Sweet Twins

Charles was also angry. He knew that his grandpa had been stereotyping Nancy, but he didn't expect that his grandpa thought so badly of her.

Nancy was just an innocent bystander in the Fu family politics. If she never met him and never gave birth to children for him, would she be facing such criticism?

Charles felt sorry for Nancy. He believed that she had suffered a lot of grievances because of him.

So he took out his phone and called Nancy.

Nancy didn't go to work today. This afternoon, she went to the kindergarten to pick up the children.

She then went to the supermarket to buy the crayfish that Charles liked. She also bought the children's favorite: chicken feet and chicken wings. Along with them, she bought some spareribs, codfish, vegetables, and so on. She wanted to make a rich dinner.

When Charles called her, Nancy had just returned home. Nadia and Bobby got out of the car and shouted out of habit, "Uncle Edward, we're back."

In the past, it was Edward who picked up the children. Nancy forgot to tell the children that Edward wasn't here. So she would be the one picking them up.

Hearing the children's shout, Nancy remembered this little detail. She answered while carrying bags, "Children, Uncle Edward is not here."

Nadia and Bobby stopped dead in their tracks. The two kids turned around and asked in unison, "Where is Uncle Edward?"

"Well..." Nancy touched her nose and said, "Uncle Edward has gone abroad."

"Why? Doesn't Uncle Edward like us anymore?" Nadia asked with a frown.

"No, he has something to do—"

"This is also his home. Mommy, why did Uncle Edward leave?" Bobby, still a kid, but a little more mature, asked in confusion.

"Maybe... There's something that he needs to resolve, or maybe he has a girlfriend; she asked him to come back. Well, I don't know what exactly happened. Can you two stop asking?" Keeping the children in the dark about her marriage with Edward seemed like a good idea... at that time.
