Sweet Twins
Chapter 27 Where Is Mommy

Jay felt helpless.

"Charles, there isn't much information available about her. By the way, why do you investigate her now? Do you suspect her of having some ulterior motives or some hidden secrets?" Jay asked cautiously. Charles ground his fingers and thought, 'She having a baby should certainly be a secret.'

Otherwise, why would she hide the truth from him?'

Surrounded by rage and anxiety, Charles suddenly yelled at Jay, "Well, if I knew it, I wouldn't be asking you to investigate it, would I?"

Jay trembled.

He knew that Charles was a cold man, but he was sure that he wasn't someone who liked to roar. But now, he roared at him just for the sake of a girl. Really?

'Is it the same Charles I knew?'

"Okay, Charles, take it easy. Don't be so anxious. I assure you that the only thing I will do tomorrow is to investigate her for you, all right?" Jay promised Charles with a laugh. He knew very well that he should never provoke a man who was in a fit of rage. Though he tried to cool him down, Charles' rage made him quite uncomfortable.

"Okay," Charles agreed in a low voice. Perhaps realizing he was out of control, Charles said, "Jay, I need you to replace out where she is now."

"Certainly. That's easy! I'll do it right now!" Jay said, as sweat broke out on his forehead.

'Alas, it seems that Charles really cares about Nancy.

Or else, he would never have been so emotional.'

It turned out that the men in love were always swayed by anxiety.

Even a sensible and learned man like Charles who enjoyed great respect in the society, behaved just as an ordinary man when he was in love. Ten minutes later, Jay rang up Charles again.

"Charles, Nancy and Ethan are having a barbecue at the seaside. Do you need someone to take her to you?" Jay said, with a smug smile. Finally, he accomplished something that Charles asked him to do.

"No." Charles squinted dangerously.

"Well, you sound like you are in a bad mood at the moment. How about we go to the bar for a drink?" Jay asked tentatively.

Charles, however, just hung up without answering him.

"Hey, wha... Huh, Charles..." Jay was so angry that he almost said some dirty words.

'Ethan... Nancy...

Did Nancy have a child with Ethan?

Or is it someone else?'

This question spread like a poisonous vine around Charles' heart, causing his blood to flow back, and making him feel depressed and even hard to breathe. With each passing second, his agony only increased. "Daddy, would you like to have dinner?" Bobby could not remember how many times he had been asking his daddy to come for dinner.

'Daddy is an adult, but I wonder why is he still acting childishly like me? Humph!' Bobby sighed.

Finally, Charles opened the door.

Bobby kept his eyes wide open and stared at his daddy. What was wrong with his daddy? He definitely looked broken.

His eyes were red, and his face was dark. He was as gloomy as a dark cloud.

"Daddy... Are you hungry?" Bobby asked in a low voice.

He had never seen his dad like this before.

"No, I'm not hungry. Bobby, go to your grandma," Charles said coldly, and then went downstairs.

He grabbed his clothes from the cloakroom and walked out without looking back.

Sitting at the dining table along with his grandma, Bobby sighed, with his hands on his cheeks.

"What happened to you and your daddy?" Angelina asked while filling a bowl of porridge for Bobby.

Bobby shook his head and said, "Oh, he's a man in love... So pathetic."

"Nonsense, when did your daddy fall in love?" Angelina asked, glaring at him.

"Grandma, you're too old to know what young people are thinking about. So, better don't ask. Just let Daddy go to Mommy." Bobby thought that his daddy must have gone to see Mommy. However, to his surprise, when he just finished his words, he saw Charles coming back in from outside, angrily.

"Daddy, you are back? So you didn't go to Mommy?" Bobby asked, his voice down with disappointment.

His instinct told him that his daddy missed Mommy a lot.

Therefore, he decided not to badger him, so that Daddy and Mommy could have some time alone. But why did Daddy come back suddenly? Was Daddy going to give up Mommy?

He couldn't!

"Why should I go to her now?" Charles sat down on a chair, grabbed a glass of water and drank it in a single gulp.

"Daddy, what if my mommy is taken away by a bad man when you are not along with her?" Bobby asked worriedly, with a cute frown on his face.

"Bobby, you are just a kid. Don't meddle with your dad's business." Angelina guessed that Charles must be crazy to be obsessed with the girl named Nancy. Thus, she detested Nancy even more.

Charles pushed the bowl away irritably and left without saying a word.

"Your daddy... I don't understand. Is he crazy?" Angelina was speechless. Her heart ached to see her son be like a trapped beast. Where was his grace of being a CEO? Bobby nodded and said, "I think your words make sense, Grandma."

Then there was the noise of the car being driven away from the yard.

Bobby thought that his daddy had finally made up his mind to go to see his mommy. He surmised he would see his mommy after a while.

And that made him quite happy.

As soon as he left the dining table, he heard a car screech to a halt in the courtyard.

"It should be Uncle Jay," he said to himself as he walked out of the dining room.

"Daddy, you, not again!" Bobby was surprised. What happened to his father?

'Daddy is acting quite strange. He has been out and back twice. It means he wants to go to Mommy. But why is it so difficult for him to do it?' Bobby thought.

Then, Charles went upstairs quickly.

"Daddy!" Bobby shouted at once.

Charles finally stopped.

"Take me to Mommy. I want to see what she is doing." Seeing his father tossing and turning in front of him, Bobby was disappointed.

Alas, it was better for him to go.

"Fine," said Charles, turning around and walking downstairs slowly.

Right now, Charles was entangled in a dilemma. He really wanted to see Nancy, but he restrained himself as Nancy was with Ethan. Moreover, he didn't know what to say when he saw Nancy. The baby thing was like a fishbone that got stuck in his throat. He wanted to ask her about it but didn't know how.

The flame of jealousy that rose in his chest was about to devour his reason.

"Daddy, do you know where Mommy is now?" Bobby, however, remained very calm.

"I don't know." Charles would never tell it to Bobby that Nancy was having fun with Ethan by the seaside. He was already very jealous, so he didn't want his son too to share his feelings.

"You don't know?" Bobby was surprised. Again, he felt disappointed at his powerful daddy. "Well, let's wait for her near her apartment. I know her well. She won't sleep outside." 'Sleep outside?'

That word struck hard in his heart. Without saying anything, he drove directly to the downstairs of Nancy's apartment.
