Sweet Twins

"I can convey your conditions to Charles, but as for letting him go back to work, you need to tell him personally." Nancy paused. "It's not appropriate for me to tell him about it."

"Why are you making things difficult for me?" Frederic raised his eyebrows and his blood began boiling again.

"No." Nancy thought for a while and said, "Charles is so hard-headed and you know that. Since he chose to leave the TS Group, how could he go back to work just because I told him to? You know your grandson better than me. Mr. Fu, if I ask Charles to go back, I don't think he'll listen. It will only make him more resistant, right?"

"Father, Nancy is right!" Angelina persuaded in a low voice, "You know Charles is so stubborn and he won't compromise easily. He won't come back just because Nancy says he can."

Frederic closed his eyes in frustration. He was so annoyed but he had to accept that they were right.

Why did they have to deliberately embarrass him?

But on the other hand, Charles' stubbornness was really the problem here. It was making this a lot more difficult than it needed to be.

Why did he hate Charles with such a passion?

In truth, Frederic felt a little bit of regret.

"Well, Nancy, you can go back now and figure out what happened to Derrick. Remember, don't team up with Charles to lie to me otherwise you know what will happen," Frederic threatened.

Nancy shrugged. "Okay, I see." Then she glanced at her watch and said, "I'm off duty now. If there's nothing else, I think I should go back."

Frederic snorted and looked away, saying nothing.

"Let's go," said Angelina. Angelina was overjoyed. Everything seemed to be going according to plan.

When Nancy exited, she felt a surge of pain in her stomach. She hunched over, clutching her tummy.

She wasn't used to the pain being so intense. It was the first time that it shook her to her core.

Even with this pain, the only thing she could think was that she couldn't believe that Frederic was so unreasonable.

On the way home, Nancy really wanted to call Charles to tell him what Frederic had said.

Would Charles be disappointed though?
