Jordan was continuously scooping food into Jay’s plate. Jay gracefully ate his meal in silence. Judy wanted to say a few words to try and win Jay’s heart. Yet when she noticed Jay’s cold expression as if he was placed above the common populace, she only felt discouraged.Jay was accustomed to being a man with very few words when he was outside. However, he was nothing short of a chatterbox when he ate his meals with Angeline at home.After Grand Old Master Yorks took a couple of bites of his food, he abruptly placed the utensils down and said to Spencer, “Give Cole a call and tell that brat to get his *ss down here. I have something to say to him.”Spencer had a complex expression on his face. “Dad, it’s not like you don’t know that b*stard Cole’s way of thinking. If I ask him to return to Tourmaline Estate, he’ll say that Angeline rebuilt Tourmaline and he doesn’t deserve to step foot into this place.”As soon as Spencer finished his sentence, Chloe’s face turned distorted.“An
Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Judy quickly let go of Jay’s hand. She turned around and hurriedly escaped.Jay looked at Angeline, his consciousness somewhat confused.His hesitation was deemed a manifestation of a guilty conscience in Angeline’s eyes.Angeline’s expression darkened, and she proceeded to turn around to enter the house. Then, she slammed the main door shut.The earth-shattering sound completely awakened Jay from his daze.He touched his nose and wondered to himself.Why was Angeline so mad at him?“Angeline, open the door.”“No. You can go ahead and spend the night in Fragrant Vessel Court.” Angeline’s furious voice could be heard through the door.Jay was slightly in a daze. Did he perhaps stay at Fragrant Vessel Court for too long just now and made Angeline angry?Looking at the closely shut door, Jay sighed weakly. He never thought the day would come when his wife would completely reject him. Fortunately, he was well versed wit
Grand Old Master Ares could not help but chuckle. “JJ, you’ve truly outdone yourself in loving this girl. She wants a whole essay, 1,000 words too! But seeing how you’re talented with words, I don’t see it being challenging for you. I think she’s finding a way to get you out of this situation.”Grand Old Master Ares then took Jay to the backyard. Jay sat on the sofa, looking depressed and pensive.Every time he went over to Fragrant Vessel Court, he was obviously determined to quickly return home. However, why did he always stay there for a long time for no good reason?Perhaps Angeline had not been doing very well these few days and was getting rather lonely. Was that the reason she wanted to adopt that stray rabbit?Grand Old Master Ares ordered his servants, “Prepare a calligraphy set for Young Master Jay.”The servant quickly brought a calligraphy pen, ink, and paper over.Jay looked at the grand old master speechlessly. “Isn’t a ballpoint pen enough?”He wanted to quickly
Jay could feel Angeline’s emotional grief and quickly turned on the lights. He was out of his wits as he held Angeline’s face.“Are you jealous of Judy, Angeline?” he asked.Fortunately, Grandpa had mentioned it earlier so that he could slightly retrace the source of Angeline’s fiery temper.Since Judy was interested in him, Angeline would perhaps misunderstand if he stayed in Fragrant Vessel Court for too long. “How could I not be jealous?” Angeline said, enraged. Jay felt extremely wronged. “Angeline, do you have to be jealous of her? Aren’t you well aware of where she’s placed in my heart by now?”Angeline pushed him away and said furiously, “I used to be well aware of how you treated her. But it seems like I’ve been out of the loop nowadays.”“Angeline, stop trying to stir up trouble unreasonably, okay? It’s late now. Let’s get some sleep,” Jay said tiredly.Angeline looked at Jay sorrowfully. After witnessing him and Judy being affectionate toward one another, he had the
Chloe suddenly thought of an idea and said to the servant from Château de Selene, “Hurry back and tell JJ that today is his brother, Ron’s, death anniversary. Tell him that I miss his brother and is currently in a foul mood. He’ll know to come and comfort me.”“Yes.” The servant left shortly after.Château de Selene.When Jay woke up and found that Angeline had disappeared, he thought about Angeline’s little spat with him last night. He got up in a panic and hurriedly went downstairs.“Angeline.” His voice was filled with anxiety.The maid told him, “Young Master Jay, Madam has already had her breakfast and went to take the rabbit out for a walk outside.”Jay was stunned in place.Did she not wait for him to have their breakfast together?Angeline was clearly still angry with him.Jay could no longer care about eating his breakfast and hurriedly went outside.In the courtyard, Angeline kept herself busy by feeding the rabbit some carrots. Although her expression appeared calm
He could feel his blood surging up.“Are you trying to leave me?” Jay said in disbelief. Then, there was a hysterical roar. “Why are you trying to make such a big fuss out of a minor issue?”Angeline cried out sorrowfully, “You were rubbing Judy’s head so affectionately right in front of me, and you even held her hand! Why are you not taking this seriously? Fine, I’ll find myself a random man tomorrow. I’ll let him touch my head right in front of you, and I’ll even hold his hand too... Let’s see if you’ll take it seriously if I do the same to you.”Angeline cried and ran away.Jay’s face turned ashen, and his stalwart body started trembling.“Was I possessed? How could I have done such a wretched thing?”Jay turned around to chase after Angeline.Angeline returned to the house and went straight to the bedroom.This time, she was determined to leave Jay.She took out all of her daily necessities and threw them out as if she wanted to erase herself from Jay’s world completely.
Jay would never have thought that he was capable of doing such absolutely disgraceful actions yesterday evening. Even though Angeline had forgiven him, it was not easy for him to forgive himself. After all, how hard must it have been on Angeline to know that he had been unfaithful?Jay felt immensely guilty toward Angeline. Tears were welled up in his crimson eyes. He held her tightly but could not say a word.Angeline sensed how remorseful he was and patted him on the back, soothing him. “It’s alright now. I forgive you. Just try and avoid her from now on.”Jay said quietly, “Angeline, I might be having auditory hallucinations.”Angeline looked at him in astonishment. A considerable panic appeared in her eyes.Jay continued, “I don’t want you to worry about my body. But I don’t want you to misunderstand me even more. Jaybie is not a half-hearted person who’d be unfaithful.”It was the lesser of two evils!Jay chose to tell the truth because the truth would be less harmful to An
At noon, the servant came over to pass them a message.“Young Master Jay, today’s your older brother’s, Ron, death anniversary. The eldest madam is currently in mourning and feeling upset. Miss Judy is so distraught that she’s now outside, waiting to see you.”As soon as the servant was done talking, Jay rebuffed, “Go and tell her that I won’t be going out for the time being.”The servant looked at the relaxed Jay and Angeline and was slightly startled. However, she had no other option but to turn around and leave.Angeline had a compassionate heart and a frail mental state, but because of her exquisite and generous feelings, she could empathize with the sadness of others. At this moment, Angeline thought about how Chloe was a middle-aged woman who had experienced the feeling of her child dying before her. She must be in a mournful state of mind. As such, she took the initiative to propose, “Jaybie, the pain of losing a child is no better than being extremely sick or disabled. It
