“My aunt and uncle have finally reunited. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. They probably won’t welcome you if you go right now.” Jay made a random excuse.Angeline said, “What about Dawn?"Jay said, “His father will take care of him. Don't worry about it."Angeline was bored to death. “What should I do now, then?”Jay patted the chair in front of him. "Sit down. Stay with me."Angeline walked up to Jay reluctantly and stared at him awkwardly.Jay coaxed her, “Read me the love poem?"Angeline covered her face with her hands. “This is so embarrassing.”“If you read it to me, I’ll cook you carrots.”Angeline thought for a while and made one up on the spot. “I admire you like the gods, almighty and all-powerful; you love me like a child, pampering me to your bones.”Jay wiped his mouth gracefully after eating.Angeline said leisurely, “I will spend my entire life holding you in my arms indefinitely. When you grow old, I will be even more madly in love wit
Angeline smiled and said, “Jaybie isn’t that kind of person.”Zayne said, “Who says he isn’t? Look at you, you don't own any decent jewelry at all. Who would believe that you’re the crown prince of Imperial Capital’s woman?”Jay looked at the plain and neat-looking Angeline… He sank into self-reflection.He always thought that a woman’s inner beauty and refinement were more important, hence neglecting Angeline’s outward appearance. This had caused Angeline to be influenced by him and thus she led a frugal life as well.When they were in Yorks Stronghold, Spencer’s mistresses often looked down on her because of the way Angeline dressed.“Angeline, let’s go shopping for jewelry later," Jay said.Zayne nodded in satisfaction. “The capitalist is finally willing to spend some money.”Angeline glared at Zayne. “Don’t you have better things to do?”She then turned around to walk upstairs before coming down with a bank card.Zayne began babbling again. “Are you using your own card, An
Jay nodded.Angeline shook her head. “That’s too wasteful, Jaybie.”Jay said, “Be a good girl and give me the card.”“No."Jay, “..."Zayne teased, “As men, we still need to give ourselves some leeway. Well, I think it’s necessary to keep a secret stash of money… Ahhhh, ouch, ouch, ouch! It hurts, Josephine!”Josephine pulled Zayne's ear. “How dare you keep a secret stash behind my back?! What’s the secret stash for?”“For cigarettes.”“You’re smoking when you’re not in good health?”“No, no. I don’t smoke. It’s just for a little bit of wine.”“Like I would believe in your crap. You can’t drink wine.”“Just an occasional reward for celebrity streamers,” Zayne blurted out.He had made a blunder this time.Josephine suddenly burst into tears. “How dare you hook up with internet celebrities behind my back? Do you not love me anymore, Zayne?”Zayne explained, “I didn’t hook up with internet celebrities. I just think that the celebrity streamers have a tough life, so I give th
“The girl was dressed in plain clothes and didn’t wear any jewelry. She looks nothing like a celebrity or socialite. I think she’s just a natural beauty who caught Master Ares’ eye. She’s no wife, more like a lover I reckon.”“I’m surprised that Master Ares cares so much about her. Had we known about that earlier, we should’ve done everything we could to please her, huh?” a salesperson said with regret.As soon as they were done complaining, they saw their manager running over while covered in sweat. He asked, “Where’s Master Ares? Where’s Master Ares?”“He left,” the salespeople replied respectfully.The manager stomped his feet. “Why did he leave? Do you know how rare an opportunity it is for Master Ares to bring Ms. Severe out to buy jewelry? What the hell are you doing… Why didn’t you grasp this opportunity to make a fortune?”The salespeople had yet to realize that they had lost a chance to make a fortune until their manager told them, “I’d like to see how you’re going to cry
He felt particularly irritable because of this.“Stop crying, Josephine Ares,” Jay commanded domineeringly.Josephine went from wailing to sobbing.Jay then ordered Zayne, “Since you don't know how to manage your money, Zayne, you will hand over all your bank cards to Josephine.”Zayne said reluctantly, “What am I supposed to do if I need to use money?”“Ask Josephine for it."Zayne dropped this head and sighed over and over again.Jay looked at Angeline. “What’s wrong? Are you upset?”Angeline rested her head on his shoulder and said, “I’m not good enough for you, Jaybie."Jay laughed. “How did those ignorant salespeople turn you into such a sentimental and moody person?”Angeline said, “Their reminder has helped me realize my shortcomings. Jaybie, you’re the crown prince of Imperial Capital and everyone sees you as their hero. Everyone knows you because Grand Asia has changed the quality of life of Imperial Capital citizens.”At this point, her voice dropped considerably.
Josephine looked at Zayne. She knew that he was a righteous man and liked to fight with his friends to pay the bills, hence she nodded and said, “Come to me for reimbursement when you go out with your friends.”Zayne’s smile froze immediately.“What kind of beast are you? Taking but not giving?” Zayne teased Josephine.Josephine burst out laughing.“Do you regret marrying me?"Zayne was about to nod when he saw Josephine pointing her fist to her stomach. Zayne quickly shook his head. “No regrets, no regrets. It’s a huge blessing for me to marry you.”Josephine loosened her fist.Josephine suddenly took Zayne's hand and started talking about serious matters. "Zayne, the hospital called me to go in for a maternity check-up. Can you go with me this afternoon?”“Oh no, I’m not free this afternoon,” Zayne said with a guilty look on his face, “I have an appointment with a client on a contract negotiation. Why don’t I go with you tomorrow?”Josephine smiled adorably. “I’ll ask Sis An
Jay was discussing the details of the Fourth of July proposal. When he heard Angeline sobbing, he could not sit still anymore and rushed to the basement to get his car to hurry over to the hospital.“Angeline, Josephine, what's the matter?"Jay pushed the car door open. When Josephine saw Jay, she threw herself into Jay’s arms and burst into tears.“Big Brother!” Josephine started sobbing.Jay was stunned. God knew that all he wanted to do right now was give Angeline a hug.He wanted to push Josephine away, but she was crying her heart out.Jay had no choice but to stretch his hand out to Angeline. She walked up to him with pink eyes.He raised his hand to wipe her tears, asking softly, "What happened?"Angeline explained with great sorrow, "The doctor said the child has congenital heart disease. What should we do, Jaybie?”Jay looked at the small private hospital in front of him and said, "Go to Grand Asia Hospital for a reexamination."Just like that, Jay took Josephine and
When Josephine walked out and saw Zayne, she immediately rushed forward and burst into tears.“What should I do, Zayne?"Jay comforted her, saying, “The doctor stated very clearly that your child will develop normally. You don’t have to worry too much.”Josephine was still dejected. "That’s all I’m hoping for.”After leaving the hospital, Josephine suddenly reminded Angeline, “Didn’t you say that you want to go to Carefree Garden, Sis Angeline?”Angeline glanced at Jay, a flash of panic in her eyes. Her voice stuttered when she spoke.“Let’s… not go today!”Jay narrowed his charming eyes at her in a subtle manner. Angeline’s eyes flickered. She was too afraid to meet his eyes.It was clear that she was hiding something from him.“Why do you want to go to Carefree Garden, Angeline?” Jay asked.“To see… Grandma Boye?” Angeline said with a guilty conscience.Jay had not seen Grandma Boye for many days, and although he was not close to Grandma Boye, she did save his life as well
