Sweet Twins novel Chapter 447

Ever since Edward had left to go abroad, he had been feeling a little too lonely. He was even considering to come back to his country earlier than planned.

However, whenever he imagined having to see Nancy and Charles showing off their love, he couldn't help but feel jealous. He couldn't pour out his loneliness, neither could he find anyone to pour it onto.

For that reason, he was caught in between a dilemma.

Whenever he had nothing else to do, he would just go to the bar to drink alone.

Just two days ago, he had just met a lovely woman there. When he first saw her, Edward almost called out Nancy's name.

If only that woman hadn't worn a black dress that night, Edward would have treated her like she was Nancy.

But based on his impression, he knew that Nancy would never wear a black dress.

Despite that knowledge, Edward couldn't resist calling out for her. Cautiously, he asked, "Nancy?"

The woman raised her head and raised her goblet at him. "Sir, you seem to have mistaken me for someone else. Didn't you?"

There was a subtlety in her eyes that reminded him of Nancy.

However, it didn't seem to possess the same kind of vibrant spirit.

In a daze, Edward walked over and sat beside the pretty woman. "Hello, what's your name?"

"My name is Summer Xia." The woman had a certain mischievousness that reminded him of Nancy.

It was evident that Edward was very fond of this woman.

"Summer... Beautiful name. I like it." Edward proceeded to order a glass of whisky.

"Can I ask for your name, sir?"

"My name is Edward Wu."

"Nice to meet you, Edward," answered the woman with an endearing smile on her face.

The longer they talked, the more they realized how harmonious they were together. Without realizing it, they got drunk together.

The whole night, the woman didn't seem to want to leave and neither did Edward. So when the bar closed, Edward asked, "Miss Xia, would you like me to drive you home?"

"Yes, but I seem to have forgotten my address."

The woman didn't seem to be as reserved as Nancy. There weren't a lot of women who had the same conservative demeanor as Nancy.

Edward chuckled, but in fact, he felt a little disappointed.

However, he didn't want to give up on this woman who reminded him so much of Nancy, so he chugged down all the wine left in his goblet. He stood up and placed his arms around the woman's small waist. "Well then, since Miss Xia has forgotten her address... You should go home with me."

"I agree." After she said that, Summer Xia leaned comfortably on Edward's shoulder.

Of course, Edward couldn't refuse. He helped Summer Xia get inside his car and drove her to his home.

While the two of them were passionately making out, Edward's phone unexpectedly started ringing.

Edward instinctively reached out for his phone, but Summer Xia held his hand and said, "No..."

Her voice was flirtatious and lovely, so Edward was tempted on giving up on answering the phone immediately. However, when he noticed that it was coming from an unknown number, he thought that maybe Nancy changed her number and called him.

Of course, he still thought of Nancy first and foremost. Always.

So, Edward pushed away Summer Xia's hand and picked up the call.

As soon as he answered the phone, he heard Bobby speaking in a soft voice. "Is it you, Uncle Edward?"

"Bobby?" Upon finally hearing Bobby's voice again, Edward was ecstatic.

"It's me, Uncle Edward. I miss you." After he said that, Bobby kissed the phone several times as a form of affection.

Edward asked immediately, "Did anyone try to bully you again?"

"No one is bullying me, but..." Bobby faltered before he could finish his sentence.

"What's wrong? It isn't of Bobby's character to hesitate. What happened?" Edward asked worriedly.

"Uncle Edward, no one is bullying me. However, there is someone who is bullying mommy," said Bobby with grievance.

Edward remained silent for a few moments. The first person that he thought of was Charles.

There was no one else who would dare bully Nancy besides Charles.

He was a damned bastard in Edward's perception. He really didn't know what Nancy liked about Charles at all.

Edward knew that Charles was very qualified amongst other men, but he completely blocked off that idea upon hearing Bobby's words. It could be said that Nancy was just that important and unreplaceable to him.

His only concern was for Nancy to be all right. Whenever she wasn't doing fine, he figured that it would always be because of Charles.

In his eyes, Charles was not a good man.

"Who is it?" After lingering in his thoughts for a while, Edward finally spoke. This time, his voice sounded as fierce as a storm.

"It's... It's my great grandpa..." Bobby whimpered in fright.

"What?" Edward was lost in utter confusion. He always had a bad impression of Frederic, but also, there was no reason for such an old man to be bullying Nancy.

"Where is your daddy? Where did he go? Isn't he protecting your mommy?" Edward asked consecutively.

"Daddy has already left the TS Group for mommy," said Bobby, as he was about to burst into tears.

"What?" Edward was completely bewildered from news he had just heard. He had only left for a few days, but it seemed as though so many things had just happened to Charles.

"He left the TS Group for your mommy? What happened?" Edward felt a little bit of guilt in his heart as he had completely misunderstood Charles earlier. Of course, Charles was a good man and there was no reason for him to doubt that.

He thoroughly pondered on what could have possibly happened and tried to understand why Frederic would kick Charles out of the TS Group.

"Because... Great grandpa thinks that you and mommy... Daddy really wants to get married with mommy but great grandpa really doesn't allow it. Daddy got so angry that he left the TS Group completely," explained Bobby with traces of nervousness in his voice.

"So are you telling me that because of the rumor between me and your mommy, your great grandpa doesn't want to allow your mommy and daddy to get married? Is that the case?" A dark shadow cast on Edward's voice and his voice became cold and stern. He shoved away the woman who was sitting beside him.

"I don't fully understand, but it seems to be the case," said Bobby.

Edward nodded and explained, "I see. It seems that your great grandpa is really a stubborn man. I have already sent him the proof, and yet he continues to cause trouble with your mommy. He... he's too unreasonable!"

"Yes, great grandpa is so unreasonable!" Bobby exclaimed.

"Okay, I know what to do. Bobby, you're a little man now. I want you to take good care of your mommy and focus on studying hard, okay?" Edward instructed Bobby.

"I will. Goodbye, Uncle Edward."

"Bye." Edward ended the call.

"Who is that child? What's your relationship with the boy?" Summer Xia asked curiously.

"He's my child. What else do you think it is?" Edward was furious from what he had just heard, so when he spoke to her again, he was now brusque and distant.

Summer Xia's facial reaction shifted drastically. Her face, which had already gotten red from all the alcohol, turned even redder than it was before.

"So, you have a wife and a child? Did your wife run away with another man?" Summer Xia was in utter confusion and completely misunderstood him as she wasn't able to clearly hear the conversation between Edward and Bobby. She couldn't seem to grasp Edward's relationship with the boy at all.

Now, when she heard Edward's unapologetic words, she couldn't help but feel disappointed and upset.

"Yes, you're right. Someone had taken my wife away. Do you think now that I am inadequate? You can leave now. Go!" Edward was just annoyed, so he simply opened the door and gestured for her to leave.

Summer Xia held her clothes in her arms and ran off as she burst into tears.
