Chapter 567 Competing For Favor

"Bobby, listen to me. You're Nadia's big brother, so you wait for now. Nadia will take her bath first, then I'll call you in and bathe you after her. Nadia won't take much time to take her shower, Okay?" Nancy said to Bobby in a low voice.

"Okay, fine!" Bobby huffed and reluctantly agreed to Nancy's request.

After taking the shower, they stuck with Nancy and continued to chat and laugh together.

Meanwhile, Charles was restless in his room. He was scowling whenever the sound of their laughter was entering his ears. He was annoyed by the fact that while they were happy playing in the other room, he was there sitting alone and frowning. The more their laughter flew in, the more annoyed he was getting.

A while later of pacing back and forth restlessly in his room, he decided to take a shower. Charles didn't want to take his shower alone but there was no way he could express his desire to anyone. It was making him scowl even more. After taking the shower he waited quite long for Nancy to come over, but that never happened. Instead, the children laughed and shouted cheerfully even more making Charles more annoyed. It seemed like they have planned on making Nancy stay with them tonight so that Charles would have to sleep alone. At one point his patience broke for waiting too long and he lay alone. But even sleep seemed to betray him tonight. All he did was tossing and turning on the bed restlessly.

It felt as if the bed bugs were crawling all over his body.

Charles was greatly annoyed because, first, Nancy d

spital today. I have to check on my patient and don't have time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you." Nancy clarified her response. She was worried about her patients and she couldn't be careless by abandoning them without knowing how they were doing.

Especially the little girl who just had an operation. She couldn't walk. The fire was so fierce. Nancy was feeling restless to know if she was okay and not hurt severely.

"Nancy, am I not important to you? Don't your heart has any place for me...at all? I understand that you love our children and I don't even want to compare my importance with them. Because they are my blood as well. But now, you have reduced my importance to a point where I come after your patients? You are comparing me with your patients Nancy? I feeling very awkward and crestfallen right now." The more Charles thought about it, the more disheartened he became. He couldn't understand why Nancy was being so adamant these days.

"Charles, don't overreact. I can see that you are doing fine but I don't know how my patients are doing. Please understand that this is important." As Nancy spoke, she went and poured herself a glass of milk. After saying so, she drank up the milk in the glass and said to Bobby in a flat tone, "Bobby, you and Nadia have breakfast quickly. After breakfast, ask Daddy to take you to kindergarten."

"Daddy and Uncle Hiram have been taking us to kindergarten for so long but you never do. Mommy, can you at least pick us up from school today?" Bobby asked dejectedly.
