Sweet Twins

"Charles, I don't think there are human traffickers as beautiful as her," Jay said in a whisper. His eyes had never left Nancy's face since he came in.

He had never seen anyone so beautiful and graceful before.

Jay was completely stunned that he couldn't even move from where he was when he saw the woman!

"Are you kidding me? You have stayed with those stupid women for far too long, Jay. Have you ever seen any one of those bad guys with the words 'bad guy' written clearly on their faces?" Charles waved his hand dismissively despite what Jay said. "You can take the people back and tell my mom that Bobby has been found and is safe. I'll bring him home later."

"OK. Got it!" Jay shrugged as he stole a glance at Nancy. There was an unmistakable smile on his face. "Let's go, hurry up! You're getting the way! You don't know anything and you can't do anything."

Jay ranted for no reason. He was apparently upset when he realized that Charles would stay. Jay was worried that if Charles and Nancy developed something between them, then he would have no chance anymore.

Alas! Jay felt so demoralized.

Bobby smiled like he was the happiest person in the world. He gave Charles a kiss on the cheek with a smile. "Mommy looks so beautiful, doesn't she?" he asked in his childish voice.

"No. Don't call her Mommy ever again. Do you hear me?" Hearing Bobby say the word "mommy" got on Charles' nerves. The little guy understood the relationship between a mother and a father, and yet he chose to call her so and in an intimate way too.

"Mommy said that I could call her Mommy if no one else is around. And you're my daddy, not an outsider, so, that means I can call her Mommy," Bobby explained with a childish grin.

"Defending yourself, huh?" Charles asked sarcastically. "Humph! Of course!"

"Sir, he is just a kid. He will let go of it after a while. It's late now. He should go to bed." Nancy prepared Bobby's bed and accompanied him there.

"I want Mommy to sleep with me," Bobby demanded as he wrapped his small arms around Nancy's neck.

Charles frowned. He was displeased with the situation. It was the first time that he had seen Bobby become so demanding of something and dependent on someone. He grew up as very independent since he was a child. He was always distant to his nanny, grandmother, and even to his father.

He was acting totally foolish at that moment with Nancy.

Nancy took a brief glance at Charles, and she immediately felt anxious because of his aura that exerted an invisible force that made her feel pressured even if he simply stood there.
