Sweet Twins

Chapter 418 Having Experienced Too Much

Jay started begging for mercy. He said hastily, "Oh, honey. It's all up to you! It doesn't matter to me."

"There you go." Doris complacently released her grip on his ear.

Everyone had their specific personalities and temperament. When it came to Doris and Jay, they were like two naughty children in their relationship. That didn't mean that they were immature people. In fact, it actually implied optimism and open-mindedness.

These traits of Jay came from living a life full of advantages and was often untroubled. Naturally, he couldn't grasp or understand the idea that the world was surrounded by a myriad of sadness and sorrow.

The reason why Doris had those traits was because of all the hardships that she had experienced in her past. As she always had prodigious courage pushing inside her to take the next step, naturally, she had to wear an armor of bravery.

By now, Nancy could still feel a dull pain throbbing at her wound.

When Nancy found out that Edward was going abroad, she was undoubtedly shocked.

Of course, she didn't want Edward to leave.

"Edward, why are you deciding to leave all of a sudden? The children adore you. They'll surely be unhappy if you leave." Since Edward came back in their lives, the two children seemed to have found an amazing playmate. Every day, whenever the kids came back from school, they would circle around Edward like two cute little birds, twittering relentlessly.

If the kids were doing the same to Nancy, she would surely lose her patience.

If Edward suddenly left, she didn't know how the kids would handle losing such a fun uncle.

Edward looked at Nancy meekly and said, "I have to go back to take care of some things. Nancy, I want to apologize. I registered for marriage without your knowledge and now it's causing you all sorts of trouble. I'm really sorry."

Nancy shrugged and said, "I don't blame you for that."

"I know..." Edward released a deep sigh and said, "Would you like to help me pack my belongings? I will make sure to come back as soon as I can. I don't want to leave the children behind. Neither do I want to leave... you."

Nancy awkwardly scratched her head and said, "Edward, you should find a woman to bring back here as soon as possible. There are so many better woman out there in the world."

"Really? I haven't met her yet. How about you find one for me?" Actually, Edward had attempted several times before. He had even tried dating online. However, every time he met with any one of them, he would always be disappointed.

Once, he even found a girl who was decent, and asked her to meet up for some coffee in a cafe.

When they met up, within two minutes, Edward had already spaced out. His mind was cluttered with images of Nancy talking and laughing. By the end of it, he couldn't even remember a single thing that the girl said to him.

It was apparent that the girl was disappointed from their date, and so was he. The result was predictable and unavoidable.

The two of them parted ways in discord.

Edward figured that it was better to rely on destiny instead. If he couldn't find the right woman, he didn't have to force himself to find one.

"Okay, I'll agree to that. If ever I come across a suitable girl, I will tell you right away," Nancy said sternly with a straight face.

Out of everyone else, it was Nancy who wanted for Edward to meet an extraordinary woman the most.

"Ha! Nancy, you're too kind," Edward said bitterly as he gave Nancy a warm hug.

For some reason that she couldn't figure out, Nancy became as stiff as a board.

"I'm going to help you pack up. Promise me that you'll come back as soon as you can." Nancy hastily ran into Edward's room.

Despite spending so many years being close friends, they had never hugged each other so affectionately.

The moment that he held her, she felt her face burn and flush red from embarrassment.

He only hugged her as her brother.

"Ah, this silly girl..." said Edward adoringly.

Nancy packed his luggage fairly quickly and even told him that she wanted to drive Edward to the airport. However, he firmly refused. Edward looked into her eyes with deep, brooding eyes that hid many secret emotions. "You're injured, Nancy. I can just take a taxi," he insisted.

"Well then. Edward, I hope you have a safe flight." Nancy sent Edward out.

"Both you and Charles have the key to this house. The two of you can live here and treat it like your own home," said Edward as he took one last look at the familiar courtyard.

"Thank you. I'm just going to follow Charles and the kids. I'll live wherever they want to."

"Oh? When did the naughty and headstrong Nancy become so obedient?" Edward said jokingly.

"I've always been a gentle and obedient woman, okay?" said Nancy in a lovely manner.

Edward nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah. You've always been very gentle."

She turned into a beautiful, docile woman, as soon she had encountered a good, loving relationship.

Charles went straight back into his office after hanging up on a phone call.

After less than an hour, he checked up on his mobile phone for updates and saw detailed articles about his press conference. They were all posted by various internet news platforms.

It seemed that based on the comments, everyone was supportive towards him.

There was a large number of people supporting Charles and telling him not to worry about Derrick.

It turned out that Nancy truly was in love with Charles, not Edward. The media also clarified the true origins of Nadia.

Nadia was an illegitimate daughter.

But she was Charles' daughter. Now that Charles claimed to be her father, no one else would dare to bring it up again.

With this kind of man's power and influence, he had the ability to block off any public opinion that was unfavorable to him.

Derrick had already lost in the game before he was able to wake up. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

He was ruthlessly defeated by Charles.

"Look, Father. I told you that Charles would never deliberately cause a car accident to hurt Derrick. He has already tackled all the concerns on the media." Angelina showed Frederic through her phone as soon as she came across it.

As he wore a pair of reading glasses, Frederic read the article in front of him. The more he read, the more infuriated he became.

He pushed Angelina's hand away and scowled, "How dare you believe what Charles just said?"

"Father, he is your grandson. If you can't believe in him, then who else are you going to believe?" Angelina concernedly asked in a low voice.

"I don't believe I can trust anyone anymore. All of you simply value your own interests. It seems that family relations don't seem to matter anymore. In your eyes, our family's relationship is simply worthless. Am I right?" Frederic scoffed in a torrent of rage before he carried himself out of bed.

"Father, where are you going? Charles said that Derrick is his uncle and would never do anything to hurt him. Please, I hope you do your part to trust Charles. Okay?" Angelina pleaded helplessly.

Of course, Frederic was unwilling to listen to her at this point. He shouted at her, "Leave me alone. I'm going to Charles myself."

"Of course, you can go visit him. I'll call him now and ask him to see you right away." Angelina took out her phone swiftly and turned on her phone to dial Charles' number.

The reason why she was so flustered was because she was worried about getting into trouble. As the daughter-in-law of the Fu family, she had a responsibility to take care of Frederic. Hardy was in a different ward taking care of Derrick, so she was left to take care of Frederic alone. If anything happened to him, she didn't know how she would be able to explain it to Hardy.

Besides, Derrick hadn't even woken up yet. If he woke up and found out that something happened Frederic, Derrick might accuse Angelina for murdering him.

Now, Angelina was forced to always be on guard as to avoid getting involved in Derrick's insidious and cunning behaviors.

"Don't you dare call that bastard. The press conference was held in the TS Group, so it means that Charles is there. This loser even has the guts to sit next to Edward. What the hell is he doing? He is Nancy's husband. Hasn't Derrick already said it? It has already been proven that the man is legally married to Nancy. Damn it, Charles! Why had I never known that he was such a cowardly man before? I'm so pissed!" The more Frederic spoke, the more enraged he became. He knocked fiercely on the ground with his crutch.
