Sweet Twins novel Chapter 72

"Ah!" Nancy yelled in panic after realizing that she had just stepped on the ground, completely naked while Charles sat comfortably on the couch.

The smug smile etched on his face showcased how he liked the view at that very moment.

Immediately, Nancy covered her flustered face with both of her hands. How could she be so careless when she was with him? Yes, she might have frequently been staying over recently, but that didn't permit her to be so reckless.

And right now, groggy as she still was from her sleep, Nancy was in a state of panic. When she was back to her senses, she quickly covered her chest with her palms.

While her feet were glued on the ground, Charles slowly stood up and glanced at her voluptuous figure.

An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes while his Adam's apple moved. With an unreadable expression on his face, he grabbed her clothes and walked towards her.

His heavy footsteps almost danced with the rhythm of Nancy's heartbeat. And for every inch he moved closer, it was if she was getting close to having a seizure for the embarrassment.

'This is so shameful!' she uttered to herself. This might not be the first time she lost her face in front of Charles, but after the first one, she swore she'd never do such humiliating thing again.

Now, look at the position she was in!

But it seemed that Charles didn't see it quite like that. He even let out a chuckle, seeing as how Nancy tried to cover her face.

He put a coat on her, and with his cold lips close to her ear, he whispered temptingly, "Let go of your hands. I didn't see anything."

With that remark, Nancy's face was even redder, fully aware that he was deliberately teasing her.

"Charles, you like to strip women, don't you?" she snarled, trying to cover up her humiliation by pretending to be mad.

"Yes, that must be it! That must be why you're smiling like a crook right now!" she added with furrowed brows. "Alright. You had a fever last night, and I had to take care of you."

After saying that, Charles burst into another laughter. He obviously enjoyed being in this position.

"You are lovely, Nancy!" he praised, trying to soothe the grimace and fury out of her face.

"Charles, I don't have time to talk about this with you now. I want to look for my baby, Nadia." Even when her face was still blushing, Nancy managed to talk rationally. After all, he took care of her just because of her fever, so there was no need to make a fuss about it.

Nadia was more important than everything right now. She just couldn't sit around and do nothing while her daughter was in some place she didn't know about.

So, without saying another word, she ignored his silliness and quickly put on her clothes.

Then after some time, she and Charles walked out of the house and found that tons of people were also outside.

"Oh, it's all a mess. What should I do now?" This place was too far away from the city, so the city's government couldn't send people over.

"We can do it ourselves." someone responded after hearing her banter.

"This typhoon damaged a lot of areas. I guess no one will come here to travel for a while," another resident uttered with a heavy sigh.

The place was filled with guest houses intended for tourists. And since the storm had destroyed most of them, the tourism business wouldn't boom for a while––much to the disappointment of the locals.

The views and sceneries in the area were perfect during other seasons, especially during summer. Now that such weather had sailed through the place, it would be a while before they could restore it.

In fact, to protect the original ecology, the local government refrained from paving the roads with asphalt. They retained the natural muddy roads to preserve the inherent beauty of their environment.

And since it had become muddy after the rained poured, it was difficult to drive past the place.

"Sir, we––" Nancy stepped forward and asked politely, but she was immediately cut off by the local.

"Hey, who are you?" The old man was shocked to see an unfamiliar face in their area. After all, the weather forecast had restricted citizens from traveling far.

"Sir, I just want to ask something. We can't contact anyone because of the bad signal, so I was wondering how we can drive through this muddy road." Although Nancy was polite, a hint of desperation was coated in her voice.

"Oh, okay." The old man looked into the distance and said, "Do you see that road over there? It's a paved track, so you can drive your car without any difficulty. After that, you can go south."

Nancy listened thoroughly while nodding her head. She wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Thank you," she expressed, slightly bowing her head to show respect.

"You are welcome." The man smiled shyly and bowed his head too.

"Alright. We'll be on our way," she replied before turning to Charles.

Folks in the rural areas were indeed more courteous than those in the metro.
