Chapter 46 Bobby's Request
Chapter 46 Bobby's Request
Nancy sat still, feeling helpless. When had Bobby learned such tricks from his scheming father?
But no, he was Charles' flesh and blood; he had probably been born with that same scheming mind!
"Of course Daddy won't lie to you, and neither will your mommy. Well, your mommy has finally raised her head," Charles said cheerfully.
How could he not be happy after finding out how well his son knew him?
Nancy was speechless. It was true that she had raised her head, but did Charles not notice her resentful eyes?
As if reading her mind, he instructed, "Close your eyes!" Then, he gently ran his hand over her eyes.
Overwhelmed by his tender touch and pleasant smell, Nancy closed her eyes as if she was under a spell.
A moment later, she felt his cool lips press against her forehead.
"Okay, Daddy, next is the nose!"
"Got it!" Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
"Eyes."
"Next."
"Ears!"
"Done."
Every time Charles kissed her, she felt a new wave of goosebumps spread across her body.
'Dear Bobby, please end it quickly!' she prayed in her heart,
biting her lips and nervously pressing her eyes shut. If Bobby kept going like this, there was a chance that her relationship with Charles would cross a line that there was no coming back from.
"Okay, the last place to kiss is her mouth," Bobby ordered.
With a charming smile on his face, Charles gently lifted Nancy's chin with his fingertips.
"Bobby, what are you talking about?" At this moment, there was an incredulous voice coming from the other end of the line.
"Grandma, I'm teaching Daddy how to conquer Mommy," he said calmly.
"You're just a kid, Bobby. How can you teach your Daddy about women?" Angelina said with a laugh. It was only then that Bobby's words fully registered in her mind. "Mommy? Since when do you have a mommy? Are you talking about the woman who came last time? The one named Nancy? No, no way! That woman doesn't come from a good background. She can't even be compared with the daughter of the Zhuang family. Bobby, quickly put away that mobile phone. Don't be a naughty boy, give it to me, give it to me..." Angelina yelled angrily.
"No, Grandma! You can't catch up with me!"
Bobby said, laughing and running away with the phone.
"Daddy, be quick! Grandma almost caught me. Grandma, don't come here! Don't..."
"I'll be quick," Charles said on the phone. Then, looking at Nancy with a mischievous glint in his eyes, he said, "You heard what Bobby wants. He is such a sweet child. As adults, we can't let him down, can we?"
Nancy covered her mouth nervously and shook her head.
"Daddy, hurry up..." Before Bobby finished his words, there was the sound of his phone falling onto the ground, after which the call was disconnected.
"What's wrong? Did Bobby fall down?" Nancy asked worriedly.
"Never mind that. Let's finish what he told us to do first." Before she could protest, Charles put his arms around her waist and leaned in close,
but at that moment, his phone rang again.
"Charles, your phone is ringing. Is it Bobby? I'm really worried about him!" Nancy said, trying to push him away.
Although she was in Charles' arms, at this moment, all she could think about was whether Bobby was okay.
Charles finally let go of her reluctantly and chuckled. "Nancy, you really are the right woman to be Bobby's mother!"
Upon hearing this, Nancy's face became redder. What was that supposed to mean?
As far as she knew, it was natural for a woman to have maternal instincts and care for children.
Charles took out his phone with a smile, but when he saw the screen, his face became cold and impassive.
He answered the call with a slide of his finger. "Tell me, Hiram."
"Mr. Fu, I've found out the truth about Nancy's corruption scandal. Fannie was behind the whole thing! I've gotten some evidence as well. What should we do next?"
Charles sneered. "How bold the Ning family is!"
"Yeah. How could they do such a thing to their own family member? It's so cunning and cruel." With a sigh, Hiram continued, "Mr. Fu, should we take revenge on Fannie?"
"No, tit for tat is not enough! We should be a thousand times more cunning than them!" There was an almost murderous look on Charles' face; it was an expression that Nancy had never seen before.
"Yes, Mr. Fu! Should we start with the hospital?"
"Yes. But first, go and discuss this with Jay. He knows a lot more about revenge than you do. Also, remember to hand over the evidence to the police as well as President Hobart. We need the law on our side to deal with this."
For Charles, going by the law was the most important thing. That was the one line that he would never cross.
And that was also the reason why his grandfather thought so highly of him!
Only by following the law could a company develop faster, better, and farther.
"Okay, Mr. Fu. I'll keep that in mind!" With that, Hiram hung up.
Nancy, who had been listening intently to the whole conversation, finally spoke up.
"Mr. Fu..."
"Call me by my name!" Charles chided immediately.
"Oh, right. Charles, why were you talking about my family? What revenge?"
Deep down, she already had a vague idea of what must have happened, but she didn't want to admit it to herself.
After all, no matter how vicious Fannie was, she was still her sister.
Could Fannie really have done such a cruel thing to her?
"Nancy, you can't be kind to everyone you meet. Not everyone in the world is worthy of your trust and care, understand?" Then, he snapped his fingers for a waiter to come over.
He didn't want to explain too much about the issue because he didn't want her to get upset over trivial things.
As a man, he had to shield the woman he loved from such negativity.
Besides, it was a piece of cake for him to solve these problems on his own. He had just wanted to avoid discussing the details on the phone while he was in public.
"Pay the bill!" Charles took out his black card and waved at a waiter.
"Yes, Mr. Fu! The total is thirty thousand," said the waiter.
Nancy gasped in surprise as soon as she heard the number. "Why does it cost so much?"
Although she was a reputable doctor with a good salary, she had never spent thirty thousand on just one meal before!
The waiter smiled politely. "Ma'am, our hotel uses only the best ingredients. Many of them are imported actually."
"I see," Nancy said calmly, though on the inside, she still couldn't bring herself to accept how expensive the food was. Moreover, her heart ached at the sight of all the leftovers on the table. "Please help me
pack the rest of the food," she added.
"Sure," the waiter said briskly.
