Ch. 1231..1240
Chapter 1231
Josephine had always been an egotistical and haughty rich young lady in Zayne's heart, coupled with the fact that her brother was also a rich young master, she was practically a woman who knew no grief or woe even when the sky was falling down.
He did not know that there would come a day when she would put herself down like that.
Zayne's heart ached tremendously.
It turned out that she was actually so fragile. She must have been terribly hurt after what he did to her back then.
He held Josephine tightly and murmured affectionately, "We're not kids anymore, Josephine. Don't torture yourself any longer. Let's get married."
Josephine raised her shimmering and misty phoenix eyes.
Then suddenly, she started unbuttoning her blouse...
Zayne was stupefied.
"What are you doing, Josephine? We're not married yet."
"There's no need for that!"
In order to pursue Zayne, Josephine had gone through
thistles and thorns, crossed deserts, got wounded, and shed tears. These formalities were not important at all. What was most important was they were able to stay together.
"But I haven't made a formal marriage proposal yet..." Zayne could not help but think that the occasion was not solemn enough.
"There's no need for that."
Zayne was stunned. "Just how hungry are you?"
"I've been thirsting for more than ten years now. What do you think?"
"Okay, I'll quench your thirst tonight then," Zayne said, pretending to sound like a victim even after gaining a n advantage.
He then picked Josephine up and walked to the big bed.
In the room next door. Jay was not a man who could sit still doing nothing. With the spare time he had, he borrowed Jenson's laptop and started repairing Monster's data.
When Jay raised his wrist to check the time, it was already three o'clock in the morning. After confirming that his woman had completely forgotten about him now that she had Sis Shirley, Jay sighed.
He then shut the laptop and came to Sis Shirley's bedroom, cocking his ears to listen. The whisperings had stopped.
She must have fallen asleep while chatting. When Jay returned to his room, Zayne's bedroom door was suddenly opened. He was wearing a loose white shirt while holding his coat, looking left and right sneakily.
When he saw Jay, Zayne was so terrified that he started shuddering violently.
Jay stuck his hands in his trouser pockets and glared coolly at Zayne, questioning him in an exceedingly stern tone, "You slept with my sister?"
Zayne was awfully afraid and began stuttering, "N-no, I didn't."
"Why are you holding on to your waist then?"
Zayne straightened up with a guilty conscience.
"My waist is a little sore." He gave a flimsy excuse.
Jay teased him sarcastically. "Bad waist? So you're sneaking out halfway, are you?"
Zayne was provoked and extremely displeased. "Who said I have a bad waist? Twice a night! Is that not enough?"
Jay's cold, piercing voice was heard. "So you did sleep with my sister?"
Zayne's eyes widened with shock. He was still too innocent and inexperienced in front of Jay after all.
Jay was able to worm it out of him in just a few sentences and make him spill out everything he just did with Josephine.
Zayne smacked his mouth as a punishment for himself.
"You may need to spend money when you go to a nightclub, but you will have to spend even more for sleeping with such a pricey woman like my sister.
9.99 million. Remember to come to my house to make your marriage proposal when you're free," Jay said with a stern expression.
Zayne was dumbfounded.
He was fine with making the marriage proposal and the dowry, but he felt immensely wronged after Jay tricked him.
Zayne said, "No way. I didn't even ask you for a gift when you pursued my sister, did I?"
Jay replied in a righteous manner, "When I pursued your sister back then, I covered all her living, food, education, and miscellaneous expenses. I basically raised my own wife. How dare you ask me for a gift in return?"
Zayne relented.
Chapter 1232
Chapter 1232
"Fine. 9.99 million it is then."
Jay refused to let the matter drop and continued," Also, stop calling me Master Ares from now on."
"What should I call you then?" Jay was extremely overbearing, but there was nothing Zayne could do about it.
"Call me Big Brother."
Zayne widened his eyes and blurted out, "You want me to call you Big Brother? And you think that's appropriate? Have you forgotten that you're my little sister's husband?" "But now you're my little sister's husband."
Zayne said, "You became my brother-in-law first and that's an unchanging fact. Therefore, you should call m e Big Brother."
Jay stared at him. "What are you going to do if I refuse to call you Big Brother?"
Zayne served him with the same sauce. "Then I won't call you Big Brother either."
"I won't allow Josephine to marry you then," Jay said.
Zayne widened his eyes so much that his eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.
Both Angeline and Jay were already married, so he could not use that as a bargaining chip to threaten Jay anymore.
Left with no choice, he cried out exasperatedly, "I have never seen anyone as shameless as you. Fine!"
Jay was not an unreasonable person, but he had gained maturity from an early age. Zayne was a few years younger than him, but Jay was already a mature, reliable, and charismatic man in his youth. When he looked at Zayne again, he could not help but see him as a wimpy kid. Therefore, if Jay was to call Zayne 'Big Brother', he certainly would not be able to bring himself to do it.
With nothing else to lose, Zayne decided against slipping away and turned around to return to the bedroom to continue where he and Josephine had left off earlier.
Jay looked at the tightly shut door, his face turning livid with anger.
