Sweet Twins novel Chapter 45

Charles put his arm around Nancy's shoulders, and then they left the hospital together.

The clean and pleasant smell coming from him helped Nancy gradually calm down.

She wished that she could lean on someone like this forever without having to think about anything.

It was not until she got into Charles' car that she finally felt like herself again.

"Thank you," she said, lazily leaning back against the seat.

"What do you want to eat?" Charles asked with a smile.

"Um... Kung pao chicken, braised fish in brown sauce, sweet and sour spareribs, braised prawns," she rattled off after giving it a moment's thought.

These were the dishes that her mother often made for her when she was a child.

In her eyes, they were the most delicious dishes in the world! And after the long day that she had just had, she wanted to eat something familiar and comforting.

"Okay," Charles agreed at once and started driving to a big hotel.

As soon as they arrived at the hotel and were seated at a table, he quickly ordered the dishes that she had asked for.

"Thank you," Nancy said, feeling a little touched that he had remembered everything on her list. Just then, her stomach growled.

"Nancy, this is the second time you're thanking me today. You weren't so polite to me before. Anyway, drink this first. It's not good to keep your stomach empty." Charles poured a glass of juice and slid it over to her.

"That's because you weren't so nice to me before!" Nancy shot back before finishing the glass of juice in one go. When she was done, she smiled sheepishly.

She couldn't help but marvel at the 180 degree shift in Charles' attitude. The first time he met her, he had treated her cruelly and claimed that she was a human trafficker who had abducted his child.

After that, he had stopped being cruel to her, but he had still been a little rude.

These past few days, however, he had been nothing but nice to her.

What an unpredictable man!

"If I treat you well, will you do the same for me?"

Charles asked abruptly, surprising Nancy even more.

How could this domineering suddenly look so innocent!

"Of course, that's how the world works. If you're nice to me, I'll be nice to you too," Nancy answered seriously.

"Okay, well, you should eat more." Although his movements were a little clumsy, Charles had tried his best to learn how to please a woman.

Even so, when he handed over the chicken soup to her, he spilled a little by accident.

Nancy hurriedly reached out to steady the bowl, and her hand bumped into his.

Feeling a shiver run through her, she hurriedly drew back her hand.

"I..." she trailed off as her face turned a deep shade of red.

"It's okay. Our hands barely touched. Why are you getting so nervous?"

Charles teased, making her panic even more.

'Don't think too much, Nancy. This man has so many pretty women around him. He's just being nice to you because of Bobby,' Nancy warned herself.

The thought helped her calm down,

and the next time she spoke, she sounded polite but distant. "Mr. Fu, please have it while it is still hot. I can get it myself."

"I'm being nice to you so that you won't turn me down. If you're going to be formal with me, it defeats the purpose," Charles said, looking straight into Nancy's eyes.
