Nancy sighed. Where could they find Jay at this late hour?
"Do you think he went to a night club or to his other villa? I know Jay owns several houses. Maybe he
went to the old house? Ah, this is driving me crazy." Not knowing what to do or where to go made Doris
frustrated.
"Let's go to his office first. Maybe he is busy." It hadn't been long since Doris had given birth to their
baby. How could Jay cheat on her at this time?
Although he was a playboy, he was not a man without self-control. He should've known who was more
important.
"Okay, I will listen to you." There was no other choice for Doris but to listen to Nancy anyway.
So they drove to Jay's company.
The CEO's office was on the top floor of the building.
Seeing that the office was brightly lit, Nancy turned to Doris with a smile. "I think Jay must be busy in
his office. You misunderstood him."
Without saying anything, Doris got out of the car and stared blankly at the office on the top floor.
Nancy followed and put her arm around Doris' shoulder.
After a few seconds of staring above, Doris finally said, "Nancy, I want to go upstairs and have a look."
"Okay, go upstairs and have a look so you can stop worrying about him."
They went inside the building and took the elevator to go upstairs.
The corridor was so quiet, and they didn't see any staff wondering around.
Out of curiosity, Nancy asked, "Why is it so quiet?"
With her forefinger pressed on her lips, Doris motioned her to keep quiet. "Shh."
The two walked quietly towards the CEO's office.
Because the door was left ajar, she could peek inside the office.
There was no woman beside Jay. He sat alone in the office chair, with his hands supporting his head.
There were several empty beer bottles in front of him.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Nancy in a low voice.
As soon as she was done scanning the room, Doris pulled Nancy away. "Keep your voice down. Don't
disturb him."
Hearing this, Nancy frowned in confusion. "Don't you want him to go with you?"
Why didn't Doris ask Jay to go with her since she was already here? What was wrong with Doris in the
middle of the night?
"It is fine since I have known that Jay didn't mess around outside. Let's go." Then she held Nancy's
hand and began to walk away from the office.
After entering the elevator, Nancy said, "You are one strange little girl. Jay is drunk. How can you let
him be like this?"
"Didn't you see the water on his table? Yes, he is drunk. But as long as there is water, everything will
be fine. What I want to know is why Jay is drinking. Does he look like he has broken up with his
girlfriend?" asked Doris.
"Well, it seems like he was going through something, but it doesn't mean that he is crossed in love,
right? He has been with you for the past two months. Who did he fall in love with?" said Nancy
scornfully.
With a sigh, Doris replied, "How could I know? Alas, but judging from his pained expression, I feel sorry
for him."
"What are you going to do?" The two of them fell silent for a moment.
If it was in the past, Doris would never leave quietly. She would rush in and yell at Jay until she knew
why he didn't go home and so on.
However, Doris gave him space and freedom this time. She was able to stop herself from nagging at
Jay.
Was this what they called growth?
Or perhaps it was because Doris began to care about her marriage with Jay. No matter what, it was a
good change, wasn't it?
"Take me home. I'll think about it after I get home." Knowing what Doris used to be like, Nancy waited
for her to change her mind. But she couldn't see any hint on Doris' face so she finally said, "Okay."
Then Nancy opened the door on the driver's seat while Doris sat on the passenger seat with an
unreadable expression.
Since it was already late, Nancy didn't bother to get inside Doris' house when they arrived. Doris
thanked her, but she lacked enthusiasm. She knew that both of them were tired so she didn't ask any
more questions and just drove back home.
After returning home, Doris lay on the bed. She couldn't fall asleep since Jay wasn't at home.
Her mind was full of the painful look of Jay.
What on earth had happened to Jay?
Why didn't he tell her?
The second day, after the dawn, Jay didn't come back. Doris was very afraid that Jay would still stay in
his office for the night.
However, he didn't.
Jay came back in the morning, but he looked exhausted.
Doris take the initiative to walk to him and she was nice to him. "Honey, are you busy today?"
Jay gave her a meaningful look.
This silly girl went to his group with Nancy last night. Did she think that he didn't know?
If he didn't know, how could they enter the building?
He let them in.
He thought that Doris was here to take him home, but he didn't expect that she just looked at him
quietly.
Looking at her, Jay said in a low voice, "I'm sorry. Last night..."
Doris interrupted him in a hurry. "It doesn't matter. I know you are busy. You must have gone out to
socialize. You still smell like alcohol. Take off your clothes and I'll ask the servant to wash it."
Jay wanted to explain, but he didn't expect that Doris would considerately interrupt him.
A self-mocking smile appeared on Jay's face.
Doris took off his clothes and handed them to the servant and asked the servant to wash them clean.
"I have prepared breakfast for you. Would you like some?" Asked Doris tentatively.
"Okay." Jay went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Doris quickly put the breakfast on the table and motioned for the nanny to hold Ace downstairs.
The little boy had just woken up, and now his face was red. He looked very cute.
Doris held Ace in her arms.
She sat at the table and played with Ace.
When Jay came over, Doris waved Ace's little hand and said, "Ace, Daddy is here. Let Daddy have a
look at you."
With a forced smile, Jay said, "Okay, Ace, give me a kiss."
Ace grinned at Jay.
He looked adorable.
Jay kissed Ace on the face. "Sweetheart, do you miss Daddy?"
Ace made a sound as if he was answering Jay's question.
Jay was amused by Ace. Ace looked exactly like him and Jay liked him very much.
"Grow up quickly. Daddy will take you to play basketball," said Jay, fiddling with Ace's little hands.
"Have your breakfast now. Or it will be cold soon," Doris said gently.
"Okay." Then Jay sat down and began to have breakfast.
Doris didn't feel hungry at all. She just sat there with Ace in her arms and watched.
In fact, she was waiting for an explanation from Jay.
Waiting for Jay to tell her what happened to him recently.
However, Jay kept silent while eating.
His thin face looked thinner now.
"Is everything okay with the group?" asked Doris.
"Not bad," Jay answered briefly.
"Grandpa... Is he all right?" asked Doris.
"Not bad." There were still two words.
"What about you? Are you in good health?" Doris asked casually.
With a clang, the chopsticks in Jay's hand fell on the table.