A wave of anger rose in his heart. This was simply a steal for that b*stard Zayne.
He recalled how he had always remained chaste in order to safeguard Angelina's reputation.
Jay looked even gloomier now. He returned to the room, lay down, and fell asleep straight away.
The next day.
A ray of morning light shot into the beige screen window and Shirley opened her eyes.
When Sis Shirley saw Little Angeline sleeping soundly next to her, she thoughtfully pulled the blanket that had slipped underneath for her.
As she was a light sleeper, Angeline suddenly opened her eyes.
Sis Shirley smiled and asked, "You're awake, Sis?"
Angeline stayed very still, giving no response for a very long time.
Sis Shirley called out again, "Sis?"
Angeline suddenly raised her hand and shook it in the air, saying, "Sis Shirley, I think I've regained strength."
Sis Shirley was overjoyed. "Really? Would you like to try and sit up on your own, Sis?"
Angeline nodded. "Mm."
Sis Shirley sat up and looked excitedly at Angeline.
Angeline propped her hands up on the bed and slowly sat up.
Sis Shirley was beyond emotional. "You seem to have recovered tremendously. What about your eyes?"
Angeline blinked. Her vision was still dark as ever.
Angeline shook her head. "My vision isn't recovered yet!"
Sis Shirley offered words of consolation, saying, "Don't worry, Sis. Now that you're feeling better, your eyes
will gradually recover as well."
Angeline nodded cheerfully. She then said excitedly," Help me out of bed, Sis Shirley. I'd like to walk on the ground."
Shirley helped Angeline get out of the bed and slowly let go of her hand. Angeline shuffled for a bit, then very mischievously, started walking briskly all of a sudden.
"I stood up! I can walk now. This is awesome!" Angeline jumped up with joy.
She frightened Sis Shirley so badly that she said in trepidation, "Relax, Sis. You've just recovered."
"I need to see Jaybie, Sis Shirley." Angeline walked to the door with great eagerness.
Chapter 1233
Chapter 1233
Worried, Sis Shirley tried to support her but Angeline refused. "I can go alone, Sis Shirley. Jaybie will be thrilled when he sees that I've recovered." Therefore, Sis Shirley stood further away from Angeline and watched her walk toward Jay's room.
As her vision had not recovered, Angeline placed one hand on the corridor wall and groped her way across several doors. She remembered all of it by heart. Angeline did not stop walking until she reached Jay's room.
Knock, knock!
Jay's drowsy voice was heard. "Angeline?"
"Mm," Angeline answered cheerfully.
When he heard her cheerful voice, he felt less gloomy and depressed. His mesmerizing face broke into a heartwarming smile.
He pushed the covers away, and before he could change out of his sexy pajamas, he walked to the door briskly.
As soon as he opened the door, Angeline jumped onto Jay excitedly and wrapped her hands around his neck like a koala.
This was a treatment he used to enjoy tremendously.
Jay was so stunned that his jaw dropped.
His huge long arms immediately snaked around her waist to support her body. After making sure that she was not going to fall due to lack of strength, he stabilized his beating heart and asked excitedly, "Did you come here alone, Angeline?"
Angelina nodded. "Mm."
Jay rubbed her tiny head and brought it to the nook of his neck. Maybe he was too surprised or maybe happiness came knocking at his door too early, so he embraced Angeline for a very long time, unable to find his voice.
It was only until Sis Shirley came over with a smile did Jay thank her from the bottom of his heart." Thank you, Sis Shirley. How did you do it?"
Sis Shirley laughed. "I think Little Angeline was too happy after hearing the good news in the Severe family yesterday, so her illness recovered."
At this time, the door of the room next to them suddenly opened. Both Zayne and Josephine walked out looking very much in love.
Both bedroom doors were just right next to each other, hence Jay reprimanded with a grim and sullen gaze," Watch yourself." Zayne was stumped.
His gaze wandered between Jay and Angeline.
He then mustered the courage and retorted, "Why are you allowed to do it but not us? You're always making a public display of affection with my little sister too, n o?"
Jay replied, "We're legal and you're not."
Zayne was rendered speechless.
Josephine said, "Zayne and I have confirmed that we want each other, Brother. We're just one certificate short."
Jay pulled a long face and chided, "If you don't have a certificate, then making a public display of affection is something a hoodlum would do. Are you willing to date a hoodlum?" Zayne was more than impressed by Jay's gifted eloquence and relented. "Alright, alright. Stop it. Josephine and I will go and get our marriage certificate today."
Jay said in a petty manner, "Don't forget to go to the Ares family with your dowry and gifts."
Zayne was hit hard. "Okay, okay."
Angeline pouted suddenly, seemingly unhappy with Jay's pickiness.
Jay realized that his woman looked grumpy only after he blasted off without thinking.
For a moment, he was a little puzzled. If he knew that Angeline would get angry, then he would have just turned a blind eye.
"Zayne..."
Just as Zayne and Josephine were about to leave hand -in-hand, Jay suddenly called out to him.
"Nothing." He grunted.
Zayne and Josephine exchanged glances with each other. None of them knew why Jay had suddenly changed his mind.
