The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 702

Nancy walked towards Charles as soon as she finished bidding Rick farewell. "Charles, I came here to congratulate Rick on his hospital's opening. Is there something wrong? Why are you angry? Didn't it occur to you that my phone may have died? Anyway, I'm leaving. II

After those cold words, Nancy went straight to the elevator.

Before the elevator doors shut completely, Charles boarded the elevator as well.

The elevator was quite spacious, yet it felt tiny to Nancy as soon as Charles entered.

Subconsciously, Nancy inched away from the man.

Recently, Nancy had been better to Charles because of his performance during her mother's illness. But seeing him now made her annoyed.

'Why does he always follow me?'

Nancy felt desperate and suffocated, while Charles remained oblivious to what she felt.

Nancy simply lowered her head, avoiding an eye contact with Charles.

"Nancy, why do you always have to be self-righteous?" Charles could not bear the silence in the elevator.

Nancy could remain silent for three days if she wanted to. The only thing Charles wanted was to talk and resolve their issues.

Charles had always been confident, but somehow he acted differently with regards to his relationship with

Nancy. He often found himself feeling insecure.

He did not want to force his hand, yet he was left with no choice.

He was obviously preoccupied during the whole elevator trip. His mind was filled various thoughts. He wondered whether Nancy would leave him.

Charles knew that his brain made up everything he had thought of, yet he could not control himself.

He agonized as an image of Rick's smug face flashed in his head. If it weren't for Nancy, Charles would have beaten Rick.

Charles didn't want their stalemate to continue. The coldness they shared was not healthy fortheir marriage or their children.

"What did I do wrong this time, huh?" Nancy asked in confusion.

Charles had always accused her of crimes she did not commit. Nancy was growing tired of Charles' mistrust.

'Why is he mad at me? Because I insist on investigating the club? Because of the hug with Rick? Or because I came to Rick's hospital?

Are all these things mistakes in Charles' eyes?

He just wants me to stay at home and be a housewife,' Nancy thought.

She was not the kind of woman that would be a full-time wife. To her, there was more to life than just waiting for her husband and kids to get home.

She wanted a career and a life she could call her own; being a full-time wife would defeat those goals.

"So, instead of taking care of your hospitalized mother, you decided to meet Rick," Charles said in a low voice. "Are you proud of your decisions?"

"That's it? That's what you've been blabbering about?" Nancy smiled. She had no idea that Charles was gravely concerned for the mother.

Nancy's voice was evidently softer when she said, "Rick has helped me quite a lot. It's only proper that I pay him back. I promise that I feel no romantic feelings for him. And I won't meet him if not necessary."

Nancy was also tired of being at odds with Charles after all.

"Really? Do you really mean that?" Charles asked in disbelief.

"Yes. You have to trust me, Charles!" Nancy shrugged as she spoke coyly.

"I trust you, Nancy." Charles really hoped that the tension between him and Nancy had been fully lifted.
