Was he trying to imply that she looked ugly?Angeline refused to fall into his trap and said proudly, "When I look at my bare face, it makes me wonder where this goddess has descended from.”Jay's lips twitched violently. "What a boast."Angeline said, "I'm just telling the truth."Jay looked at Angeline as she smiled sweetly, and for some inexplicable reasons, he thought that this she-devil did not seem so annoying after all.On the contrary, her innocence actually made her seem quite cute."Why are you in business?" he asked curiously.He always thought that Angeline had a soft and adorable personality instead of the manly and tough personality that she pretended to have.Doing business did not fit her character at all.Angeline let out a forlorn sigh. "This is a promise I made to him."Jay listened attentively.Angeline said, "I once promised him that I can be both a creeper plant that needs support or a sturdy tree that can stand independently.”She paused before contin
Jay strode forward with his long legs and was about to leave.Angeline stood rooted to the spot in a daze.The expression on her dark face looked like that of an aggrieved and resentful woman. "Hey, aren't you supposed to send me home after treating me to a meal? Wouldn’t it be dangerous for me to go back alone?"Jay's tall and sturdy back stiffened. He then turned around and said, "Almighty Ms. Severe, you’re just like a high and mighty queen in Imperial Capital. Who would have the nerve to beard the lion in his den?”Angeline immediately put on a pitiful and helpless look like she was a little lamb. She shamelessly grabbed onto his sleeves with her tiny hands. "There are too many men who covet a peerless and natural beauty like me. My bodyguards will normally be by my side, but none of them are around to protect me today. I’m scared to go back alone.”Jay's lips twitched violently. "I’d believe you if you say that they covet your money. Unless the man is blind, who would covet y
Angeline’s eyes were misted with tears. She uttered in an exceedingly aggrieved manner, "Why are you scolding me?"It was obviously his fault. When she was a child, she would hold his hand wherever she went, and that was the cause of her terrible sense of direction.Now he was blaming her instead?Jay was slightly dumbfounded. Why was she crying again?"Tell me where we’re supposed to go right now?" His tone softened inexplicably.Angeline said guiltily, "If I tell you that I'm lost, would you believe me?"Of course, Jay would not believe her. Though after seeing Angeline’s blank and adorable face, he found it hard not to believe her either.To explain herself, she muttered under her breath, "Women, in general, have a terrible sense of direction."Jay retorted furiously, "But you’re no ordinary woman!"Angeline’s face broke out in a delightful grin. "I knew it, Brother Ben. I’m an extraordinary woman in your eyes."Jay said, "To me, you’re an all-powerful and omnipotent fight
Angeline put on a straight face and answered, "I don't have any other valuables aside from you."Jay, "...""Give them the handbag."Hence, Angeline tossed the handbag to the group of robbers.The robbers turned the handbag upside down and flew into a rage when they could not find any valuables in it."This woman has a pretty face. Maybe we can have some fun with her.""Sure."Jay dragged Angeline behind him. "Step back," he commanded with a grim aura.His aura had the power to intimidate anyone out of their wits.Angeline thought she was looking at the awe-inspiring Jay Ares she once knew.She stood behind him. With his back against the light, he looked like a lofty and sturdy green mountain.It gave her peace of mind.When the group of robbers came up waving their knives, Jay ordered Angeline, "Hurry up and run."Meanwhile, he approached the sharp cold blades and began fighting the group of robbers.How could Angeline possibly leave him behind? Her hawk-like gaze fell s
Ultimately, Angeline walked Jay back to his dormitory.Jay reminded her with an ice-sculpted face. "I’m home."Angeline looked at Tourmaline Estate’s initial form on the construction site and suddenly felt like she was dreaming."Yeah, you are home."Tourmaline Estate was Jaybie’s home.She was committed to rebuilding Tourmaline Estate just so she could give him a home.Jay turned around and walked in."Brother Ben!” Angeline called out to him unexpectedly.Jay turned around...Angeline rushed forward without any warning and pressed her lips deeply on his.Jay felt as though he had been struck by lightning and stood in place blankly for a moment.He clearly detested this she-devil, but why did he not feel nauseated at all when she kissed him with those disgusting purple-black lips?On the contrary, he actually felt wonderful.Perhaps his mysophobia had miraculously cured?Angeline was terrified of staying after the kiss and dashed off with a guilty conscience."I’ll come
Realizing that his emotions were being dominated by the she-devil, Jay sat up in despair. After letting out a heavy sigh, he stood upside down in the corner.He had to force himself to calm down and find out why he was feeling what he felt for Angeline.Though no matter how hard he tried to figure it out, he still did not know whether his feelings for Angeline were that of infatuation, reliance, or extreme hatred.The next day, Jay made a firm decision by submitting a resignation letter to the head of the engineering department. He then moved out of the dormitory and rented a two-bedroom apartment in an insignificant housing estate in Imperial Capital.He should probably bring Marilyn and their child over once he found a stable job.At the same time, it would spare him from all the wild thoughts he had for Angeline.When Angeline learned that Jay had left the construction site, she sat behind the desk in the president's office and sighed dejectedly.“Sigh.”It was nothing but a
As soon as Zayne left, Angeline stared at The Plum in the Golden Vase in a daze.After moving into his rental place, Jay’s world became peaceful and quiet.He was neither provoked by the fishermen nor harassed by Angeline.The house was enveloped in silence every day.Even so, he felt extremely lonely.There seemed to be missing a piece in his heart, making his heart feel empty.He bought many books, painting supplies, and a piano for himself.His schedule was packed full of things he needed to learn, and his knowledge soon advanced by leaps and bounds. He thought it was really strange as he was able to grasp most of the information in the book after just reading it once. Furthermore, he was able to learn by analogy and infer other things from one fact and master the subject through a comprehensive study of surrounding areas.On this day, he was seized by a whim and set up a drawing board. After mixing the colors, he started painting.There was a white sheet of paper in front
Baby Zetty was accompanied by Uncle Zayne instead of Finn today.The moment Zayne saw Jay, he could not help but look back upon his and Jay's past. They had both been pursuing each other’s sisters, yet only Jay and Angeline’s relationship came to fruition. Meanwhile, he and Josephine had parted ways with each other.There were also painful memories where he almost had depression due to the terror that Jay's deathly gaze brought.Zayne mulled it over and thought that since now Jay had lost his memories, it would be the perfect time to collect all these new and old debts, or this would etch in his heart forever."Mr. Ben, Baby Zetty said that you only played one piece last time, is that true?" His tone carried harsh criticism that seemed to say, ‘Aren’t you ashamed to receive such a high salary when all you did was play one piece?’Jay did not look abashed at all and replied calmly, "Mm."A man of few words, he was!Zayne deliberately made things difficult for him. "If that’s the
