In order to get rid of the chatter of the family, Charles and Bobby moved in to Nancy's house.
Nancy didn't want them to move in,
but what else could she do?
First, she was too busy. Second, she also wanted to stay with Bobby.
She didn't know what would happen.
What she was sure of was, it would be difficult to be on the bad side of the Zhuang family.
If Drew got angry,
no one knew what he would do.
Just as she was thinking, she received a call from Frederic.
He wanted to meet her
by the lake near the municipal hospital.
Not bothering to change her clothes, she went to the lakeside in her white gown, which made her look more spirited and professional.
He stood under a willow with a cane and watched Nancy strode towards him indifferently.
She was too smart, which was a virtue to others' eyes, but in the eyes of the old man, it was a flaw.
Mr. Frederic..." Nancy spoke reverently.
"Call me Grandpa." He looked away. "Do you know why I wanted to see you?"
"About Charles? Grandpa, I can't do anything about it. You should go to your grandson!" Even after several attempts of breaking up with Charles, he still didn't listen. He followed her like a pain in the ass.
"Yes, I understand." Frederic looked calm. He was not forbidding and there was no antipathy in his eyes. 'Tm not here because of your relationship with Charles. I came here for you."
The mood shifted as he looked at her.
However, Nancy didn't even flinch. She bravely met his eyes and said, "You can just say it. I'm listening."
"Dorothy is the only daughter of Drew." Frederic heaved a sigh. "The wealth of the Zhuang family can't be compared with the Fu family's, but business is not predictable. We'd better not make enemies! Do you get what I mean?"
Of course, Nancy knew that.
She knew that Frederic wanted her to persuade Charles to forgive Dorothy.
"I can give it a try, but I can't guarantee that it will work." She was aware of the fact that once Charles made up his mind, it would be difficult to change.
Therefore, what she could only do was to give it a shot.
"You are very smart. As long as you put your heart into it, you will surely change his mind. Because you are the woman he loves the most."
What Frederic said caught her off guard.
If he believed that Charles loved her, why did he try every means to stop them from being together?
A lump formed in her throat with this thought, but she quickly got over it. "I will do my best.'¹
"Our lives are not as simple as you think. A small mistake can lead to a disaster. I hope you can understand my good intention," said Frederic sincerely.
Although Nancy didn't understand, she didn't ask either.
There were so many things in the business world that she didn't know.
But from what he said, even the people who came from a rich and powerful family might have their own miserable stories too.
So, she nodded respectfully.
Silently, Frederic stared at her for a few seconds. "Nancy, thank you for calling me 'Grandpa'.''
At some point, Nancy thought she saw tears formed in his eyes.
It must be an illusion.
The sadness in Frederic's eyes never left her mind, which made her restless for the whole afternoon.
To be honest, she was uncertain whether she could persuade Charles to let Dorothy off the hook.
But since she already made a promise to Frederic, she had to do it.
While she was thinking of ways to convince Charles, she heard his voice coming from the kitchen. "Don't bother Mommy. She is very tired from work. Be good!"
The children rushed to her. "Mommy! Today, Bobby gave a flower to a girl and he got scolded by the teacher." Nadia had been saying the same thing recently.
