Chapter 1111
"Name?" Jay asked suddenly.
Jean smiled and said, "Hehe, Brother, you're trying to trick me into revealing your name, eh? No way. If I tell you your name, you'll then discover a lot of things, won't you?" Jay said, "I'm not asking you to tell me my name. I'm asking for your name."
Jean blurted out, "Jean Ares!"
Realizing that he had made a mistake as soon as he said his name, Jean covered his mouth and stared at Jay in great horror.
There was a crack on Jay's dashing face...
"Your name is Jean Ares," he repeated nonchalantly.
However, a tempestuous storm was surging in his heart.
"My surname is Ares too, right?"
Jean shook his head, but the look in his eyes had failed to conceal his lie.
Jay guided him slowly. "They call me Jaybie, right?"
Jean's horrified eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets.
"We are of the same generation, so my name is Jay Ares, right?"
Jean shook his head vigorously.
A trace of bewilderment emitted from Jay's eyes. "I am Jay Ares, Grand Asia's founder, right?"
Jean's sexy Adam's apple rolled slightly. He continued to shake his head.
Jay glared at Jean with dark, cold eyes, then yanked his hand away from his mouth violently. "Tell me what happened three years ago. Why was I in a car accident?"
Jean was suffocating from holding back and simply threw caution to the wind. "You're my biological brother. Since you already know who you are, then please, I beg you, don't make things difficult for me. If you want to know anything at all, you can go back and ask Sis-in-law. She has banned everyone in Grand Asia and Imperial Capital from telling you the truth-"
At this point, Jean realized that he had exposed something he should not have and stopped talking abruptly. He stared at Jay in horror.
Jay's eyes were filled with a gratifying smile. "I was right then. I really am Grand Asia's founder, Jay Ares!"
He then wore a questioning look on his face. "Sis-in-law?"
Who else other than Angeline Severe could impose a ban throughout the entire Imperial Capital?
"Is Angeline really my wife?"
He was slightly puzzled. Since he was the all-powerful Grand Asia founder, why did he not choose the woman of his dreams as his wife?
Why did he choose a violent woman like Angeline as his wife instead?
However, at the thought of how Angeline had folded stars that adorned the entire wall and even defended Grand Asia for him, Jay started blaming himself.
It turned out that he had always been the man who Angeline held close to her heart.
Although she had a bad temper, her profound love was rare. He was happy and blissful to receive such a n unfaltering love. 1
"Brother, I'm currently in the best years of my life and would love to live a few more years. Please stop asking me. If Sis Angeline finds out that I've spilled the beans, she'll sew my mouth shut." Jean pleaded piteously, nearly embracing his legs.
Jay gave him a death stare.
Jean cried, saying, "It's no use glaring at me, Brother. Sis Angeline forbade us from telling you!"
Jay was even more curious now. "What if I insist?"
Jean shook his head and said, "I choose to listen to Sis Angeline." "Can't you tell if your brother or your sister-in-law is
closer to you, you brat?" Jay snapped.
Jean said, "You're both equally close to me."
Jay said, "Do you have a death wish?"
Chapter 1112
Chapter 1112
Jean said, "If I tell you the truth, Sis Angeline will make me die an even more horrible death." Jay could tell that he did not have as much authority and prestige as the she-devil.
This dealt a heavy blow to his self-esteem. "Why are you so afraid of her?" he asked furiously.
Jean said, "I'm not the only one. Back then, you were afraid of her yourself, weren't you, Brother?"
"I was afraid of her?" Jay sounded as if he had just heard a fantastical story.
Jean said, "Don't speak too soon, Brother. Make sure you leave a way out for yourself or I'm afraid that the durians in the market aren't enough for you to kneel o n."
Jay looked grim. Why did he have a feeling like he was the most useless son-in-law out there?
When Jean saw the defeated look on Jay's face, he patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, saying," You should just go along with Sis Angelina's arrangement, Brother. Everyone in this world may hurt you but Sis Angeline will not."
"What benefit did she give you for you to say nice things about her like that?" Jay groaned.
Jean pondered for a moment, then said while keeping a straight face, "Generally when Sis Angeline sees me, she will either be scolding me or is about to scold me. She hasn't given me any benefits. I'm saying nice things about her because she's kind to you, and you, you're the elder brother I respect the most."
