Sweet Twins

Chapter 424 Stick To Her

Charles looked at Bobby. "Tell me, what happened?"

Bobby pursed his lips and stubbornly remained silent.

Nadia didn't say anything either.

Charles kept his gaze at Bobby.

A lot of things had happened recently, and they could affect the children. Thus, he had to give them time to process the events.

After a while, Bobby muttered, "I wish that daddy and mommy would get married soon so we can be normal like other children."

Bobby had been bothered by this for a long time because other children claimed that their parents had a marriage certificate.

But his mommy didn't have a marriage certificate with his daddy. Instead, she had one with uncle Edward. Although uncle Edward already offered an explanation, it included the admission that he indeed had a marriage certificate with Nancy.

Even if his daddy didn't seem bothered about it, Bobby still felt that he and Nadia were different from other children.

Charles smiled, raised his hand and rubbed Bobby's little head dotingly. "Don't you remember our agreement about telling daddy whatever happens? I've thought about that too. How about this? After dinner, I'll have a serious talk with mommy. As long as she agrees, I'll marry her, okay?"

"But... Will mommy agree?" Bobby asked worriedly.

He couldn't understand why his Mommy hadn't agreed to his daddy's proposal yet after such a long time.

Why wouldn't Mommy consider for him and Nadia?

"Of course mommy will agree! She loves us very much," Nadia declared happily. She was much more optimistic than Bobby.

"Yes, mommy will agree," Charles concurred confidently.

In the past, Nancy could find all kinds of excuses, such as his grandpa's disagreement, his mom's contempt... But now, Charles had already renounced everything for her: the TS Group, his social status, everything. He already proved that all he wanted was to be with the kids and Nancy. How could she still refuse?

"Is that true, daddy?" Bobby's eyes sparkled with expectation.

Charles nodded. "I promise. Tomorrow morning, mommy will tell you that she has accepted my proposal. How do you like that?"

"Okay, daddy. Don't let me and Nadia down!" Bobby said seriously.

"Let's make a pinky swear." Charles stretched out his little finger.

Nadia and Bobby also reached out their little fingers and said, "I want you to pinky swear that you won't break the promise forever."

At this time, Nancy's voice was heard from downstairs. "You three, go downstairs to have dinner."

"I'm coming, mommy!" Nadia answered with glee.

Moments later, Charles walked down the stairs hand in hand with Nadia and Bobby.

Nancy had put all the dishes on the table. She took off her apron and watched Charles and the children wash their hands in preparation for dinner.

"What do you think?" Nancy pointed at the well-presented food at the table, waiting to be complimented by the kids and Charles.

"What do you say, kids? Mommy worked hard to prepare our meal. Thank your mommy," Charles urged the children.

Nadia and Bobby shouted obediently, "Thank you, mommy!"

Those few words were more than enough to warm Nancy's heart.

"Mommy loves you so it was not hard to do at all. Now, let's have dinner." Nancy fetched two small porcelain bowls and served rice to the children.

Nadia suddenly leaned her head over and whispered strangely in Nancy's ear, "Mommy, you must agree."

Nancy was confused. "Agree to what?"

"Stop talking, Nadia!" Bobby rebuked angrily. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Nadia lowered her head frantically.

"What's going on with the kids?" Nancy turned to Charles, puzzled.

"The kids are just fooling around. Come on. Let's eat." Charles took the spoon in Nancy's hand and filled her bowl with rice.

"Okay." Nancy could sense that something was going on, but if the children wouldn't tell her, it was meaningless to probe.

So she decided to just focus on dinner first.

Bobby and Nadia ate very quickly. Bobby pushed the bowl and said, "Daddy, mommy, I'm full."

Then he stood up and walked out.

Nadia did the same.

She then jumped out of her seat to catch up with Bobby.

"These two kids... They are acting a little odd today. Did something happen at the kindergarten?" It seemed that Nancy was asking Charles, but was also talking to herself.

"I didn't notice anything. Maybe you are just thinking too much," Charles replied calmly.

Nancy shrugged.

After dinner, Nancy went to the kitchen to wash the bowls and chopsticks.

Charles didn't leave. Instead, he followed her.

"Charles, I also thought that you are acting strange today." Putting on the apron, Nancy turned around and narrowed her eyes at Charles.

Charles walked toward Nancy and put his arms around her waist. "You are too sensitive. There is nothing unusual about me and the kids."

"Cut it out, Charles. Since you came back, you've been sticking to me like glue. How is that normal?"

"We are a couple. It's normal for us to be intimate," Charles said shamelessly.

"We are a couple, but we are not married," clarified Nancy, putting the dishes into the dishwasher.

"How about we get married?" Charles asked gently.

Nancy paused and casually replied, "Okay."

"Then let's set a date for the wedding?" They should have been married a long time ago, but it was delayed for various reasons.

Charles was very anxious. He had too many worries before: the TS Group, his grandfather, his mother, and so on.

Now he could leave everything behind. As long as Nancy agreed, he could marry her and live a simple and happy life with her.

Just like all the couples in the world.

"You know, Charles, your moods are always shifting. Your grandpa is still in the hospital and Derrick hasn't woken up yet. If we get married now, I think it will off piss grandpa," said Nancy argumentatively.

The Fu family was on the verge of breaking down. It was a critical time. If Charles suddenly married her, it might cause more controversy.

Even Nancy herself couldn't accept it, let alone Frederic and Angelina.

"Grandpa..." Charles frowned. Suddenly, he added, "It is said that bad luck can be counterbalanced by a happy event. So many bad things have happened to the Fu family recently. Maybe after we get married, the bad luck will go away and everything will be fine."

"When did you become so superstitious?" Nancy complained.

"I'm not superstitious! I just want to marry you, Nancy," Charles pleaded.

Closing her eyes, Nancy thought about it seriously.

Perhaps the misfortunes experienced by the Fu family could really be reversed by a blissful event.

"Did grandpa agree?" asked Nancy.

She always cared about how Frederic and Angelina and felt.

If they didn't accept her, wouldn't she still be bullied after she married into the Fu family?
