The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 91

Nancy blinked once, then twice. She was in utter loss of words. In need to act quickly, she just smiled at the man.

It was the only thing she thought of doing. Any word that came out of her mouth would be pure nonsense.

To spare herself from more awkwardness, Nancy looked away. She kept glancing on the slowly ticking clock. 'When would they leave?' she thought and let out a small sigh.

Nancy didn't like handling the dinner party. She couldn't even remember how she worked up the courage to throw such a thing when she knew it would be a very tiring thing to do.

"They are always like that, annoying." Lyndon disrupted her train of thoughts. The interrupted woman stopped staring at the clock and turned to him. She smiled as she found a way to let time pass by faster.

"It seems you have gotten used to it, haven't you?" Lyndon had her full attention. She has been alone the whole time and was in a deep state of boredom. It would be nice to have a chat with the man beside her.

The man politely nodded his head while showing Nancy a small smile. Reaching for a glass of wine, he took a small sip from it. "It's nice to meet you."

Nancy smiled perfunctorily. "Nice to meet you too."

"I hate those idle old ladies. They keep pushing me to go to the dinner party to set up unsuccessful blind dates. Our age is very different from theirs. They can't understand young people at all. We are under great pressure at work and at the same time we have to deal with our parents' urging to get married," Lyndon irritably said. He took another sip of wine to cool his nerves before slamming it rather harshly on the table.

"But they're also doing this for their children. They just don't want them to set aside their love lives and act on it when they realize it's too late. Right?" Nancy suggested before taking another sip of her wine as well.

"Sometimes parents' love is a burden to us." The man smiled bitterly and obliviously shook his head. He turned her attention to the other side of the room. Nancy took this as a sign that their conversation was over. Once again, she found herself glancing at the clock. It didn't seem to have changed even the slightest bit.

"Nancy? Is that you? Why are you here?" Jay suddenly appeared in front of her.

"I could ask you the same thing, Mr. Fang." Nancy ignored his question and clutched on her wine glass tighter. She rolled her eyes and devised ways to get her out of here faster. But for the sake of not appearing rude, Nancy decided to stay.

Nancy still clearly remembered what happened two days ago. Jay bravely declared to her face that he wanted to make a move on Doris. Yet he still came to the dinner party?

In Jay's defense, he didn't even want to come here. Jennie, his mother, insisted on bringing him here.

Under the threat of his mother, Jay had no choice but to come along. 'How bad would it be?' he thought.

But he didn't expect to meet Nancy here. As a result, it would be very bad.

"I came here with my mom." Avoiding eye contact with Nancy, he couldn't help but notice the presence of Lyndon beside the very woman. With disdain he asked, "Sister-in-law, who is this man?" "'Sister-in-law'? What is that supposed to mean?" the man of question asked, obviously confused.

"Don't mind him, Mr. Li. He is talking nonsense. Don't take it seriously." Nancy glanced around the table and took a small plate of mango. "Mr. Fang, would you like a piece of mango? Don't talk nonsense."

Jay swatted Nancy's hand away and scowled at her desperate move to push him away. Then he focused his attention at Lyndon. He thought to himself for a few seconds, recalling the familiar face. Shortly after he clicked his tongue. "If I remember correctly, you should be Lyndon Li. Let me tell you, Nancy..."

"Jay, quickly. Come here. She is very beautiful. You will definitely like her." Jay got interrupted by Jennie walking over. Before he even muttered a small goodbye, his mother took a hold of his hand with a smile and dragged him away.

"Well Mr. Fang is as casual as before." said Lyndon calmly. He downed the remaining wine in his glass and then slumped back in his chair.

"Yes, that's how he is." Nancy lightly tapped her wine glass. Glancing back at the clock, she made a successful attempt of syncing the clock's ticks and her finger's taps. Eventually getting bored, she looked around and found that Angelina and Mrs. Li were still having a good conversation.

Nancy can't help but think of her two children. What were they doing now? Were they alright? Were they as bored as their mother? Hopefully not. She was worried about them, but she couldn't leave now. She felt like sitting on pins and needles. When she waited for this dinner party to end, it was like she waited for paint to dry.

She could only talk with Lyndon. But what could they even talk about? Their last two attempts at a conversation failed. Would it be awkward to initiate a new one? What would happen if they were once again hit with a pang of awkward silence?

Nancy shrugged at the thought and focused somewhere else. She looked around the room to keep her entertained. No such luck. And alas she found something. No, it was not the clock. Jay was dragged to the front of Yvonne He. Jennie glared at him and said, "Say hello to Miss He!"

Jay knew he wouldn't win this fight or any other fight with his mother. Sighing, he gave in. Lazily putting his hands in his pockets but plastering a bright smile, he greeted the woman. "Hello, Miss He."

Yvonne blushed and replied shyly, "Hello, Mr. Fang."

"You two have a chat. I'm going to head over there and give you two some privacy," Jennie said in a hurry before practically gliding away.

"Yvonne, you seem like a nice woman. I would love to stay and chat but I have a stomachache and I need to go to the toilet now." Jay only had interest in Doris, and had no interest in any other woman. With this in mind, he had no problem choosing his mother's wrath.

He didn't even wait for any kind of response from Yvonne He. Immediately clutching his stomach, he dashed to the toilet. But of course, his mother's eyes were on him like a hawk's. The toilet was still a long way ahead and his mother was already close to catching up on him.

"You?" Jennie was almost pissed off by her son. She knew that he must have escaped on purpose. "Come back here!" She'd been working hard to find her son a decent partner. The least he could do was try talking to the woman for more than ten seconds.

Hearing his mother's vulturous voice, he ran even faster. Fortunately enough, he arrived at his destination.

Jennie ran two steps forward and stopped at last. It was the men's room that Jay went to. As a rich lady, she had to pay attention to her behavior. It was already naturally difficult for her to speed walk after him like a mad woman.

The furious mother did nothing but stand there and stump her feet. She just waited for him to leave. She knew her own son well enough to know he wouldn’t have the courage to exit through the window.

Jay ran into the toilet and closed the door. He knew his mother had too much grace and principles to step foot in the men's room, but he was not taking any chances. He locked the door.
