Step by step, Charles walked over and held her in his arms. "Nancy, what do you think of my plan?"
He whispered something in her ears, but she shook her head. "Charles, no, I don't think we are
destined to be together. Don't make things more difficult. Your grandfather is right. Derrick is in jail
because of me. If I get married with you secretly, I won't be able to face Frederic."
"Nancy, what else do you want me to do?" What Charles was thinking was to get marriage certificates
with Nancy first and then hold the wedding without informing his grandfather.
But for Nancy, it was too shameful. She was so confident when she made a promise in front of
Frederic. How could she break it?
Just as the two of them were arguing, Charles' phone rang again.
When Charles didn't move, Nancy took his phone, only to smile bitterly when she saw the name on the
screen. "It's your grandfather. He must have known that I'm here."
Clenching his jaw, Charles took the phone from her hand, but he only stared at it as it rang.
"Charles, just accept our fate. Even if you don't answer the phone, you still can't escape the fact that
your grandfather doesn't approve of me. The sooner you accept it, the better. That's it." A glimpse of
sadness crossed Nancy's eyes when she turned around. "I'm getting better at toasting bread. Oh, by
the way, thank you for the times you've cooked for me and took care of me. But I think we should really
end everything this time. As for the children, I will go to the kindergarten to pick them up. I hope you
won't forbid me for doing that."
"Nancy, are you dreaming?" With a sneer, Charles added, "You know I won't let you go. Don't push it,
okay?"
Nancy just shrugged and smiled bitterly.
"Daddy, Mommy, you two must be fine. Don't quarrel, okay?" Seeing that their parents were about to
start another argument, Nadia interrupted them in a hurry.
The two looked at their cute little daughter who had a serious look on her face, but neither of them
spoke. Nancy just walked passed Charles and put the breakfast on the table. "Come on, kids. Let's
have breakfast now."
On the other hand, Charles walked to towards the sink to wash his hands. After that, he sat at the
table, looking absent-minded.
It was Nancy's first day to work at Rick's hospital, so she didn't want to be late.
"Kids, who do you want to take you to school? Me or your daddy?"
"We want Daddy and Mommy to take us to school together," the two kids answered in unison.
"Mommy is very busy today. How about this? Daddy will drive you to school this morning and Mommy
will pick you up this afternoon. How does that sound?" Everyone knew that a child strengthened the
connection between a man and a woman. That was why Nancy and Charles couldn't be broken up
completely. On the other hand, she didn't want to hurt the children because of their relationship.
The kids needed their father's love and their mother's love.
Therefore, she couldn't be absent in their lives as they grew up. She couldn't take away the children's
right to have parents who would guide them.
"No." Disappointed, Nadia shook her head.
In the middle of their conversation, they heard a car stop in the courtyard.
"Who is that?" Charles asked.
"The servants?" Nancy answered casually.
"It doesn't sound like it." As if on cue, several people rushed in without a warning.
They were all Frederic's bodyguards. They had been in the Fu family for many years, so Charles easily
recognized them.
"What are you doing here?" To be honest, Charles already had a guess why these people came here.
"Good morning, Mr. Fu. Your grandfather asked us to take this woman away." They bowed politely at
Charles, and then looked at Nancy coldly. "Ma'am, do you remember what you promised? Are you
going to break your promise?"
"You're talking nonsense. She's my mommy. We love her very much. You go, all of you!" Hearing this,
Bobby and Nadia stood in front of Nancy angrily, and waved their little hands to hit the bodyguards.
"I know she is your mommy, but don't forget that we can't disobey your great-grandpa." The leader
turned to Charles again to give him a warning. "Sir, your grandfather is in poor health. I hope you can
be more patient and don't provoke him again."
Not wanting to make things difficult for anyone, Charles sighed. "Well, you can go back and tell him that
you've been here." No matter how annoyed he was, Charles knew for a fact that the bodyguards could
only listen to his grandfather.
"Ma'am, please behave yourself. We don't want to come here again. Do you understand?" The guards
didn't dare to take Nancy by force.
After all, they had to show respect to Charles.
"You can leave now. Go back and tell Mr. Fu that I just came to see my children. I just happened to
meet Charles last night. Nothing's going on between me and Charles." As she said this, Nancy felt her
heart sink.
It was obvious how much Frederic despised her now. He was probably thinking that she was a woman
who couldn't keep her words.
But how could she be willing to do that? She couldn't just abandon her children. They meant everything
to her. Without them, her life would become meaningless.
"Ma'am, you must keep your word." After saying this, all the guards left.
"You bad guys, go back and tell Great-grandpa that we won't let Mommy leave!" Pointing her finger at
their backs, Nadia shouted.
"Nancy, you really didn't have to talk to them," Charles said.
"I can ignore the, as your grandfather regards me as a shameless woman. But you are different. You
can't disobey him. After all, you are the CEO of TS Group now. Your grandfather is very powerful in the
group, so you can't do everything according at your will. Besides, he's your family. You can't disobey
his decision. What are we still insisting on?"
"Yes, you are right. But that's not the only reason. More importantly..." There was something Charles
wanted to say, but he couldn't.
The truth was, Nancy's safety was his main concern. With his grandpa's power, it would be easy to
make her disappear from the world if he wanted to.
This was what he was afraid of most.
"What's more important?" A sad smile appeared on Nancy's face.
For a moment, Charles stared at her, but didn't reply. "Let's go, kids. I'll drive you to the kindergarten."
"What about Mommy?" Bobby asked unwillingly.
"I'm going to work. I am very busy today." At this point, she should avoid being seen together with
Charles. If it reached Frederic again, he might really take away the kids from her.
"Okay, bye, Mommy. Don't forget to pick us up later. Tears welled up in Nadia's eyes. She was scared
that her mother wouldn't come.
"Yes. Don't cry. I won't forget it."
"Let me drive you work, okay?" Charles asked.
"No, thanks. I think it's better for me to take a taxi." After taking a deep breath, Nancy added, "We really
can't see each other now, Charles. It's not good for everyone."
Not knowing what to say, Charles only sighed.