Jay was speechless. "What sort of logic is this?"
"If I'm the elder brother who you respect the most, why did you work together to lie to me?" Jay interrogated him.
Stunned, Jean said, "We're doing it for your own good, Brother."
Seeing that Jay clearly refused to believe him, Jean raised his hand and vowed. "I swear on my honor."
Jay looked contemptuously at Jean. "Do you even have honor?"
Jean,
Since Jean was unwilling to reveal anything, Jay had no choice but to employ his ultimate move.
He took out a pocket watch from his pocket, then reached out and swung it. With that, the pocket watch started swinging before Jean's eyes.
Jean quickly reached out to hold the pocket watch." You have amnesia, don't you, Brother? How is it that you still know how to hypnotize someone?"
Jay was dumbfounded. "How do you know that I can
hypnotize someone?"
Speaking of hypnosis, Jean said between clenched teeth, "It's all your fault, Brother. When you first started learning hypnosis when you were young, you made me your guinea pig. You made me disclose all of my evil-doings and caused me to get spanked on the butt by Mom and Dad every day like they were playing doubles."
Jay realized what was going on. It was no wonder this brat did not take the bait.
When Jay stared at the extra careful Jean, he sank into deep thoughts.
Knowing that it would be difficult to worm things out of this brat, Jay pulled him up and said, "Take me home."
Jean sighed. "Sigh, what a misery it is to fall into your hands."
As Jean and Jay walked home, Jean started mulling it over, thinking how hard he was going to get spanked on the buttocks by his grandfather and uncles if they learned that he had betrayed Sis Angeline. Therefore, it would be best for him to hand Jay over to the gentle and tender Madam Ares. 1
Jean avoided the main road that was lined with surveillance cameras and eventually came to the courtyard of the first wife's house. When he brought Jay to the main entrance, Jean found an excuse to slip away.
"Don't tell them that I was the one who brought you back, Brother. I need to save my life, so I'll be making a move now."
Jean bolted faster than a rabbit.
Jay's falcon-like pupils turned beyond dark and profound as he thought to himself, 'What sort of secrets about me are they hiding from me? Why is the Ares family and Angelina trying to deceive me?' Jay knocked on the door. When the servant came to open the door, her pupils widened in shock at the sight of Jay. "Master Ares?"
Jay nodded.
"Please come in, Master Ares." The servant invited Jay in with great enthusiasm.
At this time, a heart-wrenching cry of a woman was heard coming from the living room.
Jay frowned, paced himself, and hurried to the living room.
Chapter 1113
Chapter 1113
As soon as Jay stepped into the lobby, he saw his foster mother and Sera huddled together while crying aloud.
Sera's beautiful face was bruised and swollen while her lips were busted and bloody.
Jay frowned. "Who hit you?"
When they heard Jay's voice, they abruptly raised their heads. When they saw Jay, a glint of delight emitted from their eyes.
Shortly after that, Madam Ares started choking with sobs. "Forget it, my child. What can you do even if we tell you? Now that the Ares family has lost its former glory and prestige, we're subjugated and wronged all the time."
A cold glint of jealousy emitted from Sera's eyes, yet even so, she put on an act as though she had suffered terribly. She wailed, saying, "You were right, Mom. As Grand Asia's president, Angeline is simply too powerful and dominant in Imperial Capital. We can't afford to offend her. My injury and grievances are nothing. As long as she's willing to spare the Ares family, my suffering will be worth it."
Jay's falcon-like pupils emitted grim and cold frost.
"Why did she hit you?" Jay asked.
Sera said with tears in her eyes, "Ever since Grand Asia annexed Ares Enterprise three years ago, the Ares family members have been struggling to make ends meet. Since Mom and I have reunited now, I thought Angeline would still respect me as her sister and return the shares belonging to Ares Enterprises if I ask her to. Not only did she not give it to me, but she has also beaten me up."
Sera touched her red and swollen face, tears streaming down her face. "Ever since she became Grand Asia's president, she acknowledges no one in the family."
Madam Ares said with righteous indignation, "You were the one who founded Grand Asia, my child.
Although I have no idea why you gave Grand Asia to her, I believe that this was never your intention and you certainly won't let her make enemies with Ares Enterprise. After your accident, she pushed the Ares family around unscrupulously and annexed the Areses ' family business. We're all bitterly disappointed by her actions."
