The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 404

Charles' heart ached.

He must alleviate the distress inflicted on the children by the issue about Edward and Nancy.

"Honey, it's okay. You and Bobby are daddy's children. No one will dare to bully you because you have daddy to protect you. Be a good girl and go to sleep." Charles gently kissed Nadia's forehead.

Nadia faintly sighed.

She withdrew her hand, turned over and tried to get some sleep.

It was just a whimper, but it was enough to reveal that their classmates' remarks had affected Nadia.

And it was the children's welfare that Charles cared about the most.

He walked out of Nadia's room, and then went to Bobby's to check on him too. The boy was asleep, but his lips were pursed like his heart was heavy.

Charles tucked him in and walked out of the room.

By chance, he bumped into Edward who was coming out of his room.

"Why are you still awake?" Charles inquired.

Edward chuckled, "I couldn't sleep."

"Why not?" Charles asked.

"Why don't we go have some tea? The two of us need to talk."

Charles knew what Edward wanted to talk about. In fact, even if Edward didn't bring it up, Charles would find an opportunity to ask him.

"I didn't expect that still have the habit of drinking tea after living abroad for so many years," Charles commented in a low voice.

"Let me tell you, I have been drinking tea since I was three years old. It's a hard habit to break." Edward smiled. "Back then, when my grandfather was still alive, we lived abroad together. Whenever he drank tea, I did too. Soon enough, it became a part of my routine. My day wouldn't feel incomplete if I didn't get to drink a pot of tea."

"Your grandfather passed away?" Charles asked.

Edward looked a little sad and smiled bitterly. "Yes. Tell me, what kind of tea do you like to drink?"

"I don't know much about tea. I'll have whatever it is that you like." Charles preferred coffee, which gave him mental clarity and alertness even after a long and tiring day at work.

"How about a pot of Longjing tea?" Edward asked as he pushed the door open.

"I'll leave it up to you." Charles followed him in.

Charles was not interested in tea, so he didn't thought much about the tea room.

Of course, he had known about the room, but he'd never been there before.

It was his first time entering the tea room today.

If Charles didn't know about Edward's background, he wouldn't suspect that he had lived abroad for a long time based on the tea room's layout.

Famous Chinese paintings hung on the wall and all the furniture were also of ancient Chinese style.

Charles was preoccupied looking around the room.

Edward had been swift in preparing the tea.

"Come on, have a taste." He handed a small cup to Charles.

Charles received the cup and took a sip. "Well, it smells good."

Edward knew that Charles was well-mannered, so he didn't ask further. He just smiled faintly and said, "I have something to tell you."

"I know." Charles didn't like to play dumb. If he had something to say, he would go straight to the point so things could be settled as soon as possible.
