Charles clamped both hands on Dorothy's arm and demanded. He sounded so desperate.
Then he pulled her closer and kissed on her lips.
However, Dorothy didn't dodge. Instead, she just wrapped her arms around his neck.
However, when Charles felt her breath, he widened his eyes in horror. "No! You're not Nancy."
Dorothy smiled seductively, "Charles, I'm Dorothy. Your beloved Dorothy!"
"Go away! I don't want to see you!"
"I'm leaving now, Charles. Don't worry, I won't disturb your rest!"
Charles pushed Dorothy away from him and then fell back on the bed, mumbling Nancy's name for the whole night.
So when he heard Jay mentioning Dorothy's name, he was very upset.
Jay paused for a while.
Then he decided to maintain it as a secret and not to tell Charles about Doris.
Nancy seemed to have her peaceful life back.
On most occasions, Doris went to the kindergarten to pick up Nadia.
Doris often came across Charles in the kindergarten. He was as before, noble, motionless and handsome.
Doris greeted him actively, "Mr. Fu, are you here to pick up Bobby?"
With a frown, Charles glanced at her and said, "Yeah."
It happened everytime.
Doris was clueless. She knew Charles was a cold and straightforward person, but couldn't he just say one more word? He wouldn't lose anything by doing that, right?
It would be fine even if he asked about Nancy. In fact, Doris would love to talk about her.
But he didn't say anything. He remained detached and unconcerned.
It seemed as if he had completely forgotten Nancy.
Men were really ruthless.
When Doris had a date with Jay in the bar, she discussed with him about it.
Gazing at her, Jay smiled.
"What? Am I wrong?"
"Doris, you have two qualities. Which one would you prefer to hear first, the good one or the bad one?"
Raising her eyebrows, she looked at Jay and said, "I am full of good qualities, no bad ones."
Rubbing his forehead with his hand, Jay looked up and sighed, "Look at me. I shouldn't say that, should I?"
He paused for a while and then continued, "Doris, you are a straightforward person, which I think is a good point about you. But don't be so naive to think that everyone in the world would be like you, especially a man like Charles who is so used to giving orders to others. He's not going to tell you everything directly, you should guess some of them."
"Damn it! I have been very tired of working every day. How can I have the time to read his mind? Well, he can say it to me clearly if he has something to say. And if he doesn't have anything to say, just forget it. It's tiring!" As she spoke, she took a sip of her cocktail.
"Charles doesn't like you picking up Nadia. Don't you know that? If you stop going, Nancy will go herself. Then Charles can meet Nancy, but you just ruin his chance. Do you think you are smart or stupid?"
Though in a trance, Doris couldn't help but give a smile. She put her hand on Jay's shoulder and said, "Jay, you are indeed smarter than me."
"Well, can I take it as your admiration to me?" Jay stared at her affectionately.
"Admiration? It seems you are thinking too much!"
Reminded by Jay, Doris thought she was so stupid that she couldn't even understand why Charles was indifferent to her.
So she decided not to pick up Nadia from the kindergarten from the next day on.
The next afternoon, Doris rang up Nancy.
