Chapter 571 Unreasonable Request
Frowning, Charles nodded once, ncing at Nancy. "Okay, I''ll send someone to investigate it. Nancy,
let me handle it, Okay?"
"I don''t need your help, Charles. I''ll investigate it myself!" Nancy immediately refused in her determined
voice.
"Nancy," Charles tried to reason with her, "you are already so busy with your work. Besides, the kids
need you. They have been following you everywhere. How can you do it all by yourself?" Charles was
doubtful if Nancy would be able to manage everything by her own.
"Concern of the kids doesn''t bother me. Because I know you can take care of them pretty well while I''ll
be away." Nancy blinked at him reassuringly then leaned in and kissed on Charles'' cheek, "Thank you,
Honey. For always being there."
"Nancy, you..." Charles was both delighted and surprised, Is this for real? You are serious about this."
He cupped her face with a swift motion then pulled her closer and pressed his lips on hers, closing the
minimum distance between them.
A pretty blush crept up Nancy''s face as she kissed him back and then smiled at him.
Charles was right. She indeed was serious about the criminals.
But, she couldn''t let go the case of arson so easily. It wouldn''t do justice if the case got closed vaguely.
If she let go of the bad guy this time, they could do harm the next time. Then what? She would let go of
them again? This couldn''t go on forever.
What if they started killing again? What would they do then? This had to stop.
Once they had their dinner, the kids looked at Nancy expectantly.
"Mommy, I want you to sleep with me tonight." Nadia insisted cautiously with her innocent voice.
"Yes, Mommy. I also want you to sleep with us tonight. I feel good and protected when you sleep by my
side." Bobby agreed with Nadia.
"Okay. If you say so, I''ll sleep with you tonight," Nancy happily agreed.
However, Charles disliked the proposal immediately. As soon as Nancy agreed, he interrupted with a
displeased tone, "No way!"
The kids shifted their stares at him and asked with pouts, "Why?"
"You should understand this kids, that your Mommy is my wife now. If you keep her with you every
night, it will make me sad. Well, immensely sad."
"But Daddy, you are an adult. You don''t need Mommy''spany at night. You can''t get scared of
nightmares. Can you?" Nadia asked innocently, blinking her cute eyes.
Realizing that the chance of Nancy being taken away again by the kids tonight was high, Charles felt
very aggrieved.
He looked at Nancy with a frown, whereas she had a coy smile on her face. She was enjoying this
drama; she didn''t care about him at all!
Charles felt disappointed at this point.
Did he really not matter to her? All that were important to her were the children. Did she have no ce
for him in her heart?
The thoughts broke his sentiment. Then he thought, it couldn''t be true. He was the most important
person for Nancy and he would prove it tonight.
Charles turned towards the kids and said, "Kids, let''s y the rock paper scissors. Whoever wins,
Mommy will sleep with them tonight. Okay?"
It was an odd requesting from Charles. So, Bobby and Nadia exchanged a confused look with
each other for a while.
"Bobby, what do you think?" Nadia whispered.
"I don''t have a good feeling about this arrangement. Daddy is cunning. He can cheat with us and take
mommy away." Bobby was a smart kid. He knew something was up with that offer. He was acting
shamelessly so that he could keep Nancy by his side. Bobby knew, he probably wouldn''t win if he
yed the rock paper scissors with his dad.
He would lose in the game as well as in keeping Mommy with them.
Then why would he agree to his father''s unreasonable request?
"Daddy, I don''t agree!" Nadia protested, raising her hand.
"Yes, I object, too!" Bobby added seriously.
Nancy grinned. She knew the kids were too smart to fall into Charles'' trap.
Nancy decided to leave Charles alone. He had arranged so many bodyguards to follow her without her
consent. Now it was her turn to take revenge. Nancy shed a sly smile at Charles.
Charles stared at Nancy for help.
But she only shrugged.
