Chapter 672 Vigilance
"What kind of gossip is this? Just because the paparazzi took photos of me and Brandy doesn't mean we are having an affair. I don't mind the gossip at all, do you? This is a groundless rumor. Why do you believe it?"
"Everything that ruins marriage starts with groundless speculations, so you have to be alert, Daddy." Sadness flashed through Bobby's eyes.
"Yes, Daddy. You must be on guard. You can't make mistakes," Nadia added.
'What did I do? I was just taught a lesson by these two kids,' Charles thought.
"Let's go." Shaking his head, Charles walked towards the car first, leaving the two behind.
The two children looked at each other, and then they quickly followed up. "Daddy, you have to listen to us, or else, Mommy will leave, and we will lose her!"
Even so, Charles didn't say a word. These kids were stubborn, so they wouldn't listen to him anyway.
Looking at their father's back, Nadia whispered, "Bobby, did Daddy really fall in love with Brandy?"
"It's hard to say. Alas!" It was as if Bobby was so stressed that he put his hand on his forehead and shook his head.
"Mommy will be very sad if Daddy falls in love with Brandy." Rubbing her hands together, Nadia sighed.
"I think Brandy has fallen in love with Daddy..."
"No matter who likes who, it's a troublesome thing. Bobby, don't you think so?" Nadia asked.
"Yes, because our Daddy can only like Mommy, and our Mommy can only like our Daddy..." "Stop talking about the tongue twister. I just want to know what we are going to do next." It was understandable that Nadia was so worried right now, because she was afraid of being abandoned. If their Mommy fell in love with Rick and their Daddy fell in love with Brandy, what was going to happen to them? "Let's talk to Brandy tomorrow."
"Us?" Surprised, Nadia pointed at her little nose.
When Charles heard the two kids whispering at his back, he turned around to check on them. "What are you two talking about? Why are you still here?"
"Oh, we're just wondering where Mommy is." As smart as he was, Bobby came up with an excuse. Of course he couldn't let his Daddy know about his plan.
"Your Mommy?" It was only then that Charles realized that Nancy drove away alone.
This woman was really stubborn!
"Your Mommy must have gone home first to cook for us," Charles guessed.
"Oh, Mommy is so kind!" As soon as Charles heard Nadia's words, his forehead creased.
Was Nancy kind?
Well, sometimes Nancy was really kind. But when she was mad, she was as fierce as a lioness.
Before his mind could wander somewhere else, Charles opened the car door for the children. "Get in the car. Let's go home."
Although Nancy was in a fit of pique and she didn't care about Charles, she knew she still needed to take care of her children. That was why she drove to the supermarket and brought the children's favorite food instead of going straight to Charles' house.
To Charles' annoyance, Nancy was not at home when they arrived.
His face darkened.
Seeing the scowl on his face, Nadia cautiously asked, "Uhm... Maybe Mommy went back to her apartment?"
"Or maybe she was summoned by her patients at the hospital." The two kids kept guessing where their Mommy was.
Without saying a word, Charles left them and went inside the house.
The kids looked at each other with questioning eyes. None of them could guess what was on their father's mind at this moment.
They didn't know where their Mommy went either. "What's wrong with Mommy? Why didn't she come home?"
They talked as they entered the living room. "I don't know. Mommy is always busy, and Daddy knows that... Alas, they both have so many things to deal with. They just don't stop."
Feeling helpless, Bobby shrugged his shoulders. "It's really hard to understand the world of adults."
From the corner of her eye, Nadia saw Charles who was now busy in the kitchen. "Daddy's face looks like a crumpled paper." "He is angry."
Pouting her lips, Nadia replied, "I'm also angry."
"Well, Mommy is also very angry!" In fact, Bobby was also annoyed. Why were there so many troubles happening recently?
After letting out a heavy sigh, Bobby sat on the sofa.
Nadia followed him and rested her chin in her hands.
"Yes, but I miss Mommy."
Footsteps came from outside abruptly. As soon as Nadia heard this, she raised her head and shouted excitedly, "Bobby, Mommy is back!" Then she slipped off the sofa and ran out.
On the contrary, Bobby just pursed his lips and said nothing.
"Mommy..." Staring at the bags of food Nancy was holding, Nadia asked, "Did you go somewhere to buy some delicious food for us?"
"Yes." Using her free hand, Nancy held Nadia's little hand.
"We were talking about you just now. We don't know where you have been..." Upon hearing the sadness in Nadia's voice, she bent down a little and looked into her eyes.
"Sweetie, I didn't go anywhere else. I just went to the supermarket."
"I see." In an instant, the sadness in Nadia's eyes had been replaced with joy. She shook off Nancy's hand and ran inside. "Mommy is back! Mommy didn't go back to the hospital; nor did she go to see Dr. Rick Mommy went to buy us delicious food!"
When Bobby didn't react, Nadia's face darkened.
Why didn't he seem excited that their mother was at home now?
After giving Bobby a sneer, she ran into the kitchen and announced, "Daddy, Mommy is here!"
However, even Charles didn't say anything. He just continued cooking and didn't even bother to look at her.
This made Nadia sad, so she just went to the dining area where Nancy was.
"Nadia, stop shouting. We're about to have dinner now." "Okay, Mommy."
A smile came across her face as she sat down at the table. Without looking at Charles, Nancy quietly put the ingredients inside the fridge.
But when she was about to leave, Charles suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong? What's with the stank face?"
After taking a deep breath, Nancy faced him and replied sourly, "I have been like this for a long time and you have already known it. You just have Brandy and you dislike me now."
It was rare for Nancy to act this way so Charles couldn't help but frown. "Watch your attitude."
"That's my attitude!"
"What? Are you jealous just because I drank a little with Brandy? You hugged Rick. I'm still digesting it. We are just the same. Let's not torture each other, okay?" What Charles couldn't bear most was the cold war between him and Nancy. Every time he saw Nancy's cold face, he felt very sad.
"So, you fired Rick and made him lose his job. You are awesome, aren't you?" This was the root of Nancy's anger this time. How cruel he was for making Rick suffer just because of his groundless accusations! Out of frustration, Charles let go of the spatula he was holding, which fell on the stove with a clang. The next second, he was already grabbing Nancy's arm. "Nancy, don't you know who I am?" "Aren't you Charles?" Although she felt a sharp pain in her arm, Nancy gave a calm response.
She tried hard not to struggle.
Tm a man. Nancy, listen to me. I'm a man. I just can't tolerate Rick. I want him to die now. Do you understand?" The veins on Charles' neck became more visible the more he shouted. He looked so mad as if he could kill at any moment.
"You are such a selfish man, Charles. You are insane. You have been imagining all day long. Rick and I are just schoolmates!"
"Yes, you are just schoolmates. You are so close that you hugged each other in public."
"That's much better than you and Brandy drinking cross cupped wine!" If it was because Nancy was angry or she was jealous that she couldn't help but shout as well, she was not sure.
Gritting his teeth, Charles said, "Oh, so you are jealous? Nancy, that's good. I just drank with Brandy and stayed overnight. That's it..."
