Sweet Twins

Chapter 26 She Is Not Your Mother

Charles gave a cold glance.

This frightened them so much that they shrank their necks and maintained absolute silence.

He had planned to go to the hospital to pick up Nancy, and then to go together to the kindergarten for picking up Bobby. However, his good mood was completely ruined by what Fannie said.

"Daddy, are you okay?" Bobby asked, noticing that Charles' expression had changed.

But, Charles didn't say anything.

"Where's Mommy?" Bobby asked again.

"Bobby, she isn't your mother." Charles blurted out coldly.

Bobby was shocked to hear it. What was wrong with his father? His Daddy had promised him that he could call Nancy his Mommy, but why did he change his mind suddenly?

"She's my Mom, you're a bad Daddy. Humph!" Hearing Charles' words, Bobby felt pity for himself. He turned around and looked away from Charles.

Charles just looked at him with his gloomy face, but didn't say anything.

'What happened? Daddy looks so dull!'

In an attempt to find out what had gone wrong, Bobby took Charles' phone and opened the WeChat.

The moment he saw the familiar profile photo of Nancy, he grinned unconsciously.

"Mommy, are you there?" he texted.

Nancy just got off work, and she had three consecutive operations this day. It had been a very busy day for her and she was completely exhausted.

She took off the sterile clothes and walked out of the operation room with half open eyes. The tiresome day had taken a toll on her body. She was finding it hard to walk and felt her legs weighed unusually heavy. She slowly walked to her office and sat down with hands above her head. After a while, she took out her cellphone and started it up.

She always turned off her phone when she had a surgery.

When the phone was on, a WeChat message popped up.

As soon as she saw "Mommy", she knew it was Bobby.

Nancy replied, "Yes."

"Mommy, Daddy seems to be angry. Do you know what happened to him?"

Nancy was surprised, and thought Charles seemed quite happy this morning. 'What might have happened today? Would it be anything related to his company? Or is it something else?'

"Bobby, I don't know."

"Mommy, I think Daddy just misses you so much. What do you think?"

Nancy smiled helplessly, "I don't think so."

However, she remembered that Charles had said that he would come to pick her up after work. But, she didn't know why he hadn't come.

A sudden sense of loss came over her.

"Bobby, give me the phone!" Lost in various fancies and conjectures, Charles suddenly found Bobby's fingers texting on his cellphone. What else would this little guy do besides looking for Nancy?

"Daddy, I just want to ask Mommy about your anger..." Before Bobby could finish, Charles grabbed the cellphone from his hands. He said, "Don't call her Mommy again!"

He said it once again! Bobby hated when he was distressed, and he hated it even more when his Daddy was the reason for it.

Tears almost came out of his eyes. He covered his ears with his hands and yelled, "No! I don't want to hear it..."

After a while, when there was no more messages from Bobby, Nancy exited the WeChat.

"Are you available tonight?" Ethan came over and asked her out.

Nancy shook her head, "You want to treat me?"

She was really hungry now. Thinking that Charles wouldn't be able to come today, she felt free.

"Sure, it's my treat as long as you enjoy it. Tell me, what do you want to eat?" Ethan stretched out his body, put his hands on the desk in front of Nancy, and looked at her eagerly with his big eyes.

"Anything is fine for me," said Nancy.

"You always say that. I have been scared of you saying that since I was a child." Ethan sighed helplessly.

"Okay, you make the decision. I will eat whatever you choose," Nancy replied plainly, since she was never fussy about food.

"Well, pretty girl, then let's have some barbecue. I know you like the smell of smoke," Ethan said with a tender smile.

Nancy stood up. "It feels so happy to know that you still remember."

"Humph! How can I forget? I've been your brother for so many years. I know quite well about you, right? Let's go." Then Ethan waved the car keys and walked out.

Nancy followed him.

Although it was the early autumn, there were still quite a number of people having barbecue at the beach.

Ethan found a relatively quiet place to sit down. Once both of them settled, he ordered prawns, spicy meat skewers, chicken wings, cartilage and so on.

"I'm afraid you ordered too much. What if we can't eat them up?" While in their school days, Ethan often invited Nancy to have a barbecue. At that time, Nancy was so obsessed with barbecue that she ate a lot every time.

"Don't worry. We can pack the rest," Ethan said.

The words were same as many years ago.

However, they were no longer the same innocent young couple.

Nancy and Ethan looked at each other and smiled, sharing their old memories.

However, the atmosphere in the Fu family was a bit awkward.

"Daddy, it's time for dinner." Bobby felt very sad and depressed. Without Mommy, there seemed to be a lot missing and he felt a sudden sense of loneliness in his heart.

But Daddy looked very angry and this added to his worry. Did he quarrel with Mommy?

Bobby was really worried, thinking what had happened.

But he had to ask Daddy to have his dinner. So Bobby knocked on the study door.

'Daddy is behaving very strange today. He locked himself in the study after reaching home. What is he doing there?'

Bobby was curious. He anticipated that his Daddy must have quarreled with Mommy.

What was Charles doing inside? His eyes were red. He googled Nancy's name and tried to search for her information. However, he found that there wasn't much information about her on the Internet.

He could only get things like, she was the eldest daughter of the Ning family, the medical school she was in, and the award she had received in a school artistic evening party.

It could be seen that Nancy was quite an active girl while she was in her college. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Charles turned off the computer in disappointment.

At that moment, he heard the anxious voice of Bobby at the door.

Charles couldn't get it. He had always been an indifferent person, but he was on the verge of breaking out upon hearing that Nancy had given birth.

He thought for a while before making a call to Jay.

"Charles, what's up?" Jay was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching TV and eating sunflower seeds. It was one of those rare days that he didn't hang out because he was a little tired of it.

Yes, "tired".

Massaging the spot between the eyebrows, Charles said leisurely, "I want some information about Nancy."

"Oh, it's just a piece of cake..." Jay said in a flat tone. "Could you ask your men to investigate it? It's just a trifle. You ask me to do it because you don't want me to relax, do you?"

"I don't think it's a piece of cake, Jay. You can have a try." As he spoke, he sent the information he had got to Jay.

Somehow, the closer he was getting to Nancy, the more he felt that she was mysterious.

Charles was not in love with this kind of feeling any more.

"Okay, I'll do it right now." Having left with no choice, Jay put down the remote control, picked up the phone and gave orders to his men.

He agreed to do it thinking that it was just an easy task, but two hours later, all the information he got was the same as the one that Charles had found.
