"I didn't receive any news," Dr. Jones said bluntly.
"Didn't Monica tell you? I saw her changing her gown here. I thought you were busy."
"I'm usually very busy." Dr. Jones played dumb.
"Don't you think that the way you and Monica are interacting now is a little strange?"
"What's wrong?" Dr. Jones asked disapprovingly.
"It's been so many years. Not only are you not married, but you don't even attend events together."
"You're overthinking. I don't attend events because it's really difficult for me to integrate into your circle. Previously, I went with Monica for a few, but she could not be at ease at the banquet. That's why I suggested that if it wasn't necessary for me to attend then I won't. She agreed."
"Didn't you notice that you and Monica are getting further and further apart?" Nox could not help but remind him.
"You're thinking too much. We're good together. We've found the best way to get along with each other."
