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
Grand Old Master Yorks did not speak for a very long time. He felt sorry for his daughter but dared not stand up for her rashly. Offending Angeline would only make things worse.However, there was a troubled look on his face. If Angeline did not give him an explanation, then this would continue to trouble him.Angeline walked up to Judy, raised her hand, and slapped Judy on the face twice.Sandra hurried over and said with ulterior motives in mind, “Why did you hit her, Angeline? We swallowed our anger when you hit your mother-in-law yesterday, but now you’re slapping Judy for no reason. If we don’t stop you now, you’re going to keep—”Before Sandra could finish her sentence, Angeline gave her another slap on the face.Spencer's eyes widened… Grand Old Master Ares had no idea why the meek and obedient Angeline would suddenly become so violent. He, too, stood dazedly on the spot.Angeline pointed at Sandra and Judy, saying indignantly, “It’s because of people like you who are so
At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.Angeline calmed herself down and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. She’s still my mother-in-law no matter what. Although I hate her, I won’t hold a grudge as long as she doesn’t cross the line.”Grand Old Master Yorks felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders.Grand Old Master Ares hurried over to enliven the atmosphere. "Alright now, Chief Yorks. Now that Angeline is back, we should hold a grand welcome ceremony for her some other day and invite the Severes to be our guests. You can then see your great-grandson again."Grand Old Master Ares’ words had far-reaching effects.He was reminding Grand Old Master Yorks that now that Angeline had returned, Shirley and Mrs. Yorks would drop by and visit often as well.Cole and Spencer would have hope of reuniting with them again.This was Grand Old Master Yorks’ wish.This teeny bit of hope cheered Grand Old Master Yorks up.This was the end of this brief episode.T
After a long and hectic night, Angeline and Jay could only sleep for a short while before it was dawn again.Worried about his mother, Jay finished his breakfast in a hurry and rushed to the hospital.This time, Angeline did not insist on going to the hospital with him. Jay looked at Angeline in surprise. “Don’t… you want to come along?”Angeline waved at him and said self-deprecatingly, “I’m not going. My presence will not be conducive for your mother’s recovery.”Jay stroked her nose and said, “How nice would it be if my mother knows how to avoid conflict and live together in harmony?”Angeline saw the forlorn look in Jay's eyes and stroked his handsome face gently, doing her best to calm him down. "Don't worry. I'll take a detour the next time I see her. I won't get mad at her anymore either, lest she falls sick again and you’re the one who has to suffer.”Jay held Angeline's hands with his large warm ones. His delicate and charming face lit up with a dazzling smile. “You’re t
Jay was sandwiched between his mother and wife just like sandwich cookies. How could he possibly lead a peaceful life this way?Chloe cried out and complained, “It’s because you indulged her that she has become so spoiled and arrogant. She doesn’t respect me as her mother-in-law and even slapped me in public.”“Why did she slap you?" Jay guided his mother patiently and systematically, deciding to have a peaceful talk with her so she would realize her mistakes.“I just called her a jinx for bringing misfortune to her husband." Chloe did not think she was wrong at all.Grand Old Master Yorks flew into a rage. "Chloe Yorks, you said that she brought misfortune to her husband, but that husband is your precious son Jay, isn’t it? You’re cursing Jay then, aren’t you? Why don’t you get it?Chloe said anxiously, “I didn't mean to curse Jay. I just think that Jay will never have a peaceful life as long as she’s with him. I feel sorry for Jay, that’s all.”Jay said calmly, "Don't blame Ang
Jay could not say no to his mother's pleas, so he reluctantly agreed.At night, Jay sat on the sofa and chatted with Chloe.Angeline texted Jay. [Jaybie, what time are you coming home?] When Jay saw Angeline’s text, he could imagine how excited Angeline was. He felt very guilty and replied to her: [Baby, I can't come back today. My mother tried her best to get me to stay, and I don’t feel great saying no to her. Get some rest, don't wait up for me.] Angeline’s expression turned sad when she saw his message. The reason why Jay was not coming home was not that Chloe Yorks was in an unstable condition, but it was that Chloe did not want him to go home. She replied to Jay: [In that case, get some rest. Goodnight.] When Jay saw that seemingly neutral text from Angeline, his mood turned gloomy.Jay had not seen Angeline for the entire day. He had been occupied with taking care of his mother who received an infusion earlier that day. Once he was done with that, Chloe k
