Baby Zetty and Jenson ate breakfast with ashen looks on their faces.Zayne, Grayson, and Finn hung their heads low. They dared not look into his eyes.“Where’s Angeline?” Jay asked. There was a bone-piercing coldness to his voice.No one dared answer.“Where’s Angeline?” Jay roared.His voice was like thunder booming through the air, shocking everyone until they quaked in their boots.Only then did everyone look at him with fear on their faces.Jenson sighed and explained. “Daddy, Aunt Josephine brought Mommy to Grand Asia Hospital.”Jay suddenly realized that it was the day of Shirley’s surgery. Angeline must have been worried about her, so she asked Josephine to quietly bring her to the hospital.Those things that she said to Josephine yesterday were just a diversion to make him believe that she would stay at home.Jay turned around, went back upstairs, and quickly had a change of clothes. He did not even bother acknowledging or greeting everyone else as he hurriedly rushed
Angeline never expected Jay to arrive that quickly. Her delicate and pretty face suddenly had a look of guilt on it.“Jaybie?” she cried out with a shaky voice.Jay was heaving at that point, his fury emanating all around him.However, he could not be angry at Angeline, so he had no choice but to throw his anger aside.After he suppressed his wrath, Jay then slowly walked toward Angeline, squatted down, and hugged her.“Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming to the hospital? Don’t you know that I’ll be worried about you?” His tone made him sound like a child who was being forced to eat his greens.Angeline caressed his head and replied with guilt in her heart, “Jaybie, it’s because I'm afraid that you’ll be worried about me that I asked Zayne and Grayson to come over and chat with you. That way, they can probably share your worries and burden.”Jay replied, “What’s there to chat between them and me?”Josephine suddenly had a bad feeling, so she stood up silently.Jay was
There was nothing but coldness on Josephine’s side.On the other hand, everything was well over at Angeline’s side.The look in Jay’s eyes made Zayne feel exasperated as he looked at Josephine who was leaning on him like an invertebrate. He said to her, “Don’t be afraid. When your brother wants to settle the score with you, just blame it all on Angeline. I don’t believe that he’ll be angry with Angeline, will he?”Josephine looked at Jay being all lovey-dovey at Angeline. Jay’s eyes looked so soft and gentle that she had no idea how all of that sharpness in his pupils managed to fade without a trace.Josephine suddenly realized what Zayne said was reasonable. With Angeline as her support, Josephine mustered her confidence and straightened her back.“Sis Angeline, I’m sorry. I’ll have to sell you out to save myself,” said Josephine.Jenson rolled his eyes at her. “Shameless.”Josephine, “...”At that moment, Jay suddenly called out, “Jens.”Jenson moved his feet, his hands in h
How were they supposed to chat now that they were sitting that far away from each other?Upstairs in Tempest’s ward.When Jay pushed open the door, he saw numerous tubes plugged into Tempest as he lay there with just a sliver of life left. Jay’s heart hurt when he saw him like that.He walked over and sat on the chair beside the bed, slowly caressing Tempest’s arm that was packed with needles.Pain overflowed from his heart and it showed in his eyes as well. “Tempest, thank you for protecting me with your body. Thank you so much.”When the doctor entered the room, he explained Tempest’s condition to him, “His vitals are stable, but I have no idea why he’s still not conscious yet.”Jay’s expression was solemn. He forcefully grabbed Tempest’s hand, probably because his emotions were slightly out of control.Tempest’s finger trembled slightly in his palm.Jay felt that delicate move and excitedly asked Tempest, “Tempest, can you hear me?”Tempest’s eyelashes twitched.Jay then c
Angeline felt that something was off, so she asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Jaybie?”Jay replied with a hollow tone in his voice, “Nothing, just two stray dogs blocking our way.”The old lady’s body was bent forward as if she was sweeping leaves off the ground. She was shaking and quivering intensely as those eyes of hers suddenly teared up.At that moment, Jenson spoke up, his voice cold as ice, “Daddy, you get Mommy away from here. I’ll handle this.”“Mm.”Jay walked away with Angeline in his arms.Sera shrank away in her shell with all the shame and guilt in the world. Only now she had the guts to look up and watch Jay leave with Angeline.When she saw Jay holding Angeline in his arms so intimately, Sera suddenly thought of the day she first met Jay.On that day, Jay had come to visit Angeline in Swallow City.It was in the courtyard when she first saw him. He was young, unrelenting, and enveloped in a cold aura. She was charmed and bewitched by his nobility and elegance.
Sera’s tears flowed freely.She was wrong from the very start.From the moment Jay chose Angeline, he had already cultivated her to be the perfect person for him.Angeline was kind, yet not timid.Independent, but not headstrong.She was the most suitable person for Jay.When Jay was strong and capable, she could just submit to him and be concerned about dressing herself.When Jay was at his lowest point, she could defend his glory even when she was sick.On the other hand, that desire to enter his heart was the most horrible mistake she made.Jenson looked at Madam Ares like he was looking at a stray dog.Madam Ares put her dignity aside and begged him, saying, “Jens, I beg of you to please help Aunt Sera and get her into Grand Asia Hospital. She’s still so young. Nothing should happen to her leg, right?”Jenson’s voice was cold and cutting as he questioned them, “You care so much about her leg, but why didn’t I see you being concerned about my mommy’s health?”Madam Ares
Jay took out some dessert and heard what Jenson said, so he praised him. “Well done.”Angeline could not help but sigh.Jenson and Jay looked at each other. The devious big and little wolves had not expected that Angeline was that sharp. She actually managed to guess what they meant.Jenson nodded. “Mm.”Jay put the dessert in Angeline’s hand, pampering her like she was the most precious thing in the world. “Darling, this is the fruit pizza that you wanted. Why don’t you try it out? I added some rose petals, oranges, oh, and a few pieces of bitter gourd too. Since you’re so smart, I think you’re able to guess the concept that I used to make the pizza. Can you tell me what it is?”Angeline pushed the plate away and said, “Jaybie, you’re quite talkative today!”Jay backed off to the side in distress while giving his son a thumbs-up as if he was allocating the task of coaxing Angeline to Jenson.Jenson walked over to his mommy and held her hand obediently like a toothless cub.“Mo
Angeline smiled back. “I know that you guys are being so vicious to them because you love me, so why would I stop you from loving me?”Jay slouched on the couch. “I was afraid that I would make you unhappy.”Zayne and Josephine stood at the door where they saw everything. They burst into laughter, saying, “The infamous crown prince is completely submitting to his wife.”Jay asked them arrogantly, “So submitting to your wife is a shameful thing?”He retorted in a way that shut Zayne up.Angeline grabbed the fruit pizza and began chowing down on it. Its slight bitterness was covered by the sweetness of the orange.Angeline raised her hand. “Jaybie, this pizza means to say that sweetness will come after the bitterness ends?”Jay grabbed her head and sweetly kissed her forehead. “You got it.”Angeline continued her praise, saying, “It’s delicious.”Zayne and Angeline walked over.Zayne grabbed a pizza and had a taste. He frowned as he complained, “I thought that it would be a tas
