Chapter 731 The Kids
"Bobby is right." Nadia sat next to Bobby on the sofa.
"I won't change my mind even if you stay." Frederic growled.
A childish expression painted Frederic's face. It was as if he was throwing a tantrum. He pouted and turned his head the other way. His immaturity became too apparent.
Charles and Hardy gave confused looks at each other. They had no idea what to do.
Suddenly, the door to the ward was pushed open. Then, Joseph and Daisy walked in.
The couple looked at Charles before shifting their gaze at the children. They noticed that everyone was depressed.
Although they had no idea what was happening, Joseph and Daisy noticed the tension in the atmosphere.
'Did they have a fight?'
"Hello, Grandpa!" Daisy greeted Frederick with a smile.
When he heard Daisy's voice, Frederic turned around. "You're here!"
A confused expression painted his face. "Have the two of you reconciled?"
"Grandpa, Daisy and I decided to remarry. We went to get the marriage certificates today. Moreover, Daisy is pregnant. Isn't that wonderful?" Joseph said with great enthusiasm.
"Really? Daisy will have a baby soon?" An excited smile finally flashed across Frederic's face. Then, he turned to Charles and said, "Charles, do you see that? Nancy is not the only good woman out there!
There are many excellent ladies that can be your wife. Look at Daisy! She's obedient and filial. Daisy's way better than Nancy."
Even before Charles could speak, Bobby replied, "Great-grandpa, Aunt Daisy is great, but so is Mommy. Please don't talk about Mommy in that manner."
"Yeah. Mommy is a kind woman and a great mother. Don't speak ill of her," Nadia added with a pout.
In the eyes of the children, Nancy was the best woman in the world.
It was only natural for any child to think that their mother was the best.
"Grandpa, don't say such terrible things about Nancy in front of her children. Besides, we've known Nancy for a long time. She's not a bad person. Since Charles is still in love with her, let them get back together," Joseph gently persuaded Frederic.
"Do you have any idea about her true character? Humph!" When he remembered how stubborn Nancy was, Frederic became angry.
"Grandpa, please find it in your heart to forgive Nancy. She is a tender woman. Even though you don't want to hear this, I still need to tell you something. Please don't meddle with Charles' relationship with Nancy. Well, we'll now visit my father and tell him about our remarriage. That should cheer him up!" Deep inside, Joseph abhorred Derrick for a long time. But ever since he developed a great relationship with Daisy, his anger gradually lessened.
As time passed, Joseph concluded that Derrick deserved some mercy.
Derrick was a man who prioritized wealth and power above anything else, and yet he ended up in jail.
Luckily, Joseph was able to correct his own mistakes. With Daisy by his side, he finally had a happy life.
People were born to enjoy life with their loved ones.
"Joseph, do you know that your father is in prison?" Frederic asked in a cold tone.
Charles' face turned sour. "Joseph, pay no attention to Grandpa's ridiculous story. Your father did terrible things. Nancy has nothing to do with any of them!"
In his mind, Charles believed that Frederic was unreasonable. Now that Derrick was already in prison, why was he trying to involve Joseph too?
What will the Fu family gain if Frederic dampened the relationship between Charles and Joseph?
"What do you mean? I have no idea about what you are saying." Joseph had no idea that Derrick left the hospital. Joseph and Daisy were busy because they received several endorsement deals and scripts. They were shuttling through different crews every day. As such, they had no time to visit Derrick.
Moreover, Derrick's incarceration wasn't covered by the media. Maybe the police didn't want it to happen.
So when Frederic mentioned that Derrick was in prison, Joseph was confused.
"Don't do anything rash, Joseph. Uncle Derrick was apprehended because he did too many vile things that we didn't know. But now, Grandpa is blaming Nancy. In her defense, she just said what she had to say. So please, don't blame her as Grandpa does!" Since Charles had no intention of antagonizing Joseph, he decided to defend Nancy.
"Uncle Joseph, Mommy is a kind woman. Grandpa Derrick is the bad guy!" Bobby was listening closely to the adults. Even though he doesn't fully comprehend the situation, he still wanted to support his mother.
"Children shouldn't talk nonsense!" Frederic lost his temper again.
"You're being unreasonable!" Bobby frowned at Frederick and stuck out his tongue.
Just when the others thought Joseph would be enraged, he gave an indifferent smile instead. "Grandpa, my father is an adult. There's no need for you to defend him. He should know better to obey the law or face the consequences of his actions. Everyone, including you and me, should think this way. As such, you shouldn't blame Nancy!"
'What?' A surprised expression painted Charles' face.
He didn't expect that Joseph would say something like that.
'Did Joseph just say that?
When has he become reasonable?'
Aside from Charles, Daisy was also surprised. Joseph's actions made her love him even more. It seemed that he had changed for the better during their time together.
Before, Joseph usually mingled with several women at the same time. He seldom went home nor did he paid attention to Daisy. As such, he never understood his responsibilities. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
Fortunately, he became a mature and responsible man.
"Yes, Joseph! You have a point!" Daisy revealed an impressed look.
"See, Grandpa? Even Joseph doesn't blame Nancy. Please just stop being mad at her," Charles persuaded.
"You fools! Don't try to persuade me! No matter what you say, I still can't forgive Nancy!" Frederic stubbornly growled.
"I think that's enough argument. You should let your grandfather rest. Meanwhile, the rest of you should eat dinner as well. Why not go to a restaurant together? You guys shouldn't upset your grandfather any further!" Hardy calmly mediated when he noticed that the argument wouldn't work.
"Fine. Let's go." Joseph turned to the door while holding Daisy's hand. "How about you, Charles? Do you want to stay here?"
Since he realized that staying was useless, Charles also stood up. "Kids, let's go."
"Great-grandpa, Mommy is a good woman. Goodbye," Nadia said with a pout.
"Well, I don't believe such nonsense. Good women should be obedient and filial. However, your mother is not like that at all!" Frederic turned his head and covered his ears.
