The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 329

Charles knew that Angelina and Christine had schemed together to trick him.

So when the news broke out, Charles was in no way bothered or agitated. In fact, he didn't care at all.

However, much to his surprise, Nancy was the one who got distressed upon hearing the issue.

How could she be bothered by such nonsense? Didn’t she trust Charles?

Otherwise, she wouldn't be this jealous, much like how he was because of Edward.

But because Charles was quick to explain his side, he was able to tame the anger that was slowly building up in Nancy.

"I believe you this time!" she muttered, handing the chopsticks over to him as Charles requested.

"That’s better! If we want to make our relationship stronger, we should always trust each other, Nancy!"

Although Charles was a jealous man, it was not because he did not trust Nancy, but because he didn't trust those men around her. So, when he said those heart-warming words, he actually meant it.

At the sudden thought of it, Nancy felt a pair of comforting hands wrapping her heart. However, it didn’t last and eventually faded away as she thought of Angelina.

"As for my mother's attitude towards you, I will handle it, okay? Don't worry about that anymore,"

Charles reminded, piercing her with his pair of soft almond-shaped eyes.

Even though Nancy nodded for assurance, deep down, she was not very confident of facing his mother.

She knew Angelina too well! The old woman was not only strict but also impossible to please. More than that, she had always resented Nancy from the very moment she got involved with Charles.

And now, it seemed that she didn't like Nadia either.

Even if Nancy were to confess the truth, Angelina would never change her hostility to her. It was just impossible!

"Your mother likes Christine for you, doesn't she?" Nancy asked again. This time, she lowered her head in an attempt to hide her oozing jealousy.

However, the glint of sadness evident in her eyes did not escape Charles' eyes. So he held her hand and consoled, "Even if my mother likes her, it doesn't mean anything. I won't let her come between us, Nancy."

Somehow, Charles' tender voice and comforting words reassured her, making her raise her head and nod at him.

At the same time, in the Fu family's house.

Hardy leaned against the headboard with a newspaper in his hand. As his eyes searched through the pages, he found the transcribed interview of Angelina and Christine.

"Angelina, I'm afraid you can't do this. You know Charles won't listen to you. I think it’s best if we just leave him alone, okay?" he muttered sulkily at his wife.

However, the stubborn woman—to whom Charles clearly took after—contorted her face into a grimace. "I don't like Nancy. I just can't accept her to be our daughter-in-law! We can't let him do whatever he wants! I'm his mother and he needs my permission to get married!" Her voice was coated in sheer disdain as she spat those words.

"Well then, what are you going to do? Because I think your hard-headed son would not listen." Helpless, Hardy could only heave a deep sigh as he asked his wife.

"Nancy is a stubborn girl. Even if I bribe her with money, she won't take it. Maybe I can use Clark or Jill and bribe them instead! What do you think? Those money-hungry mongrels will probably help us!"

"And then what?" Obviously, Hardy didn't like where his wife's plan was going. Now that it involved Nancy's father and stepmother, Angelina was evidently becoming more treacherous.

"Then..." the woman trailed. Then, slowly, a sinister smile crept on her lips before she stated, "Then, it's none of your business! I can do it myself."

On the other hand, Clark had been recently pursued by creditors, who had been giving him a hard time.

Caspar and his terrible management had buried the Ning family into loads of debts. The amount had piled up over time, and everyone in their family was in utter distraught thinking about how to repay all of it.

However, there was nothing much she could do.

Last time, Fannie even resorted to abducting Nancy to get some money from Charles.

As it turned out, Charles simply took Nancy away without giving her a cent. Now, she didn't even get a chance to even see Nancy.

But even if Nancy wanted to get rid of her family, she still carried the same surname as Fannie's.

So how could she possibly turn away from her own blood?
