Sweet Twins

Frowning, Charles nodded once, glancing at Nancy. "Okay, I'll send someone to investigate it. Nancy, let me handle it, Okay?"

"I don't need your help, Charles. I'll investigate it myself!" Nancy immediately refused in her determined voice.

"Nancy," Charles tried to reason with her, "you are already so busy with your work. Besides, the kids need you. They have been following you everywhere. How can you do it all by yourself?" Charles was doubtful if Nancy would be able to manage everything by her own.

"Concern of the kids doesn't bother me. Because I know you can take care of them pretty well while I'll be away." Nancy blinked at him reassuringly then leaned in and kissed on Charles' cheek, "Thank you, Honey. For always being there."

"Nancy, you..." Charles was both delighted and surprised, Is this for real? You are serious about this." He cupped her face with a swift motion then pulled her closer and pressed his lips on hers, closing the minimum distance between them.

A pretty blush crept up Nancy's face as she kissed him back and then smiled at him.

Charles was right. She indeed was serious about the criminals.

But, she couldn't let go the case of arson so easily. It wouldn't do justice if the case got closed vaguely.

If she let go of the bad guy this time, they could do harm the next time. Then what? She would let go of them again? This couldn't go on forever.

What if they started killing again? What would they do then? This had to stop.

Once they had their dinner, the kids looked at Nancy expectantly.

"Mommy, I want you to sleep with me tonight." Nadia insisted cautiously with her innocent voice.

"Yes, Mommy. I also want you to sleep with us tonight. I feel good and protected when you sleep by my side." Bobby agreed with Nadia.

"Okay. If you say so, I'll sleep with you tonight," Nancy happily agreed.

However, Charles disliked the proposal immediately. As soon as Nancy agreed, he interrupted with a displeased tone, "No way!"

The kids shifted their stares at him and asked with pouts, "Why?"

"You should understand this kids, that your Mommy is my wife now. If you keep her with you every night, it will make me sad. Well, immensely sad."

"But Daddy, you are an adult. You don't need Mommy's company at night. You can't get scared of nightmares. Can you?" Nadia asked innocently, blinking her cute eyes.

Realizing that the chance of Nancy being taken away again by the kids tonight was high, Charles felt very aggrieved.
