The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 287

"How are you holding up, Director Nancy? You look really sad." Erin asked gently. Nancy's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Jessie lying unconsciously on the hospital bed.

Nancy merely nodded. She took her gaze from Jessie when she heard her phone buzz.

When she checked it, there was a new message. It said, "What are you doing right now, dear? Is there anything else you want me to do? Just tell me." The message was from Charles.

'If I don't reply to him, will he keep sending me messages?' Nancy thought to herself as she read it.

'When did he become so indecisive? It's really getting on my nerves.'

"Alright, Charles. Please don't text me anymore. Stop bothering me!" Nancy typed her reply but deleted it immediately. She had no time to deal with this nonsense.

"Erin, will you please reply to this message for me!" She quickly handed her phone to Erin.

"Hmm, okay. Let's see..." Erin took the phone and clicked it. "Director Nancy, what should I say?"

"I don't really care anymore. You can say anything as long as it'll make Charles stop sending messages," Nancy replied as she rolled her eyes and fixed her hair. She seemed annoyed.

"I see. Well if you're sure..." Erin turned her attention to the phone and opened the message. After she read it, she smiled and mumbled, "I didn't quite expect that Mr. Fu would say such sweet things!"

Meanwhile, Nancy was deeply distressed because of Jessie. She merely sighed and remained silent the entire time.

Even though Nancy and Charles were not a couple anymore, Erin thought that those two had still spent a lot of time together. Therefore, she couldn't just write a stiff reply.

With that in mind, she wrote to Charles, "Honey, I miss you!"

As soon as Charles read the message, he instantly felt elated. He couldn't believe that Nancy actually missed him.

"Oh honey, I miss you too." He typed and sent the message quickly. His heart was pounding a little while he waited for her reply.

When Erin read this, she bit her lips and smiled. She had an idea what to tell him next. "Honey, let's have dinner together tonight. Okay? I have been craving for barbecue lately!"

"Okay! I'll text you again later." There was a slight frown on Charles' face. Somehow, he got the feeling that the message was not really from Nancy.

But then again, who else would send him this message except for Nancy? There was no doubt that this was her number.

"Are you done, Erin? Can I have my phone back?" Nancy reached for her phone. She needed to check what Erin sent.

"Sure, Director Nancy! What do you think of my reply? Isn't it perfect?" With a smile on her face, Erin handed the phone back to Nancy. She couldn't quite contain her excitement.

When she saw the conversation, Nancy sighed and thought, 'Why did she say such things to him? Ugh.' "Okay, that's good enough," she lied. She was actually regretting her impulsive decision now.

She did ask her to reply to Charles and even told her she could write anything. But she definitely didn't ask her to please him! This was really embarrassing!

"Can I be completely honest with you? I really think that Mr. Fu is a good man. You should cherish him, Director Nancy! Don't let him down too much. If a man gets too disappointed, he will leave eventually. You don't want to lose him, do you?" Erin said timidly. She stared at Nancy's gloomy expression. She wished that the doctor would stop giving Charles a hard time.

Nancy looked at her and patted on her shoulder. "Erin, remember that love is a matter of two people. However, marriage is definitely not. There are more important things in a marriage than love. Don't be so simple-minded!" She started to walk away. "Let's go. I am scheduled to do an operation today."

She took one last look at Jessie and left. Erin stared after her and pouted her lips. Isn't it normal for a person to sacrifice oneself for someone he or she really loved?

And if two people were married without love, wouldn't the relationship be pathetic? She couldn't imagine a marriage like that.

Hours passed and Nancy's work shift was done. Finally, she could just go pick her kids up and rest.

Just as she was about to lock her office door, Nancy received a message from Charles. "Darling, where do you want to eat? I'll take you there."

Nancy was already extremely tired and cranky. For some reason, she got even more annoyed when she saw the message.

"I'm going to pick up my children, Charles. I don't want to have dinner with you. I just want to go home!" Still thinking about Jessie, Nancy was obviously not in the mood to go out for dinner.

When he received her reply, Charles was utterly stunned. He thought, 'What just happened?'
