Frowning, Charles nodded once, glancing at Nancy. "Okay, I'll send someone to investigate it. Nancy, let me handle it, Okay?"
"I don't need your help, Charles. I'll investigate it myself!" Nancy immediately refused in her determined voice.
"Nancy," Charles tried to reason with her, "you are already so busy with your work. Besides, the kids need you. They have been following you everywhere. How can you do it all by yourself?" Charles was doubtful if Nancy would be able to manage everything by her own.
"Concern of the kids doesn't bother me. Because I know you can take care of them pretty well while I'll be away." Nancy blinked at him reassuringly then leaned in and kissed on Charles' cheek, "Thank you, Honey. For always being there."
"Nancy, you..." Charles was both delighted and surprised, Is this for real? You are serious about this." He cupped her face with a swift motion then pulled her closer and pressed his lips on hers, closing the minimum distance between them.
A pretty blush crept up Nancy's face as she kissed him back and then smiled at him.
Charles was right. She indeed was serious about the criminals.
But, she couldn't let go the case of arson so easily. It wouldn't do justice if the case got closed vaguely.
If she let go of t
own woman after growing up. Then why are you separating me from mine?'
As the thought crossed his mind, Charles laughed at himself. What was he thinking about? He was being silly.
Nancy had promised to help him, so she should be able to find a way to come back to him. She would make the two children fall in sleep at ease.
Then, he could have her all to himself.
As he thought of this, Charles' lips curved at the corners sexily.
Nancy dealt with the smart children cleverly.
She bathed them with warm water which made the children lazy and sleepy.
Then she sang a lullaby to the kids.
The song had a lazy tune that she herself was on the brink of falling asleep.
"Mommy, you look tired." Nadia noticed that and pointed out sadly.
"Mommy, did you operate on the little patient today?" Bobby asked suddenly with concern.
In a daze, Nancy nodded, "Yes, I am feeling very tired. I know I am not giving you much time these days. I am very busy nowadays and there are many patients waiting for me to do their operation."
"Mommy, let's stop talking and go to sleep." Bobby took the book from Nancy's hand and put it down on the bedside table. Then he climbed on the bed and lay down beside Nancy obediently.
"Alright then." Nancy yawned lazily.
