Chapter 689 Men Are Like Cats
After letting out a heavy sigh, Clark said, "Why can't you just stay at home? Why did you have to drag our family into scandals?"
"I'm sorry, Clark. Please help me this time. I promise I won't let Fannie go out again. I know she will listen to me. She's a good girl." Even though Jill was a bit annoyed too, she still tried her best to intercede for Fannie.
At this moment, she had no choice but to act nice in front of Clark because she knew that no one could help her daughter now except Nancy.
Both Nancy and Clark knew very well that Nancy might be stubborn, but she was soft-hearted. Therefore, she wouldn't be able to stand to watch her sister be imprisoned. "Let's wait and see. I know Nancy won't leave it alone."
In his mind, he was certain that Nancy would not just stand by.
"You are so kind, Clark!"
Despite the tenderness that Jill was showing him, Clark remained indifferent. After all, he knew that she was only acting like this because she needed help.
It was impossible for her to love him, so he had already given up a long time ago.
Back then, Clark always turned a blind eye to everything she was doing, but now he was no longer blind to see that she was only good to him because she was using him.
"Okay, I will listen to you." As long as Clark offered to help her, Jill was relieved.
The two of them waited the whole day, but Fannie still didn't show up.
As the time went by, Jill became more and more anxious. So she kept urging Clark to do something.
Annoyed, Clark was left without a choice but to call Nancy.
Nancy, who just got off work, already figured out why Clark was calling her.
For a moment, she stared at the phone and sighed before she pressed the answer button. "Dad, I know you're worried, but we can't be in a hurry. After all, Fannie did something wrong." "Okay. Just promise me you'd do everything to help Fannie. I beg you. You're the only one who can help us now. I can't do anything now..."
"Dad, don't say that. I'll figure out a way to help her."
"Okay," Clark answered.
When Jill sensed that Clark was about to end the call, she poked him with her arm. "Clark, Fannie has been in the police station for a whole night. I'm afraid that she can't eat well or sleep well. Alas, my heart is in my throat. Please urge Nancy to get Fannie out of there as soon as possible!"
With a nod, Clark spoke to Nancy on the phone again. "Nancy, try your best to get Fannie out as soon as possible. She has been spoiled since childhood and has never suffered any hardship. I'm afraid that she can't bear it in the police station. To be honest, I can't eat or sleep well knowing that she's in the police station right now."
No matter how much he hated the two women now, Fannie was still his daughter. He still couldn't help but worry about her. Moreover, he was still responsible for her. "Okay, Dad. Don't think too much. I will handle this for you."
As soon as the call ended, Nancy dialed Charles' number to ask him to talk to Joseph. However, she couldn't get through his phone even after several attempts. Nancy shrugged her shoulders in disappointment and put away her phone.
"Well, Director Brandy looks stunning. Is she going to have a date tonight?"
"Really? With whom?"
"Who else could it be? Mr. Fu?"
"Don't talk nonsense. They are just classmates. The paparazzi only took photos of them secretly at the bar and made it seem like they are having an affair." "Don't be so certain. How do we know what is going on between them?"
The nurse was about to say something, but one of the other nurses interrupted their conversation.
"Hey, stop it. Director Brandy is coming."
When Nancy turned around, she saw Brandy coming out of her office in a beige leather coat. Beige?
It was Nancy's favorite color.
It turned out that Brandy also liked it.
The sound of Brandy's heels clicking on the floor echoed as she walked towards the elevator.
Then she turned around to meet Nancy's eyes. She smiled with her eyebrows raised, so Nancy smiled back at her.
Indeed, Brandy was dressed nicely today as if she was really going to meet a special person.
"Well, is Director Brandy really going on a date?"
"It seems so."
"Director Nancy is with Mr. Fu, but she can't handle such a woman."
"That's right. Mr. Fu and Director Brandy may be just classmates, but their relationship could develop in the long run. If Director Nancy continues to be too busy with her work, she will probably lose her boyfriend."
The moment Nancy heard what they had said, she came over and looked at them coldly. "Don't you have anything to do?"
The nurses were startled when they heard Nancy's voice. They all turned around in a hurry and smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, Director Nancy. We are off duty now.
We're about to leave, actually."
After the nurses left, Nancy went to the elevator with a heavy heart.
'Old friends could really turn into a couple, right?
Or maybe Charles and Brandy had a crush on each other since then.
Ah...' Trying to erase her thoughts, Nancy patted her head. What was she doing? Why was she thinking about these things?
There was nothing going on between her and Charles anymore, so it didn't matter who he was with.
'Forget it. I'd better go to the kindergarten to pick up the kids.
If Charles isn't there, then it means he went out on a date with Brandy, right?1
Thinking of this, Nancy drove straight to the kindergarten.
When she arrived, she saw Bobby and Nadia looking around at the gate. Because of this, she knew that Charles didn't come. Did he really go on a date with Brandy?
"Didn't your Daddy pick you up?" Even though she already knew the answer, she still asked the children to confirm.
The two kids shook their heads at the same time. "No, Mommy. But we are very happy that you came to pick us up."
'Tm glad to pick you up too. Let's go now." Then Nancy ordered them to get in the car.
The two children were chattering along the way, while Nancy remained silent.
She only talked to the kids occasionally and answered whenever they asked her something.
Upon noticing that there was something wrong with her, Bobby's brows furrowed. "Where's Daddy, Mommy?"
Of course, Nancy couldn't tell them that Charles had a date with Brandy. So she chose to give a safe answer.
"I don't know where your Daddy is. Mommy works in the hospital and your Daddy works in the company. How can I know where he is?"
After thinking for a while, Nadia asked, "Didn't he call you to tell you he's too busy to pick us up?"
"He didn't," answered Nancy.
"I think Daddy is really busy, or he would've come to pick us up." "It was Daddy who often pick us up, so something important might've come up so he couldn't come today.'
Nodding her head, Nadia added, "Bobby is right. Daddy must be busy with the meeting and have forgotten us."
Silence filled the car after that.
The kids only spoke again when the car stopped in front of a western restaurant.
"Mommy is so strange today. She even took us here to eat our favorite western food." Both Bobby and Nadia were confused, because it was rare for Nancy to take them to a place like this. Nancy preferred traditional Chinese food, so she liked preparing food for her kids.
However, she was not in the mood to cook today. Pictures of Charles and Brandy kept flashing through her mind.
Even if she didn't admit it, she was really bothered by their relationship. After all, Brandy could even lure women when she wanted to.
How hard would it be with a man?
It turned out that men were like cats who would always be tempted with fish.
The children surely enjoyed their meals, while Nancy barely touched her food.
Her mind was occupied by Charles and Brandy, so she was really not in the mood.
As soon as the kids were full, Nancy urged them to walk out of the restaurant. Unexpectedly, Nancy saw Charles driving in hurry.
To her surprise, the car suddenly stopped beside them.
