Chapter 627 Boring Waiting

Charles looked at Jessie nervously.

"Director Nancy is... Is she there?" Not knowing what he meant, Jessie had a hard time responding to
them.

And seeing Charles' troubled eyes made her more confused. What was she supposed to say?

"Director Jessie, you must have been too busy to see her. But Director Nancy has an operation, and
she's still in the operating room. Nadia is looking for her Mommy, so we wanted to ask you if Director's
operation will end soon. Otherwise, Mr. Fu and Nadia will have to go home first. Children will be bored
if they wait too long. Besides, Nadia is sick. She needs to rest." As she spoke, Erin kept winking at
Jessie.

It was only then that Jessie realized what Erin was trying to say. "Ah! Oh, yes, Director Nancy has an
operation, but it seems like it isn't over yet. I'm afraid it may take some time. So, Nadia, don't wait for
Mommy here any longer. Don't worry. When she gets off work this afternoon, I'll tell her to go home
early to accompany you, okay?"

"Really? Aunt?" There were tears already threatening to fall in the corners of Nadia’s eyes.

"Hmm. How could Auntie lie to a child?’ To make it more convincing, Jessie kept a serious expression
on her face.

However, she felt sorry in her heart because she just lied to a child.

It was making her feel guilty!

"Okay, Auntie. I'll wait a little longer. If Mommy hasn't finished the operation, I'll go home with Daddy."
At this moment, Nadia was almost crying out.



Anyone who heard it would feel sorry for Nadia.

Therefore, Jessie bent down and asked, "Oh, my good girl. Okay, do you need me to accompany you?"

Shaking her head, Nadia replied, "Auntie, I know it's exhausting to perform an operation. So, so ahead
and have a meal. Daddy and I will wait here."

"Good girl, Nadia!"

After saying goodbye to Charles and Erin, Jessie left them.

However, Jessie couldn't help but think about Nadia's expectant eyes. Nancy didn't have an operation
today, but she didn't know where she had gone. She felt sorry for Nadia.

When Jessie left, Charles faced her daughter again and kissed her forehead. "Nadia, it's been sixty
minutes. I don't think Mommy can finish the operation soon. Let's go home now, okay?"

Nadia lowered her head sadly. "Daddy, I want to see Mommy."

Whenever children were in pain, the first thing they wanted was to be with their mom. Nadia was no
exception to this. She wanted her Mommy to take care of her like she did to her patients in the hospital,
but it seemed like she was too busy to do so.

Looking at the dejected look on her face made Charles sad again. He picked up Nadia and said softly,
Nadia, Mommy is busy with the surgery. Didn't we agree to support Mommy's work? Let's go home
first. Mommy will be back after the operation."

"What if Mommy doesn't go to Daddy's home? What if she goes back to her apartment instead?" Worry
was evident in Nadia’s big dough eyes. It was not a big deal for her to go home with Charles, but she
was scared that her Mommy would decide not to see her again.



"Nadia, you are sick. I’m sure that Mommy will visit you after work. Let's go." The truth was, he didn’t
have much confidence. Charles just needed to comfort his daughter.

Ever since Nancy came back, she seemed to be so bolshie and ignored his words. He hated Nancy
like this, but he couldn't leave her.

As much as he wanted to control her, Nancy was too defiant.

Although she was reluctant, Nadia still put her arms around Charles' neck and said, "Since I promised
to you, Daddy, let's go now and wait for Mommy at home."

Soon, they were already on their way home. But Charles never dreamed that he would see Nancy and
Rick so coincidentally when passing by the restaurant that they in.

While Nancy was crying, Rick was wiping her tears with a tissue.

From afar, the two of them looked like a couple who had a quarrel. It was as if the woman was
aggrieved, and the man was asking for forgiveness.

Charles' eyes were full of malice.

His sight deviated from the road, and then the next second, he heard a sharp sound of brake. "You're
driving without eyes, aren't you?"

The driver's voice made Charles come to his senses. He cursed in his head when he realized that he
almost hit the car in front.

It was not hard to guess how terrified Nadia was when he suddenly hit the brake. "Daddy, what's wrong
with you?"



Charles had always been careful when driving, especially when he was with the kids. Incidents like this
rarely happened. "I'm sorry, Nadia. Daddy might be too hungry, but don't worry."

It was the only excuse he could make to perfunctorily deal with Nadia. After giving one last glance at
Nancy, he stepped on the gas and left.

If it was only him, he would have stopped the car and walked into the restaurant to question Rick.

Besides, he also wanted to know what Nancy meant. He wanted to ask her why she chose to go out
with this man instead of taking caring of her daughter.

However, he couldn't do that because Nadia was with him. Charles didn't want Nadia to find out that he
lied to her today, let alone allow her to see her mother with another man.

The two kids often tended to over think, so Charles was trying his best to protect them.

"Daddy, can you eat something first?" The fear in Nadia’s eyes was replaced with concern, which made
Charles smile.

Even though Nancy was neglecting him and the children, he and the children still cared of each other,
didn't they?

"No need, Nadia. I'm fine." Without taking his eyes off the road, Charles reached out his hand and
rubbed Nadia’s head.

Her care for Charles made him feel better.

As soon as they got home, Charles called his assistant to say that he had something important to do,
and ordered his assistant to deal with the company's affairs.

When the call ended, he turned off his phone.



He wanted to play and spend time with Nadia.

For the whole afternoon, Charles did nothing but accompany Nadia.

However, from time to time, the scene of Nancy crying came to his mind. What grievance did she have
that she couldn't tell him, but she could tell Rick, who she just met?

How much injustice had Nancy suffered when she was with Charles?

No matter how angry he was, Charles didn't show it in front of Nadia. He was disheartened every time
he thought that Nancy didn't trust her enough to tell him things she could tell to an outsider.

When it was time to pick up Bobby, Charles went to the kindergarten with Nadia.

Like a child who had done something wrong, Bobby remained silent all the way.

At first, Bobby got angry when Nadia was brought to the hospital, because he would be exposed. But
his anger gradually subsided, and was replaced by guilt. After all, it was him who asked Nadia to have
his breakfast.

Yes, he forced Nadia to eat too much, but he didn't expect such terrible consequences.

It was not the first time that Nadia ate a lot of food, but it was the first time that she vomited like this.
Bobby felt uncomfortable seeing Nadia in pain.

Therefore, he couldn’t be happy the whole day. Even when Ruby talked to him, his mood didn’t change.

Even if he only did it because Nadia told on him, he went too far this time.

As soon as they returned home, the first thing Bobby wanted to do was to go back to his room.



But Charles had already guessed what he was thinking, so he stopped him. "Bobby, come here. I have
something to ask you."

"What is it, Daddy?" Unexpectedly, Bobby came over obediently and sat down on the sofa.

"What did you do this morning?" Charles asked.

"I..." His apologetic eyes turned to Nadia. "I just wanted Nadia to eat more. She is a foodie."

It was rare for Bobby to speak without confidence, but now, he spoke in a very low voice.

It was so low that Charles had to listen carefully to understand it.

"No matter how much she can eat, she is still a child like you. How big is her stomach? Bobby, I hope
you can say sorry to Nadia." Anyone who could see Charles’ gloomy face right now would definitely
tremble in fear, just like Bobby.
