‘This is gonna be a long night,’
Charles thought before reaching out his hand and gently pulling Nancy to his chest.
Then, with a wicked grin, he whispered to her ears, "Don’t shout, honey. I will be very gentle, I promise!"
On the second day, Nancy was woken up by Bobby and Nadia.
In a daze, she opened her eyes and surveyed the room. The quilt was folded, but the sheets were still wrinkled, leaving some traces of what happened last night.
"Hey! Why did you wake me up?" she asked the kids while squinting her eyes.
"Daddy has been up for some time, mommy. So we came to wake you up too!" Without having any clue as to why her mother would oversleep, Nadia responded in her usual tone.
"Has your daddy been up for a long time?" Nancy had to confirm.
"Yes, mommy!" This time, it was Bobby who replied with so much enthusiasm.
She then checked her watch and learned that it was only seven o'clock. How long had it been since Charles got up?
"Bobby Fu..."
"Mommy, call me Bobby..." the young boy interrupted, showing her his dismay.
"Well, Bobby..." Nancy paused before continuing, "Where is your father?"
Last night, Charles didn't go t
iage-seeking ad for Charles.
Upon learning this, Nancy gripped her fists tightly.
‘She knew he was living with me; that’s why she made up this announcement! Why does she hate me so much?’ she couldn’t help wondering.
But little did she know, the matriarch had always felt jealous of her.
Now that Charles had fallen so in love with her, Angelina felt Nancy was taking her loving son away from her.
More than that, she was so mad that he seldom went back home anymore.
She had to live alone in their mansion with only the servants to kill her time with.
Therefore, in a fit of anger, she published a marriage-seeking ad in the newspaper.
"Auntie, you are interfering with your son’s freedom. Do you think it's necessary to do that? There’s no need to post that in the newspaper. You know women would beg him to be with them," Joseph expressed, sporting a smug smile.
Angelina glanced at him and yelled, "I know, but just don’t like him this way!"
"Well, auntie, it won’t work. I suggest you introduce a woman to him! That would be way better than this!" Joseph joked, obviously trying to trick her aunt into putting Charles in a difficult position.
