Doris barely finished talking, when Jay opened the door and walked out.
The only thing that covered his body was a towel around his waist. Most of his chiseled body was exposed and he looked quite ravishing. Doris was suddenly flushed. She swallowed a mouthful of water before saying, "Jay, it's the first time I've found that you're handsome.”
With a devilish grin, he said, "Of course I am. Otherwise, how else would I become such a star in this city?"
He then playfully brushed his hair aside.
"Jay, you are so conceited. A star? Are you delusional? I think the only eyes you attract are the older women's," Doris mocked.
"What are you talking about? Every woman likes me, whether young or old!" Jay laughed proudly at the disgusted look on her face.
Doris held her belly tightly with her hands. She was in very obvious discomfort.
"Anyway, there's no time to be jealous now. Go take a shower. I'll go get you something to eat." Jay snapped his fingers, rushing her and then walked out.
Doris stood up lazily but still seemed to be chipper.
She smiled and walked into the bathroom. It seemed that Jay wasn't as awful as she thought.
She didn't expect him to be so helpful and kind. She took out her green silk pajamas but before she could put them on, the door suddenly opened.
"What?" Doris was in such a panic she didn't even think about covering herself up. She just stood in front of Jay, stark naked.
Jay's jaw dropped at the sight of her. Even though she was pregnant, she was absolutely breathtaking.
"Jay, why didn't you knock before you came in?" Doris, still in a panic, covered herself with some clothes. She didn't put them on but just held it against her bare body.
Now Jay was the flustered one. He gulped loudly and was at a loss for words. He stared at her and said, "I... How was I supposed to know? I just came in and saw you like this. You... Aren't you going to change into your pajamas?"
Then he closed the door again.
The stunned Doris finally came to her senses. "You're still here. How can I change now?"
"We are a couple. What's the point in hiding from me?" He quickly realized the bowl in his hand was actually piping hot. He rushed to the bedside table and set it down.
Doris felt like crying but had no tears.
She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Jay! You want to die, don't you?"
"Just hurry up and eat the noodles. My baby is hungry. I feel so bad for it!” Then he sat on the bed and stared at her with a smirk.
Clenching her teeth angrily, she said, "Jay! Just wait and see what happens!"
She then angrily stomped off into the bathroom with her clothes.
She raised her voice in an attempt to try and be intimidating but it seemed completely ineffective. If anything he seemed even more confident. He stood proudly in front of her and didn't even budge. What was the point?
Jay's mind was filled with the image of Doris' standing before him.
"Wait!" A mischievous smile crept on his face. He seemed to be plotting something.
When Doris walked out of the bathroom, she was finally dressed. She stared at him and asked, "What are you looking at?"
'Tm just looking at our baby. Hurry up and eat something, or our baby will starve to death!" said Jay sadly.
"Just because you made the effort to cook, I won't make a fuss." She was in too much pain to argue anyway. Doris quietly raised the bowl to her face and began eating.
She took a bite and grinned smugly.
"What? Does it taste bad?" asked Jay. It was the first time he cooked so he was eager to know what he'd done wrong.
"Jay, have a try. Then you can know whether it tastes good or not." Doris handed the bowl to him.
He took a bite and waited to see what was wrong with the taste. He quickly realized the problem, there was no taste at all!
