Charles put his arm around Nancy's shoulders, and then they left the hospital together.
The clean and pleasant smell coming from him helped Nancy gradually calm down.
She wished that she could lean on someone like this forever without having to think about anything.
It was not until she got into Charles' car that she finally felt like herself again.
"Thank you," she said, lazily leaning back against the seat.
"What do you want to eat?" Charles asked with a smile.
"Um... Kung pao chicken, braised fish in brown sauce, sweet and sour spareribs, braised prawns," she rattled off after giving it a moment's thought.
These were the dishes that her mother often made for her when she was a child.
In her eyes, they were the most delicious dishes in the world! And after the long day that she had just had, she wanted to eat something familiar and comforting.
"Okay," Charles agreed at once and started driving to a big hotel.
As soon as they arrived at the hotel and were seated at a table, he
Nancy mumbled quickly. The washroom was the best place to hide to avoid an embarrassing situation. However, before she could stand up and run away, Charles placed his hands on her shoulder and stared down at her.
"I'm just giving you a kiss for Bobby, so you don't have to feel so shy," he teased.
Nancy felt her heart pounding against her chest.
"Daddy, did you kiss Mommy yet?" Bobby asked again impatiently.
All of a sudden, Nancy thought of something and handed Charles a cup so that he could kiss it, pretending that he was kissing her. After all, Bobby couldn't see them, right?
All he needed to hear was something that sounded like a kiss.
Children were easy to trick.
"I'm going to kiss her now," Charles said. Then, he tapped his finger on the edge of the cup, creating a crisp sound.
However, Bobby was smart enough to know when his father was lying to him.
He smiled and said, "Daddy, my teacher said that children can't lie. If you didn't kiss Mommy's forehead, you're the worst liar!"
