Sweet Twins

Chapter 630 Alienation

It was not until Nana was tired and lay down on the bed that Nancy left quietly.

Therefore, it was already very late when she walked out of the in-patient department.

The first thing she did when she went out was call Charles to ask about Nadia, but his phone was still powered off.

"What is this man doing?" After dialing his number several times, Nancy finally gave up and went to her car.

Because she was really worried about Nadia, she drove straight to Charles’ house even if she hadn’t notified him.

The gate was open when she arrived at the villa, so she just drove in directly.

At this time, the villa was still brightly lit, so Nancy had assumed that the children hadn't gone to bed yet.

Since Charles was already familiar with the sound of her car, he was certain that the person who just arrived was Nancy.

His hands trembled, but he was not sure if it was out of anger or excitement. Either way, Charles hurried washing the dishes so he could come out of the kitchen.

‘Nancy is here. She finally came!’

"Bobby, it's Mommy. Oh, that's great. Mommy is here!" As soon as Nadia heard the sound of the car, she stood on tiptoe and looked out of the window. When she saw Nancy get out of the car, she danced happily.

"Be careful. Don't fall down." Even Bobby was happy with his mother’s arrival, but he had to warn Nadia for being too excited. She just came out of the hospital, and if she fell down, she would have to go back there.

"I know, Bobby. I'm going to see Mommy. You don't know how much I missed her when I was in the hospital today." Then she went out of the bedroom while shouting.

As soon as Nadia came downstairs, she saw Nancy come in.

"Mommy!" With her little arms wide open, Nadia ran over. She was running too fast, so she almost fell down.

Fortunately, Nancy was quick to hold her. "Slow down, Nadia. Are you feeling better now?"

Nadia nodded her head vigorously and said, "Mommy, I'm better now. But the doctor said I can't eat anything today, so I can only drink some water. From tomorrow morning, I can eat again, but not too much."

There was grievance in her voice as she spoke.

"Okay, Nadia, listen to the doctor." With a smile, Nancy rubbed Nadia's hair.

"Mommy, did you just finish the operation? How is the little child?" Thinking that Nancy really performed a long and tiring operation, Nadia couldn’t help but worry. If it took so much time for Nancy to finish it, then it must have been too complicated, right?

A while ago, Erin had told her that Nadia came to look for her, so she guessed that this was the lie Charles and Erin had said to comfort Nadia.

Guilt suddenly crept into her as she looked at Nadia's concerned eyes. "I'm sorry, Nadia. I was too busy to stay with you today. Don't be mad at me, okay?"

"I'm not mad at you, Mommy, because I know that you didn't accompany me in order to perform an operation to a kid. Daddy said that we all have to support Mommy's work. Besides, my teacher and the other kids told me that doctor was a sacred profession. I'm very proud. My mommy is a doctor." As she spoke, Nadia’s eyes shined, and her lips formed into a smile that could light up the world.

However, Nadia's words only made Nancy feel more guilty. Her heart ached a little as she stared at her daughter. "Thank you, Nadia."

"Mommy had a whole day's surgery. It's exhausting. Nadia, come down." Charles, who just walked out, heard all the conversation between Nancy and Nadia.

"Yes, Mommy is very tired. Nadia doesn't want Mommy to hold me." After saying that, Nadia slipped down from Nancy.

It was only then that Nancy had clearly seen Charles’ cold eyes.

"Today, I was... very busy..." Since Nancy couldn't explain, she decided not to. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

"It seems that everyone knows that you are busy. Have you had dinner now?" His voice was not loud, but gloomy.

A gust of cold wind blew into Nancy's back, making her shiver a little.

"Not yet. I just came to see Nadia..."

Before Nancy could even finish her words, Charles interrupted her. "You mean you will leave after seeing her, or you want to leave with Nadia? Or you want to take the kids with you?"

"I'm not here to argue with you. The kids are all here. Please don't be so sharp tongued, okay?" To lighten up the mood, Nancy smiled at Nadia who was watching them.

It was true that she didn't come here to quarrel with Charles. All she wanted was to check if her daughter was okay, so his sarcastic remarks made her want to leave.

"Sharp? Well, I like this word." His eyes turned to the kids. "Kids, your Mommy is here. Do you want her to stay or do you want to go with her?"

As Bobby walked down the stairs, he said, "Mommy, it's already late, and Nadia is still not feeling well. Can you stay here?"

What Bobby said made Nadia excited, so she shook Nancy’s arm. "Yes, Mommy. You haven't had dinner yet. Let Daddy make dinner for you, okay?"

"Didn't you say last night that the food your Daddy prepared was terrible? Why did you suddenly change your mind?" Obviously, she was teasing the children. She almost burst into laughter when she saw their eyes widened.

But Nadia quickly fixed her expression and said, "Yes, Daddy didn't cook well yesterday, but today's dinner is very delicious. Mommy can have a taste."

With a sigh, Bobby shook his head. "Nadia, you haven't had dinner cooked by Dad, have you?"

Hearing this instantly made Nadia blush in embarrassment. "Yes, I didn't eat, but I smelled it. You have eaten. Do you think Daddy cooked a good meal tonight?"

Bobby couldn’t help but grin with her question.

To be honest, his father didn't cook well today. The dishes looked appetizing, but it all tasted different from what Charles cooked before.

However, in order to make his mother stay, Bobby had to bite the bullet. "Yes, it's delicious."

"Mommy, stay here. Don't leave," Nadia said in a soft voice.

At this moment, Charles was still staring at Nancy. He was also waiting for her decision.

"Mommy, Nadia is a patient today. She asked you to stay, so you have to stay." The way Bobby said these words was as if he was an adult demanding to a doctor.

Looking at her children, Nancy sighed.

"I think we should have a talk, Nancy." Finally, Charles decided to speak.

His voice was so cold, so he must be referring to the matter between her and Rick.

"Actually, Rick and I..." At first, Nancy wanted to explain about her relationship with Rick, but she suddenly wondered why she had to explain to Charles.

Why should she bother to explain when she was just a woman trapped by him? She didn't have any title, did she?

Therefore, she kept silent.

"I'm not interested in your relationship with Rick." Contrary to what he had said, Charles felt his anger rise in his heart.

To hide it, he turned around and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles with chopped green onion for Nancy, which he learned from her.

"Thank you." Today was a busy day for Nancy, so she was naturally exhausted. She didn’t have a heart to refuse a bowl of warm noodles.

Hearing Nancy's polite words and seeing her alienation, Charles felt very uncomfortable.

But then he chose to say nothing, and just watched Nancy sit at the table.

"It feels really nice to have both Daddy and Mommy with me." At this moment, Nadia didn’t care even if her mother only came here because she was sick. She was overjoyed to be in the same house with her whole family again.

With a smile, Bobby echoed, "Yes. I also like this feeling."

So did Charles.

Only when Nancy and the children were at home would they look like a family.

Since Nancy was here, Charles would take the opportunity to talk to her.

Nancy had been silent all the time.

After dinner, she went to find clean clothes for the kids and put them on the bedside table like she always did when she was here.

No matter where she went, Charles would follow her.

The children also followed her, twittering like two happy birds.
