A sad expression painted Daisy's face as she strolled out. "Well, that's too bad."
"What are you saying? Do you mean you're pregnant?" Joseph revealed a thrilled expression.
"Yes, I am." However, Daisy was still blue.
"How wonderful! I will be a father. What a spectacular blessing from God! Of course, I should thank my beautiful wife. Daisy, I will love you and the child with all my heart." Joseph laughed in excitement. Then, he lifted Daisy as they danced around the living room.
"Joseph, don't spin me! You're making me nauseous." When she noticed Joseph's enthusiasm, Daisy's spirit was uplifted. His happiness might have infected her.
After he carefully put Daisy on the sofa, Joseph looked her in the eye and sincerely said, "You're the most important member of the Fu family now. Please refrain from doing any strenuous activities. Don't worry. I'll make sure that you and the baby will have all the nutritious food you need. I love you so much, Daisy."
Then, Joseph gently put his hand on her belly. With a smile, he rubbed it and said, "This is fantastic, Daisy!"
"Well, you look like you haven't seen a baby before. You're ecstatic!" Daisy chided with a smile.
Joseph leaned closer and held Daisy's face. In a sincere tone, he said, "Daisy, we should get married again!"
Immediately, Daisy's face turned red as she nodded.
As such, Joseph made a nutritious breakfast early in the morning. After the two ate, they got ready to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. There, they could get their marriage certificates and get remarried.
However, on their way to the bureau, Joseph and Daisy saw Nancy.
Immediately, Joseph reached for his phone and contacted Charles.
At that moment, Charles had just sent his children to school.
A perplexed expression painted Charles' face. When he noticed that Joseph was calling him, Charles slid his finger on the screen. "Hello, Joseph. What's up?"
"Charles, how are you? Did you fight with Nancy?" Joseph asked in a light tone.
For a second, Charles was silent. Then, he replied dismissively, "No."
"So, what's going on between you and Nancy? Do you have any problems with your relationship?" Joseph asked in a concerned tone.
"Did Grandpa told you something about my marriage?" Charles skeptically asked as he noticed Joseph's cautious tone.
"No, it's not like that. I just saw Nancy," Joseph answered.
Charles's face revealed a troubled expression. With furrowed eyebrows, he stopped the car and rubbed his forehead.
"So, tell me the truth. What's going on with you and Nancy?" Based on Charles' tone, Joseph realized that the former was in a bad mood. Joseph speculated that the relationship between Charles and Nancy was in trouble.
"Joseph, when you saw Nancy, was she alone? Was she doing anything in particular? When did you see her? And where?" A barrage of questions suddenly escaped Charles' lips.
Meanwhile, Joseph didn't know if he should tell Charles the truth. With a troubled expression, Joseph stared silently at Daisy.
Daisy realized Joseph's dilemma, so she just nodded. 'At this point, it's pointless not to tell Charles the truth.' She feared the Nancy might have left with Rick. If that happened, not just Rick but the whole Fu family would be negatively affected.
Daisy liked Nancy very much. She hoped that Charles and Nancy could get married.
"Well, she was not alone," Joseph stammered.
"Who was she with?"
When he realized that he couldn't avoid the question anymore, Joseph decided to tell the truth. "Rick was with her."
After he told Charles the location of the restaurant, Joseph hung up the phone.
"Why are you in a hurry?" Daisy curiously asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"No, it's not like that. It's just that every time I call Charles, he always makes me feel nervous. I can't seem to grow over it." Then, Joseph's eyes turned to the restaurant once again. Nancy and Rick were facing each other while eating. The two seemed so happy while conversing.
"We should leave. If their destiny is to live together forever, Charles and Nancy will get over their problems. But if they aren't, they should let each other go and move one with their lives," Daisy advised with a wry smile.
A heavy sigh escaped Joseph's lips as he stepped on the gas and drove away.
After ten minutes, Charles finally arrived at the Chinese restaurant.
However, Charles didn't open the door and stayed in the car instead. He pulled a cigarette and a lighter and smoked.
