Sweet Twins novel Chapter 430

"I can convey your conditions to Charles, but as for letting him go back to work, you need to tell him personally." Nancy paused. "It's not appropriate for me to tell him about it."

"Why are you making things difficult for me?" Frederic raised his eyebrows and his blood began boiling again.

"No." Nancy thought for a while and said, "Charles is so hard-headed and you know that. Since he chose to leave the TS Group, how could he go back to work just because I told him to? You know your grandson better than me. Mr. Fu, if I ask Charles to go back, I don't think he'll listen. It will only make him more resistant, right?"

"Father, Nancy is right!" Angelina persuaded in a low voice, "You know Charles is so stubborn and he won't compromise easily. He won't come back just because Nancy says he can."

Frederic closed his eyes in frustration. He was so annoyed but he had to accept that they were right.

Why did they have to deliberately embarrass him?

But on the other hand, Charles' stubbornness was really the problem here. It was making this a lot more difficult than it needed to be.

Why did he hate Charles with such a passion?

In truth, Frederic felt a little bit of regret.

"Well, Nancy, you can go back now and figure out what happened to Derrick. Remember, don't team up with Charles to lie to me otherwise you know what will happen," Frederic threatened.

Nancy shrugged. "Okay, I see." Then she glanced at her watch and said, "I'm off duty now. If there's nothing else, I think I should go back."

Frederic snorted and looked away, saying nothing.

"Let's go," said Angelina. Angelina was overjoyed. Everything seemed to be going according to plan.

When Nancy exited, she felt a surge of pain in her stomach. She hunched over, clutching her tummy.

She wasn't used to the pain being so intense. It was the first time that it shook her to her core.

Even with this pain, the only thing she could think was that she couldn't believe that Frederic was so unreasonable.

On the way home, Nancy really wanted to call Charles to tell him what Frederic had said.

Would Charles be disappointed though?

He couldn't marry her after all.

She guessed that he wouldn't exactly be thrilled. Nancy was caught in two minds.

On the one hand, she hoped that she would always be the apple of Charles' eye.

On the other hand, she also hoped that Charles wouldn't give up the TS Group because of her.

Nancy had this mental battle all the way home.

When she arrived home, Charles wasn't there. He must have gone to pick up the kids.

After parking the car, Nancy walked into the villa.

She thought of when Charles walked in carrying a box the day he left the TS Group. What was in the box?

Nancy walked upstairs and went straight to Edward's study.

She assumed that he would have left the box there.

It was so big that the only place he could have left it was in the study.

Nancy opened the door of the study and turned the light on. At a first glance, the box was nowhere in sight.

What? Did Charles hide it?

She paced around the study and saw the corner of the box sticking out under the bookshelf. As expected, Charles hid it deliberately so she wouldn't see it?

What was the big secret behind this box?

Nancy pulled it out and opened it.

In addition to the basic economic books, the rest were the children's photos and all kinds of books he had bought for them.

What really caught her eye was a portrait of herself.

It was a simple and rough portrait.

It looked like Charles drew it. How bored he was! Now that the two of them were together, why did he draw her?

Nancy studied the portrait carefully. She realized that something was wrong.

This was what she looked like when she was pregnant, and the background...

Yes, this portrait was Charles' imitation of her unfinished drawing.

It turned out that he had drawn it a long time ago, but he didn't tell her. He was waiting for her to tell him the truth voluntarily.

Nancy's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that Charles had already known everything.

But he still forced her to finish the portrait by herself.

She suddenly heard the sound of car in the courtyard. Nancy quickly put the painting back in its original place and put the box back under the bookshelf.

She rubbed her eyes and pretended that she didn't know any of this.

She rushed downstairs and saw Charles and the children coming in together.

"Wow, Mommy, we had a good time today. Did you have a good day? Are you happy too?" Nadia asked excitedly.

"Yes, Mommy is very happy." Nancy glanced at Charles and said affectionately to Nadia.

Charles smiled warmly.

There was no hint of anything being wrong in their perfect little world.

"So emotional," Bobby said in disgust.

Nadia stuck out her tongue at Bobby and pulled a face.

"Mommy, I'm hungry. What did you cook?" Bobby rubbed his belly and asked.

Nancy was in the study since she got home. She hadn't made anything yet.

"I'm going to cook now. I just came back," said Nancy apologetically.

"Oh. Okay." Bobby narrowed his eyes and smiled and all of a sudden, he looked exactly like Charles. "Mommy, Daddy said that you agreed to his proposal, and Daddy also said that he was going to marry you soon. Are you happy?"

"Well..." Embarrassed, Nancy bit her lip.

Her lack of enthusiasm made Bobby nervous. He frowned and asked unhappily, "Mommy, what's wrong? Don't change your mind!"

Nancy said hurriedly, "No, Mommy has just been really busy recently. I'm just distracted. Recently, a child was rushed to our department. He had serious foot abnormalities and needed an operation as soon as possible. I haven't finished the operation plan yet, so mine and Daddy's marriage may have to be put on hold for a few days."

Bobby's face dropped and he said, "Mommy is lying again?"

"No, Mommy is really busy," said Nancy helplessly.

"Mommy, our teacher said that children who lie are not good children." Nadia hated the constant back and forth. It made her so anxious, she was about to cry.

"Nadia, I'm sorry." Nancy was also sad. She also wanted to marry Charles, but Frederic deliberately made things difficult for her. What could she do?

She couldn't be too selfish. She couldn't just marry him and disregard everything else.

If Frederic died from all this stress, wouldn't she then be held accountable?

"Mommy, I don't want you to say sorry. I just want you to be with Daddy and we can all be happy together," Nadia said in a low spirit, clutching onto Nancy's hands.

"Yes, we all will live happily together." Tears welled up in Nancy's eyes.

The kids never really asked for much, but this was just a promise that was going to take a while to deliver.
