"I... I won't talk anymore, okay?" Seeing that Bobby was unhappy, Nadia decided to keep her mouth shut.
"Charles, can't you see that our children are now deeply affected by these things? Think about it. If you were them, how would you feel? Wouldn't you be troubled too?" In the past few days, Nancy had noticed how the gossips about her and Charles had been putting psychological pressure on the children, which was obviously not good for their growth.
"This is a simple problem that can be easily solved," Charles said and cast a glance at Nancy.
"How?" Nancy asked.
"How many times do I have to tell you that as long as we get married, everything will fall into their right places? It's such a simple thing, Nancy. Why don't you want to do it? Tell me, why do you keep refusing to marry me? Is getting married so hard for you to do? Or you think it's a shame for you to marry me?" These thoughts had been making Charles frustrated because he badly wanted to marry her. Besides, the public had come up with different speculations just because they hadn't got married yet, and these would only disappear once they got married.
"Those things have nothing to do with our marriage. Other people would still find other excuses even if we were married. They would say you and Brandy were cheating on me. The only thing that we can do now is to prevent such things from happening again. In order to do that, we have to address the issues within us!" Nancy sighed.
"Let's talk about your problem first. Tell me, will you cut ties with Rick?" It was not a secret that Charles wanted Nancy to completely remove Rick from her life. He didn't want her to see him nor talk to him at all.
"Are you saying I can't talk to other men now? Most of my patients' families are men. Will I ignore them just because you say so? Obviously, it's impossible. We could still interact with other people. We don't need to avoid anyone, just as long as we keep a proper distance. That's it, Charles. I'll try my best, and I hope you can do the same. If any of us makes the paparazzi expose negative news again, then we'd better live separately!"
As soon as Charles heard her last sentence, his face darkened. How could this woman talk about separation as if he was dispensable?
It was understandable that she mainly cared about their children's feelings, but shouldn't she also consider what he felt?
A man like him needed a woman's comfort and love too. Was there something wrong with that?
"I agree with you and support you with both hands about trying our best to keep distance from the opposite sex, but I disagree with the last words you've said!"
"Yes, I also object!" Nadia raised her hand to protest.
"Yes, Mommy. I think what you said is thoughtless. Nadia and I are already old enough to understand things now. You can't always say you want to break up with Daddy. It's stupid of you to do so. Daddy is so handsome and rich. Do you want to give him to another woman? Most importantly, do you want us to call someone else our mommy? Mommy, you have to think about it carefully. Don't be impulsive!" Bobby said earnestly like an adult.
"Yes, Mommy. They say, being impulsive is bad." Nodding her head, Nadia glanced at Bobby.
"Fine, I was wrong. I take it back!" Of course, Nancy didn't like the idea of her children having a stepmother.
They only had one mother and that was her. She had carried them in her womb for nine months, and had worked hard to raise them. How could she give them up to someone else?
If it happened, she would absolutely suffer a great loss.
"Isn't your mommy being a bit sarcastic? Do you think she should apologize to me?" A complacent smile flashed across Charles' eyes.
On the contrary, Nancy's face turned red in anger. "Charles, don't push your luck, okay?"
When Nancy turned her attention back to the kids, the scowl on her face disappeared.
