"Doris, what are you saying? Ace is a boy. If he doesn't like girls, do you want him to like boys?" With a
snicker, Jay turned to Ace. "Right, Ace? You can't listen to your Mommy's nonsense."
"Jay, why do you twist my words? You are unreasonable!" Doris snapped.
"Honey, I'm just kidding. I don't have anything else to do. I just want to play with my wife and child,
okay?" In front of his wife and his child, Jay felt so carefree and happy. He liked teasing Doris from time
to time.
"You already have a son, but you're still immature. I wonder how Eva fell in love with you back then."
There was a hint of disgust in Doris' voice.
'Doris, you are really good at ruining the atmosphere!'
As soon as he heard Eva's name, Jay felt heavy as if he was being pressed by a giant stone.
"Don't mention her name in front of me again, okay?" said Jay impatiently.
"What's wrong? Can't I say her name?" It was not a secret to her that Eva's name would annoy Jay, but
Doris deliberately said it to provoke him.
As a result, Jay's face darkened. He was about to turn around and leave with Ace when his phone
suddenly rang.
Seeing Pam's name on the screen, Jay quickly answered it.
"Jay, are you busy now?" Pam asked politely.
It was Pam who took the initiative to call, so even if he was busy, Jay would definitely stop what he was
doing. But since he was free now, he didn't have to. "Mrs. Su, I'm not busy. What can I do for you?"
"Well, Jay, the new energy industry is in full swing now. I also want to have a try. Come to my house if
you are free, so we can discuss it."
Somehow, it felt weird that Pam talked to him kindly. After all, she used to be so fierce as if she was
going to swallow Jay alive every time she saw him.
"Okay, I'll be there now." Right after the call ended, Jay handed Ace to Doris. "I'm going out."
"Is it Eva again?" Doris took Ace over discontentedly.
"It's Mrs. Su. She said she wanted to see me." Not wanting to argue, Jay chose to give a brief answer.
"Are you going to Su family house again?" Her cold eyes were fixated on him as she spoke, which
made Jay feel a little nervous.
So, he explained, "I'm going to their house, not for Eva, but for Mrs. Su."
"Humph, Jay, stop denying it. Didn't Pam call you for Eva's sake? Do you think I'm a fool? Why can't
she talk to you tomorrow in your office if it is really about business? It's getting dark outside. Why did
she ask you to go to her house at this time? And now you're telling me that you're not going there for
Eva? I'm not stupid!"
What Doris said made him unable to refute, because Jay knew that she was somehow correct. "Then
do you want me to bring you and Ace with me?"
Without a second thought, Doris replied, "Of course! That's what we were talking about just now!"
"Okay, let's go." It was not that he didn't want to introduce them to Eva. He was only hesitant because it
was already too late for Ace to go out. But he knew he couldn't win against her, so he took Ace from
her and said, "Go and change your clothes."
"Okay." Then she turned around and walked into the dressing room.
Looking at her back, Jay couldn't help but smile helplessly. He hoped that everything would be okay
tonight.
It took more than twenty minutes for Doris to prepare. She put makeup on her face, then wore a blue
cashmere dress, which made Jay's eyes sparkle.
"You have the same figure as before, Doris."
"Well, it didn't change much. But then again, I have given birth to Ace. Compared to those young girls, I
am..."
Afraid that she would mention about his past again, Jay interrupted her in a hurry. "No! You are more
charming than those young girls. I like the way you look. Let's go."
The past was in the past. He was no longer the playboy he used to be.
And he was already responsible enough to be the man of their family.
With a smile, Doris took Ace over. "Thank you for your love. Let's go." Then she poked her head out
and gave him a quick kiss.
For a split second, Jay was speechless as he touched his face, then he shook his head and followed
them out.
The three of them soon arrived at the Su family residence. Pam was already waiting at the gate. She
didn't expect that Doris and Ace would be there too.
Therefore, she was stunned to see the three of them got out of the car. "Oh, you have brought your
wife and son with you."
"Yes. I want to introduce them to Eva. Well, this is my son."
As if he knew he was being introduced, Ace winked at Pam.
Although Pam was displeased, she tried her best to hold back her anger.
"The little guy is so cute. What's his name?" Right now, Pam was hesitating whether she should let
them see Eva or not.
It was easy if Jay came alone. After all, Eva wanted to see him. But what about Doris?
What would happen if she appeared in front of Eva?
Would Eva get hurt?
"His name is Ace." It was Doris who answered.
Seeing the proudness in her eyes, Pam forced a smile. "Well, it sounds good."
Trying to break the awkward atmosphere, Jay asked, "Where is Eva? Is she still awake?"
"She is still awake. Come on, let's go inside."
"Okay." With Ace in his arms, Jay followed Doris and Pam into the living room.
"If you have business to talk about, I'll take Ace to Eva." Until now, Doris was still wondering if Eva still
loved Jay. She also wanted to know why she called him even when she knew he was married.
Why did she do that?
"It's not urgent. You're all here as my guests. We can talk about business another day no matter how
important it is. Let's go. I'll accompany you to see Eva." Pam turned to Ace and said, "Am I right, Ace?
You are the most obedient child in the world."
To be honest, she was worried that the sudden appearance of Doris and Ace would irritate Eva.
For so many years, Eva had been like a flower growing in a greenhouse that couldn't withstand any
wind or rain. That was why Pam didn't know how she would behave once she saw Doris and Ace.
She shouldn't have taken the risk, but how could she refuse when they were already here?
While going upstairs, Pam kept praying that Eva had fallen asleep, so that she wouldn't need to see
Doris and Ace.
The door was closed, and the only light turned on was the table lamp so it was a little dark.
After taking a deep breath, Pam knocked on the door. "Eva, are you asleep?"
In her mind, Pam was hoping that Eva wouldn't answer her. In that way, she could tell Jay and Doris
that she had fallen asleep. She would apologize to them and suggested that they go downstairs to talk.
To her dismay, she heard Eva's weak voice. "No, Mom. I'm still awake."
As a matter of fact, Eva became more alert when she heard a car stop in the courtyard.
Her heart hammered in her chest, knowing that it was Jay.
Finally, he came again.
As long as she asked him to, he would come.
