Sweet Twins

Chapter 717 Guests

"But what can I do, Mommy? I'm not hungry yet!" Deep inside, Nadia didn't want to spend time with Brandy.

"Nadia, don't be rude! You should eat dinner with us even if you're not hungry. Your aunt Brandy is our guest," Charles reminded her in a low tone.

"Let' go already. I'm famished!" Then, Bobby walked towards the car on the roadside with an indifferent face.

"Wait! Bobby! You..." Nancy wanted to reprimand him. No matter how he disliked Brandy, he should have greeted her. How could he just leave with a cold face?

"Brandy, I apologize. My children are sometimes unruly. Please don't mind their attitudes." An embarrassed expression painted Nancy's face. Despite Bobby's indifferent character, he was never impolite. However, there was something wrong with his attitude towards Brandy. He was acting so cold towards her!

Then, Nancy realized that she might not be the only one jealous. Perhaps the children were also troubled when they saw Charles and Brandy together.

"Oh, it's nothing! I adore children! Moreover, Nadia and Bobby are adorable!" Bobby and Nadia were indeed adorable. However, Brandy didn't actually like them.

The two children would only create trouble for her.

"Okay, let's go! You've spent so much time abroad. Don't worry. I'll treat you to an authentic Chinese meal as a welcome gift." Charles revealed a warm smile as he waved his keys.

"Well, that's an invitation I can't refuse. Let's go, Nancy." Brandy intimately wrapped her arm around Nancy's shoulders.

The others began to gossip about them again.

Meanwhile, Nancy felt uncomfortable with Brandy's enthusiasm.

It was as if Brandy was the host, and Nancy was a guest instead.

"Mommy, come here! I want you to sit next to me," said Nadia as she patted the seat next to her.

"No, Nadia. Mommy will sit in the passenger seat, next to Daddy. Aunt Brandy is our guest and will sit in the back with us!" Bobby immediately reminded Nadia.

"Okay, I'll accompany your daddy and sit in the passenger seat. The two of you enjoy yourself with your aunt Brandy." Nancy would grow more uncomfortable if Brandy sat next to Charles. As such, she immediately opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

Then, Charles sat in the driver's seat. After Brandy got in the car, they drove towards the luxurious Chinese restaurant.

On the way, Nadia and Bobby were happily playing together. Meanwhile, Brandy was sitting next to them, feeling embarrassed and out of place. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

"So, kids, what kind of class did you have today?" Brandy asked with a smile.

"They thought us about handcrafts," Nadia obediently replied.

"And what did you craft?" Brandy continued to ask.

"We made clay figurines. I molded a cute little girl while Bobby created a beautiful butterfly. Ruby also built a butterfly! And that is because Bobby has a crush on Ruby," Nadia slyly said with a smirk.

"Nadia, stop talking! Why are you sharing with others about who my crush is? Shut up!" Bobby fiercely shouted.

"Okay. Fine! I won't say anything else." Immediately, Nadia became quiet.

"Oh? Well, it's a shame that Nadia can't speak to me. Since you silence her, Bobby, then I will talk to you. Why do you like Ruby? Is she gorgeous and kind? Do you like it when she plays with you?" Brandy had always enjoyed herself whenever she and Charles were alone together.

However, she suddenly realized that it was different when Nancy and the children were around. She felt as if she was an outsider.

Somehow, she sensed that her presence made the children uncomfortable.

Brandy felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She began to regret coming with them.

"Okay. I admit I like Ruby. It's the same way that Daddy likes Mommy. Aunt Brandy, Daddy is so in love with Mommy. She had a tummy ache last night, and Daddy brought her medicine. They are kind and loving towards each other. Sometimes, they even take a bath together. Mommy is kind, virtuous, and loves Daddy so much! Aunt Brandy, when you get married, you'll also treat your husband similar to how my mommy treats my daddy, right?" Bobby said with a proud smile.

Feeling uneasy, Brandy was desperate to get out of the car. Unfortunately, she couldn't leave! With an awkward smile, she answered, "Yes, I will."

Suddenly, Nancy asked, "Brandy, are you in a relationship with anyone?"

"Well, no. I'm still single." answered Brandy.

"Maybe I should introduce you to someone, Aunt Brandy. I know several of Daddy's friends. They're all handsome and wealthy. What do you think, Aunt Brandy?" Bobby said as he gave a list of names.

Charles had several acquaintances. Naturally, his friends were either wealthy or influential. Although he seldom held banquets at his house, it would be broadcasted on TV whenever he had one. As such,

most of the people Bobby said had appeared at least once on television.

"I appreciate the offer, but no thanks. I'm still young. I'm not in a rush to get married or have children," Brandy answered with a wry smile.

The two children were insinuating that no man wanted her.

"Brandy, maybe it's time for you to consider marriage. You're no longer young. Look at me! I have two children now," Charles said in a proud voice.

"What? Err, I haven't met someone I like yet. I won't hurry about it." Brandy's face turned bright red.

Even though she and Charles were of the same age, he already had two children. Meanwhile, her crush for him never faded.

All these years, Brandy had been paying attention to Charles. She had searched the Internet for any news about him.

She would print the news, cut it out, and store it in a special place.

Deep inside, she believed she was deeply in love with Charles.

Additionally, Brandy also thought that Nancy's love for Charles was far lesser than what she could offer. Brandy believed that the two only stayed together for their children's sake.

But when she saw how Charles stared at Nancy, Brandy felt envious.

Charles' eyes reflected his deep affection. It was utterly different when he would look at Brandy.

'Is he deeply in love with Nancy? Are they together not only because of their children?'

Brandy got lost in her doubts. Suddenly, she heard Nancy's gentle reminder. "Brandy, we've arrived. Let's get out of the car."

When she came to her senses, Brandy raised her head in a hurry. Then, she noticed that the children were already out of the car. Charles and Nancy were waiting for her with smiles on their faces.

"Ah! Oh, yes! I'm coming!" Brandy straightened herself and got out of the car with an awkward expression.

At that moment, she deeply regretted accepting the invitation. If she knew that it was a front-row seat to Charles' happy relationship with Nancy, she would have gone home.

Nonetheless, she felt like an outsider in front of the couple.

True enough, she was an outsider. It was only at that moment that she realized the truth.

Even though Brandy liked Chinese food, she had no appetite. Despite the wide range of delicacies, she didn't feel hungry at all.
