Sweet Twins

Chapter 20 An Encounter With A Scum

Jay watched Nancy walk away and then he turned to Marcus. "Are you out of your mind? Mess with anyone you want, but never mess with the woman that Charles likes. That's asking for trouble."

"My apologies, Mr. Fang. How was I to know that the woman before me is Mr. Fu's favorite? I am truly sorry. That was wrong of me. Please forgive me," Marcus apologized humbly.

"Sheez," Jay sighed and shook his head. "Let's just go. It's too late for you to do anything about it now. If you have any further regrets, just go to the police station," Jay said to Marcus.

Nancy stared blankly out the window as she silently sat inside Charles' car. She was visibly in a state of shock.

"What's wrong?" Charles asked flatly.

"I came here for fun and met a bastard instead," Nancy replied casually.

But Charles was an observant man and he could tell if she was lying or not.

His eyes remained looking straight ahead. They looked emotionless and uncaring as he remained silent.

He felt bothered, as he suspected that Nancy was hiding something from him.

"What do you want to do? Go for a walk, watch a movie together or go home?" Charles asked in a hopeful tone of voice even though his face remained expressionless.

But since she still couldn't find her daughter, she wasn't interested in doing anything else.

The only thing that she wanted to do was to just go home, take a warm shower and then rest. She would plan for what else to do the next day.

"I just want to go home, Mr. Fu," Nancy replied nonchalantly.

The memory of getting her clothes stripped by the man beside her made her reflexively cover her breast area without realizing it.

She thought that it was best if she kept her distance from him.

Charles gritted his teeth behind tightly pressed lips that reflected his displeasure. He was visibly upset about something and he was doing everything he could not to suddenly burst out. There was nothing in the world that he wanted to do more than to hold her close to him and show her how much he loved her, but her rejection of him broke his heart to a thousand pieces. He turned to her and sneered at her like only a scorned lover could. "Tell me why. Why would you go alone to a bar like Shades but do not want to see a movie with me?"

Charles asked as displeasure echoed in his voice. He was so gentle with her when he spoke with her mere minutes ago. But his face now looked so grim and uncaring after she refused him.

But she felt so disappointed that she didn't want to talk with him or with anyone.

Charles drove to Nancy's apartment in silence as frustration gripped his heart.

Then without warning, his phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Angelina, Bobby's grandmother.

"Charles, you need to get back right now. Bobby is in a fit. I can't do anything to calm him down. Please get back as soon as you can." Angelina felt completely helpless watching Bobby throw a fit.

Bobby almost caught a cold because of her negligence the last time she was with him. So, she didn't dare to be careless again this time. But Bobby still suddenly became unruly.

"Why? What happened?" Charles asked impatiently.

"I have no idea. It just happened all of a sudden. Bobby kept saying that he wanted Daddy and Mommy. He sounded frustrated that he has no mother at all!" Angelina sighed helplessly.

As soon as she finished her words, Bobby threw a plate full of honeyed pineapple to the floor without warning.

Angelina was almost in tears when the loud crashing sound startled her. "What on earth is wrong with you, Bobby? Why are you suddenly like this?" Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

But Bobby didn't just threw a tantrum all of a sudden without reason.

The last time that Bobby had a tantrum was because Angelina didn't let him see Nancy.

But this time it was different.

It was because of a call between Angelina and Dorothy.

After Charles left, Angelina started asking him uncomfortable questions that made Bobby feel agitated.

"Honey, tell Grandma, is your Daddy hanging out with other women these days?"

Bobby turned a deaf ear to her question and ignored her.

"Baby, you can tell Grandma. I will buy your favorite toy if you tell me!"

"No way!" Bobby refused her without a second thought.

When her questions remained unanswered, she decided to call Dorothy.

"Hello, Auntie," Dorothy greeted sweetly.

"When will you come and visit, Dorothy? I already miss you so much," Angelina immediately said.

"Auntie, I will be there after I finish this movie. I will leave as soon as I am done. Has Charles been very busy lately?" Dorothy asked curiously.

Dorothy suspected that Charles kept himself away from her on purpose. Although he never really called her often before, he would still call her every once in a while. But it had been a month since he last called her.

Because of this, Dorothy felt uneasy. She was too arrogant to feel comfortable with being ignored.

"Yes, he has been busy all the time lately."

"Busy with work?" Dorothy asked more specifically.

"Oh, Dorothy, you know how I like you and I always want you to be with Charles. But now that he has Bobby, you have to adapt to that. And I must remind you that if a woman wants to win the heart of the man she loves, then she can't be temperamental," Angelina explained.

"I know you did all this for my own good, but I trust Charles," Dorothy remarked with a grim smile.

And Bobby represented a grudge that she had against Charles because he had a baby with another woman because of the shares.

"Okay. Come by as soon as you can. Bye," Angelina said ending her call with Dorothy.

"Bye, Auntie! Love you!" After they hang up the phone, Dorothy repeated his name over and over. "Charles, Charles, Charles..."

She thought that the woman that a man couldn't get easily was always the best girl for him.

Thus, she decided that she couldn't let Charles get her too easily.

And it was known that women who were too confident with themselves were the silliest of them all as well.

Angelina did not notice that Bobby stood next to her the entire time and listened to her conversation with Dorothy. He was shocked to discover that his own grandmother would call Dorothy on the phone and even ask her to come over as soon as possible.

And Bobby never liked Dorothy at all.

"Grandma, you can't let Dorothy come here," Bobby shouted angrily as soon as Angelina had put the phone down.

"Oh, who said I asked Dorothy to come here? It's just a phone call to a friend. Children don't know anything about adults' affairs at all, dear," Angelina grumbled at Bobby.

"I want my Mommy! My Mommy and my Daddy only! I don't want to see Dorothy!" Bobby screamed in frustration with both hands clenched into small balls of fists.

He then immediately shoved all the fragile porcelain cups on the table until they fell to the floor with a loud crashing sound to the surprise of Angelina.

"Ah, Bobby! That's a rare porcelain set that is extremely expensive. Can't you be careful?" Angelina said in a voice filled with despair. She immediately felt woeful as she stared at the broken pieces of porcelain on the floor.

"No!" Bobby protested as he walked on tiptoe towards the shelf and suddenly outstretched his hand to pull the vase down from the shelf.

The vase fell to the floor with a loud crashing noise that filled the room and drowned the rest of the words that Bobby was saying.

"Bobby!!!" Angelina exclaimed with tearful eyes. She felt so upset. The vase was a priceless antique, but Bobby dropped it to the floor like it was a toy. "I will call your father about this!" she exclaimed in frustration.

She immediately called Charles right after she spoke.

"What's wrong with Bobby?" Nancy asked worried.

Whether she wanted to admit it or not, Bobby was no longer just another kid to her anymore. She felt happy whenever Bobby was happy and she felt heartbroken whenever he was unhappy.

"Bobby misses you very badly!" Charles replied in a deep voice. He then took out a cigarette, lit it and then took a long pull at the cigarette. The car was cruising smoothly on the road and the cigarette helped Charles relax. He then blew the smoke out of the window of the car. He waited patiently for Nancy's decision.

Charles decided that this time, Nancy had to decide for herself what she would want to do after he told her about Bobby.
