“Plenty of women like me. Why would I care about her? Lewis frowned slightly.

I think you’re just afraid that if you put in the effort and Doris still doesn’t like you, it’ll hurt your pride, Janice teased.

“I’m the one who doesn’t like her,” Lewis corrected her.

Janice sighed, “As my son, you really have so little confidence? That’s honestly disappointing”

“I already said–I don’t like her.” Lewis emphasized again.

“Fine, so you don’t like her,” Janice humored him. “But if you don’t like her, why are you so mad? Why are you living separately?”

“Mom, I have to get to work.” Lewis refused to continue the conversation.

“Lewis, liking Doris isn’t something to be embarrassed about. Wouldn’t it be great if she liked you too?” Janice had no intention of letting this go.

“You need to be more mature. No matter what happens in the future, you’re still married right now. Doris is your wife. If you made her upset, why not coax her a little?”

“If you want someone to coax her, go find someone else. I’m not doing it.” Lewis deliberately slowed down his words to emphasize his refusal. Lewis hurriedly left the villa.

Janice watched his tall and upright back and said, “You’re bound to go back on your words.”

As soon as Lewis got into the car, his phone rang.

He thought it was Janice, relentless in her attempt to “teach him a lesson,” but when he looked at the screen, Doris‘ name was flashing.

He hesitated before answering the call.

Doris‘ voice was gentle on the other end. “Mr. Hartman, are you free tonight?”

“What do you need?” he asked calmly.

“If you have time, could you come back to Greenlake Hill for dinner? I have something important to discuss with you,” Doris stated her purpose.
