Jerome was a funny man who was full of humor and could make Nancy burst into laughter every now and then.
They casually talked without feeling any pressure at all. Their conversation flowed as if it was between two old friends who were catching up and talking about their future.
Nancy thought that they seemed they get along pretty well.
When Nancy got home, Nadia had not yet returned. She assumed Nadia would have fallen asleep already and it would be better if she stayed over at Doris' house for the night.
As it was already half past eleven in the evening, there was no point in bringing her back anymore.
Nancy took a shower to freshen up and lay on the bed. However, she couldn't sleep. Thinking of Bobby, she tossed and turned.
To pass the time, she got her phone and sent a message to her WeChat friend, "Night", "Are you online?"
"Yes," was the immediate reply she received from the person.
"What's your point of view on love?"
There was silence for a while. Just when Nancy thought he wouldn't reply anymore,
Night messaged back, "Love is a feeling that comes with a strong sense of possession. If you cannot have the person you love, you will feel immense pain, and will suffer a life worse than death. You will feel as if life is meaningless."
Nancy pondered on his message and asked curiously after a while, "Do you think love could develop between blind dates?"
This time, Charles replied right after he had read her message, "Why, did you go
said while taking off the apron.
"I just want to remind you that we have broken up. It wouldn't be good for either one of us if we keep on pestering each other." Nancy couldn't help but speak out what was on her mind.
"Can we discuss this later? Do you think it is appropriate to say these words in front of the children?" Charles said coldly, his impatience and annoyance clearly visible.
"Daddy, mommy, please don't quarrel, okay?" Nadia said unhappily, her eyes widened, filled with tears threatening to spill out.
"I agree, mommy. Nadia and I have both been well behaved. Please don't argue with daddy, okay?" Bobby seconded what Nadia said, feeling aggrieved.
Nancy was left speechless and couldn't utter a single word.
Her heart was filled with complicated and conflicting feelings and she couldn't put into words how she felt at that moment.
After dinner, Charles helped Nadia and Bobby take a shower in the bathroom.
He was filled with longing for a complete family as he held the two little babies tightly in his arms. After bathing, they walked towards the bedroom.
"Wow, it's great! We're a complete family again and we'll live together tonight!" Nadia and Bobby exclaimed cheerfully. They could not contain their excitement.
"Charles, what do think are you doing?" Nancy said scornfully, not understanding what his intentions were.
All she wanted was to make a clean break with Charles. But how would that happen with all of them together like this?
