Chapter 89 The Truth

Nancy's eyelashes swept up as she looked into Charles's eyes intently. Then she asked, "Charles, what else do you think I can give you except this?"

Charles growled aloud, "You…!" Seizing the armrests of the wheel chair firmly, Charles breathed heavily to calm his nerves. He had not been this angry for a long time. He stopped himself from saying aloud something that might hurt Nancy. So he kept quiet.

He knew Nancy was eager for his consent and he also knew she would never accept that verbally. She was pretending to return Charles the favor. But the truth was far from that.

Nancy never once strayed her eyes from Charles. "Are you doubting me, Charles? All I'm telling is the truth," Nancy coaxed flatly.

"Nancy, I'm cent percent confident about your words that you did not mean that in any way," Charles countered in a perturbed tone. His eyes turned cold as he looked at her with a knitted frown.

"Our feelings aren't mutual Charles. All I want is a peaceful and uneventful life where I'm happy the way I want," Nancy implied softly.

"I can give you that as well, Nancy."

"No, you cannot Charles!" Nancy refused to believe his dry words. "Charles, we both are adults. We can't be impulsive anymore. We are looking for a quiet and uneventful life because that is what we need. We do not need a grand lifestyle to be happy from hea

e biggest regret in my life has been not having a daughter. But now that I have you and Nadia, my life is complete." Angelina's words were sweet. They weren't as vicious as they used to before.

"I like you too, Aunt," Nancy replied softly as she was shelling shrimp for the two kids.

"Mommy, what does Grandma mean?" Nadia raised her pretty head and looked between the two older ladies with her big inquisitive eyes.

Before Nancy could answer her question, Angelina said quickly, "What I mean is that from now on, Nadia has become my granddaughter. Are you happy?"

"That means, I don't have to leave?" That was Nadia's biggest concern for now.

She liked Charles who was doting on her here. Then there was her brother, Bobby. He played with her. Although this grandmother was strange in the beginning, she seemed very kind and nice now. She was behaving friendly towards them.

"You can come here whenever you like, Nadia. And if you want to live here with me in the future, that'll make me very glad," Angelina answered the little girl excitedly.

"Wow! That'd be fun," Nadia too exclaimed excitedly.

"Can Mommy and Daddy be together in the future?" This question came from Bobby all of a sudden.

"Well, yes. Of course. It's a good thing that your Mommy and Daddy have a closer relationship now," said Angelina, rolling her eyes.
