The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 352

Edward hadn't seen Nancy for two days now. And the longer he couldn't get through to her, the more anxious he got.

The only person he could contact right now was Charles, but to his surprise, the man did not answer when he tried reaching him.

"Uncle Edward, where is mommy?" the kids, who also had no idea of what happened, asked with evident worry.

Nancy would never disappear for so long without letting Bobby and Nadia know where she was going. And now that they couldn't contact her, the children were even more nervous.

Massaging his nape, Edward was lost for words. He couldn't tell the kids that their mother was missing, and even that thought of that possibility sent shivers down his spine.

So instead, he scoured for an excuse and said, "Your daddy and mommy must have gone on a trip. I can't contact them, so you two just stay here."

"Uncle Edward, shouldn't daddy and mommy go on a trip after they get married? But why did they leave even before the wedding? Also, why did they leave Nadia and me?" As a child with sharp senses, Bobby would always be the first to know if there anything terrible hah happened to their parents.

So when the boy directly asked those questions, Edward immediately knew that the Bobby had caught on to something. Perhaps nothing terrible happened to them. After all, there was no news about Charles and

Nancy circulating the media right now.

But why didn't they answer his call? If they were enjoying a trip somewhere else, they would have responded to his call, knowing that the kids were with him. Weren't they worried about Bobby and Nadia?

"Maybe your daddy and mommy are too busy preparing their wedding. Don't worry, I'm sure they will call once they find the time." Edward could only try his best to come up with an excuse. In fact, even he did not believe what he said either.

"Uncle Edward, do you think daddy will hurt mommy?" Nadia, who was more innocent than her brother, asked worriedly.

"Your daddy loves your mommy very much, and I'm sure he will never hurt her. Come on! It's time to go to bed. You still have to go to kindergarten tomorrow!" In an attempt to coax the two children, Edward changed the topic.

And even though Bobby nodded in acknowledgment, doubts still clouded his young mind.

At the same time, in Joseph's villa, Derrick leisurely walked in the garden.

Both his hands were clasped behind him while he surveyed the plants.

As soon as Joseph arrived at the mansion and got out of his car, he strode towards his father.

"Dad, grandpa doesn't know you're back yet. Aren't you going to see him?"

"It's not the right time yet. If I purposely don’t visit him for days, I’m sure he’ll beg to see me. So, don't say anything to them. You treat them as your family, but they only see you as an enemy!" Derrick sneered at his son.

"Dad, I'm not a fool. I know what I should and shouldn't say!” The ever doting son that Joseph was flashed his father a reassuring smile.

The latter, who still had his hands clasped on his back, turned to gaze at his son and queried, "Did you see Charles tonight?"

"Ah-huh, I did," Joseph answered, recalling the family dinner Frederic had organized.

Charles had already sat at the table, reading a newspaper leisurely when Joseph arrived.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Joseph's lips curved into a smile as he asked that.

"The news. Do you want to read it?" Although Charles answered casually, he didn't bother to even gaze at his cousin and instead kept his eyes fixed on the newspaper.

"Brother, you know I'm only interested in beautiful women and not gossips on the newspaper," Joseph uttered with a grin and sat across his cousin. Then, after surveying the table, he asked, "I don’t see Nancy and the kids. Where are they?"

"Why? Do you miss them?" Still not paying attention to his cousin, Charles flipped the newspaper and continued reading.

"Well, of course, I miss them. I haven't seen them in a while." Evidently, the silly bachelor was trying to tease Charles. The latter had always been so stern and distant, and he figured messing up with him would make things somehow lighter. So, he added, "I have a lot of women around me, but I don’t have time to miss them like I do with your kids."

"They don't need you to care for them. Just think about yourself. Don't you have any plans to get married?" At this time, Frederic approached the table while tightly leaning on his crutch for support.

After shortly glancing at their authoritative grandfather,

Joseph shrugged and smiled, "No."

Suddenly, Charles put down the newspaper, revealing his well-sculpted handsome face clearly. And with indifferent pair of eyes, he glanced at his cousin.

"Joseph, do you know Edward Wu?" After learning that Edward had lived overseas for some time—at the same city where Joseph used to reside—he figured that the two must have known each other or even at least acquainted.
