"No, marriage is not merely a form nor a transaction; it is a commitment and responsibility! When a married man cheats on his wife, he is considered to be immoral and is despised by society. Unmarried couples aren't bind by this relationship. Do you understand?" Charles was a little anxious and scolded Nancy.

"Why are you being so agitated? Anyway, I like the relationship that we currently have. But enough of that for now. It's time for dinner." After Nancy said this, she walked out of the room.

Charles sighed in frustration. 'What is it about marriage that she's afraid of? What are her apprehensions?'

He could not believe that the concept of marriage frightened her.

Charles thought about how he could stir Nancy's feelings so she would finally agree with him. He couldn't allow her to be always influenced by Doris.

Nancy already decided that she wouldn't tell Charles about Jessie asking for red envelopes from the family of patients. But that she had left the notebook on the cabinet slipped her mind.

Right after dinner, she took a shower and leaned against the bed's headboard to read.

Charles was in charge of bathing the children. He could only rest after they were settled and ready for bed. After a quick shower, Charle

she heard about playing games with mommy and daddy.

Before Charles and Nancy could say anything, their daughter already found her way into their bed.

"But... It's already late, Nadia." This was all Charles managed to say.

"But weren't you still playing when we arrived? Why don't we play for a while, mommy and daddy?" Nadia insisted.

"That's right, mommy and daddy. I'm also wondering about the game you were playing. Please teach us the game for a while. It's impossible for us to immediately get back to sleep now," Bobby appealed.

Charles sighed in defeat. He knew that there was no escaping this request from their children. He thought for a while, trying to come up with an idea for a game. "Mommy and I were playing a game of catching people. Using a blindfold to cover our eyes, we then try to catch a person. The one who is caught gets eliminated. Are you sure you want to play this game?"

"The game sounds fun, daddy! Of course, I want to play it with you and mommy. Bobby, you like it too, don't you?" Nadia got even more excited. She wouldn't leave the room anytime soon.

"Yes, Nadia, I want to play the game, too. I'll be in the same group with mommy, and you'll team up with daddy, okay?" Bobby divided them into two teams.
