Sweet Twins

Chapter 520 An Exception

"Nancy, do you think we will always love each other in the future? I mean, for the rest of our lives... Do you think we will still love each other the same way we do now?" All of a sudden, the future had crossed Charles' mind. He wanted to know if he and Nancy had the same thoughts.

With a shrug, Nancy replied, "I want to, but the rest of our lives seem too long. I'd better live in the moment. We don't know what the future holds. I think what's more important is to be happy in the present."

"It sounds like you don't have faith in our future. Nancy, you may not trust anyone, but you must trust me."

"It's not that I don't believe you, but I can't help but doubt men in general... For example, Jay... Why did he change so quickly? Back then, he was a womanizer until he fell in love with Doris and changed his ways. But now... It looks like he's back to his old self." With this thought, Nancy couldn't help but sigh. "I feel sorry for Doris. She doesn't deserve it!"

"Jay is sick. That's an exception. It's unreasonable," Charles explained.

"How is he now?" asked Nancy.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him since we parted ways that night. You know, I'm very busy." Charles was a little disappointed in what Nancy said.

Shouldn't he be different from all the men in Nancy's eyes? How could she lose confidence in him just because of Jay's illness?

It was unfair to him.

As for Jay... They couldn't deny Jay's love for Doris just because he was sick.

It was true that Jay was a playboy, but people could change. Charles had seen how Jay changed for his love for Doris.

As for what happened in the bar a few days ago, couldn't Doris understand Jay?

After all, Jay was still a man. Everyone would feel down at times and needed to be understood and tolerated.

If only Doris could put up with it for a while, Jay would be fine.

It was not that Doris couldn't give him space. She just didn't understand him.

How could such a fierce and powerful man like Jay suddenly become impotent?

And Jay's illness seemed to be very serious.

What annoyed Doris more was that there was no sign of recovery for Jay.

Would she spend the rest of her life like this?

This was something Doris couldn't accept at all.

But of course, no matter how hard the situation was, she couldn't give up on her man so easily.

Later that night, Doris waited in the living room until Jay came home.

It could be seen that her eyes were red from crying as she stared at Jay.

She was really sad. Jay shouldn't have lied to her.

Why did he say he was in a social engagement when he was really out in a bar with other women? NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Apparently, Jay felt guilty as he saw the look on Doris' face. "It's so late. Why don't you go to bed?"

"I can't fall asleep without you." At this moment, Doris was in a low spirit. She had no strength to confront him about his lies.

"I'm here now. Let's go to bed."

"Us?"

"Us..." A lump formed in Jay's throat as he felt guiltier. As Doris' husband, even if he couldn't do anything, he should at least accompany her. It was his duty to take care of his wife.

To stay with her.

However, an intimate scene between Jay and other women suddenly flashed in Doris' eyes. In an instant, she disliked Jay, thinking he was dirty and there were other women's smell on him.

"Go take a shower first."

"Okay." Of course, Jay had to take a shower. He drank a lot in the bar, not to mention that he had held Joseph for a while. They both reeked alcohol and Joseph's smell was mixed with his, which was very unpleasant.

They both walked towards the bathroom. Jay would take a shower and she had to wash her face.

Right after she washed her face, she went out of the bathroom and sat in front of her mirror to apply night cream on her face.

Her reflection showed how listless she was and that she looked older than her age.

Maybe it was because she had given birth that her skin was dull.

This was not what she wanted. She needed to look fresh and energetic.

As soon as she was done with her night routine, she went back to bed.

The bathroom door opened and the sound of hair dryer was heard.

It didn't take long until the footsteps came closer. The bedroom door opened and he came in.

The moment the door opened, Doris closed her eyes lightly.

Thinking that she was asleep, Jay quietly lay down beside her.

Then he turned off the light.

Doris heard that Jay breathed out a sigh of relief.

If she was really asleep, he would be relieved.

But Doris turned over and put her arms around Jay's neck.

"I miss you, Jay. Why don't you want me?"

As he kissed her hair, Jay forced himself not to remember Doris' face when she had given birth, but his heart skipped a beat and his mind was immediately in turmoil.

"Doris, I'm just a little tired..."

"How long will you remain tired? Don't you love me anymore? Have you fallen in love with another woman? If you are not interested in me tonight, we can separate for a while. What do you think?"

It was said that love was like the sand in one's hand. The tighter one held it, the easier it would vanish.

But if he didn't hold it tightly, he would lose it. Then he would have no other choice but to let it go.

Doris was reluctant to part with him.

After a short pause, Jay said, "Give me some time."

Without saying a word, Doris nodded and gradually withdrew her arms.

Since she got nothing from him tonight, Doris fell asleep with a heavy heart.

On the next morning, Jay was already gone when she woke up.

Not long after she got out of the bed, she heard the sound of a car from the courtyard.

"Doris, I've brought the kids to see you. They want to see Ace."

Doris' tears fell in an instant.

It felt like Nancy's heart was being squeezed as she watched her cry in grievance. "What's wrong?"

Nancy knew that Doris didn't have a good time last night.

But Nancy didn't get enough sleep either last night because she was waiting for Charles.

What she was afraid of the most was that Doris might get postpartum depression.

This condition was so serious that people who got it could end up committing suicide.

Sniffing, Doris stated, "Jay doesn't love me anymore!"

Not knowing how to make her feel lighter, Nancy held the two kids and tried to change the topic. "Well... Don't think too much. Let's have a look at Ace, kids."

"Okay, Ace just woke up. The nanny is looking after him. Come here." It was obvious that Doris was not in high spirits. She looked like a ghost with no emotion at all.

Upon hearing this, Bobby and Nadia jumped in excitement.

The two kids ran towards Ace's bed and played with him.

"Last night, Jay came home very late." As Doris spoke, her face was still emotionless.

"I know. Charles came home late too. Don't think too much," Nancy comforted her.

"Did you ask Charles to look for Jay?"

"Yes. I was afraid that you might think too much, so I dragged Charles up and asked him to go to the bar for Jay. Jay should have been home early, but something happened to the both of them."
