Nancy was desperate to relax in a quiet place. She wanted to be alone to calm herself down.
As such, she didn’t want to tell Charles and their children.
With a distressed expression, Nancy said, "I don’t want to see him now."
"Why? What happened?" Doris asked worriedly.
"Nothing!"
When she heard Nancy’s dismissive tone, Doris decided not to push the issue. Instead, she smiled and said to Nancy, "Well, come inside!"
"Don’t tell Jay, okay? Otherwise, he will tell Charles!" Nancy warned with a desperate voice.
"Aren’t you worried that he and the kids might grow anxious if they can’t find you?" Doris asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"Am I welcome in your house or not?" Nancy asked with an impatient tone.
"What? Of course, you are!" When she noticed Nancy’s sad tone, Doris speculated that something miserable might have happened. As such, she immediately invited Nancy to her home.
As she breathed a sigh of relief, Nancy ended the call.
Meanwhile, Jay was sitting next to Doris. With a perplexed expression, Jay asked, "What’s wrong with Nancy? She usually has a good temper. However, her tone during that call was quite grim. It’s alarming to hear her speak so strangely."
After thinking for a while, Doris said anxiously, "You’d better call Charles. At least, they won’t feel troubled when
omised, an expression of unease painted his face.
"I don’t believe that you are still in love with me. Right, Nancy?" Doris insisted as she stared daggers at Jay.
Every woman would lose her temper during pregnancy. The hormonal imbalance made them cranky and prone to emotional outbursts. However, Doris’s distrustful attitude and stubbornness were still abnormal.
"Jay, calm down. Doris is pregnant. You should expect her to be extremely emotional. Try to be more tolerant. Okay?" Nancy first consoled the currently helpless Jay. Then, she hugged Doris. As Nancy patted Doris’s back, she said softly, "He didn’t say anything wrong. It’s quite difficult to take care of a pregnant woman. Nonetheless, it’s his responsibility as a father. And even though he complained, Jay is still taking care of you. It’s fine to let him voice out his worries now and then."
"Nancy, you always talk highly of him. Humph!" Although Doris sneered, Nancy’s words got through her. Deep inside, Doris felt much better.
"Okay, let’s eat! I hope that baby comes out healthy," said Nancy with cheerful glee.
"Let’s dig in!" Doris also revealed a warm smile.
When he saw the bright expression on his wife’s face, Jay finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Unfortunately, he had no idea that his wife was scheming a malicious trick on him!
