“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
Chloe was furious. “I haven’t seen you for a while now but you’ve become pretty sharp-tongued, eh?”Angeline's eyes glowed coldly as she roared, “You’re the one who turned me into this person today! I admit that it was my bad luck that I was harmed by you, but I can’t believe you actually imposed your ignorant, greedy, and selfish thoughts on Jaybie, bringing him immeasurable pain. This itself is enough to give me a reason not to forgive you anymore.”Chloe found it ridiculous. “He’s my son. Why would I harm my son? You’re slinging mud at me!” Angeline said, "You keep saying that you’re doing it for his own good, but you’ve never cared about his feelings. You treat him as your property and try to manipulate him blindly. You’ve forgotten that he’s human too, a man with an independent mind. He has feelings and emotions of his own. When he doesn’t obey you, you become furious and use your identity as his mother to exploit him. You’re the reason why he will forever struggle in this lif
Jay said in an indifferent tone, “I’ll remind Angeline to take a detour whenever she sees you next time.”Chloe was nonplussed again.“What do you mean by that, Jay? Are you blaming me for provoking Angeline?” Chloe could not believe that her beloved son would love Angeline so much that he could no longer tell right from wrong.She was extremely disappointed in Jay. “Do you know what she did to me? She slapped me and scolded me, but instead of accusing her, you’re blaming me for provoking her?”Jay said in a cold voice, “You owe her a life, Mom.”Chloe widened her eyes. "What do you mean by that? So you think she’s supposed to kill me?” Chloe started crying aggrievedly. “You’re just siding with your wife.”Jay said with pink eyes. “I sided with you once and ended up hurting Angeline greatly. You’re both of equal importance to me, Mom. Now you’re trying to take one of them away from me, do you think I won’t feel hurt?”Chloe roared, “You’re plain silly!”Jay instructed Judy and
After returning home, Jay quickly sat in front of Angeline. He massaged her legs to loosen up her tense muscles.“Are you tired?" Jay asked, trying to sound her out.Angeline nodded. “A little.”Jay's complexion turned ashen at once. He looked so distressed like it was the end of the world.Angeline could sense Jay’s excessively stern complexion and realized that he might be making a fuss over her health again.Angeline sighed inwardly. She had to find a way to untie the knot in his heart.At dinner, it was clear that Jay had a bad appetite.Zayne teased him, saying, "A seven-foot man eating much less than a cat, it’s no wonder he’s getting thinner and thinner."Josephine glared at Zayne. “Zip it.”Angeline looked at Jay's bony face and remembered Chloe's accusation against her. She suddenly felt that Chloe was not at all unreasonable.At the very least, she was the one who triggered Jaybie's weight loss.After dinner, Jay returned to the master bedroom listlessly and sat on
After hanging up the phone, Jay was momentarily dazed.His mother and Angeline just had a fierce argument during the day. Could her sudden onset have something to do with Angeline?Jay lifted the quilt… He quietly got dressed and kissed Angeline, who was still sleeping soundly, and turned around to leave.Angeline suddenly opened her eyes and stared dazedly at him.“I’ll go too," she said.Jay said, “I don’t think you should go, Angeline. Mom is critically ill. Judy and Sandra will definitely sow discord in front of the Yorks. I don’t want them to give you any trouble.”Angeline sat up and said, “If I don't go, then they’ll criticize you. You always swallow your grievances. I can’t bear seeing them accusing you wrongly.”Jay could not dissuade Angeline and had no choice but to help her change into her clothes.Half an hour later.Tourmaline Estate.Fragrant Vessel Court was crowded with people.All the Ares and Yorks family members were restlessly wandering the courtyard lik
"You must be tired, right?" He pulled Angeline into his arms so that she could lean on him.Grand Old Master Yorks was overwhelmed by Angeline’s kindness. “Thank you for helping us today, Angeline.”Angeline smiled shyly.Standing on one side, Grand Old Master Ares let out an amiable smile, saying, “You should accept our praise because you deserve it.”The third wife had always been very grateful to Jay and his wife for helping her coach her son, Jean Ares, and for helping her reunite with James Ares.When she saw Angeline, the third wife said cordially, “You’re finally back, Angeline. Why don’t you stay and eat with us before you leave?”Jean smiled and said, “What are you talking about, Mom? Sis Angeline is Tourmaline Estate’s person in charge. She’s not going to leave once she comes back.”Grand Old Master Ares turned his gaze to Grand Old Master Yorks. Grand Old Master Yorks stepped forward and said humbly, “Angeline, Jay, I was wrong to have treated you that way in the past
