Chapter 445 Go Home Together
Hardy too was unhappy with Frederic's decision of handing over the TS Group to Joseph. But he decided that nagging would not
suit him right keeping in mind he was a man.
He was sanguine that even though Frederic gave the responsibility of TS Group to Joseph, he would not be able to keep it under
his control for long.
Nancy came out extremely tired after a ten hour long session of surgeries.
The moment she stepped out of the operation theater, she saw Charles walking over to her with the kids sleeping peacefully in
his arms.
"Why did you bring the kids here?" Nancy looked surprised.
Charles did not want to worry Nancy by informing her that the children left kindergarten without permission. Instead he just said,
"I want to go home together with you!"
The other doctors and nurses signed in unison when they heard Charles.
Everyone was astonished to see Charles being so sentimental.
Nancy visibly bushed. She coyly took off her mask and entered her office. "Okay, let me change first."
Even though she sounded perfectly calm her heart welled up by Charles gesture.
He actually waited for her so that they could return together?
They would go home finally!
After freshening up Nancy helped Charles and took Nadia. Then she asked, "How come the kids have fallen asleep so early?"
"Probably they are totally exhausted," Charles answered.
"Children..." Nancy began to say something but then thought better and stopped before proceeding any further.
"Don't overthink everything. Grandpa is always missing the kids. I brought them here so that they could spend some time with
him. With each passing day, I feel Grandpa is getting more inclined towards them. In general I have seen older people tend to
like children more." Charles and Nancy while speaking took the elevator to go downstairs. Charles opened the door with his free
hand.
"That's all you have to say?" Nancy's sixth sense told her that Charles was hiding something. She was worried for him and when
her questioning eyes met his, Charles felt guilty for not being totally honest.
After all Charles loved Nancy very much. Not telling her the truth would give her reasons to be perturbed.
"See the kids are already asleep. Let us go home first then we can talk," Charles softly said.
Nancy understood what Charles tried to indicate, so without further ado she carefully placed Nadia on the back seat of the car
and covered both the kids with her coat. She herself climbed up in the passenger seat right next to Charles.
The drive was more or less a silent one because both of them were afraid of waking up the kids.
Charles turned on some soothing music and Nancy finally tried to rest a bit after hours of work in the hospital.
Charles drove with all his attention. Right at that moment he was the happiest man alive. His happiness was there in that car. He
needed to protect it by all means.
Charles respected whatever choice Nancy made because he loved her.
He was aware of how much Nancy loved her work, so naturally he could never bring himself to ask Nancy to give up her career
and become a full-time homemaker.
He refused to blame Nancy even when she refused to the marriage proposal again and again, all because his love for her was
strong enough to oversee everything.
Love meant understanding and tolerance. For Nancy's happiness Charles was ready to go to any extent.
They soon arrived home.
They reached Charles's villa instead of Edward's.
When Nancy woke she squinted her eyes to see properly. The door beside her was open and a gust of wind blew. She could feel
a big hand touching her face.
"Darling, we are home. Wake up!" Charles did not want to wake her up as she slept so peacefully in the car.
She slept cozily with her head sideways and arms crossed over her chest.
He softly kissed on her lips.
That soft, wet touch woke Nancy quickly. She was so deep in her sleep that she forgot where she was and in a trance asked,
"Who is it?"
"Shhh.... Don't wake the kids up. It is just me!" Charles calmed her down.
Nancy rubbed her face. "What are you doing? Why did you sneak up on me like that?"
Charles took her hand in his and said, "I was just kissing you and that also openly, okay?"
"Daddy, Mommy..." Nadia mumbled in her sleep when she heard Charles and Nancy talking.
Nancy quickly pushed Charles away and said, "Nadia, dear, we are home!"
"Okay." Nadia immediately went back to her sleep.
With a snicker, Charles kissed on Nancy's cheek and said, "Get out of the car."
"You just like to do something bad!" Nancy complained mockingly.
"I am just expressing my love for you. Why don't you understand?"
"Sentimental." Nancy muttered under her breath as she opened the door and took Nadia in her arms.
Charles picked up Bobby and the two of them walked directly into the bedroom.
Seeing that the children were fast asleep Nancy decided not to wake them up. She quietly walked out of their room and said, "I
think it is better that I let them sleep. I won't bathe them tonight."
"Yes you are right, but..." Charles's voice trailed off clearly indicating that he wanted to say something.
"What is the matter with you?" Nancy sounded very confused.
"Instead of the kids, today you must bathe me!"
"Sometimes you are so unreasonable!" Nancy was too tired to take a bath herself and Charles wanted her to bathe him. It was
definitely out of question.
She just wanted to crash on her bed and get enough rest.
She took her pajamas and walked towards the bathroom to change.
Charles blocked her way and stood in front of the door. He almost illogically said, "Nancy if you don't bathe me now, I will not tell
you what happened today."
Nancy yawned and nonchalantly said, "Well that will be great, because I do not want to hear about it anyway!"
"Well, are you not curious to know?"
"Not really, I am too sleepy to be curious right now." Nancy was almost drooping as she answered.
"Are you sure you do not want to know?"
Nancy looked up and stared intently at Charles.
"Take a shower with me? Come on!" Charles hinted with his raised eyebrow.
"It is not a big deal. Okay then. Let's go!"
Charles smiled widely and picking up Nancy he walked into the bathroom.
When all was over Nancy felt that she could fall asleep then and there.
She was exhausted and therefore leaned on Charles. "Charles, you did everything in your capacity. Now will you tell me that
secret?" Nancy said.
Charles stroke through Nancy's hair and looked at the other side.
"You can't break your promise now?" Nancy grabbed his chest strongly.
Charles winced a little because of the pain and said holding her hand, "Do you think Derrick will wake up ever again?"
Nancy was not expecting this. So she was stunned. She raised her head and asked, "Why are you asking this out of the blue?"
"You know Derrick fabricated the car accident. He asked a paid assassin to break Hiram's car. The driver who was unaware of
the truth hit Hiram's car as he was asked to! And as a result the diver lost his life!"
"Derrick planned all this himself? Is he completely insane?" Nancy glowered in anger as she spoke.
"Calm down please. The children are sleeping," Charles reminded.
"Is your grandfather aware of this?"
"Yes."
"If this news goes out Derrick will have to rot in jail even if he wakes up," Nancy thoughtfully said.
"Don't you think that he deserves such a fate? He should be imprisoned for the cruel and merciless person he is. But grandpa
does not seem to agree on this." Charles looked annoyed. "He is too old to understand all this. I'm afraid that something terrible
will befall him."
"But no one can break the law not even him. No matter what, with this disclosure Derrick can't escape jail time!" Nancy sounded
sanguine.
Charles chuckled playfully, "I never thought you to be so righteous."
"Why not? Every citizen must abide by the law. If the criminals are let out on roads, free, then the whole society will be a mess."
"You are absolutely right. Um, I have another thing to tell you..."
"What again?"
