"Bobby, listen to me. You're Nadia's big brother, so you wait for now. Nadia will take her bath first, then I'll call you in and bathe you after her. Nadia won't take much time to take her shower, Okay?" Nancy said to Bobby in a low voice.
"Okay, fine!" Bobby huffed and reluctantly agreed to Nancy's request.
After taking the shower, they stuck with Nancy and continued to chat and laugh together.
Meanwhile, Charles was restless in his room. He was scowling whenever the sound of their laughter was entering his ears. He was annoyed by the fact that while they were happy playing in the other room, he was there sitting alone and frowning. The more their laughter flew in, the more annoyed he was getting.
A while later of pacing back and forth restlessly in his room, he decided to take a shower. Charles didn't want to take his shower alone but there was no way he could express his desire to anyone. It was making him scowl even more. After taking the shower he waited quite long for Nancy to come over, but that never happened. Instead, the children laughed and shouted cheerfully even more making Charles more annoyed. It seemed like they have planned on making Nancy stay with them tonight so that Charles would have to sleep alone. At one point his patience broke for waiting too long and he lay alone. But even sleep seemed to betray him tonight. All he did was tossing and turning on the bed restlessly.
It felt as if the bed bugs were crawling all over his body.
Charles was greatly annoyed because, first, Nancy didn't come back to their bedroom and second she had been ignoring him and spending all the time with the children.
At one point, he lost his patience and decided to go to the children's room and see for himself.
As he entered their room he asked summoning a happy voice, "Kids, are you still playing?" He feigned a happy and excited expression as he joined the lively atmosphere.
However, the kids were not happy to see him. Their faces darkened the moment they saw Charles entering the room.
They exclaimed in unison, "Daddy, get out!"
"What? Why?" Charles stood motionless and shocked at their demand. He took a quick glance at Nancy and asked in a stupefied tone, "You only want to play with Mommy? Don't you like to do the same with Daddy?"
The kids exchanged a knowing look with each other. "Of course we want Daddy, but not tonight!" It was Nadia who answered in her innocent and sweet voice.
"Nadia is right. Daddy, go away!" Bobby immediately agreed with Nadia as he jumped off the bed and went to where Charles was standing and started pushing on him towards the door.
Nadia found the act important as she copied Bobby and joined him at the door to eliminate Charles from the room. At this point, he was their enemy.
Charles stumbled backward helplessly as his eyes shifted to Nancy who was just sitting there, beaming at them. She giggled at Charles's helplessness with a shrug and enjoyed the drama.
Being driven out of the room, Charles had no choice but to return to his bedroom as the cheerful laughter of Nancy and the kids kept falling in his ears.
Even without wanting, he stayed awake for a long time until the next room finally fell into silence.
As it did, a smile crept up on his face as he realized that the children must have fallen asleep now.
Which precisely meant, now Nancy wouldn't take long to come to him?
They had been away from each other for so many days and now he couldn't wait to be with her. He had missed her so much and Nancy must be sharing the mutual feeling. Did she miss him?
As the thought crossed his mind, an idea popped up in his mind. He smiled to himself and closed his eyes pretending to be asleep. He wanted to see what Nancy would do when she would come in and see him fast asleep.
However, his plan didn't work out as even after thirty minutes, Nancy didn't return.
It was now getting on his nerves. Frustrated, he opened his eyes helplessly and sat up. A frown appeared on his face as he got off the bed, put on his slippers and went to the children's room again angrily.
She was intending to sleep in the children's room tonight. How could Nancy do this to him?
When Charles opened the door of the children's room and came in, his eyes darted towards the bed instinctively. Bobby was cuddling Nancy, lying on the right side of her, and Nadia was on her left. Their arms and legs were all over Nancy making it impossible for her to even move.
As Nancy heard the noise of the door opening, she opened her eyes and found Charles peeking through the door, watching them with a frown. The moment she saw him, she quickly closed her eyes again.
