What Nancy didn't know was, Charles had called Hiram and ordered him to send some people to keep an eye on her.
From tomorrow on, Nancy couldn't go anywhere. She would have to stay at home, whether she liked it or not. Of course, Hiram didn't dare to disobey Charles. "Sir, are you having a fight with Miss Ning? What was said in the news is nonsense. You shouldn't believe it!"
Remembering the news made Hiram smile bitterly. He had witnessed what Charles had done for Nancy, and he also believed that she loved him too. So, he couldn't simply believe the news.
"So you know everything, don't you? Why didn't you tell me?" What Hiram said made Charles feel like he had been fooled and the whole world was laughing at him.
"Sir, we have called you many times, but you didn't answer. But what can you do even if you know?"
"I... Well, you can all continue to fool me, but Hiram, don't ask for this month's bonus. By the way, the new year is coming, right? You don't need your bonus for the whole year..."
"Mr. Fu, did I offend you? It's Miss Ning you are angry with. You can't take revenge on me. I object!" The bonus Charles was talking about was amounting to hundreds of thousands, and Hiram thought it was unacceptable to lose it.
However, Charles didn't say a word. He snorted coldly and ended the call.
"Alas, who did I mess with? I'm the one who suffers the loss when you quarrel with each other." Thinking that the money was gone now because of his casual words,
Hiram couldn't help but sigh miserably.
But then, he still immediately sent some people to help Charles. This year's bonus was gone, but he shouldn't lose hope because he still had next year's bonus to look forward to.
The children were already awake when Nancy got up. They surrounded Charles, smiling and chattering.
"Daddy, what did you cook this morning?"
"Wow, it's Daddy's porridge."
"Nadia, Daddy will cook a lot of delicious food as long as Mommy is here."
"No, Daddy made it for you, not for your Mommy. Nadia, you can only eat porridge this morning. You can't eat anything else, okay?" While he was preparing the food, Charles was also busy answering the children's questions. He knew he had cooked terrible meals last time, so he made sure he cooked well today.
"I heard Daddy. Wow, Daddy's bread smells so good..." Looking at the toasted bread, Nadia almost drooled.
However, she could only eat a little today, so Charles said, "Daddy will cook for you when your stomach recovers."
Since his attention was on the kids, he didn't immediately notice Nancy who walked into the dining room. "Kids, I have something to deal with today. Listen to your Daddy. I'm going to work."
A smile appeared on her face as she looked at the children. But when her eyes swept across Charles' face, it disappeared and her eyes were instantly filled with hatred and disgust.
Without saying a word, Charles put the omelette on the plate.
"Mommy, are you leaving again?" Hearing that her
Mommy was about to leave again, Nadia felt a little sad.
"Mommy has a job.¹' That was all Nancy could say. As much as she wanted to spend more time with her children, she had responsibilities as a doctor. She couldn't just do whatever she wanted to do.
Frowning, Bobby asked, "Mommy, there are many people who are doctors. Are they all as busy as you?"
"Yes, doctor is the busiest job in the world. Mommy has chosen it, so I should work hard. Didn't you say that you would support Mommy?" Nancy said apologetically. She hoped that the children could understand her work. Most people engaged in the career of doctor were busy.
No one dared to slack off in the face of life. Doctors needed to be alert all the time. Their profession demanded a lot of time and attention.
"We support Mommy, but Mommy has no time to accompany us." Tears welled up in Nadia's eyes.
Whenever she was hurt, what she longed for the most was her mother by her side.
It was not that she didn't understand her Mommy's work, nor that she didn't support it. She just hoped that her Mommy could spend more time with her and Bobby.
After all, they were just kids who needed their Mommy by their side.
"Mommy will spend more time with you when I am on holiday. But I can't do it today. I have something else to do." After checking the time, Nancy changed her shoes and walked out before they could say anything more.
The urgent thing she needed to do was to make Nana take her medicine. Yes, she took the responsibility to be sure that Nana would take the right medicine.
The kids were not in the mood to eat, just like their mother, so they finished eating soon. When Nancy noticed it, she pushed the bowl and stood up.
"Pack up your things. Daddy will drive you to school." Charles also stood up with an indifferent expression. He looked like he only cared about the children, as if Nancy didn't exist at all.
Well, it was not a big deal for her if Charles ignored her. She could just ignore him too.
When they went out, Nancy followed behind them. "Be good. If Mommy has time this afternoon, I will come to pick you up."
"Okay, Mommy." Nadia turned around and waved at Nancy.
Hearing this, Bobby also turned around, but only to warn his mother. "Mommy, don't be late."
Every time Nancy said that she would pick them up in the kindergarten, Nancy was almost always late.
Therefore, Bobby was suspicious of what she had said.
With a shrug, Nancy replied, "Mommy will keep that in mind."
However, Charles had a different plan, so he said in a cold voice, "Daddy is free this afternoon. I will pick you up early."
"Well, what about Mommy? Mommy also wants to pick us up. What should we do?" Nadia asked.
Before he answered, he opened the car door first and let them get in. "Your Mommy will wait for you at home. Let's go, kids."
"Daddy, what did you mean by that?" Confusion was written all over Nadia's face. "Isn't Mommy very busy? She's going to see her patients. Why is Mommy waiting for us at home?”
"I asked Mommy to have a rest at home today. Aren't you happy?" "Of course we are happy. But what if Mommy is unhappy when she can't go to work?"
Just like Nadia, Bobby was also confused and worried too. Didn't his mommy say earlier that she had an important thing to do? There were plenty of questions in his head, but Charles already started the car.