Jay frowned.
Although the words that his adoptive mother and Sera said were not exactly credible, Jay believed that by founding Grand Asia, he would only expand his business based on his own ability. He would certainly not punish his own family so boldly.
It was probably never his intention to annex Ares Enterprise either.
"Where's Father?" Jay looked around and asked curiously when he did not see anyone else in the Ares family.
"Your dad used to be Ares Enterprise's chairman. He led a fulfilling life and would usually go out early in the day and return very late at night. Ever since Angeline annexed Ares Enterprise, she has turned your dad into a mere figurehead. Now he has nothing to do and loiters out there every day." Madam Ares sighed.
Jay's expression sank. "If Father wants to keep running Ares Enterprise, then I'll ask the she-devil to return the Areses' family business to him."
Madam Ares was delighted inwardly. To be on the safer side, Madam Ares made a suggestion with ulterior motives. "Angeline may be a girl, but she's extremely clever. If you ask her blatantly, I'm sure she won't comply with your request. Why don't you try and sneak her stamp out? As long as we can stamp the contract that we draft out, she won't be able to do anything anymore." Jay nodded. "Okay."
He said mildly, "Wait for my news." Then, he turned around and left.
Madam Ares and Sera exchanged glances. The ecstasy in their eyes was impossible to conceal. Sera said, "As long as he's willing to help us obtain Angeline's private stamp, it will be the end for Angeline." Madam Ares nodded.
Jay took a cab back to the Garden Of A Diary and put on the handcuffs. He lay on the bed in silence as he awaited Angeline's return.
In the evening, Angeline dragged her exhausted body home.
When Jay heard her footsteps gradually approaching, he closed his eyes to sleep.
When Angeline pushed the door in and saw Jay, she was stunned.
Like she had found a lost treasure, a look of delight broke out on her beautiful face. She walked up to him and removed the pillow that was covering his face. "Stop pretending."
Jay opened his eyes and stared bitterly at Angeline.
He realized that he could keep no secrets in front of her because she would always able to guess his thoughts at one glance.
Chapter 1114
Chapter 1114
Jay stared at her. Her thin shoulders made her look very frail, but her eyes were very bright-so bright that they revealed determination and persistence. "Where did you go?" Angeline questioned, looking down at him from above.
Jay cushioned his head with his hands and stared dispiritedly at Angeline. "Home."
Angeline was slightly stunned. "You met the Areses?"
"Mm."
"What did they say to you?" A trace of anxiety emerged in Angeline's eyes.
Jay's eagle eyes emitted a hint of frost. When he spoke, his voice had lost its warmth.
"Return Ares Enterprise to the Ares family, Angeline."
Angeline stared blankly at Jay. "Who suggested this to you?"
Jay put on an imposing aura. "I am Grand Asia's founder and I have the right to decide whether Ares Enterprise goes or stays."
Angelina's tender features looked ruthless and tyrannical in an instant. "If you want to make a decision for Grand Asia, then wait until your memory has fully recovered. Not now."
Jay put on a grim expression. "That's my home and my roots, Angeline. I can't be Grand Asia's founder and overthrow the Ares family who has raised me. You're putting me in a position that makes me seem ruthless and ungrateful."
Angeline said, "I understand now. You only met your foster mother when you returned to the Ares family, right? Oh, if you were lucky enough, you probably met Sera too." Jay,"..."
Angeline suddenly roared. "Your mother colluded with Bell Enterprise's Uncle Andy to make things difficult for Grand Asia. In order to fight back, I've decided to take revenge."
Jay was stunned. "Are you asking me for my opinion?"
Angeline's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she sighed weakly.
He had made it clear that he would stand on his mother's side and would stop her from giving his mother trouble. To seek his opinion on this matter would only cause conflicts to arise between them. "I didn't ask for your opinion. I just thought I should let you know since she's your mother."
Jay said, "What if I disagree?"
Angeline leaned forward and uttered word by word in a sonorous and forceful voice, "Your opposition is
invalid."
Jay sat up and leaned closer to her face. When they were facing each other from such a close distance, they exuded an aura of diamond cut diamond.
Angeline said, "I won't spare anyone who has the guts to harm Grand Asia's interests."
"And that includes you," Angeline said.
