Beads of sweat appeared on Charles' forehead when the two children quizzed him. "Okay, look."

He placed the book on the sofa.

Bobby and Nadia picked it up and opened it eagerly.

"Oh, it's a tadpole!"

"Yes, Daddy. Did you buy a storybook about the tadpoles who were looking for their mommy?" Bobby asked.

"Yes, you both were like these cute tadpoles that were trying to replace their mommy," said Charles.

"Hey, Bobby, look, this tadpole runs so fast!" Nadia pointed at the tadpole in the book.

"Yes, it will become a frog if it runs this fast!" Bobby answered seriously.

"Bobby, keep on reading. It's not a frog but rather a baby!" Charles explained patiently.

"Daddy, why does the tadpole become a baby?" Nadia asked curiously.

Charles sighed, "Come on, kids. Let me tell you something interesting!"

Then he sat down on the sofa.

"Okay!" Both the kids stopped what they were doing and sat down beside him.

Nancy sneaked a peek a saw the three of them leaning in together happily.

The children were all ears to what Charles had to say. They would ask a question or two occasionally. Then Charles would awkwardly reply to them.

Sometimes Bobby laughed heartily, and sometimes he gave a frown, showing a very conflicted expression. He mustn't have liked the explanation Charles gave. Knowing that the children were almost finished asking their questions, Nancy slowly put the food on the table. "Children, it's time for dinner!"

"Daddy, why does the baby stay in Mommy's belly for so long?"

Although Bobby was done asking the questions, Nadia still had a few queries that remained unanswered.

Charles was unsure as to what to do. He thought that talking to the children was much more complicated than communicating with the clients.

"Kids, we still have to watch the TV. Hurry up and eat because the show will start at any moment! Then Charles changed the topic.

"Yes, I almost forgot about the show. Kids, let's have dinner now. I really want to see what we look like on the TV!" Nadia slipped off from the sofa and ran towards the bathroom. "I want to see it as well. Nadia, wait for me!" Bobby ran after her sister.

Nancy gave a smile as she looked at a tired Charles.

Charles shrugged and said in a low voice, "Nancy, how about we have a little brother or sister for the children? I think answering their questions is the most difficult thing in the world!" Nancy retorted, "You wish!"

Charles gently put his arm around Nancy's shoulder and said, "Nancy, I've made up my mind. I'm going to ask my grandfather and mother first. If they don't mind, I want us to get married!" "I haven't decided yet!" Nancy faltered.

"I've made up my mind! That's it!" Charles said overbearingly.

"Bossy, overbearing, humph!" Nancy smiled and rolled her eyes at him.

The TV show started at eight o'clock.

As the president of the TS Group, Charles was an influential man.

His sudden appearance on TV with Nancy and the children undoubtedly caused a great uproar.

"Why is he on the news every other day? Yesterday, it was reported that he was caught flirting with a woman in the car. How unambitious Nancy is?"

"Money is quite something, huh! Any woman would be reluctant to let go of a man as rich as Charles!"

"Hey, stop it! Why is the woman in the car wearing the same clothes as Nancy?"

"Oh, really? Nancy and the mystery woman in the car are the same people?" "Yes, it's true!"

Sitting on the sofa and watching Charles and Nancy on the TV, Anna gnashed her teeth in anger.

David found the remote of the TV lying around, picked it up and turned the television off.

"Anna, what's wrong with you? Why do you look at Charles with such resentment? What did he ever do to you? Don't you know who he is? Why do you hate him? Or." David frowned and continued, "Or, did he do something that affected you in any way?"

David and Drew weren't alike. David had a precise estimation of himself. He knew quite well about the relationship between Charles and Nancy, so he never wanted Anna to go against Nancy.

When Anna first started working in the hospital, he wanted her to be Nancy's assistant.

Anna agreed initially. But David didn't expect certain events to unfold in the manner that they did.

David scolded his daughter. Anna replied righteously, "If I follow Nancy, I will never achieve what I set out to achieve. Why should I follow her?"

"You should follow her to learn from her. What can you learn from Jessie?"

"Humph, you know, after getting my bachelor degree, I have studied for my doctorate for several years. It's not easy for me to graduate, and I don't want to study with Nancy anymore. Besides, I'm not as young as I used to be!" Anna shouted angrily.

What she said wasn't entirely unreasonable. It was widely acknowledged that the medical students spent the longest time medical school.

Thus, David had to agree with Anna's decisions.

He had also inquired about Jessie's background. David knew Jessie was a woman with no background. Therefore, he met Charles and proposed to let Anna take over Jessie's position as soon as possible. Charles didn't say yes at that moment.

"Anna, don't go against Nancy. She is under the protection of Charles. If you hurt her, you might land in hot water. It's not worth the trouble!" David warned.

Anna stood up angrily and went upstairs. "I think with my qualifications, I am the best doctor in the whole of the pediatric department in the hospital!" "Keep a low profile!" David exhorted.

Anna sneered.

"Alas, if you don't listen to me, you will suffer losses sooner or later. You will pay for your arrogance!" David sighed and shook his head.

But to his surprise, his words came true sooner than expected.

On the second day, all the mainstream media spoke highly of Charles.

Consequently, the stock price of the TS Group immediately soared.

This was precisely what Charles wanted.

Perhaps at this moment, several shareholders who had doubts about him couldn't be happier. After all, they all were very fond of money.

Nancy came to work the very next day.

There were many patients waiting for her. She was busy in the outpatient department the whole morning, and it wasn't until the afternoon that she came to the general ward.

"Nancy, I watched you on the TV yesterday. Are you going to marry Mr. Fu?" Jessie immediately came up to her and asked with a smile.

Jessie was a typical fence sitter. If Charles was to dump Nancy, her attitude towards Nancy would have been the absolute opposite of what it was now.
