Sweet Twins

Charles sneered angrily, "Nancy, you won't agree to such an absurd and unreasonable request, will you?"

"Uh, I don't want you to lose your job, so... So..."

"You silly woman, why do you keep on saying 'yes' to everything? Since when have you become such a weakling?" Charles shouted vehemently in a loud voice.

Because Nancy had given her promise to his grandfather, she would definitely not go back on her words. If she did, his grandfather would probably be pissed off to death.

Moreover, it was not in her character to break her promise.

To Nancy, it seemed as if she had been wronged when she heard Charles scolding her.

She sniffed, feeling maligned. "I don't want to see your relationship with your grandfather take a turn for the worse. Besides, it's me he hates, not you. You are just being dragged down because of me, so I decided to agree to his request."

Charles snorted with anger, "Even if I leave the TS Group, I won't let you and the children starve. Do you think it would be difficult for me to find a job considering my resume? Besides, I have a lot of money on hand. You don't have to worry about anything when you are with me. Most importantly, you don't need to compromise to anyone, except me, of course."

"What do you mean by 'except you'? You are still as bossy and overbearing!" With a reproachful but mellow look, Nancy wrapped her arms around Charles's neck coaxingly and said in a very soothing voice, "Just think about it, your grandfather is already an old man. Yet, he acts as willful as a child. You can't take him seriously. If he gets angry and suddenly suffers from myocardial infarction, we will still be the ones who will worry and take care of him, won't we? I think your mother has a point. We have already been together for a long time. It doesn't matter anymore if we get married now or later. So, let's just comfort your grandpa for the meantime. This is also to show our filial piety as a younger generation."

"You are quite generous," Charles countered furiously. Despairingly, he added, "Have you also thought about how I would explain it to the children?"

"I've already started to explain it to them. I said I'm very busy recently... So I have no time left to think about getting married."

"But both the children will be very sad and disappointed, Nancy," Charles groaned pitifully.

"How about we hold a make-believe wedding at home to fool the children?" suggested Nancy after brainstorming for a solution for a while.

Her absurd idea was immediately turned down by Charles. "Do you think that Bobby and Nadia are so easy to fool just because they are still young? Naive, that's what you are. How can you be so naive?"

"It's you who are so naive. I am doing it for your sake, but you are still putting the blame on me. Oh, I see. It's ingrained in your genes because your family's genes like humiliating people. Your grandpa is just like that, and so is your mother. And you have inherited it from them as well..." Being blamed by Charles, Nancy felt even more aggrieved. As a result, tears welled up in her eyes and her emotions surged miserably.
