Sweet Twins

Chapter 446 Listen Carefully

Charles pursed his lips together and wondered if he should tell Nancy about what happened today.

"Tell me already. You've already piqued my curiosity, so why don't you just tell me? Is it that bad?" Nancy lowered her head and bit hard on Charles' body.

"Ouch! Can you do it more gently? It hurts!" shouted Charles as he took a deep breath.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Tell you. I'm gonna to tell you." Charles held Nancy lovingly in his arms and said, "But you have to promise not to blame me or get disappointed in me."

"I've never been disappointed in you for anything. You know that. I'm am here waiting and listening. Tell me already," Nancy said sternly as she pulled her hair behind her ear. She looked at Charles with a stoic, serious expression.

Charles pulled up his hand to turn off the table lamp. Then, in a low voice, he said, "Nancy, my grandpa handed the TS Group over to Joseph. I've really lost my job this time."

Nancy chuckled.

"What is it? You don't believe me, do you?" Charles' heart sank as he didn't know what Nancy was laughing about.

He didn't know if it was because she was disappointed in him.

Maybe, she was simply doubting his words.

"I"m laughing because I'm happy."

"Are you actually happy that I just lost my job? Your husband may not have a job, but he is still wealthy. However, you should know that even if I have a lot of money, if I don't have a source of income, I will eventually run out of it," said Charles, analyzing their future for Nancy.

Nancy nodded her head gently as Charles held her in his arms. She answered, "Of course, I know that. But don't worry about it. I can support and take care of you and the kids. If the two of us get married in the future, I promise that I will do everything to make sure you don't starve!"

Charles couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this peculiar woman!

He thought that there was no need for Nancy to support him.

Nonetheless, he found her words moving and endearing.

"Nancy, I don't need you to support me," Charles said dejectedly.

Strangely, there even seemed be a hint of disappointment coming from his voice.

"What? Are you upset?"

After all, it wasn't easy to come from a position of an arrogant king, into a commoner who was just like everyone else. The psychological gap must have put him in an uncomfortable spot.

"No. I'm just worried that Joseph will burn the TS Group down into the dumps! After all, the company's success happened because of all my painstaking efforts," Charles said in a broodingly tone, as he looked down on the floor.

"Charles. Something is wrong..." Nancy said, after having thought of it for a while.

"Why? What's wrong?" Now, it was Charles turn to be surprised. He felt as though everything he said was coming from a place of sincerity. He didn't expect that Nancy would find a problem with it.

He thoroughly pondered on why Nancy would suddenly claim such a thing.

"You're lying, Charles! You must be lying."

"No..."

"What? Do you think that I don't know you well enough?"

"I think so. Not too well, anyway!" answered Charles vaguely.

"I'm telling you. I know you much better than you think!" Nancy was always an observant woman. Besides, she had been living with Charles for so long by now.

"Really? Enlighten me," said Charles with great interest.

It felt as though he hadn't gotten into a good conversation with Nancy in a while.

Besides, it was a rare occurrence for him to have so much free time, so it was a good time to have a nice chat with her.

The night was dark, and in the pitch black room, Charles stared deeply into her eyes. Perhaps it was because he was so close to her, but he could see a glimmer of excitement from Nancy's eyes.

Suddenly, a flash of a memory distracted Charles for a moment. Five years ago, there was a pair of eyes sparkled in the dark night the exact same way.

Back then, those pair of eyes was filled with fear and panic, but now, they were full of excitement and happiness.

It had been five years, neither too long nor too short. Charles never even expected that he would meet that same woman again.

He wondered if this is what fate was like.

Charles held Nancy even tighter, rubbing her stubby nose with his sharp chin. "Tell me. I would really like to hear you tell me what your impression of me really is."

"I think of you as a very strong and domineering man who will never give up on your goals and desires. To be more specific, the TS Group, the company on which you have spent all your painstaking efforts on for so many years. Based on your character, you will never simply give it up to Joseph," Nancy said with conviction.

Charles opened his mouth to say something.

Before he could speak, Nancy pressed her finger on his lips and said, "Don't try to fool me. No one can simply stop you from your own plans and decisions. Similarly, no one will be able to take away what you don't want to give up. You will never give up on the TS group so willingly. The only thing I don't understand is how Joseph got a hold of the company. Did you do it on purpose? Or are you playing hard to get? Or do you want to retreat for the sake of advancing?"

Charles flicked her forehead gently, and laughed calmly.

"What makes you laugh? What's so funny?" asked Nancy. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'm laughing at you because you know me too well. The TS Group is my career and of course I won't hand it over to Joseph so easily. Unfortunately, I have to do this for the sake of my grandfather, or he will spend the rest of his life against me. I'm personally allowing grandpa to see how the future of the TS Group will be like in Joseph's hands. More importantly, so that he can truly see my value and won't cause any trouble for me in the future!" After his short monologue, Charles continued, "There you go. Are you finally satisfied with my answer?"

"Well, that's exactly what I know about you, Charles. In any case that you give up on the TS Group because of me, I will surely be uneasy. So, don't give up on the company. Okay?" Nancy pleaded.

"Okay, honey. Trust me, everything is under my control," Charles said confidently.

Nancy smiled at him lovingly. She had to admit that she adored these qualities of Charles. He liked seeing him when he was confident, domineering and decisive.

If someone truly wanted to be a man, they needed to be vigorous and powerful.

When the next day came, Charles didn't have to go to the company to work, so he drove the children to their kindergarten as usual.

This time, however, he didn't leave until he had personally handed the children to the teacher. Before he left, he had warned the teachers to make sure they didn't let his kids leave without permission.

As expected, none of the teachers would dare contradict his request.

However, the moment Charles left, Bobby ran straight to his teacher.

"What's wrong, Bobby?"

"Teacher, could I borrow your phone?" asked Bobby.

"Bobby, you just heard what your father just said. You need to be honest and obedient. Don't even think about causing trouble anymore. You should be a good child, okay?" The teacher was worried sick that the consequences would be unimaginable if Bobby tried to run away again.

Fortunately, nothing catastrophic happened yesterday. Today, they had made sure to send more people to watch over Bobby and Nadia.

After all, Charles donated a lot of money to the kindergarten.

To put it plainly, everyone there was under Charles' hold. They couldn't afford to be careless, as there were risks of being fired by the director of their kindergarten.

"Teacher, I miss Uncle Edward. I just want to call him," Bobby said seriously.

"Fine. Just make sure to do it quickly. You hear me?" Observing that Bobby didn't seem to be lying this time, the teacher took out her phone.

Bobby found Edward's phone number and dialed it.
