"Now this is my jade necklace," he said.Angeline snatched the necklace from him and held it like a treasure in her hands, saying, "It's not yours, it's mine. Mom said that this is for her daughter-in-law."Jay was stunned.After he was stunned for a really long time, he asked, “Did she really say that?”Angeline nodded. "Yes."Jay’s gaze was deep and unpredictable. He was suspicious by nature, so no matter how sincere Chloe sounded, he would still be skeptical of her sincerity.He put the ancestral jewelry into his pocket and said to Angeline, “Lend this to me. It’ll be useful for me.”"Will you return it to me, then?" Angeline asked.Jay said, “That’s hard to say.”Angeline sighed. “I shouldn’t have shown the jewelry to you, then.”Jay kissed her on the cheek. “Be a good girl and take a rest. I’m going to Fragrant Vessel Court.”Angeline understood his intention. He was going to Grand Old Master Yorks to verify the authenticity of the necklace, to make sure that Chloe was
Grand Old Master Yorks came to a sudden realization.Yeah, Angeline was not a materialistic person and did not like wearing jewelry, so she certainly did not snatch the jewelry from Chloe.Grand Old Master Yorks stood up in astonishment… "Your mother gave it to her?"Jay nodded in silence. Grand Old Master Yorks sounded extremely emotional. "You found your mother?"People all over Yorks Stronghold had been searching high and low for Chloe yet there was still no news of her. When he suddenly received news about her, Grand Old Master Yorks was both surprised and delighted.Jay said, "Angeline was the one who hid her in Carefree Garden."Grand Old Master Yorks was astounded. His heart that had calmed down was stirred once more."Why is Angeline doing this when the two of them are so incompatible with each other?" Jay replied, "That's because Angeline is silly."Grand Old Master Yorks was dazed.Jay stood up and explained solemnly, "Angeline wants to give her a chance to turn
Cole was dissatisfied. “Hehe, he was practically an invisible man when Angeline was pregnant and snatched the children’s custody from her when the children were five years old. Do you want me to learn from him?”Mrs. Yorks said, "Rubbish! Your cousin raised Jens himself. He’s better at raising children than you.”Cole was dumbfounded.This was the first time he had heard his mother speaking on his father’s behalf. In the past, his mother would take on a different position than his father whether the things he said were right or wrong.Cole gave his father a thumbs up. “Aren’t you great at training your wife?”Spencer was extremely proud of himself. “Look at you. You’re almost 40 now yet still haven’t married. It makes me wonder if you’re really my son.”Cole was infuriated and started sowing dissension between his parents mischievously. “You win. What do you plan to do with Sandra?”Spencer wilted instantly as he looked at Mrs. Yorks dejectedly.Cole pressed on and said, “Don’t
Château de Selene.Angeline anxiously waited for Jay to come home, not knowing why he brought the necklace out.When Jay came back, Angeline rushed to the door to greet him. "Welcome home!" She then carefully took off his coat for him.Jay sat on the couch, and she began massaging his shoulders as well as pounding his back.Although Jay looked expressionless, he was in a very good mood. He had taken the necklace to Grand Old Master Yorks to verify its authenticity and learned that the necklace his mother gave to Angeline was indeed the ancestral necklace of the Yorks family. His gloomy and stifled heart had brightened up for some reason.He knew that he longed for a tender mother and wanted to be a filial son. He wanted a peaceful and harmonious family. This was something he dared not hope for in the past, but now, thanks to Angeline’s efforts, he was beginning to look forward to it.He looked forward to sitting down to eat and chat with his family harmoniously just like tens of
"Okay. Don't worry, Jaybie, I’ll protect myself."“Mm.”The next day.Angeline decided to visit Chloe in Carefree Garden.Jay called Josephine and asked her to accompany Angeline.When Angeline and Josephine were out of the door, Jay was still worried, so he kicked the driver out of the car and said, “I'll drive you there."Angeline and Josephine were sitting in the backseat. Angeline stroked Josephine's belly, basking in the joy of being an aunt soon.Jay lifted Angeline to the front passenger seat and said, “Talk to me. Keep me awake.”Josephine teased, "Don't make excuses, Brother. You can’t stay away from Sis Angeline and can’t wait to put her in your pocket, right?”When his intentions were exposed, Jay smiled but made no reply.When the Rolls-Royce came to Carefree Garden, Jay parked the car on the side of the road and juggled out a box like he was performing a magic trick. He took out a gorgeous hairpin from the box. He then gently and carefully pinned it on Angeline's
Angeline said, "Josephine, my mother-in-law and I have decided to bury the hatchet.”Josephine was astonished.She finally understood why Jay was being so cautious.Chloe and Boye walked up to Angeline. Chloe smiled amiably, her voice soft and gentle. She looked like a completely different person.She said to Angeline, “Oh, you, stop sneaking out to see me or it’s going to affect your and JJ’s relationship if he finds out.”Angeline said proudly, “Don’t worry, Mom. Jaybie is really easy to tame.”A faint smile appeared on Chloe’s face. “But when his hair spikes, I’m worried that he’ll cross the line and chase my daughter-in-law away.”Boye interjected, “You came at the right time, Angeline. Your mother has been trying out new recipes recently and even learned how to make all kinds of snacks for you. Hurry up and try them.”Angeline ran to the kitchen like the breeze and walked out with a few containers of snacks of various shapes.Angeline grabbed one and popped it in her mout
Blissful smiles were still lingering on their faces.Angeline handed the steaming buns in her hands to Jay. “Jaybie, Mom made these. Try them.”Jay took them. When he saw the weirdly shaped buns, he recalled Chloe’s clumsy hands and felt a surge of warm current flowing in her heart.He took a bite and frowned.The flour in the buns was not mixed evenly.Jay pushed the container back to Angeline and complained, “It’s horrible.”Angeline felt a sense of superiority from Chloe’s and Boye’s poor cooking skills and boasted, “Jaybie, your grandpa’s and father’s wives can’t cook, but your wife can. I think you’re luckier.”Jay reached out to rub Angeline’s head, saying in a pampering tone, “Mm.”When Angeline and Jay were together, Jay was the one cooking most of the time, hence after saying those words, Angeline began laughing guiltily.Josephine sighed. “You didn’t see how much Chloe has changed, Brother. She has become so amiable, gentle, and approachable.“Sis Angeline is your l
Shirley allowed Cole to visit Dawn, but she would never agree with the Yorks family raising him. Cole had bonded with Dawn after they spent a few days together. He adored Dawn. He no longer wanted to remain neutral, so he had decided to fight for the custody of the child. Cole said, "Shirley, I know you have plans to remarry. Your future husband may not accept Dawn, so why don't you give me custody? I don’t plan to remarry. I’ll give Dawn only the best in life. Of course, you’re welcome to visit anytime." Shirley smiled bitterly as she said, "Cole, I had already given you a chance. I was willing to give you Dawn, but you didn't cherish that chance. Now, he and I are inseparable. I will not allow you to take him away from me now." She paused and continued talking, "Rest assured, if I do get remarried, the objective is to give Dawn a complete family. If a man can't accept Dawn, then he won't become my husband." Cole kept quiet. Grand Old Master Yorks winked at Cole, tr
