She shed her tears in agony.Ultimately, she realized that she had allowed her sad emotions to control her. She tried to shake her head, and as the dizziness took over, she realized that her abnormalities might have been caused by another fever.She fought hard to get up and look for a thermometer. She placed it in her mouth and pulled it out five minutes later. It was at 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Hence, she searched for a bottle of ibuprofen from the medicine cabinet and climbed back into bed after taking it.When Jay returned home in the evening, a gentle smile filled his eyes when he saw the unlit house.This afternoon, he had accompanied his father, Jordan, to chat while having tea. The relationship between the father and son grew very rapidly. He presumed that Angeline and his mother were also getting along happily, hence why she had not returned home this late. However, once he entered the bedroom and turned on the wall lamp, Jay was stunned to see a bump on the bed.It tu
“Angeline.” He pushed the door open and embraced Angeline’s waist from behind, reprimanding her gently, “Who gave you permission to cook breakfast?”Angeline looked at Jay with a smirk.Could she say that it was Mom?“I’m not going to be a parasite from now on, Jaybie. I want to help you out with some housework,” said Angeline with a smile.Jay’s cold expression turned dark. “Did my mom say something unpleasant to you?”He turned Angeline over to face him. His eagle-like eyes were looking down on Angeline’s deer-like innocent eyes. “Tell me the truth, Angeline. When you went to Fleeting Time Villa yesterday, did my mother make things hard for you?”Angeline shook her head.Jay saw the redness in Angeline’s eyes. He had known her since she was little, so he was well aware of all the little hints her eyes were giving out.He hugged her sideways and carried her back to the bedroom, declaring domineeringly yet tenderly, “You’re my wife, Angeline. I permit you to be pampered in my
Angeline shook her head and said in a low voice, “I gave it to Mom.”Jay, “...”His anger dissipated immediately.Angeline had only done so because she wanted to please her mother-in-law so badly. Her intentions were merely for his own good as well.He stretched his hands out and pulled the bewildered Angeline into his arms. Then, he continued helplessly, “It’s alright. Come with me to Fleeting Time Villa later and we’ll get it back.”Angeline thought about how her mother-in-law was so furious over the ownership of the jade jewelry yesterday and felt that her mother-in-law minded if Jaybie was thoughtful of her. If Jaybie went over to ask for the jade back, her mother-in-law would be even more annoyed that she was dominating all of Jaybie’s love.“That set of jade jewelry is more suitable for Mom, Jaybie. Let’s just let her have it.” Angeline tried to persuade him.Jay very persistently said, “No. That jade jewelry set has a very special meaning. It’s a gift of love from me to y
Chloe loved her son. However, after giving birth to Jay, the grand old master deprived her of the right to be a mother. Perhaps it was because she had never raised Jay, so she always wanted to get back the mother and son bond they had lost. Hence, she was fighting hard with Angeline for him and had a paranoid possessiveness toward her son.Jay walked toward Fleeting Time Villa’s entrance, and even though the villa’s door was wide open, he still very gentlemanly knocked on the door. It was not until Jordan nodded his head at him that Jay finally stepped in.Through Jay’s little action, Jordan could feel Jay’s slight estrangement with them. A slight worry filled his eyes. He merely hoped that Chloe would notice such tiny details and see how much their child had estranged from them. Perhaps she would restrain her hot temper and improve their mother-son relationship.“Why are you the only one here, JJ?” Chloe glanced outside the door and failed to see Angeline around. There was a smil
“There’s nothing to apologize for between a mother and son,” Chloe said generously.Jay explained bashfully, “Mom, can you return the jewelry that Angeline gave you yesterday?”It was as if Chloe heard the sound of bubbles bursting. The soft, crisp sound brought out her internal anger.It turned out her precious son was not here to apologize for Angeline but to support her instead.“I gave it away,” Chloe said coldly.Jay was dumbfounded. He would never have thought that his mother would give away the jewelry Angeline had gifted to her to someone else so quickly. Was this not her belittling Angeline’s kind intentions?“Mom, if you didn’t like Angeline’s gift, you should’ve returned it to her. After all, it’s her precious jewelry. How could you so easily give it away to someone else?” Jay restrained his anger and tried his best to make himself behave with grace.Chloe retorted, “Didn’t she give away your gift to her as well? Jay, you can tolerate her trampling on your gift, but
Baby Robbie said sorrowfully, “Mommy, the sisters are worried about their future.”Angeline smiled and said, “I’ve discussed this matter with your dad. All of you will stay with us for the time being. When we return to Imperial Capital, we’ll mobilize all our forces to find your parents for you.”When the sisters heard her words, there was surprise in their eyes. However, their joy quickly dissipated when Sis Eight said, “My father and mother died in a car accident. I don’t have any more relatives.”Angeline walked toward Dahlia, took her hand, and comforted her lovingly. “Then, are you willing to stay by my side and be my daughter?”Dahlia raised her eyes, utterly awestruck. Tears rolled down her cheeks. “Are you really willing to take me in?”The other girls looked at Dahlia with envy. They had been chatting more with Baby Robbie these days and learned from him that Angeline was a reasonable, gentle, and kind-hearted mom. They were pretty jealous of Baby Robbie and Jenson for ha
After they left the medical clinic, Angeline could not wait any longer and asked Jay, “Did you get the jewelry back?”Jay’s expression turned sad. “My mother gave it to Judy.”Angeline was in a daze, and her expression grew dark. She sighed sorrowfully. “In her heart, Judy’s the most desirable daughter-in-law.”Jay pulled Angeline’s hand and interlaced their fingers tightly together. Jay explained to her meaningfully, “Angeline, whether or not the shoe fits, only I know. In this lifetime, you’re the only one for me.”Angeline abruptly smiled at him.“Then, do you still want the jewelry?” Angeline asked.Jay replied unhesitatingly, “We have to get it back.”Angeline was starting to feel that Jay was overly obsessed with this jade jewelry set, so she was slightly curious. “Jaybie, is there anything special about this set of jewelry?”Jay looked at Angeline’s long, black hair that was as shiny as a waterfall. Then, he ran his fingers through her hair twice. A few fallen strands we
Jay rolled his eyes at him. “And how do you plan to feed them? Are you going to let them eat plain bread every single day?”Zayne, “...”Josephine suddenly walked out holding a spatula and said arrogantly, “I’m already learning. Can’t you see my efforts? I’ll immerse myself in learning all sorts of culinary skills in the future. I’ll be cooking Mexican, French, and even Italian cuisine. I can guarantee they’ll turn fat under our care!”Everyone in the room looked at Josie in a daze.From Josie’s uncontrollable emotions, they could see that she had a strong inferiority complex over her inability to have children.Angeline felt sorry for Josie. “Josie, if you want to adopt a child, you can go to an orphanage to adopt a suitable baby in the future. This way, you’re able to appreciate the happiness of motherhood. You can’t decide on these things so hastily just to fulfill Zayne’s whims.”Zayne lowered his head in shame. “It’s alright, Josie. We don’t need one. You’re more than enough
