Sweet Twins

Chapter 434 Ugly

"Bobby, I haven't figured out what happened between Mommy and Daddy. Why are you pulling me? Ouch! My hand hurts!"

"Stupid, can't you see that Daddy and Mommy are keeping secrets from us? Even if you ask them, what answers can you get? Didn't we agree on following Daddy tomorrow?" Bobby said in a low voice.

"Okay, but I'm not stupid. I'm just worried about Daddy and Mommy." Every time Bobby called her "stupid," Nadia would get angry.

Bobby and Nadia were fraternal twins, and her personality was the polar opposite of Bobby.

She wasn't stupid: she was just timid.

"You are stupid. Humph, you are so stupid that you can't even realize it!" Bobby shouted, trying to tease Nadia.

"Bobby, you are a fool!" Nadia shouted too. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

"Nadia, let me tell you. Not only are you stupid, but you're also ugly! I've never seen a girl as ugly as you. I predict that when you grow up, no boy will marry you!" Bobby shouted as he looked up the stairs.

Nancy was in a hurry to make dinner for the children. Also, the sound of cooking was loud. Therefore, she could only hear the children quarreling, but she couldn't hear what they were quarreling about.

"Stop quarreling. Dinner will be ready soon!" said Nancy without much thought.

But the kids just ignored her.

If Bobby got Charles' genes, then Nadia got Nancy's genes. She might start on a lower standing, but that would seldom mean she was going to compromise. She prepared by bending down, stretching out

her neck, and opening her mouth wide. And then she... shouted.

Bobby was Charles' son, so he shouted too.

The two kids stood in the living room like two gamecocks, and neither of them compromised.

Charles was sulking in his room.

He was already quite irritated, and the quarreling in the living room wasn't helping it.

He put down the book and walked out of the study.

He hurried downstairs. The two children stopped when they heard his footsteps. They looked up at Charles at the same time.

"Why are you quarreling?" Charles asked with a cold face.

"Bobby called me stupid, Daddy..." As soon as Nadia said this, her tears fell like a downpour. "He also called me ugly!"

At the sight of Nadia's wronged face, Charles' heart sank. "Bobby, how can you say something like that to your sister? You are a big brother, and big brothers have the responsibility of protecting their younger siblings. Even the other children don't say anything to hurt Nadia. So as her brother, how could you call your sister stupid and ugly? Wouldn't that mean you're also stupid and ugly?"

Disdain was written all over Bobby's face. "Then tell me whether Nadia is ugly and stupid or not."

Charles raised his hand and wiped Nadia's tears. "Nadia, you are the cutest and the most beautiful princess of this world. How could you be stupid and ugly?"

"I thought so!" Bobby narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"Bobby, you are so bad," said Nadia in anger as she pouted and pointed at Bobby.

"Hey, Nadia, you are really beautiful and cute. Look at this Big Bro. Since we are twins"— Bobby rubbed his little face—"and I'm so smart and handsome. How can you be stupid? How can you be ugly?"

"But that's not what you said a moment ago." Nadia was even more confused now.

Bobby was a little too mature and capricious for his age.

"Oh, didn't you say that you wanted a hug from Daddy Now Daddy is hugging you. Happy?" Bobby laughed, pleased with his masterful plan.

"Oh! I see. Bobby, you did that on purpose, didn't you?" Nadia was feeling enlightened.

"Yes. I didn't want Daddy to keep on sulking in his rooms. So I devised a small strategy." Bobby smiled and said, "Nadia, I'm sorry. Don't lose your confidence. In the future, ignore anyone who calls you ugly, stupid, or even illegitimate, regardless of who they are. Of course, after that, tell me their name. I will teach them a lesson for you."

"Well—except you—no other kid would say such hateful words!" Nadia snorted and hugged Charles tighter.

Charles gently patted Nadia's back to comfort her. "Bobby, don't make fun of your sister in the future. You two should get along with each other well, understand?"

"But... Daddy, you were angry just now. When you get angry, it makes me and Nadia unhappy and afraid, don't you know?" Bobby stopped laughing and said, replicating the same cold face as his father.

Charles was stunned. He always paid attention to his words and actions so as to not affect the children. He never thought that slamming the door in anger could also scar a child's mind. It was such a simple

move, yet it made his children unhappy and afraid.

Therefore, Bobby had no choice but to use such a strategy and force him out of the study.

The so-called original family... It turned out that bad things experienced in childhood just don't dissipate with time. They keep piling on and on until...

"I'm sorry, kids. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been angry just now. Daddy is no longer angry. I will talk with Mommy as well. Wanna play together?" In fact, after seeing the children, Charles was not angry anymore.

In this world, nothing was more important for him than being with his children.

All he wanted to see was his children grow up healthy and happy.

He decided to never expose his children to the harsh realities of life.

"Okay, Daddy," Nadia said as she gave a kiss on Charles' cheek.

"Well, Bobby, despite your reasoning, it was still improper to call your sister that. Apologize to her." Charles looked at Bobby.

"Actually, I'm not angry anymore, Daddy." Before Bobby said anything, Nadia mediated for him.

"Although you are not angry, it doesn't mean that Bobby can say that to you. He must apologize," Charles said without using a harsh tone, but his face was serious.

"Daddy, I have said sorry to Nadia. If you don't believe me, you can ask her." Bobby didn't expect that his casual words would bother Nadia. Moreover, in his opinion, it was not a big deal.

He had a good relationship with Nadia. There wouldn't be any walls between them because of this sentence. Why was Daddy being so serious?

"Just now, you indeed apologized. I heard it too, but..." After a pause, Charles continued, "Bobby, you were not sincere enough. Besides, you must tell Nadia that you will never hurt her in the future. You must give her a sense of security. You are her brother, and you have an obligation to protect her. If her own brother bullies her, then what gives him the right to lecture others when they do the same?"

"Is... Is it so serious, Daddy?" Bobby scratched his head in confusion.

Charles nodded as if it was a life-changing moment.