Jay could see the look of determination and the exhaustion after a long day of work exuding from Angelina's eyes.
All of a sudden, a scheme came to his mind.
"Do whatever you want," he said.
There was a startled look in Angeline's eyes. She stretched out her fingertip and brushed his nose, saying, "I guess you're still quite sensible, aren't you?"
Jay grabbed her wrist and the corner of his sexy lips curled up into an evil sneer. "Go and take a shower, Angeline."
Angeline was a little stunned but quickly broke into a smile. "Wait for me."
Jay let go of her hand, staring at her with a meaningful glance and an evil smirk.
Chapter 1114
Chapter 1115
Chapter 1115
Angeline grabbed her pajamas and walked to the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom door, she suddenly looked back and smiled.
Jay always felt that her smile carried a deeper meaning to it. However, the smile he returned to her carried an even deeper meaning.
After Angeline entered the bathroom, Jay unlocked the handcuffs and quickly jumped up from the bed.
He rummaged through the boxes in the bedroom and under the guidance of his subconscious mind, found a safe embedded in the wall. He located Angeline's stamp box, which contained two different stamps. Jay took them out but ended up staring blankly at them.
Did he really want to do this?
Angeline lay in the bathtub, the thick makeup on her face already washed off by the water to reveal her pure bare face.
Her smooth egg-shell skin looked as if it could crack under the slightest blow. Without her smokey eye makeup, her eyes now looked alive and innocent. Angeline put on a white nightdress after her shower, her long wet black hair hanging freely over her shoulders. It was as if the water had washed off her edges, making her look completely harmless.
She dried her hair, washed her face seriously, then paced back and forth in the bathroom nervously.
She wondered if he would be more delighted or surprised when he saw her bare face?
Angrier, perhaps?
He would probably be angry at her and Baby Zetty for lying to him, right?
Angelina knew that there was no escaping this, hence she pulled open the bathroom door gently and sauntered outside as slowly as she could.
Jay stuffed the stamps into his pocket and lay back on the bed at lightning speed.
Angeline switched off the lights without warning and Jay's vision was suddenly pitch-black.
"What's the meaning of this?" He was slightly angry.
Just as he was about to reach out to switch on the bedside lamp, Angeline suddenly pounced on top of him, clutching his hand to prevent him from switching it on. In the dark of night, Jay let out a sneer. "You can't show your face because you're too ugly?"
"No," Angeline grumbled.
"Why did you switch off the lights, then?"
Angeline replied, "I'm afraid you can't control yourself because I look too beautiful without my makeup. My Aunt Flo is here today."
Jay,
"So you're reminding me to ride the crimson tide with you?"
Angeline blushed. "No one wants to ride the crimson tide with you. I'm going to sleep next door."
She was about to make her escape when he pulled her back. "I'm not that old to the point that I need to sleep alone, Angeline."
Angeline was locked in his embrace. "I can ride the crimson tide with you, Jaybie, but can you not switch on the lights?" The corners of Jay's mouth tucked into an evil sneer.
His hand had reached for the bedside lamp.
When the room was illuminated once again, Angeline quickly buried herself in his arms.
She refused to let him see her face.
"Didn't you say that you look devastatingly beautiful? Why are you afraid to let me look?"
Angeline shook her head. "I was just joking."
"How ugly are you that you don't even have the courage to show your face?" Jay was beyond puzzled.
He pushed Angeline away from his arms, but she covered her face with her hands.
When Jay tried to take her hands away, they seemed to have merged with her face as he could not pull them apart.
Jay did not care about her bare face at first, though seeing how she was holding it so tightly, he suddenly felt curious.
He held her wrists and exerted strength without warning, pulling Angeline's hands away from her face by force. Jay heard the exaggerated tearing sound effect that she made herself and saw her smiley eyes.
Chapter 1116
Chapter 1116
After seeing her harmless childlike bare face, however, Jay was so stunned that he could not speak for a very long time.
Angeline raised her eyes and looked at him. "Jaybie," she called out coyly.
Jay looked dazedly at her. At this moment, he was unable to associate Angeline with the savage and outrageous she-devil at all.
He had to admit that her makeup skills were really amazing.
After he was done feeling astonished, he then felt immensely delighted.
It turned out that the woman of his dreams, the woman who was imprinted in his mind, was Angeline.
