"Charles, you are such a despicable man!" Nancy said, seething with anger.
"Nancy, oh Nancy, regardless of how despicable I am, am I more despicable than Jill?" Charles sneered.
If he didn't care about Nancy's feeling, could Jill have ever blackmailed him?
Did Jill think he was a harmless turtle? Was he as helpless as he showed?
No. Absolutely no! There were a million ways Charles could have employed to get his hand on the household register. However, he refused to embarrass Nancy and felt that paying ten million was a better choice.
After all, ten million was nothing to Charles.
Charles' words made Nancy speechless. She asked in annoyance, "If you don't love me, then why do you insist on marrying me?"
"Who said I don't love you?" Charles asked in shock.
How was he supposed to show the mystical feeling called love? Was he supposed to die to show his eternal true love?
When Nancy was missing, he couldn't sleep and eat well. Within days he lost a lot of weight and mental stability.
'Nancy, in your eyes, what kind of a man am I?'
"If you love me, then tell me where you were last night?" Nancy looked straight into Charles' eyes.
"Yes, Daddy. If you love Mommy, just tell her what you did last night, okay?" Bobby shouted, anxious about the outcome.
He didn't want his Mommy and Daddy to hate each other!
"I've already told you. I had something to deal with and was in a meeting regarding that."
Before Charles could finish his words, Bobby's cold voice interrupted him, "Daddy, only Nadia will be fooled by excuses like that. I don't believe you! How about I call your assistant? Or we can go to your group and get the surveillance video."
With Bobby's intelligence, how could he not see through such perfunctory and lame excuses?
Charles rubbed his forehead and sighed inwardly, 'Why can't Bobby let go of me?
Is he really my-biological-son?
Which biological son would ever pull down his own father?'
Nancy sneered. She knew that Bobby was helping her in finding fault with Charles' excuses.
According to Nancy, Charles wouldn't tell the reason because he had done something wrong outside.
Otherwise, what else could he not say to her?
"Daddy, you once taught me and Nadia that honesty is the best policy. If you are honest, you won't lie. Am I right, Daddy?" Bobby added.
This little guy was becoming more and more eloquent.
Charles could no longer underestimate Bobby. He concluded that he could no longer get himself out of this situation with perfunctory excuses.
Charles frowned and nodded after thinking for a while.
Charles somehow activated the added sexiness of his lips, and with a pleasant voice said, "Nancy, I did go out but for a good reason. I didn't go to the night club, or the bar, or the group, but to the police station. While investigating the club's case, the police suspected Joseph and took him away. So I went there to talk with them and bring Joseph back. That's all."
After saying that, Charles frowned and lowered his head.
For the first time, Nancy saw Charles so despondent.
"It has nothing to do with Joseph?" asked Nancy.
