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
When Judy pushed Chloe to Château de Selene, they saw Angeline wearing a fiery red backless V-neck dress as she lay in Jay’s arms in a coy and graceful manner. Even Chloe and Judy were forced to admit that Angeline won by a landslide in terms of temperament and clothing. It was just that they were refusing to admit their shortcomings out loud. Jay was sitting on the bench, and Angeline was seated next to him. Her upper body was nestled in Jay’s arms as he gently combed through her hair with his fingers.Chloe and Judy both looked at each other.Their eyes were filled with doubt. Jay and Angeline did not look like they had just fought at all!“Jay.”When Chloe’s voice was heard at the garden’s entrance, there was a tremble in Jay’s body. He stared at the uninvited Chloe with palpitations.“Mom?” There was a strong expression of resistance in his eyes.Angeline sat up from his arms as she could sense his anxiety and tension. She tightened the grasp on her hand and gave him a be
They originally came here feeling excited, expecting to see Angeline being cruelly thrown aside by Jay. They never expected to see Jay pampering her so lovingly. Chloe and Judy stood there, embarrassed. They did not know whether they should stick around or leave. They were here as guests.As such, Angeline warmly and hospitably said to them, “Mom, since you’re already here, why don’t you have lunch with us?”Chloe proceeded to nod her head.Since she had come all the way here, she could not bring herself to leave with her tail between her legs. Angeline would see her as a joke.After the servants served their lunch, they moved to the dining room.Grand Old Master Ares deliberately came over for a meal as well because he was worried about Jay and Angeline’s quarrel. He wanted to see whether the young couple had made up.Seeing Chloe and Judy inside, Grand Old Master Ares’ expression turned somewhat darker.The five sat around a big round dining table while Jay and Angeline sa
Jay asked, “Isn’t it obvious?”Grand Old Master Ares could see it as clear as day. He merely wanted the couple to say it out loud. It could make the atmosphere harmonious and let Chloe understand that this young married couple’s relationship was solid as a rock. This would then put a stop to her silly intention of trying to destroy their feelings for one another. Jay said nothing in reply, and Grand Old Master Ares turned his attention to the pure-minded Angeline.Angeline smiled charmingly. “I think Jaybie went soft first.”When Chloe and Judy heard such an answer, they were both feeling displeased in their hearts.They initially thought that Jay had finally become firm and tossed Angeline’s feelings aside this time around. Then perhaps, Angeline would stop being proud and arrogant.Who would have expected that Jay had been the one begging for reconciliation again? Chloe suddenly felt that her son was somewhat a spineless coward.As soon as he heard this, Grand Old Master Ares
Jay immediately declined. “Grandpa, Zayne needs to manage the Severe family’s company. And Josephine is pregnant, so she has limited mobility. Don’t bother them for now.”He despised those two for third-wheeling all the time. Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay in confusion. “It seems like you’re not being very welcoming?”Angeline started chuckling. “Grandpa, Jaybie and Zayne don’t seem to see eye to eye. They’re always quarreling whenever they meet.”Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, “That’s good. Ask Zayne and Josie to come to visit. That way, Jay can increase his social skills.”Jay stared at his grandfather speechlessly. “I don’t need help improving my social skills.”Grand Old Master Ares said, “Is that so? I was the one who brought you up. I think I know you best.”Jay stared at the ceiling speechlessly. Even if he needed help in that area, it was a thing of the past. Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, “I thought you were autistic as a child. You were cons
Grand Old Master Ares and the husband and wife were happily teasing one another. The scene stung Chloe deeply because no matter how hard she tried to please Jay, he would always treat her indifferently.After lunch, Chloe bade farewell to Jay and left Château de Selene with Judy. On the way back to Fragrant Vessel Court, Chloe complained bitterly, “Jay’s too nice to Angeline. He peels her shrimps and even continuously puts food on her plate. It’s as if she’s being spoiled to death by him. I think he barely gives me one-tenth of the affection he gives to Angeline, and I’m his birth mother.”Judy looked baffled. “Didn’t the servant say they quarreled last night? Was all that stuff about Angeline wanting to run away from home a lie?”Chloe said, “I noticed that Angeline’s eyes were a little swollen. It’s obvious she had cried.”Judy’s sense of loss turned to delight once more. “Aunt Chloe, perhaps Brother Jay was kind to Angeline today to apologize to her?”Chloe made up a melodram
Jay smiled slyly. After playing several rounds of chess, Angeline still had not returned.Jay became uneasy and said, “Grandpa, I’ll stop playing now.”“Why? Are you worried about your wife?”Jay’s expression turned a little solemn. In front of Grand Old Master Ares, his heart was transparent and he would not hide any secrets.“Grandpa, every time Angeline returns to Tourmaline Estate, there’s always one incident happening after another. I’m worried about her safety every time she’s not by my side, even if it’s only for a single moment.”Grand Old Master Ares comforted Jay and said, “Your mother was the culprit for this. Now that she’s living under a huge spotlight, she can’t do anything to Angeline even if she doesn’t like her, right?”Jay stood up. “I’ll still go and look for her.”“Go ahead.”When Jay arrived at the back garden, he saw Angeline squatting on the ground while attentively admiring the pet rabbit’s cuteness. The little rabbit stretched out its front limbs and
However, Angeline felt very puzzled. Why was Jay having such strange thoughts today?“What did Grandpa say to you?” she asked anxiously.Jay did not want the Yorks family’s mess to affect Angeline’s mood, so he tried to make it as light-hearted as possible. “It’s nothing. We just had a light chat about Grandpa Yorks.”Angeline’s eyes widened in curiosity. Jay did not elaborate further, so she took the initiative to bring it up. “The last time I saw Grandpa Yorks, he seemed to be in an awful frame of mind. Oh dear, so many things have happened to the Yorks family. It must be a bolt from the blue for someone who wants to reunite their family like Grandpa Yorks.”Jay deliberately probed Angeline’s thoughts on Mrs. Yorks and Shirley returning to the Yorks household. He pretended to be casual about it and said, “He wants Mrs. Yorks and Shirley and her son to come home. Do you think this wish of his is possible, Angeline?”Angeline responded, “Sis Shirley has always considered being wit
