In utter fury, Charles strode towards the bathroom and kicked the door, not minding if he would destroy it.
Simultaneously, Nancy, who was washing her body under the showerhead, suddenly jolted in shock and shouted at the top of her lungs. She could feel her heart beating frantically.
In a panic, she crossed her arms against her chest, but failed to cover the lower part of her body.
"Who are you?! What are you doing?!" Nancy yelled, thinking that it was a complete stranger who barged inside.
She had known Edward for so many years, and the man would never break in uninvited, especially since she was totally naked under the shower.
So in horror, she grabbed the towel hanging on the rack in an attempt to cover her body.
However, before she could reach it, a hand suddenly grabbed her arm, causing her to fall against a chest as hard as a brick. "Nancy, it's me!"
"What?! You! Why are you here?" she questioned upon recognizing the baritone voice of the man.
Charles, who barged inside like some predator about to attack its prey, thought she and Edward were taking a shower together.
But as soon as he broke in, he found no trace of Edward in the bathroom.
Even when he turned around and surveyed the entire space, no one was around except for Nancy, whose body was dripping with water. Apparently, the ever-suspicious Charles was jealous of nothing! He misunderstood the entire situation again.
"The kids told me that you were taking a shower, and they wanted me to rub your back!" Sco
"Daddy, are you really going to marry Mommy?" the young boy asked, with his eyes twinkling in sheer bliss.
"Yes, big boy! I am marrying your mommy!" Charles ruffled his son’s hair and replied.
"Wow! Finally, Daddy!" Bobby thought that his wish had finally come true. It was only a matter of time before they became officially registered as a family!
"Daddy, give me a kiss!" Meanwhile, Nadia tiptoed and offered a hug to her father.
Charles bent down and immediately smooched her cheek with a kiss.
"Alright. I’m going to bed!" Edward, who managed to utter a sentence after being frozen to his feet, went downstairs without looking back.
"Mommy, are you okay?" Upon seeing how his mother blankly stared at his father, Bobby stretched out his little hand and gently nudged Nancy.
"Oh, yes, baby. Come on, let's go to bed!" Even after shaking her head a couple of times, Nancy could still not digest Charles’ revelation.
‘He’s going to marry me? Why didn't I know it?
Did Charles make the decision by himself again?
Why didn't he discuss it with me in advance? This is not a simple decision to make!
More than that, he hasn’t even proposed!' All those thoughts bombarded Nancy’s head. Charles had always been so overbearing and dictatorial, but she didn’t expect him to stretch out of it and decide their marriage by himself!
So, feeling that she was, once again, dominated by the stubborn mule that Charles was, Nancy clenched her fists tightly and replied, "I’m not going to marry you."
