Zayne looked at the forlorn expression on Josephine's face and made a firm decision instantly. “We won’t leave, then. We’ll stay and ask Brother Jay to cook some amazing food for you mothers so you can both get enough nourishment for your bodies.”Zayne’s voice was so loud that even Angeline and Jay could hear everything he said. Angeline raised her eyelids to look at Jay. Jay's slim face was as sharp and as intimidating as a knife, but at the same time, he looked so infinitely charming.A hint of wisdom flashed across Angeline's eyes, and she whispered to Jay, “You must have been really exhausted lately, Jaybie. Since Zayne is here, you can leave the house chores to him.”The somberness that Zayne gave Jay earlier had dissipated completely. Knowing that Angeline could not bear to see him suffer had made him realize just how much Angeline loved him, and this cheered him up greatly.“Can you get used to eating the food he cooks?” This was the only thing that Jay was worried about.
Jay walked in and taught Zayne patiently. “This is the sterilizer, this is the dishwasher, coffee machine, juicer..." Then explained their functions to Zayne.Zayne looked speechlessly at Jay, complaining, “Brother Jay, if you have the time to explain their functions to me, why don’t you just operate them and cook us a meal instead?”Jay sneered. “If I teach you, then I will never have to do it again.”Zayne scratched the back of his head and let out a burst of annoying laughter. “But I can't remember a single thing you taught me."Jay's complexion darkened instantly. “Are you an idiot?”Zayne protested loudly, “The brain of a straight-A student like you has always worked differently from ours. You can pick up something after taking just one look at it but we need to look at it over and over again. And when we finally memorize it, it will only take us seconds to forget it. Do you even understand the pain that we straight-D students go through?”He then put on a posture that seeme
Josephine was incredibly touched.When Zayne walked out with the dishes, Josephine rushed over and kissed Zayne on the face. “Thank you for making such a scrumptious meal for me and our baby, Honey. I love you so much.”Zayne was stunned.He had done it unwillingly, though.He had been coerced into making a meal.However, as soon as he saw Jay’s meaningful smile, Zayne knew he had fallen into Jay’s trap.At this very moment in front of Josephine, he dared not tell her that he had done it unconsciously because that would make Josephine really disappointed.When Jay pulled Angeline to the table, Zayne gritted his teeth and reprimanded Jay ambiguously, “Didn’t you say to go dutch?”Jay laughed. “You made a lot of food. If Angeline and I don’t eat them, you’ll be wasting a lot of food. I’m sure you don’t want your son to develop a wasteful habit before he’s even born?”Zayne was struck dumb.He was susceptible to Jay’s eloquence. In the end, he could only swallow his words and wa
Zayne was in shock. "You’re telling me that the both of you have never fought?" Angeline thought about his question for a while and nodded. Jay said with certainty, "No." Angeline and Zayne looked at him with surprise. Jay explained, "I only fought with Rose Loyle, not Angeline Severe." Angeline nodded.At that moment, Zayne felt very ashamed of himself... Jay and Angeline’s romance was one for the fairytales. Zayne found it unbelievable and humbly asked Jay, "Big Brother, don't you think women are tricky sometimes?" Jay nodded and answered, "Yeah." Zayne then started ranting and listing women's shortcomings. Once he started, he could not stop. "Also, they’re also very stingy, suspicious, sensitive, unreasonable..."Jay nodded. "Yeah." Josie and Angeline stared at Zayne angrily. Zayne ignored their silent protests and continued, "How do you deal with it? Do you have special skills like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?" After Jay was done with his meal
Jay then understood why she had reacted so strongly to what Zayne said. He hugged Angeline tightly. He spoke gently as if soothing a newborn baby, "Angeline, I’m going to live for a long time. Zayne didn't mean that..." "Don't say the word ‘die’." Angeline burst into tears. Jay knew that the word was her taboo. He could relate to Angeline’s fear. That was because if that word was used in the same sentence that mentioned Angeline, he would break down too. Moreover, Angeline was inherently sensitive and fragile. He held her silently and gently stroked her trembling back. He did not know how much time had passed. When he felt that Angeline had calmed down, Jay said, "Angeline, aren’t you tired?" Boye had told him that Angeline’s condition would get worse if she was overtired. Angeline had been over-excited throughout the day because of the arrival of Josie and Zayne. "I'm not tired," Angeline said. Jay placed her on the bed gently and said, "I'm tired, come c
Just before dawn, Jay could no longer keep his eyes open. He fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, the sun was well up. Angeline was no longer in bed. Jay went to the living room in his pajamas and saw Zayne and Josie lying on the sofa. Zayne was happily talking to his unborn child in Josie's belly. "Son, listen to Daddy. You need to eat more so you can grow taller. You’ll have to catch up with Jenson and Robbie when you come out..."Jay was speechless. "Your son is just an embryo now. He can't hear you." Zayne said, "I need to start with prenatal education early so that my son can get a move on his development." Jay looked around, and when he did not see Angeline, he asked Zayne, "Where’s Angeline?" "I don't know," Zayne said. Jay's expression immediately turned sour. He had expected Zayne to help him look after Angeline so that he could relax a little, but it seemed that he had wrongly put his trust in him.Jay retaliated against Zayne. "Don't expect your
In Boye's courtyard. Angeline buried her head on Grandma Boye's lap and acted like a baby. "Grandma, I relapsed yesterday. Jaybie was so worried that he didn't sleep much all night. I didn't sleep well either." Angeline had a loving and chatty personality. As long as the other family member was not malicious, she would be extremely friendly toward them. Boye had never spent time with her own children. Angeline's actions melted her heart, and her maternal instincts kicked in. She looked at Angeline and said affectionately, "What’s wrong with your mother-in-law? She has such a good daughter-in-law, I don’t know why she’s doing all these to you to hurt you. Angeline, you have me. Grandma Boye loves you. Listen to me, your disease may not be curable with other doctors, but in my case, it’s easy peasy." Tears flowed from Angeline's dark brown eyes. She used to resist Grandma Boye's treatment plan. She wanted to go with Jaybie's wishes so he would not be worried. After all, Grand
Angeline smiled. "Grandma knows best." Boye continued talking, "Angeline, another thing. After you recover, get a hobby. Life is not all about finding love. It’s also important to realize one's self-worth. After you find something that you like to do, you will have no excess energy to worry about things. It will greatly improve your condition." Angeline nodded. She felt a sense of enlightenment. At the door, Jay turned around and left quietly. Boye then brought Angeline around her laboratory. At the end of the tour, she explained in detail the cause of Angeline’s illness, touching on hereditary factors, environmental triggers, and neurotransmitters. She thoroughly explained Angeline’s treatment plan. After she was done, she asked Angeline, "Do you understand all of that?" Angeline nodded charmingly as she said, "I do." Boye said to the old man who was focused on experimenting, "Did you hear that? Angeline can understand everything I just told her!" The old man
