Chapter 572 Expectation

The kids fell asleep sooner than the previous night. It could be because Nancy was with them and they didn't miss her like earlier.

Once they fell asleep, Nancy got off the bed quietly.

Meanwhile, Charles was sulking in his bedroom. He felt so helpless for not being able to claim his wife and lost to his children. Although there was nothing wrong, he still felt defeated by two kids.

Now there was no choice left for Charles than to wait. Time seemed to pass in a slow motion.

Charles felt immensely restless. He kept tossing and turning on the bed and waited impatiently for Nancy. A while later, the door was gently pushed open, and Nancy sneaked into the room.

Charles heard the noise and hastily sat up, looking excited.

"Nancy," he exclaimed. "Nancy!" Nancy walked forward and spoke incoherently.

"What are you still awake? And why are you so excited?" She although knew what was going on inside Charles' head, she wanted Charles to say it by himself. Even though she pretended to be calm, her heart was beating extra fast at the excitement. Charles was overtly radiating passion through his enthusiasm.

"You know it pretty well that I missed you." Charles jumped off the bed and quickly walked over to Nancy. Without giving her much time to react Charles picked her up bridal style.

"Tell m

ds directly.

Of course, this was what Charles was thinking of. This was the most normal reaction for anyone and not just Charles. At this kind of situation, it would be difficult for anyone else to make a choice.

"Nancy, you're wrong. A bad person should be punished no matter what. But the law nowadays prioritizes evidence. We don't have any evidence against Derrick that can prove him guilty. So we have to investigate it slowly and you have to give me some time for that, Okay?" Charles coaxed Nancy softly.

It was true that Charles didn't know right now what to do and how to proceed. The situation definitely was pointing to Derrick. Unfortunately, he had no evidence now, and David was doing a great job to cover up for Derrick.

If Nancy remained determined, Derrick would be in trouble inevitably.

It was not that Charles was afraid to expose Derrick. Rather, he was fearing for Nancy. If she kept on digging deep and was able to pull Derrick out, there was no doubt that she'd be on the opposite side of Frederic and Hardy, and that was what was bothering Charles the most.

This was why Charles feeling concerned and upset.

"Okay, fine. I trust you. But you have to investigate it as soon as possible. Don't let me down!" Nancy grumbled.

"Okay," Charles sighed and replied in a low voice.
