Chapter 352 Provoke Charles

Edward hadn't seen Nancy for two days now. And the longer he couldn't get through to her, the more anxious he got.

The only person he could contact right now was Charles, but to his surprise, the man did not answer when he tried reaching him.

"Uncle Edward, where is mommy?" the kids, who also had no idea of what happened, asked with evident worry.

Nancy would never disappear for so long without letting Bobby and Nadia know where she was going. And now that they couldn’t contact her, the children were even more nervous.

Massaging his nape, Edward was lost for words. He couldn’t tell the kids that their mother was missing, and even that thought of that possibility sent shivers down his spine.

So instead, he scoured for an excuse and said, "Your daddy and mommy must have gone on a trip. I can’t contact them, so you two just stay here."

"Uncle Edward, shouldn't daddy and mommy go on a trip after they get married? But why did they leave even before the wedding? Also, why did they leave Nadia and me?" As a child with sharp senses, Bobby would always be the first to know if there anything terrible hah happened to their parents.

So when the boy directly asked those questions, Edward immediately knew that the Bobby had caught on to something. Perhaps nothing terrible happened to them. After all, there was no news about Charles and Nancy circulating the media right now.

But why didn't they answer his call? If they were enjoying a trip somewhere else, they would have responded to his call, knowing that the

kay? I haven’t heard from her in days, and I’m really worried." Edward decided not to sugarcoat his words. After all, he had every right to ask that when the kids were left under his roof without their mother.

Instead of replying, Charles stood up from his swivel chair and walked towards the small table that housed his office liquors. He then poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Edward on the couch.

After he took some time off for two days, Charles’s anger had finally died down.

In fact, he purposely ignored Edward during those days to test the latter’s attitude and see if he would attempt to make a move.

Now that the news about his break-up with Nancy was all over the internet, Charles figured that Edward must be the most ecstatic one out of everyone else––well aside from Angelina, his mother.

So with his sharp gaze, Charles tried to scrutinize the man’s face to confirm his suspicions.

Without hesitation, Charles proceeded to ask his question, "Tell me your relationship with Nancy when you two met abroad."

Upon hearing this, Edward couldn’t help arching his brows and grinning with satisfaction.

He knew that his relationship with Nancy was bothering Charles so much. And the way his jaws hardened only proved what Edward was thinking.

"Nancy and I had a good run abroad. In fact, some would say that we’re just like a couple. Why? Are you jealous?" The moment those words escaped his lips, and a smug smile etched on his face, Edward knew that there was no way Charles would not be provoked.
