Why was Charles so fixated on this topic?

When she turned to look at Charles, Nancy haughtily looked down on him and said, "Charles, there's no reason for you to be so jealous because between us, I wasn't the one who was really fooling around. Last night, I was only drinking with him and did not do anything out of line."

Charles wasn't in any rush to defend himself. He simply said, "Do you really want to go?"

After observing him for a while, Nancy could sense from his tone that he wasn't happy about it. She decided not to respond and said, "I'm going out to see Doris."

"No, you're not!" yelled Charles in an arrogant manner.

"Why?" she asked angrily.

"Because now, I am your man. And I order you to stay at home with me today!" blurted Charles as he threw the bread in his hand and stood up.

Following that, he walked closer to her.

"You're being unreasonable!" Nancy shouted discontented from what she was hearing.

Charles pinched her chin with his slender fingers and raised her face towards his. In a devious voice, he said, "Well, if I am unreasonable, what are you going to do?" When he spoke, a strong and domineering force escaped from his cold lips.

"

idea to turn off their phones. You haven't even gotten married. Do you think he's getting bored with you?"

Nancy's eyes widened with her face stuck in an incredulous expression.

It was a completely different story from what she heard.

"What's the matter with Charles?" asked Nancy in confusion.

Charles was just standing by her side the whole time.

'Damn it! Jay is making up stories!' he thought.

He couldn't let that guy get away with slandering him like that.

It wasn't easy for him to calm Nancy down. All his efforts turned to vain from just a simple sentence from Doris. He didn't know what more he could explain if she ended up misunderstanding him.

So, he took the phone and said, "Doris, Jay isn't telling the truth. It was all his idea. Nothing that happened last night had anything to do with me."

"Charles, don't be so patronizing. Jay told me that he wouldn't dare turn off his phone because I'm pregnant. It was all your idea. When did you become such a scumbag? Why can't you just admit what you've done?" Doris said in a jarring tone.

Scumbag?

Charles was completely infuriated. Who dared call him a scum?

This brave woman dared to provoke him!
