"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
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."