How lucky was he that the girl he liked liked him back.
However, this girl had tortured him so badly by lying to him.
"Well don't you look just like your cousin, Angeline?" H e joked in an angry tone.
Angeline took his hand and apologized sincerely. "I don't have a cousin. Sera and I are the only women in
the Severe family."
Like rain in spring, her docile demeanor extinguished the raging flames in his heart.
His dignity and pride as a man had aroused his unruly emotions. He suddenly reached out to wrap his arms around her neck, and the next thing she knew, she was lying beneath him.
He propped up his hands on both sides of her body and stared at her. "Answer a few questions truthfully, Angeline!"
Startled, Angeline asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Why did you lie to me?"
Angeline, "..."
There were too many things that she had lied to him about, so exactly which one was this guy referring to?
Jay narrowed his eagle eyes. "What's wrong? You can't recall? Do you want me to knock you on the head?" Angeline grinned sheepishly.
"Why didn't you come clean about our relationship when you first met me?"
Jay was irritated just thinking about it. "Well, well. Mighty President Angeline, weren't you as pleased as a punch when you strutted around and acted all aweinspiring in front of a fisherman like me, eh?" Angeline swallowed her saliva. She looked like she was about to cry.
"You think I didn't want to reunite with you? When I first saw you, I almost rushed over to hug you. But... The gift you gave me during our first meeting was that you were married and had a son. I was so heartbroken at the time that even my heartbeat started thumping abnormally."
Jay suddenly recalled the scene of her asking her subordinates to give her nitroglycerin when they first met.
It turned out that he had upset her.
"Even so, you shouldn't have kept it from me for so long, right?" Jay was still angry.
Angeline reached out and cupped his face. "Jaybie, the doctor said that there's still a blood clot in your brain and you aren't supposed to be triggered or be under pressure. That's why I was worried about reuniting with you impetuously. I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable getting stuck between an old and a new relationship. Yes, I was afraid that you would fall in love with Marilyn and afraid that Tiger was your biological son, but tell me, if all this turns out to be true and if I force you to leave them behind, do you know how upset you would be?"
Jay was dumbfounded!
It turned out that what Jean had said earlier was true. Angeline had been lying to protect him.
"Jaybie?" Now that Angeline had stripped off her ruthless and tyrannical aura, she looked just as gentle
as water.
Jay stared blankly at her. All of a sudden, he leaned in to kiss her instinctively.
He thought it would just be a peck on the lips at first, but he ended up deepening and extending the kiss because her scent made it hard for him to stop.
After the kiss, he looked sternly at her and warned her carefully. "You mustn't lie to me again from now on."
Angeline's expression sank. She looked hesitant and weary.
Jay snorted coldly. "Mm? You're still keeping something from me, aren't you?"
When Angeline saw the cold glint in his mesmerizing eagle eyes, one that was colder than the coldest of ice, she suddenly chickened out.
She had told too many lies.
If she confessed all of them to him, he would certainly explode.
Chapter 1117
Chapter 1117
Jay's face was suddenly shrouded in ice. "Angeline, let's put the blood clot in my head aside. Even if I have a malignant tumor, I'm still not that vulnerable to the point where I can't deal with pressure. If you're still keeping something from me, then you'd better spill everything all at once."
Angeline chuckled dryly. "What else can I keep from you? You've lost your memory, so there are many things you don't know. I have so many things to tell you yet I don't know where to start."
A blatant excuse!
Jay lay on the bed in despair. "We're husband and wife, Angeline. We should be honest with each other."
Angeline felt a pang in her heart. She had said the same thing when she interrogated him back then, yet he still chose to carry all the burdens alone.
Angeline was, after all, trained and guided by him. Hence, both of them shared similar personalities.
There were two things that she chose to keep to herself.
One was Baby Robbie's disappearance and Jenson's return date, which was still unknown. If he knew that his decision had brought such ill fate to the children, h
e would no doubt spend the rest of his life in guilt and self-blame.
Secondly, the Ares family's misfortune had become a thing of the past now. All she wanted to do was to seal up this painful past. She forbade anyone to get to the bottom of the matter for fear that the Doomsday Organization would come back after learning that their scheme had failed.
