Sweet Twins

Chapter 28 Call Me Uncle

Nancy had a lot to drink because of her depression.

So, when Ethan drove her back home, she was badly drunk.

After driving for some time, they eventually reached Nancy's apartment. But Nancy was so drunk that Ethan had to help get her upstairs and into her apartment.

Bobby stared at them with wide-open eyes. He realized why his daddy could be so fickle at times. He assumed that his daddy might be jealous.

"Why didn't you get out of the car, Daddy?" Based on what he knew about his daddy, he would never allow something like this to happen in front of him without doing anything. He would've gotten out of the car and did something to stop it right away.

But this time... he didn't even move.

His back was stiff and he was like an inanimate statue with his head slightly bent low.

Bobby shook his head lightly as he watched his father helplessly. He then opened the car door with his small hands.

"Mommy!" Bobby shouted out loudly.

His loud voice was like a wake-up call that brought Nancy back. She turned around and saw Bobby approaching her resolutely.

It made him look like a little warrior who approached his mommy unopposed.

"Bobby," Nancy said feebly. Nancy forced herself to smile as Bobby drew nearer. She didn't want him to see her that drunk.

But she lost her footing as she turned around and nearly fell over.

Fortunately, Ethan was able to hold on to her arm tightly and kept her upright.

He stared at Bobby with an amused look. "Hey, little guy. Why do you call Nancy, mommy? She wasn't the one who gave birth to you," Ethan pointed out.

"Big brother, my daddy said I could call her Mommy. And Mommy also likes me. And so, you should agree too!" Bobby explained as he called Ethan big brother.

He thought that brother couldn't take his mommy away.

"Call me uncle," Ethan replied. He stared at the resolute little man. "Well, little guy, I don't care if you call someone else mommy. But if you call her mommy, I would mind," Ethan said in a firm tone.

At that point, rumors about Charles and Nancy had spread everywhere. And this little guy popped out of nowhere seemingly to make things even more complicated for Nancy.

"Mommy, Mommy... I will call her Mommy!" But Bobby never liked what Ethan said. He immediately furrowed his eyebrows and glared at Ethan. "Let go of my mommy! She's mine!" Bobby shouted at him.

Bobby then pushed Ethan as he spoke. His two small chubby hands pushed Ethan with all their strength.

"Little boy, if you push me again, I will beat your butt so bad!" Before Bobby could react, Ethan lifted Bobby off the ground.

"Mommy, help!" Bobby screamed as he tried to get free from Ethan. Bobby kept shouting as he struggled against Ethan.

But Nancy could never bear to see Bobby treated unfairly. She immediately grabbed Ethan's arm with renewed strength. "You're a grown man, Ethan. Why are you picking on a mere child?" Nancy said.

She took Bobby into her arms as soon as she finished speaking.

Bobby stared at Ethan mockingly.

'Mommy still cares about me,' Bobby thought to himself.

"I... Well, he shouldn't call you that!" Ethan stammered.

He was easily annoyed when Bobby called Nancy mommy.

"Mommy, am I a good boy?" Bobby asked with a childish smile. He held Nancy's face with his chubby hands and gave her a hard kiss. "Big brother is a very naughty boy, isn't he, Mommy?" he asked.

Nancy smiled at Bobby. "Yes, you are right. Your big brother is not as good as you. Hahaha..."

Nancy openly jested Ethan, but to her surprise, Ethan's face suddenly looked angry. He immediately turned to leave. "Are you even aware of what you're doing, Nancy? You're not married yet, or have you forgotten that? And you're a key doctor of the municipal hospital. Are you willing to destroy your career because of this boy?"

"What are you saying, Ethan? Are you really angry? I've never known you as a narrow-minded person," Nancy shouted at Ethan as she watched him leave.

She can't remember a time when Ethan had ever been mean to her. But since he met Bobby, Ethan seemed to have turned into a heartless and impatient man with no sense of humor.

'Did he take the rumors between me and Charles seriously?' Nancy thought.

And there was no way the he could ever understand what she lost and the pain in her heart.

Nancy's sight became blurred as her eyes became filled with tears. She sniffed then took in a deep breath.

She knew that if she asked Ethan to come back to her, he would come back without a second thought.

But she couldn't do so. And she wouldn't!

"Mommy, are you crying?" Bobby asked in a soft voice. Bobby wiped the tears that started to flow down Nancy's cheeks with his small hand.

Nancy bent her head forward and placed her head on his shoulder. "No, Bobby, I'm not. Mommy is a strong girl! I will never cry. It's just dust that got into Mommy's eye. So tell me, how did you get here? Did you sneak out of the house alone?"

Bobby felt itchy and giggled. "Mommy, it's itchy! I'm a good boy, Mommy. I didn't run out by myself. Daddy drove me here. Look, it's daddy's car over there!"

Bobby said as pointed at a familiar car that was parked not too far from where they stood.

Nancy turned towards the direction that Bobby's small finger was pointing to. She saw the silhouette of a black Lamborghini that was parked near a street lamp.

However, the man inside the car was not looking at them. Instead, he stared straight at the direction that Ethan took when he left. A cigarette clearly burned in his hand.

Nancy staggered towards the car as she held Bobby in her arms. When she reached the car, she knocked on the window. "Mr. Fu?" she said as she knocked.

But Charles ignored her and instead stepped on the gas and the car moved forward and left her standing.

"Hey, Charles! What's wrong with him?" Nancy could not understand why Charles drove off. She couldn't understand why Charles left her and Bobby in the middle of the street without an explanation.

"Mommy, Daddy has been acting crazy the whole night. I don't know why he did that, but he looked very, very sad earlier," Bobby explained in a serious tone.

"Yes, Bobby, the mind of men is too complicated for us to understand. They are never as sensible as you, Bobby. Now come. You're coming home with Mommy." Nancy kissed his little chubby face gently, and then carried him into the elevator.

When got into her apartment, Nancy helped Bobby take a shower and clean himself up.

"Mommy, do you think Daddy abandoned me?" Bobby wondered. Whenever he was away from home, his family would always search for him and bring him home. But the recent situation made him think that his father might have left him there with Nancy which was not what he expected to happen.

But he was not too worried because he was happy to live there with Nancy if he had to.

In his little kiddie mind, his grandma was important, his dad was important, but his mommy was even more important.

"Well, your daddy loves you so much. He couldn't just abandon you. Don't you worry, your daddy will pick you up for the kindergarten tomorrow morning," Nancy said with confidence. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"But I don't want Daddy. Mommy, can you drive me to the kindergarten tomorrow morning?" Bobby asked as he swung his feet at the bedside.

"If your daddy doesn't come, I will drive you to the kindergarten," Nancy said with a smile as she gently dried Bobby's hair with a bath towel.

"Okay, Mommy. I want to sleep beside you," Bobby said as he clapped his hands happily.

"Yes, of course. But I have only one bedroom here. So, when you grow older, you won't be able to sleep here anymore. You are a big boy now, understand?" Nancy said as she rubbed Bobby's soft hair.

"Mommy, my house is so big and there are so many rooms. You can move in if you want," Bobby suggested as he tilted his head.

Nancy shrugged, and smiled at him, but did not say a word. Although she did not know why Charles changed his mind; she was relieved nonetheless.
