Nadia bit her small fingers, trying to solve her problem.
Who did she like more?
It was difficult for her to decide!
She looked up to see Charles smiling at him. "I like both of you!" she exclaimed. Charles winced at her reply, feeling helpless.
"Nadia, you see, we’ve lived together for so long. Daddy promises to send you to school every day, and even pick you up! I’ll cook delicious food for you and buy you nice toys…" he listed, trying to appease her.
Charles never thought the day would come where he would have to pine for his children’s favor.
But now, he found himself desperately groveling for their recognition.
Bobby had grown tired of Charles’ pleading. With a sigh, he said, "Daddy, as long as you can make Mommy happy, or marry her immediately, Nadia and I will like you!"
"Really, Nadia?" Charles asked her softly.
"Well, as long as Daddy can make Mommy happy, I will like Daddy the most! Daddy, you’ll be able to do that, right?" she asked. Nadia held Charles’ face and gave him a big kiss, smiling brightly at him. "Bobby, Mommy and I don’t want to leave Daddy. You have to try harder, Daddy! Come on!"
"I'll try my hardest", he
"Honey, you’re finally speaking to me. I knew you wouldn’t be able to ignore me. Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? Just tell me, and I’ll make it for you."
"It’s fine, I’m not hungry," she said hesitantly. Nancy was still upset with him, no matter what he did. Kneeling made no difference to her.
She knew him too well. How would an arrogant man set aside his pride and kneel?
Nancy didn’t have the heart to forgive him just yet.
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach rumbled. She turned away from him in embarrassment.
"Nancy, wait for me. I’ll cook noodles for you. It’ll be ready in a few minutes," Charles eagerly said as he stepped out of the room.
Nancy winced from the pain in her lower body as she sat up from the bed.
Looking down at her body, she took a deep breath and murmured, "Charles, you’re a cruel man!"
Charles had heard her words from outside the room. He paused and glanced back at her with a somber face.
Feeling sorry for himself, Charles sighed. He really lost his mind that night!
Even if he regretted his actions, he couldn’t allow for any other man to steal Nancy away from him!
No matter who it was!