Therefore, the wise and outstanding Angeline could only think of a way to satisfy his curiosity. She changed the subject. "Baby Zetty is our daughter, Jaybie."
Jay was so excited that he sprung up and sat on the bed.
He felt as if he had won the lottery. He was initially a miserable and homeless guy, yet God had suddenly rewarded him with an exquisite wife and an extremely adorable daughter?
Angeline muttered again, "Baby Zetty is our daughter." When she said these words, her tone sounded extremely gloomy and her expression was dim.
After seeing how the corners of Jay's lips lifted up in joy, Angeline felt like she was suffocating.
If he knew that he still had two more outstanding sons, two of who bore a striking resemblance to him, he would look even more delighted.
Where was Baby Robbie, though?
When would Jens return?
They left the safe refuge of their parents at such a young age. Would they still be teenagers who had pure and innocent smiles when they returned? Angeline felt bitter as tears flickered in her eyes.
Jay reached out to cup Angelina's face in his hands. Feeling emotionally moved, he said, "Thank you for giving me such a beautiful and lovely daughter." Angeline looked uglier smiling than when she was crying.
Outside the window, lights were waning.
An idea suddenly struck Jay. "I'm going to go and fetch Baby Zetty back."
Angeline held onto him. "It's so late now. Go tomorrow."
Jay said, "She's still so young. I don't feel safe leaving her at Horizon Colors alone."
Angeline laughed. "Don't you worry. Finn is there to take care of her."
Jay frowned. "That worries me even more."
Angeline did not know whether to laugh or to cry. "Are you worried that Finn will bully your precious baby daughter?"
Jay nodded. "Men are all animals who think with their lower half. Any man can make mistakes in front of a beautiful girl."
"I'll go with you, then," Angeline said.
Jay looked at Angeline. Her face was glowing with a white luster while her obsidian eyes looked especially huge, which made her look even thinner.
Jay suddenly took her into his arms. "Let's sleep, Angeline!"
That night, they slept embracing each other.
Angeline slept especially well when she was in his arms. It had been so long since she last slept so peacefully.
With the glow of the bright moonlight, Jay studied her exquisitely beautiful face in silence.
His slender fingers brushed across her gentle lines.
For some reason, he loved the bare-faced Angeline so much that he did not want to let go.
He suddenly recalled his mission and fished out the two stamps from his pocket. He started stroking them while thinking to himself, 'Three female liars. Which one of them should I trust?'
In the end, he put the stamps back in place, lay down next to Angeline, and took her in her arms while saying softly, "They may be in my life, but you, Angeline, you live in my very core. I have no reason not to believe you."
The next day.
For the first time ever, Jay had a lie-in.
He slept until the inviting aroma of mushroom soup and freshly-baked goods greeted his nose.
Jay opened his eyes slowly.
He saw Angeline standing in front of the bed with an apron tied around her waist. Her tousled hair was casually tied up in a bun, looking messy yet orderly at the same time. She looked like an easygoing girl next door.
Chapter 1118
Chapter 1118
"It's time for breakfast, Jaybie." Angeline smiled brightly, wearing a blissful look on her face.
Jay sat up, his upper body bare.
Angeline stared at his handsome upper body that looked like a Greek sculpture and licked her lips.
Jay,
"Where are you looking at? Don't you feel ashamed at all?"
Angeline stuck out her tongue and muttered, "It's not like I've never seen it before."
Jay suddenly felt like he was at a disadvantage.
She still remembered how his body looked like but he could not remember how hers looked like. He clearly had the chance to get to know her last night, but he chose to spare her when he saw her sleeping so soundly.
Jay turned to look at Angelina's face. "Come here. Let me take a good look at you."
Angeline clutched her chest and made her escape.
When Jay came to the kitchen after getting dressed, Angeline was peeling an egg and carefully putting it on his plate for him.
She then handed him the mushroom soup that she had just stirred to the right temperature.
Jay looked at her with gloomy eyes. "Do you take me for a giant baby?"
Angeline flashed a mischievous smile. "If I indulge you and turn you into a mollusk, then you won't leave my side ever again." Jay looked at the rich yet light food on the table and frowned. "I don't like eating takeaway breakfast."
Angeline said, "I got up early just to make this mushroom soup for you. I made the eggs and chiffon cake all by myself too."
