Sweet Twins

Chapter 608 Hypocrite

The shop owner's suspicious gaze made Charles a little uncomfortable. "Sir, I want to ride on your scooter. I'll give..."

"Ten times money of the scooter, right? You are a fraud. I won't believe you anymore. Give me back the steamed buns and you can't ride my scooter away. Humph, nowadays people are really hypocritical. If you don't have money, then work to earn some. There is no way you can deceive me." As soon as the shop owner finished his words, he reached out to grab the steamed buns from Charles' hand.

It was beyond Charles’ imagination that he would look helpless in front of a stranger one day. "I'm telling the truth. How can you not believe me?"

"Do you have any evidence to prove that you are rich?" The shop owner raised his chin and stared at Charles.

Confident that he would believe him if he said his name, Charles said, "My name is Charles Fu."

However, the shop owner only looked at him, confused.

"I don't know that name."

What he said left Charles dumbfounded. How could there be someone in the city who didn't know Charles? Even if this shop owner was not part of the elites, he should’ve at least seen Charles on TV or read his name on the news, right? But it turned out that he didn’t know him. It was strange!

Left without a choice, Charles took off his watch and said, "This watch is worth two million dollars. I'll leave it to you for the meantime, but don't lose it. When I have time, I'll take some money to redeem it."

"Are you sure you won’t fool me?" His eyes fell on the watch cunningly. No matter how ignorant he was, he could see the diamonds inlaid in the gold watch. It didn't look fake at all.

"I won't fool you," said Charles.

In the end, the shop owner carefully took the watch from Charles' hand. "Well, I'll believe you for once. I'll keep the watch here temporarily. You can have it back once you give me the money."

"Okay, it's settled then." As soon as their conversation ended, Charles walked towards the scooter.

It was a smooth ride. Charles fortunately didn’t have a hard time when he rode it.

It didn't even look like it was his first time to ride on it.

As he rode this scooter, the cold wind hit his face. The feeling was entirely different when he was driving his car.

At this time, Nancy had already taken the kids to the kindergarten after buying steamed buns and hot porridge for their breakfast. When they reached the kindergarten, she handed the breakfast to the teacher and asked her to assist the kids with their breakfast.

The teacher didn't refuse. She repeatedly told Nancy to put her mind at ease.

Before she left, Nancy thanked the teacher with a smile and then she drove straight to the hospital.

It took twenty minutes for Charles to arrive at the hospital on his scooter.

The people were all shocked to see him riding a scooter, but Charles had no time to care about this.

They couldn't understand why Charles did this. If the public knew it, he would be a laughingstock. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Fortunately, there was no paparazzi here, and no one had taken pictures of Charles riding a scooter.

When Angelina was about to go back to the hospital building after buying breakfast, she saw a man rushing towards her on a scooter.

Instinctively, she moved aside and complained, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

However, Charles didn't see her at all. All he wanted to do now was to look for Nancy that he couldn’t care about anything else.

"No. Why does his back look like that of Charles?" Angelina murmured to herself in confusion.

"No! It’s not similar to Charles’. He is Charles!" As soon as she realized this, Angelina shouted, "Charles, what are you doing? You are the president of TS Group. Why did you come to the hospital on a scooter? People who don't know the matter will think that TS Group will go bankrupt."

Only then did Charles realize that his mother was behind him.

He stopped the scooter and said, "Mom, I have something to talk about with Nancy."

Frowning, Angelina scolded, "What's up? No matter how important it is, you shouldn't have come here by a scooter! Charles, if your grandfather saw it, he would have been mad. He might’ve passed out!" Alas, her son's standard of living had been dropping since he met Nancy.

Never in her wildest dream that she imagined his son to appear in front of her on a scooter.

"Well, my grandfather didn’t see it. I'm going upstairs now, Mom." Without waiting for her reply, Charles rushed to the elevator.

"Didn't you buy us the steamed buns?" Angelina asked.

"No, you prepare the breakfast by yourselves. Nancy hasn't had breakfast yet. Well, I haven't eaten either." The elevator closed right after Charles finished his words.

With a sigh, Angelina muttered, "Charles! When you have your wife, you forget your mother."

She and Hardy stayed in the hospital every day. Although most of the time, the servants brought them food, she didn't want to stay here any longer.

However, Frederic's condition was serious.

So, they couldn’t leave him alone.

How long had it been since the last time Charles came here? It had been several days. It seemed that Charles didn't come to visit Frederic this time.

Although she was a bit angry, she was not in the mood to ask Charles. So, she took the breakfast box and went straight to Frederic's room.

As soon as Nancy came out of Finn's room, she saw Charles coming over with the cartons of steamed buns in his hand.

When Nancy turned around and was about to leave, Charles immediately stopped her.

Gritting his teeth, Charles asked, "Nancy, I can't believe it. How could you leave me in the middle of the road? Are the children so calm to accept what you have done? Didn't they blame you for throwing away their beloved Daddy?"

With a snicker, Nancy put her hands in the pockets of her doctor's coat and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu. It's almost new year, and there are many patients, so I took the children away before I could tell you. As for the children, I think they understand my field of work, so they naturally didn't hold me accountable for leaving you halfway."

Of course, it was a lie,

Along the way, Nadia kept chattering, "Mommy, you've lost daddy. What if we can't find him in the future?"

The two kids never stopped talking about Charles, which made Nancy angry. "I'll find a good one for you."

"Mommy, but I don't think there’s anyone else in this world that is better than Daddy. Let's go back and find Daddy, okay?" Bobby looked back at Charles until his tall figure got smaller, and finally became a small black dot.

It broke his heart to think that his father was left alone.

"I also think Daddy is the best in the world," Nadia said in a low voice.

While her eyes were fixed in front, Nancy replied, "If you think your Daddy is a good man, you can choose to stay with him. I’m not forcing you to come with me."

After he sat back on his seat properly, Bobby asked, "But we want both Daddy and Mommy. What should we do?"

"Bobby, even though Daddy and I are separated, it doesn't mean that I am also separated from you. I will pick you up from school and bring you to our apartment. If I have time, I will take you to the zoo and so on..." A reassuring smile appeared on Nancy’s face.

However, it was not enough to coax the children. "But we still don't want Daddy and Mommy to be separated."

"That's because you are still young. When you grow up, you will know why Daddy and Mommy are not together. Love is very complicated. You will understand it when you grow up," Nancy patiently explained.

As much as she didn't want to hurt the children's hearts, the problem she was facing now was definitely not only about love.
