Charles had been busy with the TS Group this whole time. He had to deal with a lot of complicated
matters. Naturally, he didn't have enough time to care about the people in the hospital.
Because Nancy was aware that he was extremely busy nowadays, she picked up the children from
school most of the time.
Both their lives were so busy and full.
Meanwhile, Doris stayed in the hospital for a month. Afterward, Jay picked her and the child up himself.
As soon as they arrived at their home, Doris thanked Jay affectionately. He was very supportive of her
during her entire pregnancy and after she gave birth.
Doris wanted to thank him for protecting, accompanying, and loving her and the baby for the past
month.
"There's no need to thank me for that. We're a couple. It's my responsibility as your partner." Jay was
quite impassive as he said this.
"Don't people say that a couple should be considerate to each other if they want to improve and
strengthen their relationship? Well, I have already decided to love and treat you well from now on."
After she said that, Doris gave a sweet smile and a hug.
However, Jay immediately broke away from her. It was as if he got an electric shock. "Hey, don't be
naughty. You're still in recovery period, remember? We should be careful."
"Well, yeah. Alright." Doris shrugged her shoulders and walked towards their bedroom. She seemed a
bit disappointed.
Obviously, Doris felt that Jay was right. Furthermore, she also felt that Jay did it for her own good.
When evening fell, Doris was surprised that Jay went to the guest room instead and slept there. Again,
he said that it was because she was still recovering.
He also said that he would ask the nursemaid to stay at Doris' side and look after the baby.
However, Doris didn't like anyone else sleeping beside her except for her own child and husband.
So regarding the matter of the nursemaid, Doris' decision was final.
Even so, Jay was stubborn too.
He still slept in the guest room.
Nevertheless, Doris believed that Jay would sleep beside her again after this period. She just had to
get better soon.
Two months had already passed. Yet, Jay still hadn't moved back to their bedroom. Doris was starting
to get annoyed.
After a few more days, Doris finally couldn't stand it anymore. She broke into the guest room and said,
"I'm your wife! Yet, you don't sleep in the same bed as me? What kind of couple are we?"
"Well, I just think that your body..." Jay looked at her from head to foot. "...is still recovering." Afterward,
a wry smile appeared on Jay's face.
"Stop making excuses. It's already been two months. I'm strong and I've recovered a long time ago. Tell
me the truth. Did you fall in love with someone else while I was staying in the hospital?" Fiercely, Doris
looked Jay straight in the eyes. "It's okay if you tell me you have fallen in love with someone else. But
you have to tell me right now. Otherwise, I'm gonna be very upset."
But as soon as she said that, Doris suddenly burst into tears.
"What? You... Why are you crying that easily? I love you and our baby. I know you can feel it. How can
you even say such a thing?" Jay stood up and gently held her in his arms. He comforted her in a
soothing voice, "I just have a lot of documents here. I'm currently very busy with my work. When I'm
finished, I'll move back in bedroom. Okay?"
"No! I want you to move into the bedroom now. Stay with us tonight," Doris responded stubbornly.
Of course, she did feel that Jay loved her and the baby very much. But people said that if a couple lived
in separate bedrooms for a long time, their relationship would become colder as time went on.
Hearing this, Jay sighed helplessly. "Okay, I'll take a shower first."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you. Don't take too long." As soon as Jay entered the bathroom, Doris' tears
turned into smiles. She went back to their room and waited patiently.
Ace had already fallen asleep. His tiny and plump face was pinkish and cute.
After giving Ace a kiss on the cheek, Doris sat down on the bed contentedly. She began to read the
news on her phone to pass the time.
Most of the recent news were about Nancy and Charles' marriage.
Nonetheless, these were just the journalists' speculations. Nancy still hadn't confirmed it.
So Doris decided to call Nancy and ask her about this herself. The latter picked up the phone but
immediately said that she and Charles were very busy at the moment. As for the news regarding their
marriage, it wasn't decided yet.
They ended their conversation there. Meanwhile, Doris went back to reading the news about Nancy
and Charles' upcoming marriage. She decided to leave a message in the comment section.
"You're just saying that out of an unconfirmed rumor. You just want to join the others in spreading this
gossip."
Doris just kept browsing the news as she waited for Jay to move back into their bedroom.
An hour had already passed. Jay still hadn't finished showering.
She was now feeling a little sleepy. Doris rubbed her eyes and muttered angrily, "For god's sake! You're
just taking a shower, Jay. You're not changing your skin. What's taking you so long?"
Thirty minutes later, there was still no sign of Jay. This time, Doris started to feel really anxious.
Did something happen to him in the bathroom? Did he slip? Maybe he needed help!
The more Doris thought about it, the more worried she became. She quickly jumped off the bed. She
shouted as she ran to the bathroom, "Jay? What's the matter? Are you okay?" "Are you still taking a
shower?"
The door of the bathroom was unlocked so Doris just went straight inside.
However, she saw that Jay was just sitting on a chair. He was wearing a bathrobe and scrolling at his
mobile phone.
Instantly, Doris' anger flared up. "Tell me right this instant! What the hell are you doing?! Can't you just
scroll through your phone in our bedroom? What are you thinking about?"
With an awkward smile, Jay raised the phone in his hand. "Honey, I needed to deal with an emergency.
It's about the entertainment company."
"Well, what is it about?" Doris demanded coldly.
Her intuition told her that Jay was hiding something from her.
Doris had always been straightforward and frank. She didn't like hiding anything from anyone. Looking
through Jay's eyes, she instantly knew that something was up.
In her opinion, when a man avoided eye contact, it meant that he was lying.
What the hell was the matter? Why couldn't Jay tell her exactly what he was doing?
Was he cheating on her? His moves were too sketchy.
There were a lot of men who cheated on their wives while they were in the hospital before, during, or
after giving birth. After all, Jay was a known playboy.
"It's only a picture of a star of the company. She was photographed with a strange man. I'll ask the
public relations department to hurry up and deal with it. After all, she is a popular star and we can't
afford to have rumors spreading about her," Jay explained patiently as he switched his phone off.
"Hmm, I see. Now, I'm curious about who that strange man is. Do you know who it is, Jay?" Doris
looked at Jay sharply. She seemed like she was implying something.
However, Jay denied it immediately. "It's not me, I swear! It's definitely not me."
"Well, then who is it?" Doris still wouldn't give the subject up. She had to know the truth.
"Honestly, I really don't know. But why is that so important to you? A female star is also a human being.
With that said, she also needs emotional comfort. This is her private life. Unfortunately, she just didn't
do well with keeping it confidential. Therefore, she was photographed by the paparazzi. We really don't
care who the man is." Jay looked at Doris as though she was being unreasonable by asking all these
questions.
"Well, I'm just curious. How could a female star be easily involved in such a gossip? Do you think she
has no self-respect? Is it possible that she's taken a fancy to a certain boss so she's taking this
opportunity to promote her acting career?" Doris' voice was full of derision. She was definitely
insinuating something.
Jay understood at once that Doris was really upset because she thought the man was him. So he just
put away his phone and said, "Honey, it's late now. I'm really sleepy. Let's go back to our room and
rest."
"Just tell me! Are you or are you not that strange man in the picture?" How could she fall asleep when
she hadn't heard about the truth yet? She really needed to find out if that man was Jay. Otherwise, she
would only become even more anxious.
"No! I already told you. How many more times do you want me to say it?" Ultimately, Jay was now
becoming annoyed with Doris' incessant questioning.
"Okay. Then it's good if it's not you. Let's go back to our bedroom and sleep." After saying that, Doris
turned around and went straight back to their bedroom.
