When the children finally fell asleep, Nancy turned to Charles and asked,
"Charles, are you going to the guest room tonight, or will I?
No. You are the owner of this house, and I am just a guest. You should sleep in the master's bedroom and I' II sleep in the guest room."
Charles remained quiet, so Nancy stood up to go to the guest room.
However, when she passed by Charles, she felt a sharp pain on her arm.
His grip was so tight that Nancy cried out in pain. "What are you doing?"
Without letting go of her arm, Charles closed the door and said in a hoarse voice,
"Didn't I say that I wanted to have a good talk with you?"
"Okay, what do you want to talk about?" asked Nancy.
"Are you still their mother?" It could be told from the way he dragged her that he was really mad.
When Charles finally let go of her, Nancy glared at him while rubbing her arm that was now turning red. "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't act crazy."
"Okay, I'll go straight to the point. Nadia is sick today because she ate too much this morning. She is still too young to eat much. As a mother, please explain what you've done." His breathing labored as he tried to suppress his anger.
"You’re blaming me for what happened to Nadia, aren't you?" Shaking her head, Nancy looked at him in disbelief.
"Isn't it right?" Charles raised his eyebrows and stared at Nancy viciously.
"I admit that it's my fault, but I have so much to do, Charles. I have to cook for the children and prepare the clothes they will wear. As a doctor, I am very busy too. I didn't notice it when they had breakfast. I won’t intentionally let my own daughter eat so much." These past few days had been hectic for Nancy, and the last she needed was to be reprimanded.
Why didn't Charles understand her at all?
"You are very busy. Am I not? But what did I do today? I left all my clients and social engagements to be with Nadia. How about you? Tell me, Nancy, what did you do today?" Maybe it was because Charles was trying his best to be tolerant that veins stood out on his forehead. He was like an angry lion clenching his fists, refraining himself from attacking his prey.
"Nana is in a bad mental state today. I can't leave her alone..." In Nancy's opinion, this was a good reason. After all, Nana was a patient and she was a doctor. But it was not enough to calm Charles down.
"Charles, thank you for keeping Nadia company. I'm sorry. I've been really busy today..." Although Nancy was also a little annoyed with his remarks, she also felt the need to apologize. After all, she was Nadia's mother and she was a doctor, but she was not able to take care of her own child.
No matter what she said, Charles only pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
”1 will pay more attention to it in the future. As long as the children are with me, I will not let them suffer like today!" The more she explained, the more furious Charles became, because she still hadn't said what he wanted to hear.
When he couldn't take it anymore, he snapped, "Nancy!" His voice was so loud that it made Nancy flinch in fear.
"Charles, I've explained everything. What else do you want me to say? I'm also worried about Nadia. I've called you countless times, but you didn't answer any of them. What can I do?"
"Well, Nadia waited for you at the door of the operating room for so long. Tell me, where have you been?" Afraid that he would wake the children up, Charles tried to hold back his anger as much as possible. His breathing was heavy, and the uncontrollable rage he had almost burst out from his chest.
"I...I..." Until this very moment, Nancy was still wondering whether she should tell Charles that she had a meal with Rick. A part of her thought that it was unnecessary since they weren't together anymore, but the other part was telling her to let Charles know about it.
As she hesitated, Charles stared at her with fiery eyes.
"Well, I did have a meal with Rick today, but it's not like what the internet said. That's too unreal. If we're really having an affair, I wouldn't be that careless in public."
What she said took Charles by surprise. 'The internet?'
"Nancy, what do you mean by that?" Since Charles kept his phone turned off the whole day to spend time with Nadia, he had no idea what was going on with the internet.
He hated being clueless, so he took out his phone and browsed the internet.
As soon as he saw the photos, his eyes narrowed.