Jay popped the chiffon cake into his mouth, and sure enough, it did taste different from the store-bought chiffon cake outside.
It tasted light and just a tad sweet, unlike the chiffon cakes out there that were usually too sweet.
He then took a sip of the mushroom soup. The condiments in it were not too overpowering or salty. Plus, it had the exact texture he liked.
He looked at her in disbelief. "This is better than the ones sold out there. How long have you been learning this?"
When Angeline heard his compliment, she grinned." You have a bad stomach, so I learned how to make lots of stomach-nourishing food for you from a very young age.
Jay was eating the chiffon cake elegantly. When he heard what Angeline said, he thought the chiffon cake tasted sweeter and more delectable now. The food he ate left a lingering fragrance in his mouth. Angeline was going all out to be kind to him, giving everything she had to love him.
Jay felt slivers of warmth in his heart.
When they finished their breakfast, Angeline gathered the dishes and cutleries and was just about to stand up to bring them into the kitchen when Jay suddenly reached out to hold her hand. Angeline stared at him dazedly, standing rooted to the same spot.
Jay grabbed the dishes from her hand and said, "From now on, you don't have to do the housework anymore."
He took the dishes into the kitchen.
Angeline leaned against the kitchen door and said," Why can't I do the housework? You can't deprive me of the right to cook for you."
Jay turned to look at her unhappy face and a blissful smile broke out on his mesmerizing face.
Having a wife like Angeline was pure bliss.
Jay replied, "I'm not marrying my wife just so she can be my nanny."
Angeline frowned and tried to reason with him." Someone has to do these things. I don't like to hire a
nanny."
Jay answered firmly, "I'll do it."
Angeline,
When Jay was done washing the dishes, he walked up to her.
"You need to reward me for doing the housework."
Angeline was dumbfounded. "What do you want?"
Jay closed his eyes.
Angeline received the hint and immediately and pecked him on his lips.
Jay said with a satisfied look on his face, "With that, I'll never hate doing housework anymore."
Angeline was caught between laughter and tears.
Why was this man getting more and more childish?
Chapter 1119
Chapter 1119
As she was in a hurry to go to work, Angeline tried to call the driver only to have Jay disconnect her call. "I'll take you to work."
When Angeline went out, Jay looked at her bare face and frowned. "Aren't you wearing any makeup today?"
Angeline touched her face and said with a puzzled expression, "Why do I still need to put on makeup now that you're back? No one will bully me when you're around, so I don't need to be the terrifying tigress anymore."
At the thought of his petite and delicate wife exposing her ethereal beauty in front of those men in broad daylight, Jay felt particularly uncomfortable and uneasy.
"No way. As long as you're still Grand Asia's president, you have to put on makeup, or else... you won't look intimidating at all."
Angeline surrendered and went upstairs to put on her makeup.
When Angeline came out after putting on her makeup, Jay criticized her for no reason, saying, "Your makeup doesn't look good today!" "Which part?" Angeline was puzzled. She followed the
same steps every day. With the makeup skills that she had, how could it be any different?
Jay looked at her smokey-eyed makeup and for some reason, the same pair of panda eyes that he used to find comical and ridiculous, looked pleasant to the eye today.
"You don't look ruthless enough," Jay replied after a very long time.
Angeline looked speechlessly at him. She was sure that this guy was being paranoid again.
"I'm running late. Let's go." She pulled him to the parking lot in the basement.
Jay drove Angeline to Grand Asia's entrance and reminded her. "Remember to come home early."
Angeline crossed her arms and looked at him with displeasure. Even after this guy had found out about his identity, he did not have the intention to return to Grand Asia at all. "Where are you going, then?" Angeline asked.
Jay replied perfunctorily and dodged the question, "M e? I'm going to go and bond with my baby daughter."
Angeline thought for a moment and offered him a word of caution. "If you're going to pick Baby Zetty up, then I have to tell you something."
"Go ahead then." "Regardless of what you see later, you're not allowed to blame Finn," Angeline said.
A trace of stupefaction emerged on Jay's dashing face. "Even if Finn bullies Baby Zetty, I, as her daddy, should just sit back and watch?"
Angeline said, "If you want to lecture someone, then lecture your daughter. If you see someone pinning another against the wall or stuff like cuddling and whatnot, then Finn is definitely the victim. Your daughter is the one who's shamelessly pestering him. He's just not daring enough to lecture her nor can he lecture her."