Charles walked over to where she was standing and whispered in her ear, "Honey, you can''t stand like
a statue and gloat. We are together for the rest of our lives. You have to make it clear tonight that you
really do believe on that. So, stop standing idle and do something."
"Charles, are you threatening me?" Nancy smirked, her tone was teasing.
"I don''t want to, but I can''t bear to let go of you every night. You are only bothered about the children
and give them what they want." Charles also smiled but he was annoyed and it was distinguishable
from his tone.
"You want me to help you?" asked Nancy yfully.
"Well, in this case, helping me will be helping yourself. So, think properly before taking any decision."
Charles wiggled his eyebrows teasingly.
"Okay, I''ll help you, but on one condition!"
"And what that is? Please, tell me."
"Dismiss my bodyguards. I don''t like them trailing behind me everywhere."
"Nancy, I''m doing this for your safety. You disappeared a few days ago. I was scared to death. I love
you, Nancy. I can''t endure the pain of losing you. That''s the reason, I arranged for the bodyguards. You
have to understand my efforts and intentions. Please be responsible for your life...for me!"
"Then I''m sorry, I''ll have to apany the children tonight."
"Don''t do this to me, Nancy." Charles almost pleaded.
"It''s final."
"Okay, fine! I promise I''ll dismiss the bodyguards!" In order to keep Nancy with him, he had to agree to
her demand. If the bodyguards couldn''t be there, he''d have to do it himself!
Charles took out his phone and called Hiram. Then instructed him to dismiss the bodyguards who were
assigned to Nancy.
"Mommy, are you going to sleep with us?" Nadia asked with a delighted expression.
"Of course!" Nancy nodded and agreed happily.
"Wow, Mommy loves us the most. How fortunate we are!" Bobby threw a challenging stare at Charles.

Thecent look in his eyes made Charles want to beat him up. This kid was getting out of his
hand.
He was provoking him!
"Okay, kids. Let me tell you. If Mommy can''t be with me for a long time, there will be problems in our
rtionship. If there is a problem in our rtionship, you should be concerned about the
consequences. It will be serious." Charles warned while stretching himself, "Since you want your
Mommy, I''ll give her to you. I don''t want her anymore. I really don''t want her now. You can have her all
to yourself."
After saying so, Charles left the kids'' room and went to their bedroom.
Nadia looked at Bobby nervously. "Will Daddy really abandon Mommy?"
"No, he won''t. Don''t listen to Daddy. He is ying hard to get. We can''t be fooled. Mommy, let''s go and
sleep. You''ll tell us a story!" Bobby deliberately shouted to Charles'' receding figure.
Charles clenched his jaws in anger. It was unbelievable! As expected, his son was smart and knew
what Charles was intending. If this continued Bobby would be his "little rival in love". ''Bobby, how
could you be so thoughtless?
You can have your own woman after growing up. Then why are you separating me from mine?''
As the thought crossed his mind, Charlesughed at himself. What was he thinking about? He was
being silly.
Nancy had promised to help him, so she should be able to find a way toe back to him. She would
make the two children fall in sleep at ease.
Then, he could have her all to himself.
As he thought of this, Charles'' lips curved at the corners sexily.
Nancy dealt with the smart children cleverly.
She bathed them with warm water which made the childrenzy and sleepy.
Then she sang a luby to the kids.
The song had azy tune that she herself was on the brink of falling asleep.
"Mommy, you look tired." Nadia noticed that and pointed out sadly.
"Mommy, did you operate on the little patient today?" Bobby asked suddenly with concern.
In a daze, Nancy nodded, "Yes, I am feeling very tired. I know I am not giving you much time these
days. I am very busy nowadays and there are many patients waiting for me to do their operation."
"Mommy, let''s stop talking and go to sleep." Bobby took the book from Nancy''s hand and put it down on
the bedside table. Then he climbed on the bed andy down beside Nancy obediently.
"Alright then." Nancy yawnedzily.
