The Adorable Twin’s Sticky Daddy novel Chapter 96

"It's not all Charles' fault. Even if the Fu family asked Dorothy to come back, she chose not to. And since she left him, Charles was free to date any woman. If she came back then, she would have been part of the Fu family. And our family business... Humph! If we got the help of TS Group then, we would have been so rich," Drew said, crossing his arms against his chest.

"She's our only daughter, and I don't allow you to speak for Charles ever again." Sherry put the flower branches into the vase with force, obviously not happy with what her husband just said.

"You always spoil her! If she breaks up with Charles, we will never find such a good man for her! What was she thinking?! She already got the big fish, and your daughter is foolish enough to let it go." Drew was even angrier now that his wife was taking their daughter's side. They were both unreasonable!

"Dorothy is good enough for Charles. And besides, I don't think he is willing to give up such a beauty like our daughter!" Evidenced by her curved lips and head slightly raised, Sherry sounded so proud.

"That's because you are her mother, and you can only see her merits. But other people will not look at her the same way! Never mind. I don't want to talk to you!" Evident in his voice was the impatience he had been containing. So to cool down his head, he stood up and was about to leave when the sound of an engine roared from the courtyard.

Then after a while, Dorothy's cheerful voice resounded, "Dad, mom, I'm back." "Oh, here she comes!" Sherry excitedly walked out of the living room to greet her daughter. "Oh, so is Charles! Come in!"

Hearing Charles's name, Drew walked up to him immediately and greeted, "Charles, come in."

"Hello, Mr. Zhuang and Mrs. Zhuang," Charles greeted and slightly bowed down to show his respect.

"You can just call them auntie and uncle. Don't be too polite." Dorothy nudged him, sporting a pout and pretending to be sulky with how he addressed her parents.

However, Charles didn't say anything and just eyed the elders with his most nonchalant gaze.

"Call me however you like." Drew was even more polite and embarrassed. In fact, it was already a great honor for him to have someone like Charles visit their house.

"Alright," Charles replied courteously.

"Ask the chef to prepare more dishes. I will keep Charles company for a while," Drew commanded.

Sherry picked up her phone, took a photo of Dorothy beside Charles, and posted it on WeChat.

This was obviously to brag about the man in her daughter's life.

After all, Charles was the most influential businessman in the city, and there was no way Sherry wouldn't show that off.

More than that, she couldn't wait to let the public know about her daughter's relationship with him.

It would only take a picture of the two uploaded in the most widely used social media application. And true enough! In less than two minutes, they became the hottest topic online—much to Sherry's satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Nancy had just finished an operation when

Jessie came rushing towards her.

"Doctor Nancy, look!" the latter yelled, holding her phone while wearing a cautious look on her face.

"What?" Nancy asked while massaging her nape.

"Promise me you won't be sad after reading it. Men are all like this, whether they're rich or not. They are all greedy-guts!" From the way Jessie spoke, Nancy already had an idea of what she was about to show her. And her instincts didn't fail once her eyes were glued on the screen.

'Dorothy Zhuang, Charles' girlfriend, came back from abroad. Will the true lovers end up together?' Nancy read silently while her brows knitted tightly.

As she ran her eyes through the screen, a slight pang of pain flickered in her chest. But even so, she just sported a bland smile and uttered, "I have nothing to do with Mr. Fu. Director Jessie. Please don't get me wrong."

"No, I didn't. I just wanted to show you this." Although Jessie meant well, there was nothing but pity in her eyes.

It was if Nancy had been dumped and completely left with nothing. After all, her relationship with Charles was no secret even though they never admitted it.

But Nancy just ignored her remark. Instead, she placed the phone in Jessie's hand and turned around. Then, without saying any word, she headed to her office.

Once she was left alone in the four corners of that room, she poured herself a glass of water and stared blankly at it.

Frankly, she was so sunk deep in her thoughts that even the water seemed like a perfect metaphor about life.

All her energy was sucked out of her body that even her fingers were immobile. At this point, breathing was the only rational thing to do for her.
