Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love
Chapter 572 Expectation

The kids fell asleep sooner than the previous night. It could be because Nancy was with them and they didn't miss her like earlier.

Once they fell asleep, Nancy got off the bed quietly.

Meanwhile, Charles was sulking in his bedroom. He felt so helpless for not being able to claim his wife and lost to his children. Although there was nothing wrong, he still felt defeated by two kids. Now there was no choice left for Charles than to wait. Time seemed to pass in a slow motion.

Charles felt immensely restless. He kept tossing and turning on the bed and waited impatiently for Nancy. A while later, the door was gently pushed open, and Nancy sneaked into the room. Charles heard the noise and hastily sat up, looking excited.

"Nancy," he exclaimed. "Nancy!" Nancy walked forward and spoke incoherently.

"What are you still awake? And why are you so excited?" She although knew what was going on inside Charles' head, she wanted Charles to say it by himself. Even though she pretended to be calm, her heart was beating extra fast at the excitement. Charles was overtly radiating passion through his enthusiasm.

"You know it pretty well that I missed you." Charles jumped off the bed and quickly walked over to Nancy. Without giving her much time to react Charles picked her up bridal style.

"Tell me, did you miss me? Did you miss me, Nancy?" Charles softly asked. His voice was full of adoration and love.

How could Nancy not miss him?

Their lives had been filled with the fear of separating from each other in the past. They had so many complications they had to overcome together. Her heart remembered all of them.

She perfectly knew the efforts Charles put in their relation. But, Nancy was no longer the one who got carried away and fell at a loss for every little thing.

People need to grow, and the price of growing comes from the experience through hardships.

She had faced hardships. She had experienced so much that now she didn't anymore care about many little things. Nancy had always been good at hiding despite it was work or relationship. "Do you want hear the truth or I should tell no?" said Nancy.

"That's not how a good girl should respond, Nancy. How dare you tease me?" Charles whispered into Nancy's ears before biting on her ear affectionately.

A soft moan left Nancy, "It's you who's teasing me right now. Tease me all you can, if you dare." As soon as Nancy said the words, she regretted saying them loud. Because she knew it perfectly that there were too many ways for Charles to tease her.

Wrong choice of words! But what said once couldn't be taken back. It was like spilling water which was impossible to reverse.

"Ah! Now that you have said it Nancy, that's what you're going to get. I'm really going to tease you now. You're at my mercy," Charles said satisfied with Nancy's words.

'Tm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. Charles..." Nancy tried to wiggle in his arms and exclaimed regretfully.

But Charles wasn't having it today. He was enjoying the feel of her against him so much. How could he listen to her now and let go of the golden chance? In fact, Charles found Nancy's pleas inviting.

A moment later Charles put her down and embraced her lovingly. To distract Charles, Nancy tried to switch their topic of conversation. "You haven't told me yet who else is involved in the arson case besides David," Nancy asked in a low voice, nestling closer in Charles' arms.

"I don't know yet. But David is the mastermind, that's for sure," said Charles seriously.

"I am suspecting Derrick. It's not like I hate him that's why I'm saying this, but I just think that Derrick is a narrow-minded and cruel man. If we won't teach him a lesson this time, I am afraid that he will do evil things in the future... again." This was exactly what Nancy was concerned about. She didn't care much about herself, but her children, they were vulnerable. If anything happened to them, Charles and Nancy would be under regret for the rest of their lives.

Charles however, didn't want to get Derrick involved, because even if Derrick was guilty, he couldn't do anything to Derrick for the sake of Frederic.

Even if Charles wanted to send Derrick to prison, as long as Frederic was alive, he would not let him do that.

Despite the number of crimes Derrick had committed, he was Charles' uncle and Frederic's son. Charles couldn't just overlook their blood relation. Therefore, when it came to the matter of Romantic Private Club kidnapping Nancy, Charles only thought of David and did nothing to go after Derrick. He actually avoided investigating into the case.

Now that Nancy mentioned it again, Charles rubbed between his eyebrows. "Nancy, I'm feeling tired. Let's sleep now."

After saying so, he let go of Nancy and turned away

from her.

The serious conversation had turned off Charles light and excited mood. His expression was now too serious. Nancy couldn't believe he would change his approach to her in just seconds. What did he think Nancy was?

A tool for having sex?

Nancy although understood Charles' difficulties, at this point she didn't feel like comforting him. When she reminded of the abuse she had to suffer along with other girls, she felt indignant. There was a saying that...

Everyone's equal according to the law. So, how could she favor a criminal considering their relation?

Nancy turned away from Charles.

Charles didn't expect that Nancy would be angry because of his words. Realizing he messed up and as consequences Nancy would now deliberately avoid him, he felt uncomfortable.

Nancy was the woman he swore to love all his life. It was painful to watch her hurting.

She was wronged and had to suffer a lot. How could he let her continue to suffer again?

Charles stayed quiet for a while then turned around and put his arms around her shoulders. "Nancy, are you angry with me?"

"No!" Nancy answered sternly.

Judging from her tone, it was evident that she was very angry right now.

Charles put his curled index finger below her chin then tipped her face up to look into her eyes and said softly, "Nancy, trust me. I will replace out the truth and won't let you suffer anymore." "Charles, all I am saying is, what if it has something to do with Derrick?" Nancy knew it quite well that if Charles was dealing with an issue, he would surely bring justice by subduing the bad guy. But now, as he was facing Derrick, he couldn't ignore the kinship between them and that was exactly what was bothering him.

Charles took a deep breath.

"I know, you're having difficulties to decide how to deal with the matter. Charles, I don't want to make things more difficult for you. That is why I've decided to investigate it myself!" Nancy uttered with a serious tone.

Charles smiled seeing her adamant side. "Nancy, for you, I can stand against anyone, even my family. In the past also, I stood against my grandpa and mother for you. Don't you remember?"

"Turning against each other doesn't mean that you will end your family relationship. But Derrick is different. I understand your concern that what you are facing is that if you send him to prison, he may be sentenced to death and you can't be ruthless. Because once you send Derrick in, you will face grandfather's hatred, father's disappointment, and there's a huge possibility that they'll isolate you. You are hesitant because you can't face their hatred. Am I right?" Nancy spilled the words directly.

Of course, this was what Charles was thinking of. This was the most normal reaction for anyone and not just Charles. At this kind of situation, it would be difficult for anyone else to make a choice. "Nancy, you're wrong. A bad person should be punished no matter what. But the law nowadays prioritizes evidence. We don't have any evidence against Derrick that can prove him guilty. So we have to investigate it slowly and you have to give me some time for that, Okay?" Charles coaxed Nancy softly.

It was true that Charles didn't know right now what to do and how to proceed. The situation definitely was pointing to Derrick. Unfortunately, he had no evidence now, and David was doing a great job to cover up for Derrick.

If Nancy remained determined, Derrick would be in trouble inevitably.

It was not that Charles was afraid to expose Derrick. Rather, he was fearing for Nancy. If she kept on digging deep and was able to pull Derrick out, there was no doubt that she'd be on the opposite side of Frederic and Hardy, and that was what was bothering Charles the most.

This was why Charles feeling concerned and upset.

"Okay, fine. I trust you. But you have to investigate it as soon as possible. Don't let me down!" Nancy grumbled.

"Okay," Charles sighed and replied in a low voice.
