Sweet Twins Indulge in Daddy's Love

"Okay, Daddy. I hope Mommy comes soon." Disappointment and sorrow were written all over Bobby's face as he missed being with Nancy. After all, he was very excited about tonight's party. He was determined and placed all his efforts at tonight's party.

What excited him the most was the opportunity to see Nancy again.

'Where on earth is this woman?' Charles thought worried and peeved at the same time.

In his worries, he started greeting the children absentmindedly.

It was nine o'clock.

Time kept moving, and still, there was no sign of Nancy.

The initial excitement among the children died down. They began to rub their eyes, feeling sleepy.

"Bobby, where is the surprise? You said you will give us a surprise!" asked a kid, yawning, barely keeping his sleepiness at bay.

"Yes, Bobby. Come on, share the good news with us," another kid couldn't help but urge. This enigmatic surprise filled them with great expectations and a sense of mystery.

Listening to all the kids, Bobby became sad and anxious. He didn't know why his mother was late!

Unable to control himself, tears welled up in his big eyes.

He said, "Wait a minute, wait a minute. The surprise will be here soon. You will be so shocked. Just wait a minute."

"But we are going home."

"Yes, our parents are coming to pick us up."

The children could no longer wait, they had already run out of patience.

Hearing all the complaints, Bobby lowered his head. Fiddling with his fingers, he mumbled, "Why hasn't Mommy come yet?"

Most of the people who came to attend birthday party were kids, so Jay felt very bored.

Silently pouring red wine into two glasses, he passed one over to Doris.

Doris took the wine, coldly replying, "Thank you."

With an evil smirk, Jay said, "You're welcome. Look, we are the only adults invited to this party; all the others are just kids. Why don't you accompany me? We can have a chat or something. What do you say? think you must be bored too. So, why don't we have a little chat to kill our boredom?"

Hearing Jay, Doris couldn't help but snort and release a sigh.

"Well, Mr. Fang, you are a famous elite of the city while I'm just an ordinary person. How can I have the honor of talking with you?"

"It's just a chat to kill some time. Why do you care about our status and honor? It's not like I'm asking you to marry me." Raising his eyebrows playfully, Jay rapped her goblet and took a sip of the red wine. "You..." Doris felt blood rush to her cheeks, forming a slight blush due to the embarrassment and shyness. Doris indignantly said, "W-when did I ever say that I wanted to marry you? I don't want to be with a playboy like you at all."

"Well, if you don't want me, then I will no longer care about you." For the first time in his life, Jay was rejected and looked down upon. Unwilling, he too refuted her proudly.

Trying to hide her embarrassment, Doris downed the wine furiously.

Turning her face around, she decided to outright ignore Jay.

At this moment, Charles came over.

"Stop arguing with each other. The children are feeling sleepy, and there is still no sign of Nancy. I don't want to disappoint Bobby. You two have to somehow coax the children into waiting a little longer, all the while comforting them."

'Tm no good with children. I can't do anything about them; moreover, I can't even comfort them," replied Doris. Doris wanting to do nothing with kids, refused without skipping a beat. After all, she was never good at handling kids.

Charles looked at Jay, him being the only hope left.

Under the intense gaze of Charles, Jay smiled awkwardly. He was a playboy with infinite tricks to please a woman.

But pleasing a kid?

Now, that was an impossible task even for him.

But he knew better than to reject Charles. Doris might be able to refuse Charles, but there was no way he could.

"You brat, stop smiling, and find a way to solve this," sighed Charles.

"Why don't we hold a ball?" Jay suggested after thinking long and hard for some time. "Children always enjoy playing games. If they play a game, they will be more cheerful and energetic, making a more vibrant atmosphere. They will stop making troubles and might even stay till Nancy gets here."

"Just do it." Pausing slightly, Charles added, "I don't care what you do, but you have to make them stay. Meanwhile, I will go out and look for Nancy."

"Charles be quick. I'm afraid that even I won't be able to hold them for long. If the kids are adamant about leaving, then there is no way I could force them to stay," said Jay, feeling helpless about the situation. "I'll try," said Charles, assuring as he walked out of the room.

As soon as he got out, his expression sank. He was very anxious about Nancy. Taking out his phone, he quickly called Hiram and ordered him to find Nancy's whereabouts. Without wasting any time, Hiram, along with his subordinates, began looking for Nancy.

Jay didn't cut any corners in his efforts to make the children stay.

Plastering a friendly smile on his face, he said brightly, "Hey kids, why don't we dance together? You just have to follow along as I dance with Aunt Doris here."

Just as he said, he softly planted his hand on Doris's waist, caging her delicate waist in his arms, completely disregarding whether she was willing to dance or not.

Perhaps it was her inexperience because of which she kept stepping on Jay's feet, or maybe she was just... deliberate. "Are you doing this on purpose? Wanna get back at me?" asked Jay as he winced in pain. "You must be joking, Mr. Fang. You were the one who dragged me here to dance. I didn't come to you. How could this be my revenge?"

Actually, Doris didn't know how to dance. She learned it back when she studied at the university. But the dance teacher told her that her body was too stiff and was unsuitable for dancing. Thus, she stopped dancing.

For the sake of helping Charles, Jay silently endured the pain.

He forced out a smile even when his heart cried in misery. "Look, kids, how beautifully we are dancing! Come dance along with us," said Jay as he tried to persuade the children.

Noticing how Jay was trying to endure the pain, Doris decided against stepping on Jay's feet. And gradually, she got better and better. "Someone's a fast learner."

As soon as Jay finished his words, a heel came crashing down on his foot. Jay grimaced in pain as he complained, "What? Now I can't even compliment you?" "Humph. Do you think that praise from you will make me proud?"

Even though she didn't show it, she was actually swearing inside. She was sweating all over and was fatigued. She was sure if she danced any longer, her legs would definitely break.

"I didn't step on you intentionally. I'm already dead tired and can't dance any longer. There is no way I could hold on," said Doris as she gasped, trying to take in as much air as she could. "Why is Nancy still not here?" Jay could feel Doris trembling all over.

He looked at the watch on his wrist. It was half past nine in the evening, and Nancy still hadn't come yet. It was very likely that she wouldn't come.

Even after all his efforts, the kids were once again depressed and dispirited now. "Uncle, we don't want to dance. We want to go home."

"Yes. I'm so sleepy. I just want to sleep on my bed." Bobby was also quite dismayed. Even though he was very eager and enthusiastic about meeting Nancy, at the same time, he knew that he could no longer make the children stay. After all, the children had to attend kindergarten tomorrow.

So he reluctantly said, "I'll tell you about the good news and surprise some other day. You all can go back. Thank you everyone for coming today. Goodbye."

"Bye."

"Bye."

After giving their parting words, the kids went out one by one.

Finally, only one kid was left, Bobby.

He silently ran upstairs with his head down.

And a few moments later there was the sound of a door slamming.
