"Judy!" she suddenly yelled in a hoarse voice.Judy rushed over. “What's the matter, Aunt Chloe?"Chloe stared at her with a pair of bloodshot pupils. "Find a way to play out a love-making scene.”Judy was petrified and muttered, “Brother Jay will be upset if we do this.”“Just do it. Don’t you want to marry him?”Judy bit her lip. Marrying Jay was her goal in life.“Okay.”The next day.Carefree Garden.As soon as Angeline opened her eyes, she saw Jay's extremely charming face appear before her eyes. He was gazing tenderly at her.“You’re awake?” Jay smiled.Angeline looked at her room in a daze. She remembered sleeping next door last night. How did she return to the master bedroom?Lying next to her, Jay fixed her messy long hair and said tenderly, “You were sleepwalking last night and came to my bed.”Angeline covered her face coyly.Jay took her hands away and continued to tease her. “I’m really happy to see you cling to me so much.”Angeline was extremely puzzled. “
Jay looked at the single-variety breakfast, his eyes growing darker and darker.Zayne glared at him. “Why aren’t you eating?”Jay said coldly, “Is this even for human consumption?”Zayne was stumped. “These are all Josephine’s favorites!”Josephine’s smile was sweeter than honey.Jay said with a sullen expression, “Cook something that Angeline likes eating or get out of Carefree Garden. Don’t occupy my kitchen.”Zayne’s jaw dropped. “You’re too overbearing, don’t you think?”Jay said, “You’re occupying my kitchen and depriving Angeline of her right to eat her favorite foods. Now you’re saying that I’m overbearing?”When Angeline noticed how they were about to quarrel again, she pushed the plate aside and said, “I'm done eating. Time to go shopping!”Josephine echoed, “I’m not eating either. You can both quarrel all you want. Sis Angeline and I are going shopping.”Jay stood up. "Wash the dishes, Zayne."Zayne, "...""I’m coming with you.”“Who’s going to wash the dishes if
Zayne immediately clammed up. “Okay, okay, I won't say anything."Josephine was clearly standing on the Ares family’s side when she asked Angeline to go back to Tourmaline Estate.Zayne felt sorry for his sister, so he did not want Angeline to go back. However, Zayne did not have a firm standpoint because he needed to take Josephine's feelings into account as well.Josephine was pregnant with his child, after all.Angeline's eyes moved back and forth between Josephine and Zayne’s faces. Suddenly, she smiled weakly.With the arrival of his and Josephine’s child, she could sense her brother’s diminishing love for her.Take today at breakfast, for example. Zayne had cooked all of Josephine’s favorite foods.Milk, fried eggs, and toast.Nothing suited her taste.Although Angeline was a little sad, she knew that it was normal for Zayne’s feelings and emotions to turn out this way. It was only normal for Zayne to love his wife and children more than his sister.Jay was silent along
Angeline rested her head on Zayne’s shoulder and said, “Well, I’m a little down indeed. You’ve pampered me all my life, so I’m not used to it when you’re suddenly pushing me away. But when I think of the hardships you and Josephine went through the first half of your lives and how you can finally begin anew after all those hardships, I feel happy for you from the bottom of my heart.“Brother, you must love Josephine and your child with all your heart from now on. Don’t just worry about me. I’m happy when you’re happy,” Angeline said, feeling moved.Zayne was choked with sobs as he said, “You silly girl. You always put others first.”Jay walked up with a bowl of hot mushroom soup, and when he heard Angeline and Zayne's conversation, he felt inexplicably sour.Zayne looked at Jay’s empty hands when he handed the soup to Angeline. He asked, “One bowl only? Why didn’t you buy a bowl for Josephine?”Jay said meaningfully, “Pamper your own wife yourself.”Zayne, “...”It seemed like h
Zayne rushed in and paid for Josephine’s clothes. Josephine was still complaining about Jay when she walked out with several bags in her hands. “My brother takes his time when he chooses Sis Angeline’s clothes but doesn’t even have the time to pay for mine?”Zayne looked at Jay and Angeline’s backs as they walked away while holding each other’s hands. His gaze was obscure. “Your brother is mad at us, Josephine.”Josephine was dumbfounded and looked completely clueless. "Why is he mad at me?"Zayne shrugged. "Probably because you were a bit firm and unyielding at persuading Angeline to return to Tourmaline Estate.”Josephine was nonplussed. Then she shed tears of grievances. “That’s because I’m worried about my father. He’s simply unreasonable.”Zayne said, “There’s also the breakfast I made this morning. It didn’t suit Angeline’s taste, so Brother Jay is definitely upset about it.”Josephine was displeased. “Does he not know that him being so biased toward Angeline will put other
“Get up. Angeline won’t want to see you cry." Jay sighed.When Angeline came out after trying on the clothes, she saw Josephine sitting on the ground in front of Jay with her face covered in tears.Angeline was so startled that she tossed the clothes to the ground and ran over to pull Josephine up, saying, “You’re pregnant, Josie. Stand up.”Josephine saw Angeline's eyes burning with anxiety and felt a pang in her heart. Jay was right. Sis Angeline would not want to see her in this state.Josephine felt even more ashamed now and murmured under her breath, “I'm sorry, Sis Angeline."Angeline looked at Master Ares’ gloomy expression, then at the ashamed look on Josephine’s face. She could roughly guess that Jay, the man who spoiled her without limits, had just criticized Josephine for not thinking in her shoes and forcing her to go back to Tourmaline Estate.Angeline said with a smile, "I don't blame you, Josephine. You’re a kind person. I’m really happy to see you being so filial
Jay looked lovingly at Angeline. She could bring herself to forgive Chloe even after the constant harm she had inflicted upon her, as well as turn a blind eye to Josephine’s selfish request… Those who did not know her personally might think that she was a doormat.However, he alone knew that Angeline was a noble young lady with quite a temper. She was merely treating those around her tenderly.As for him, he felt like a failure because he could not protect her well.“Are you tired, Angeline?" Jay asked softly.Angeline grabbed his arm like an octopus, shaking her head. "I’m not tired."“You should sit down and take a break. I'll buy your clothes for you," Jay suggested.Like a deer, Angeline blinked her innocent eyes. “Do you know my size?”Jay's malicious gaze fell on Angeline's chest. "What do you think?"Angeline blushed. "Go on then.”Zayne, Josephine, and Angeline sat on the soft couch. Josephine opened her mouth several times in an attempt to speak and finally mustered u
Angeline's hand fell on Josephine's shoulder. She patted, saying, “Step aside, Josephine. I want to say a few things to her.”Josephine said, "Sis Angeline, you know how harsh her words can be. There’s no need to listen to her unrelenting babbling.”Angeline said, "Don't worry, she can't hurt me anymore."Josephine had no choice but to step aside. Angeline took two steps forward and stood in front of Chloe. With a cold and sharp gaze, she looked down at Chloe as she sat in the wheelchair.Chloe looked up at her, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness.“Angeline Severe, I thought you lost weight after getting anxiety disorder and falling into depression? Why do you look like you’re living a comfortable and fulfilling life instead?”Judy added inflammatory details, saying, “Hmph, she’s clearly sadfishing on purpose.”Upon realizing that things were going in the wrong direction, Josephine quickly whispered to Zayne, “Hurry up and summon Big Brother over.”Zayne started running s
