Chapter 615 Insomnia

Nancy was so angry that she didn't call Charles. She decided to turn off her phone and go to sleep.

But to her surprise, not long after she lay down, she heard a gentle knock on the door.

Who else could it be except Charles?

Couldn't he give her a call? Why did he have knock at the door at this time?

Where was the doorbell?

Right. Nancy remembered that the doorbell was broken. But couldn’t he call her to avoid disturbing her neighbors?

Nevertheless, she didn't care about Charles anymore. So she covered her head with a quilt and let him knock until he got tired.

As much as Charles wanted to call Nancy, he had left his phone at home when he was in a rush to find the children. He thought Nancy would open the door for him right away. But he didn't expect that there would be no response from Nancy even after he had knocked for several times.

Did she fall asleep already? That fast? NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

"Sir, it's already half past eleven. Could you please stop knocking at the door?" The old lady living opposite to Nancy's unit was suffering from insomnia, so hearing the simultaneous knocks on the door made it more difficult for her to fall asleep.

It was as if her heart was beating too fast.

When she couldn't bear it anymore, she opened the door and looked at Charles as is he was an enemy.

Charles shrugged and said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I won't knock again."

With a nod, the old lady closed the door.

Left without a choice, Charles sat down and leaned against Nancy's door.

What else could he do?

The taxi driver had left, and he might have a hard time finding a taxi at this time.

Besides, what if Nancy opened the door for him?

The day had been rough for Charles, so it was understandable how exhausted he was by now. Therefore, when he closed his eyes, he immediately dozed off.

The noise had stopped, so Nancy thought Charles had already left.

‘He just left like this?’

How could he leave without getting any news about the kids?

Although it was Nancy who didn't open the door in time, she still couldn't help but complain that Charles had left.

Even after tossing and turning on her bed, Nancy still couldn't fall asleep. In the end, she got up and ran to the window; only to be disappointed when she didn't see Charles' car.

Biting her lips, Nancy crept to the door. She looked through the peephole and saw two long legs.

‘He didn't leave?’

Was he going to sleep like this until the next morning?

But if she opened the door for him, he would definitely stay at her home and never leave, wouldn't he?

After thinking for a while, Nancy made up her mind.

There was no way she would let Charles in, so she went back to the bedroom.

Time passed by quietly, and Nancy was still awake. She listened carefully, but Charles really didn't knock again.

'Forget it. Maybe Charles will leave after sitting for a while. I'd better not worry about him.'

With this thought, Nancy fell asleep.

On the next day, Nancy woke up in a daze. The first thing she did was run to the door to see if Charles was still there.

But she didn’t see his two long legs again from the peephole.

Slowly, Nancy opened the door and saw that Charles was really gone.

Finally, Charles left.

Maybe he got tired from his position last night so he went home.

Expecting that Charles would let her know that he came here, Nancy hurriedly turned on her phone.

However, she didn't get a text message or missed call from Charles. None at all!

Somehow, Nancy felt a little disappointed. But she shrugged it off and went to the bathroom to wash her hands before preparing breakfast for the kids.

While Nancy was preparing breakfast, Bobby was still sleeping soundly. He didn't care what his father would do at home alone, so didn't think too much last night.

On the contrary, Nadia didn't sleep well last night. She was thinking if their father would miss them now that he was alone.

Would their Daddy search the whole city for them?

As soon as she woke up the next morning, Nadia ran to Bobby's room and whispered, "Bobby, wake up. I dreamed that Daddy couldn't find us last night..."

Without opening his eyes, Bobby replied, "Hey, Nadia, don't you feel annoyed? Daddy is very powerful. Why can't he find us? I bet he knows we’re here. Don't worry, okay?"

"But Daddy didn't come. If Daddy knew that we were looking for Mommy, he would definitely come to see Mommy, but he didn’t." Sadness flashed through Nadia’s eyes.

"Well, Daddy doesn't want us anymore, okay? Let's just follow Mommy from now on!" Bobby continued.

What he said made Nadia angry. She crossed her arms against her chest, and glared at him. "Bobby, don’t you want Daddy anymore?"

"It doesn't matter whether we want Daddy not. But does Mommy want Daddy? Go to Mommy first. I still want to sleep for a while." Not wanting to get up, Bobby turned his back against Nadia.

With a sigh, Nadia walked out of Bobby’s room.

When she saw that Nancy was busy in the kitchen, Nadia went to her mother's bedroom.

She picked up the phone from the bedside table and dialed Charles' number.

The phone rang, but Charles didn’t pick it up.

Nadia called him many times, but Charles still didn’t answer her call, which made her worry. Her hands trembled as she nervously waited for Charles to speak on the other line.

"Where is Daddy? Was he taken away by a bad guy?"

The more Nadia thought about it, the more scared she became. She ran to the kitchen with Nancy's phone in her hand.

"Mommy! Daddy must have been taken away by a bad guy. He’s not answering my call!"

While putting the fried egg on the plate, Nancy looked back at Nadia. "Nadia, Mommy is cooking. Let's talk about it later."

Hearing this made Nadia furious. She held up the phone in front of Nancy and shouted, "No, Mommy, Daddy is missing! How can we talk about it later? We have to talk about it now."

Surprised with her sudden outburst, Nancy stopped what she was doing. "Nadia, what are you trying to say?"

"I said Daddy is missing. What should we do?"

"Just because your Daddy didn't answer your phone doesn't mean he's missing. Maybe he's asleep so he didn't hear his phone ring. Or maybe he's out of his room without the phone in his hand. Nadia, there are many reasons why Daddy couldn't answer your call. But your Daddy is not a child anymore. He won't disappear for no reason. Don't think too much, okay? Now get dressed, wash your hands and have breakfast." As Nancy spoke, she gently rubbed Nadia's messy hair.

To stop herself from crying, Nadia blinked her big dough eyes.

"Mommy is also not a child, but you were taken away by bad guys, weren't you?"

What she said took Nancy by surprise.

It also made sense, so Nancy was a little speechless.

But how could a powerful man like Charles be taken away by the bad guys?

Moreover, she was certain that no one in this city would dare to abduct him.

Thinking of this, Nancy felt relieved. "Nadia, Mommy is a woman, and Daddy is a man. I mean, Daddy is more powerful than me. Bad guys wouldn’t dare to take Daddy away, understand?"

"If Daddy is so powerful, then why doesn't Mommy want Daddy?" Her little voice was full of grievance.

"No, no, no. Mommy didn't abandon Daddy. We just have a little misunderstanding. There's a problem, and we need to solve it. Mommy and Daddy haven't come up with a solution yet, so we need some time to think of a way to solve it. That's all. Nadia, do you understand?" Nancy explained patiently.
