"Nancy, I find that you sometimes have the strangest train of thought. If Edward came back home, wouldn't that be a good thing? He would, in fact, be back in his own home. What are you so worried about?" Charles asked this in a bitter tone, making it apparent that he was jealous of Edward again.
"I've just been looking forward to it. Charles, where do you think he went?" she anxiously asked, releasing a heavy sigh afterwards.
"Well, maybe he's feeling guilty about doing something wrong. Anyway, let's leave it alone for now. Let's go!"
"I can understand if you're jealous of other men, but not Edward. He's part of my family. Don't you understand?" She proceeded to hold Bobby's hand and looked him straight in the eye. "Bobby, what do you think? Should we go back to Edward's house or find a hotel for tonight?"
"I... I'll do whatever you decide. However, I've also been worried about Uncle Edward. Where on earth has he gone?" Bobby spoke hesitantly.
"Yes, daddy. I think they're right. It would be smart to stay in Uncle Edward's house for tonight. Let's just go back. Is that okay?" Nadia said while tugging on his arm obediently.
Charles was always willing to compromise when it came to his two children.
"Okay," he said.
Charles then opened the door for h
obvious that Derrick had the biggest motive to kidnap Edward. Of course, he didn't want Edward to confirm the recent rumor about him and Nancy.
Now, the rumor had spread and was widely known across their communities.
If Edward wasn't there to clarify it, the relationship between them would be considered confirmed. So...
Charles felt a chill shock him on his spine when he thought of this. If it was true that Edward wasn't conspiring with Joseph and was truly kidnapped by them, he would definitely feel sympathetic towards the man. After all, Charles had misunderstood him all along.
Charles waited anxiously all night for news about Edward.
Nancy also spent the night restless from her thoughts.
After what seemed like forever, they received a call from Jay.
"Alas, why is Jay making trouble at this time?" said Nancy, scowling at Charles.
Charles left the room to take the call and said, "Hello?"
"Charles, Doris just told me that she saw a person who looked exactly like Edward at No. 21, North Sea Road today!" Jay then handed the phone to Doris.
"Oh, Charles. I saw Edward at No. 21, North Sea Road today. Maybe you should get someone to take a look over there," Doris said anxiously.
"Got it. I'm going there immediately!" Charles ended the call.
