Since Angeline was quick-witted, she immediately understood her brother’s implied meaning.“Mom just thinks that Jaybie shouldn’t be waiting on me because she’s stubbornly set in her old ways.” Angeline was seething.Zayne continued, “You can trample all over him when there are no outsiders around. But you should at least play pretend around his family.”Angeline rolled her eyes at him. She was contemptuous of Zayne’s proposal.She wanted to continue being herself in front of everyone.However, Zayne’s little reminder had also evoked her feelings of sadness and made her recall her wounds. Chloe disliked her, and she felt uncomfortable around Chloe. It was as if there were a couple of dark clouds above her head, making her feel very depressed and gloomy. If Chloe were someone else, Angeline could avoid her entirely out of fear. However, Chloe was her mother-in-law. She would not be able to shake off this cloud her entire life.She felt awful just thinking about it.When Jay c
In the evening.Jay and Angeline had done a meaningful task.Jay had thought of new beautiful names for the sisters of the military intelligence division. However, because they were not sure whether these children would stay with them long, the names had been sealed temporarily.He and Zayne had also brought out the precious stones as they had decided to make each of them a unique commemorative gem necklace. Angeline and Josie were on the sofa with their phones. They were trying to pick out clothes and daily necessities suitable for the sisters’ ages.Jay was afraid that Angeline would catch a cold, so he ordered Zayne, “Bring her a blanket.”Zayne stood up and walked to the bedroom, but his mouth did not stay silent. “Other households’ women are all busy in their halls and kitchen. They’re capable of doing everything. But our households’ ladies are lazy, like pigs. They lie down right after eating, and they’re not worried of getting dragged into the slaughterhouse.”Josie and
Angeline looked at the abnormal Jay and her heart felt inexplicably sour. She had to force a smile and say, “Nonsense. The hair in the jade belongs to Jaybie and me. Even if Judy has taken it, I’m sure it changes nothing.”“Angeline, get it back,” Jay suddenly ordered in a deep voice. Angeline replied, “Don’t worry, Jaybie. I’ll get my precious jewelry back. It’s just that I haven’t thought of a good reason for Judy to return it to me willingly.”Jay said arrogantly, “Just tell her that your initials are written on it and it’s yours.”Angeline was slightly stunned. “My name’s on it?”Josephine smiled. “That’ll make things easier.”Josephine then dragged Angeline and walked out.Zayne looked at the gloomy-faced Jay, and for some reason, Zayne’s mood became irritated as well.“Hey, since your mother is so against our Angel, will you give up on this relationship because of your mother?” Zayne asked him uneasily.Jay glared at him viciously.Zayne was not one to give up without
Angeline suddenly felt as if a thunderstorm had struck her. She was so petrified that she stood still in the same spot. She was afraid of Chloe, and it was now an instinctive reaction. The muscles in Chloe’s face had atrophied, and she was staring at Angeline fiercely with her pair of withered-looking eyes. Angeline was so horrified it was as if she had seen a ghost.“Mom,” she called out while trembling.“I’ve given the jade to Judy, Angeline. Hence, that’s Judy’s private property. You’re not qualified to ask for it back.” Chloe sat on the wheelchair, oozing with a frightening aura.Angeline explained in a low voice, “Mom, my name’s engraved on the jade jewelry. There are also strands of my and Jaybie’s hair inside of it. It’s not an appropriate gift for Judy. I’ll give another one that looks exactly the same to her next time, okay?”Chloe sneered and said, “Jay’s hair is inside? That’s great. If the jade is given to Judy, that means Jay and Judy will grow old together.”She
Josie hugged her and wailed. “You scared me to death, Sis Angeline.”Angeline sat up weakly and said wearily, “I think I’ve gotten my grandfather’s disease.”Josie widened her eyes in horror. “What did you say?”Angeline’s eyes appeared tearful. “Before my grandfather was paralyzed, he would have repeated fevers and panic attacks because of emotional issues.”Josie started crying. “What should we do? I think your illness will only get worse if you stay in Yorks Stronghold, Sis Angeline. How about you return to the capital as soon as possible? Without Chloe around to trigger you, your emotions wouldn’t be fluctuating so badly.”Angeline gave it a thought and nodded.Once Angeline returned to Green Plum Town, she had another fever. Angeline reacted as always and quickly pulled out the medicine box to take the bottle of ibuprofen.Jay came home a little later.When he saw Angeline standing in front of the French window, her slender figure looking so lonely, Jay felt distressed and
Jay was frightened, fearing that Monster’s vicious plan was getting his revenge using Angeline’s body.He must find out about this matter as soon as possible.Hence, early in the morning, Jay went to a small bamboo house on the top of Mount Pearl.When Master Zack saw Jay, he was no longer as hostile as the first time he saw him since Master Zack was rather fond of him and admired this God-given apprentice.Jay’s strategies and ability to plan victory from thousands of miles away, saving hundreds of thousands of Yorks Stronghold citizens, was not in the least an inferior achievement compared to his oldest apprentice, Zechariah. Zack admired his incredible talent and courage.Seeing Jay, his face that was covered in frost all year round had melted into a smile.“My disciple, why are you here?” Zack stood up from his stool and stopped his martial arts practice. He looked at Jay happily.Jay’s handsome face, however, was dark and shrouded in ice.“Where’s Monster?” Jay inquired.
However, Monster’s anger was quickly frozen over by Jay’s cold, icy air.“What are you doing here?” Although Monster was a battered down prisoner, his whole body exuded the kind of loftiness that was not at all inferior to Jay.Jay sat on the chair in front of him in a cross-legged manner. His handsome, unparalleled face was looking at Monster’s face quietly.His eyebrows were thin, and his peach blossom-shaped eyes were long and wide. When his eyelids were raised, there was an unruly stubborn temperament in them. His eyes looked as bright as a teenager’s, exuding extraordinary charm.However, when his eyelids were slightly closed, he appeared extraordinarily noble and proud. When coupled with his naturally cold temperament, he gave off the air of a monarch.He continued to stare at Monster coldly without saying a word. A sense of chilliness was constantly permeating out of his eyes.In terms of psychological quality, Monster’s was probably not as good as Jay’s.Time was ticking
The dark clouds hovering over Jay dissipated.It turned out that Angeline’s recent physical discomfort was not a reaction to any poisoning, but it resulted from her relapsing anxiety disorder.Although neither of them was the ending he wanted, in comparison, he felt that an anxiety disorder would perhaps not take Angeline’s life. Hence, it was easier for him to accept it.Jay looked at Monster profoundly. Since Monster had Boye’s research results in his hands, he had to find ways to coax the materials over so that Angeline’s incurable disease could be cured.“Tell me your conditions,” Jay said faintly.Monster outright refused him. “Do you think I’ll let you have what you want? Jay Ares, I’m the only person in this world who wants you to live the most agonizingly painful life. Do you really think that I’ll willingly provide you the medication that can cure Angeline?”Jay was puzzled. “Why do you hate me so much?”Monster’s reddened pupils were immediately filled with flames of h