Jay suddenly looked sullen. "Baby Zetty is already so lovesick when she's still so young? Who taught her this bad habit of falling in love at such a young age?"
Angeline stared at him blankly. "Maybe it's inherited."
Jay,
Needless to say, he was a man with strong selfcontrol, hence he was certainly not the unruly one who fell in love at such a young age.
Jay was so mad that he pinched Angeline's face. "How old were you when you started dating?"
Angeline replied honestly, "Ten years old."
Jay nearly choked on his anger. He pinched her face harder. "Now aren't you something? Having a beautiful face doesn't mean that you own the right to start dating at such a young age. Spit it, who's that b* stard who pursued you? How dare he get one step
ahead of me? I'll hack him to death if I find out who he is!"
Angeline let out crisp laughter. "Sure. I'll sharpen the knife for you after that. Chop him into pieces for me."
Jay was furious. "You think I'm not brave enough to do it?"
Angeline said, "I'm sure you won't chop him up."
"Hehe." Jay sneered, "We'll see about that."
Angeline laughed. "Okay, then. Suit yourself. I'm going to work now."

Chapter 1120
Jay watched as Angelina walked into the company before turning the car around and driving away.
He came to the stamp carving market, found a shop with advanced technology, and placed two urgent orders.
In no time at all, the boss came out and placed the stamps in his hands, saying, "Sir, we deliberately made an almost imperceptible flaw in the stamp according to your instructions."
"Okay, thank you very much." Jay took the stamp, and when he saw the characters that were deliberately carved to imitate the old stamp, the corners of his lips curled into a satisfying smile. After leaving the stamp carving market, Jay arrived at the Ares family.
Madam Ares and Sera greeted Jay with delight when they heard that Jay had arrived.
"Did you get Angeline's stamp, my son?" Madam Ares asked eagerly as soon as she saw Jay.
Jay nodded. He asked mildly, "Where's the contract?"
When Madam Ares motioned at Sera with her eyes, she turned around and entered the room. In no time at all, she came out holding a stack of papers. It seemed
like they had made necessary preparations in advance.
Jay took out both stamps and quickly stamped them at the designated spot where Sera pointed them out to him.
Sera rejoiced covertly. She was still quite worried that Jay would be suspicious at first. If he discovered that some of the documents in it were Bell Enterprise's documents, then this would be the end for them. However, Jay seemed to be in a hurry as all he wanted to do was finish his task and return the stamps as quickly as possible.
Sera was even more convinced that the stamps were real.
When Jay had stamped all the papers, Madam Ares invited him to stay for lunch.
Jay looked at the empty living room and asked curiously, "Where's Dad?"
Madam Ares sighed. "Who knows where he went loitering again this time?"
Jay smirked and declined tactfully. "I'll pass. I have to return the stamps immediately. If the she-devil finds out about this, then all our efforts will go down the drain."
After Jay left, Madam Ares and Sera were elated.
Madam Ares instructed Sera, "Hurry up and send the documents to your dad, Sera."
Sera nodded. "Mm."
Shen then left with the documents in her arms.
After leaving the Ares family villa, Jay took out the stamps, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Hmph, everyone just wants to take advantage of me, but do they really think it's that easy?"
Jay let out a determined sneer, "Let see what sort of vile characters we can draw out with these two stamps."
Then, he tossed the stamps into the trash can next to him without hesitation.
Bell Enterprise's courtyard.
Steven flipped through the documents Sera brought him, the thrilled look in his eyes impossible to conceal.
"Did Jay really sneak out the stamps, Sera?" Steven was a sly and scheming fox after all. The plan went so well that it was hard for him to believe it.
Sera said confidently, "Don't worry, Dad. Mom was there to help me. Now that he and Angeline have fallen out, Jay will definitely fulfill his obligation as a dutiful son to help Mom."
Steven's eyes shone with great delight. "God sure is helping me."
"Come in."
His personal attendant walked up to him. "What can I do for you, Master Steven?" "It's time for our hackers to tamper with Grand Asia's internal data. When the time is right, we will empty out Grand Asia's funds, and when that happens, we can finally see Angeline face bankruptcy and be completely paralyzed."
A hint of delight flashed in Sera's eyes.
