If she continued to contact Edward, Charles wouldn't stop asking Hiram to follow her.

Nancy bathed the children and took them to their rooms to sleep.

Once she finished, she returned to her bedroom.

She found Charles seated on a chair and flipping through some documents.

That night, Nancy was in no mood to be around him. She turned to leave for the guest bedroom.

As she was walking out, Charles stretched out his arm and pulled her towards him. He sighed, "Nancy, what should I do?"

"Charles, can I ask you a question?" she asked feebly.

"What is it, Nancy?" Charles took a deep breath and ran his hands through her hair.

He chuckled softly at her question. "Why are you asking? Do you want me to fall in love with her?"

She frowned at him, unsatisfied with his reply. Nancy contemplated his question, unsure what to tell him.

After watching the interview, Nancy snatched the chopsticks from Charles and asked, "Tell me, Charles. Do you think Christine is your girlfriend?"

"Nancy, you’re nagging more often these days. I’m not done eating yet. Will you let me finish?"

"Stop playing, Charles. You always do this to me…"

"Don’t be ridiculous. You’re the only other woman who has seen every part of my body aside from my mother. You tell me! What is my relationship with Christine?"

It was only by coincidence that Charles and Christine ever even met.
