Chapter 377 Self Deception

Nancy wished she could tell him what happened. How was she going to explain this to Jay?

"Don’t worry, Jay. I’m sure she’ll be back soon," she said, drawing a smile.

But although Nancy said that, even she was not sure when Doris would come back. She only stated that to calm the obviously anxious Jay, who had been pacing back and forth while fidgeting.

The latter suddenly stopped on his tracks and turned to face her with a stern expression. "Nancy, I’m sure you know that Doris is pregnant. If something terrible happens to her and the baby, can you imagine the consequences? I know it has nothing to do with you, but how can you feel at ease when your friend is missing? The baby she’s carrying is my child, the heir of Fang Group!"

Jay’s tone started with worry, and then eventually turned into a warning towards the end.

Nancy, too, was worried.

If something bad really happened to Doris and her baby, she would carry the guilt for the rest of her life!

"Felix Mu took Doris away, and before they left, I sensed that she was not in good condition!" Nancy managed to say after heaving a sigh.

"Where did they go? Tell me!" Evidently angry, Jay firmly grasped both her shoulders as his voice thundered.

"I don't know! I really don't know! I drove back alone, so I don't know where they could possibly have gone to!"

At this point,

ly tell what I’m feeling? I can take care of myself, Felix. So now, please see your way out!" Doris looked up at the villa anxiously, fearing that Jay would suddenly come out and see them.

Fortunately, there was no movement inside, and she could see only some of the lights lit.

"Doris, I love you. I always do even after all these years!" Felix confessed in a soft tone. Then, taking a step closer, he held her hand tightly and added, "No one in the world knows you better than I do. Be with me!"

Hearing this sudden revelation, Doris was stunned to her feet. Her eyes grew wide open while her mouth hung agape, and for a while, she was lost for words to say.

Be with Felix? That had been her dream when she was young. And after all those years, he grew into a handsome man she had always imagined.

But dreams did not always mirror reality. And right now, her reality was very different from the life she had imagined as a kid.

It was just her self-deception, a way to trick herself. She lied to Nancy and the others just to numb her pain and protect her poor self-esteem!

After so many years, she had almost forgotten about him!

It had been a very long time after all, and the memory of her past was buried with the tragedy that befell on her and her family.

But now, how could he suddenly appear in her life and ask her to be with him?
