Nancy was so angry that she didn't call Charles. She decided to turn off her phone and go to sleep.
But to her surprise, not long after she lay down, she heard a gentle knock on the door.
Who else could it be except Charles?
Couldn't he give her a call? Why did he have knock at the door at this time?
Where was the doorbell?
Right. Nancy remembered that the doorbell was broken. But couldn’t he call her to avoid disturbing her neighbors?
Nevertheless, she didn't care about Charles anymore. So she covered her head with a quilt and let him knock until he got tired.
As much as Charles wanted to call Nancy, he had left his phone at home when he was in a rush to find the children. He thought Nancy would open the door for him right away. But he didn't expect that there would be no response from Nancy even after he had knocked for several times.
Did she fall asleep already? That fast?
"Sir, it's already half past eleven. Could you please stop knocking at the door?" The old lady living opposite to Nancy's unit was suffering from insomnia, so hearing the simultaneous knocks on the door made it more diff
eason. Don't think too much, okay? Now get dressed, wash your hands and have breakfast." As Nancy spoke, she gently rubbed Nadia's messy hair.
To stop herself from crying, Nadia blinked her big dough eyes.
"Mommy is also not a child, but you were taken away by bad guys, weren't you?"
What she said took Nancy by surprise.
It also made sense, so Nancy was a little speechless.
But how could a powerful man like Charles be taken away by the bad guys?
Moreover, she was certain that no one in this city would dare to abduct him.
Thinking of this, Nancy felt relieved. "Nadia, Mommy is a woman, and Daddy is a man. I mean, Daddy is more powerful than me. Bad guys wouldn’t dare to take Daddy away, understand?"
"If Daddy is so powerful, then why doesn't Mommy want Daddy?" Her little voice was full of grievance.
"No, no, no. Mommy didn't abandon Daddy. We just have a little misunderstanding. There's a problem, and we need to solve it. Mommy and Daddy haven't come up with a solution yet, so we need some time to think of a way to solve it. That's all. Nadia, do you understand?" Nancy explained patiently.
