Sweet Twins novel Chapter 59

"Listen, I promise, I'm trying so hard to find her, but it's been such a long time and the case has gone cold. Sister, I promise I'll tell you as soon as I get any news," Fannie said honestly.

Her words sounded so sincere that Nancy couldn't ask more of her.

However, she was still anxious to see her daughter as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Bobby hadn't seen Nancy for a few days and he began to miss her.

"Grandma, the wound on your forehead should have healed. Do you want Mommy to check to make sure it is all ok?" said Bobby, touching Angelina's forehead gently with his little hand.

"It doesn't hurt anymore, but in order not to leave a scar, I've decided to leave the stitches in a little longer," said Angelina, moving Bobby's hand off her wound carefully.

"So Mommy did a good job? She is an excellent doctor, isn't she?" added Bobby eagerly.

It was obvious that he wanted to buy Nancy points with his grandmother.

He ultimately hoped that his grandma could accept Mommy. She was such a good person, and he couldn't fathom why Grandma didn't like her.

It constantly bothered Bobby. It was so confusing and frustrating to him because he loved both women.

Angelina's face darkened. "There are many excellent doctors and most have a family background better than Nancy's."

"But Mommy is beautiful and gentle and she is nice to Daddy and me," Bobby rambled unhappily.

"Honey, don't defend that woman! Besides, the girl your daddy will marry has to be approved by me, your grandpa, and your grand-grandpa. It isn't only up to me." It was a long standing tradition that marriages of wealthy families' descendants had to approved by their elders. It was a tradition their family intended on following through on as well.

Even if Angelina did not know Nancy and had somehow approved of her blindly, Frederic might not agree.

"Why is it all so complicated?" Bobby slipped off the sofa and sulked upstairs.

Off in the study, Charles was reading documents. Occasionally, he looked up and admired a photo of Nancy when she was young.

He found himself doing this often when he missed her.

"Daddy..." Bobby called out tentatively. It was obvious to Charles that Bobby felt aggrieved as he entered the room.

"What's wrong? Did you get into another argument with Grandma?" Charles asked this half-jokingly, knowing both his son and mother and their tendency to butt heads.

"I certainly don't WANT to keep arguing with Grandma!" Bobby whined and climbed into Charles' lap.

"Well, what has you upset this time?" Even as he asked, he had already guessed part of it. He missed Nancy also, but unlike the boy, he was very busy recently. He was able to message Nancy, but the woman never replied! Wasn't she too stingy?

In fact, Nancy had thought long and hard before deciding to ignore Charles.

She was scared of him, really, truly scared.

She was both afraid that she would be fall for Charles and that Charles might leave her after finding out what she had been through.

She thought it better to end things before they could even begin.

At least then she figured they could still be friends and she could continue to see Bobby.

Thus, she ignored his messages. However, she had read them over and over to herself, missing him as much as he missed her.

Bobby put his chubby arms around Charles' neck and leaned his mouth against his father's ear, and said, "Daddy, I miss Mommy so much. What do I do?"

Charles rubbed his chin, sighing inside since he also missed her.

"Bobby, I think we have to find ways to make your mommy miss us too, so that she will come visit." Charles' advice was vague but kind.

Bobby's big eyes blinked and he asked excitedly, "Daddy, what can we do to make Mommy miss us? Why doesn't she already? Am I not cute? Am I not well behaved? Does Mommy not like me?"
