On their way home, Jay didn’t know what excuse to say. But since Doris had made her own ridiculous
conclusion, he might as well use it as his prevarication. "I didn't go fishing, but I did fall into the river."
"Fell into the river? Well, you have the nerve to say that. You are a living person. Why didn't you go
home last night? Why did you go to the river? Were you dating someone else? Why don't you tell me?"
Out of rage, Doris' head began to ache. What did he do last night? Why couldn't he tell her frankly what
he had been doing these past few days?
"I didn't date anyone. I was just upset, so I went to the river to relax." To avoid any more questions, Jay
walked straight to the bathroom.
Due to this, Doris turned her cold eyes to Hanson which made the latter shiver. "Mrs. Fang, I'm
leaving."
It was obvious that Doris didn't know a single thing about Jay's relationship with Eva.
Even if Hanson knew everything about it, he couldn't say anything since Jay didn't say a word himself.
So he'd better run away.
However, when he was about to walk away, Doris shouted, "Stop!"
Hearing this, Hanson took a deep breath and turned around. "What else can I do for you?"
"Tell me the truth. Where did Jay go last night?" It was not hard to guess that Jay was lying to her.
What she wanted to know most now was why he lied to her. What thing was so important that kept Jay
from coming home last night?
"Mrs. Fang, you have to trust me. I got a call from Mr. Fang this morning, and he asked me to pick him
up by the river, so I drove there. When I arrived, I saw him soaking from water. He said he fell into the
water, so I quickly drove him home. That's it. Trust me." All Hanson did was repeating the words that
Jay said a while ago, so their excuse would matched.
Unable to get something else she wanted to know, Doris asked, "Which river?"
"Ah, it's the Pine River not far away," Hanson said casually.
"Why did he go there?" asked Doris.
"Oh, I don't know. Mrs. Fang, please don't worry about it. When Mr. Fang comes out of the bathroom,
you can ask him yourself. I don't have anything else to explain. I'm leaving. I'm leaving." At this
moment, Hanson had ran out of excuses to say so he had to get away as soon as possible.
Thinking that Hanson was not a liar, Doris believed what he said. "Okay, you can leave now."
After hearing this, Hanson left in a hurry, afraid that Doris would come up with questions again.
As she waited for Jay to finish his shower, Doris decided to cook noodles for him.
Jay, who hadn't slept and ate all night, was now hungry and exhausted.
Therefore, when he came out of the shower, all he wanted to do was to sleep in the bedroom, but he
saw Doris sitting at the table, staring at him coldly.
Her eyes were absolutely colder than her face, which made Jay chuckle.
"Where is Ace?"
"I see, you still have Ace in your heart. But don't worry about the baby now; he's okay. I just want to ask
you, what did you do by the Pine River last night?"
‘The Pine River? Hanson probably made it up.’
"I had told you, I went for a walk to have a rest."
"Did you have that condition again?" The first thing that came to Doris' mind was the condition that
once happened to Jay. Some time ago, he had recovered, but maybe now he had it again. Jay couldn't
face that disease, nor could he face her, so he escaped from her at night.
At the thought of this, Doris took a deep breath. 'Did Jay want to commit suicide when he fell into the
river?'
"No, you think too much. Now I feel that my disorder was extremely ridiculous in the past. Well, as a
man, how could I get that kind of disorder? If you don't have anything else to say, I will sleep." Waving
his hand, Jay began to walk towards their bedroom.
After clearing her throat, Doris said, "I cooked noodles for you. Why don't you eat something before you
go to bed?"
"No, I’m too sleepy to eat anything. I’m going to sleep now." The truth was, Jay was really hungry, but
he was afraid that he had to face Doris' endless questions if he decided to eat now.
Knowing her, she wouldn't stop asking until she got an answer. And right now, Jay still couldn't give her
that. How could he tell her those unbearable past of him?
Therefore, it was better not to say anything that could not be said.
"Well, if you don't eat, I'll eat." Left without a choice, Doris ate a large bowl of noodles herself.
Then she sat on the dining chair and sulked.
There was no doubt that Jay was hiding something from her. She was not blind not to see that.
But why didn't Jay explain? Was it something shameful?
What did he do by the Pine River?
Took a walk? Only ghosts would believe it!
In the end, Doris stood up and went to the bedroom.
When she entered their room, she saw Jay sleeping soundly under the quilt.
A naughty idea came up in her mind, so she took off her clothes and lay down beside Jay.
All of a sudden, a warm feeling came over Jay, but he was too tired and sleepy to do anything, so he
continued to sleep.
Unwilling to give up, Doris scooted closer to him. "You said you are not sick, so I wanted to check if it’s
true."
"I'm not sick and I don't have the strength. If you want to see it, you have to see it another day." In a
daze, Jay turned over and went back to sleep.
At this moment, Doris' mind was full of doubts. How could she let go of Jay? So she came up to him
again.
However, Jay didn't do anything and just let Doris do whatever she wanted.
Doris was so angry that she was in for a penny and in for a pound. She straightened his body and
climbed up on his body.
As a normal man, the heat in him was ignited by her. The beast in him came into life and he plundered
Doris. Although he was sleepy, he still had a good time. His whole body was clear, and it seemed that
the heaviness in his heart had been completely alleviated.
After that, Jay fell asleep, and Doris was even more confused.
With her hands on her sore waist, she was catching her breath.
If there was nothing wrong with Jay, why was he always preoccupied?
The more Doris thought about it, the more confused she became. This question was like a hemp string,
entangled in her heart.
'Forget it. If Jay goes home tonight, I will let it go. If he doesn't, I will think about whether I should find a
private detective to figure it out.
I couldn't just stay unaware of where my husband is going at night.'
It was late in the night that Jay still didn't get up. 'It's late now. I don't think Jay will go out,' Doris
thought.
Therefore, she ordered the cook to cook early and waited for Jay to get up and have a good meal.
After a whole afternoon's sleep, Jay finally woke up. Even so, his spirit was still the same.
He lowered his head and pulled a long face.
Seeing him like this made Doris feel helpless. "Don't you want to eat something?"
"Yes, I do," said Jay in a low voice.
It was Doris who sat at the table first, then Jay followed after washing his hands.
He didn't talk or even look at her which made her angry. He just lowered his head and focused on
eating.
"Jay, don't you have anything to tell me?" asked Doris patiently.
"No," said Jay briefly.
"Last night you..."
