The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 256

"No, marriage is not merely a form nor a transaction; it is a commitment and responsibility! When a married man cheats on his wife, he is considered to be immoral and is despised by society. Unmarried couples aren't bind by this relationship. Do you understand?" Charles was a little anxious and scolded Nancy.

"Why are you being so agitated? Anyway, I like the relationship that we currently have. But enough of that for now. It's time for dinner." After Nancy said this, she walked out of the room.

Charles sighed in frustration. 'What is it about marriage that she's afraid of? What are her apprehensions?'

He could not believe that the concept of marriage frightened her.

Charles thought about how he could stir Nancy's feelings so she would finally agree with him. He couldn't allow her to be always influenced by Doris.

Nancy already decided that she wouldn't tell Charles about Jessie asking for red envelopes from the family of patients. But that she had left the notebook on the cabinet slipped her mind.

Right after dinner, she took a shower and leaned against the bed's headboard to read.

Charles was in charge of bathing the children. He could only rest after they were settled and ready for bed. After a quick shower, Charles walked into the bedroom. Something on top of the cabinet caught his attention: the notebook from Erin.

Without thinking too much about it, he picked up the notebook and opened its pages. He saw numbers. As soon as he figured out what those numbers represented, his face started to crumple with exasperation.

"Nancy, what is this all about?" Charles said aggressively, holding the notebook in his left hand.

Nancy raised her head and asked lazily, "What's what?"

As soon as she saw the notebook, she straightened up and got out of bed. "That's mine. Give it back to me!"

She instinctively tried to take the notebook from Charles, but he was quick to grab her arm. "Nancy, please don't tell me that it was you who did this."

Without a name indicated on the notebook, it could have been owned by anyone. It might be Nancy's. It was so easy for Charles to misunderstand.

"You have known me for so long, Charles. By now you still don't know what kind of person I am?" If you think of me that way, why do you still insist on marrying me? If I was really a terrible person, would you still see me as worthy of your love?" she asked, feeling hurt and disappointed.

"I would never doubt your integrity, but how do you explain these numbers?" Charles asked in a soft voice, a little calmer now.

He knew deep within his soul that she was a decent person. Even though he had so much money, she wouldn't do anything shameful to get her hands on it.

But what was with the notebook? Why was she reacting so strongly about it?

Charles looked at her suspiciously.

Nancy exhaled, "Charles, I don't think we should suspect each other like this. We have been together for so long to have any room for doubts. We should trust each other completely, don't you agree?"

"Of course, I agree that we should trust each other. That's why if you need money, please don't hesitate to ask me for help. You don't have to bear any trouble alone. We are a family now. There should be nothing to hide. You understand that, right?" Charles said warmly.

Charles wondered whether it had something to do with Jade being in the sanatorium. But he already waived all her treatment fees. Nancy probably needed the cash for her mother's expenses or something else that she couldn't tell him about.

He stared into her eyes.

The way Charles gazed at her suspiciously made Nancy feel uncomfortable. "Are you still doubting me?"

Charles had always been somewhat indifferent. He was not easily angered. But the way that Nancy was refusing to explain what was going on was driving him mad. Infuriated, he threw the notebook at her and demanded an answer. "Nancy, you have to tell me what those numbers mean."

Nancy didn't want to hide anything from Charles, but thinking about what could happen if she did kept her from telling him the truth.

Stressed out, she put the notebook on top of the bedside table. She pulled away and lay on the bed. "I want to sleep now!"

To her surprise, Charles wouldn't let the argument go. He grabbed her, and said firmly, "No, Nancy. No one's sleeping tonight until I completely understand what's going on!"

"Charles, you're acting like a crook! If you don't plan on sleeping, please let me have mine!" Charles started to get on her nerves.

"Of course I want to sleep. But what about this issue?" Charles gritted his teeth in anger.
