles still didn't know Edward had gone back.
"Did Edward leave?"
"You don't know?"
"I didn't know until you said it. Why did he leave?"
With angry eyes, Nancy murmured, "How could you not know why? You know the answer!"
A smile appeared on Charles' face. "Of course I know. He did it for our own good. Nancy, Edward is a good man."
What he said made Nancy roll her eyes at him. "Of course he is! I have told you that before."
"What about me? Am I also a good man?"
"What's wrong with you today? Why do you sound so insecure?"