Angeline s pouting mouth turned upward. She was so pleased that she buried her head in his shoulder.
This was a habit she picked up when she was young.
Jay's features softened. Her happiness had put him in a good mood once more.
Chapter 1234
Chapter 1234
"You should invite a few friends and relatives over for a meal someday." Jay greatly lowered the threshold for Zayne.
Zayne was beyond delighted. "Sure, sure."
He then held Josephine's hand and left.
Sis Shirley did not want to be in the way of the two lovebirds and quickly found an excuse to leave. "I'll go help out in the kitchen."
When they all left, Baby Zetty popped up out of nowhere.
After seeing what happened earlier, the precocious Baby Zetty came to a conclusion. "I think it will be really difficult for you to discipline your rebellious brother-in-law next time, Daddy." Puzzled, Jay asked, "How so?"
Baby Zetty pointed at Mommy. "Uncle Zayne has a magic weapon."
The expression on Jay's charming face sank at once.
Jenson suddenly walked out of the bedroom and dragged Baby Zetty by the back of her collar into his bedroom, saying, "Give Mommy and Daddy some privacy."
Angeline blushed and immediately hopped off of Jay.
Jay pulled her into the room, closed the door, and they started exchanging honeyed words with each other.
"I'm really happy to see how well you've recovered, Angeline."
He then pinned Angeline against the door. "But please don't deprive me of the right to hold you."
Angeline placed her hand on his lean and sexy chest, laughing. "You can hold me as long as you like. I'll be your fitness equipment forever."
Jay said, "There's another fitness exercise that's much healthier..."
He picked her up and walked to the huge bed.
When he reached out his hand to unbutton her blouse, Angeline suddenly clenched her collar and smirked slyly.
"How much are you planning to make Zayne spend on the marriage proposal, Jaybie?"
Jay was stumped. Immediately after that, his dashing face turned black as coal.
Angeline asked again, "What are your conditions for the wedding gift?"
Furious, Jay started hissing. "Are you sure this is the time to bargain with me, Angeline Severe?"
Whenever Jay called out Angeline's full name, it would mean that he was very, very furious.
At this moment, Angeline would become especially timid and embrace him tightly, speaking in a spoiled manner. "I was wrong. Jaybie. I was wrong. I won't do it again next time."
When this happened, Jay would be tamed tremendously. He held her and mumbled, "Our love is s o pure and unadulterated, Angeline. You can't blackmail me when I'm at the height of my enthusiasm." Angeline said with great remorse, "I know I was wrong, Jaybie, and I'm really sorry."
Jay said, disappointed, "You've dampened my spirits. What are you going to do about that?"
Angeline took the initiative to kiss him...
"Is this enough to earn your forgiveness?"
Downstairs.
Jay and Angeline arrived after Zayne and the rest were done with their breakfast.
Zayne teased, saying, "Well, well, what took you so long?"
Sis Shirley spoke up for Angeline. "Sis can't see, so that explains her low work efficiency. It's understandable if she's a little slow."
Zayne said to Lady Severe in a pampered manner," Mommy, we have another sister-pampering monster at home now. My standing at home is dropping more and more."
Lady Severe laughed and said, "Nonsense. Your standing at home has always been very high. You come after Shirley, Angeline, and Brownie, followed by the rest of us."
Brownie was a pet dog raised in the backyard of the Severes' residence.
Lady Severe was rarely in a good mood. Her dry humor had cracked the youngsters up.
Zayne looked as though he had just been hit hard.
After a very long time, he regained his senses and said weakly, "Is there a sword around? I'd like to perform a sword-swallowing acrobatic for all of you. The kind where the sword goes in from the mouth but comes out from the stomach."
Everyone ignored Zayne, leaving him feeling depressed and melancholic.
Chapter 1235
Chapter 1235
When Jay was done having breakfast, he asked Zayne to come over and handed him a bank card.
"There's 200 million in here. Take it to the Ares family and make your marriage proposal."
In Zayne's opinion, a successful entrepreneur like Jay, one who had always played to win, would never do things that could cost him both his sister and money n o matter what.
He then asked vigilantly, "What are you plotting at?"
Jay replied, "Just trying to put a smile on my wife's face."
Zayne was dumbfounded.
He put the bank card into his own pocket unceremoniously and teased Jay. "Master Ares, a ' family-oriented' woman like my sister is about to go extinct. Make sure you cherish her well."
Jay's mesmerizing face was covered in frost. "She really is family-oriented indeed."
He was infuriated at the thought of how Angeline was helping Zayne to keep him under control.
Due to Angeline's health conditions, he knew better than to get mad at her, so he could only swallow the
grievances himself.
"I don't have any specific conditions for the wedding, but you must at least have one. That's showing respect to Josephine," Jay said with a stern expression.
Zayne, the sister-pampering monster, refused to be outdone. "When are you going to have an official wedding with my sister then? Why don't we do it together?"
Jay uttered gloomily, "Angeline disagrees. She says that I'm too good-looking and will only make you look like a ground beetle."
Zayne's eyes bulged out as he asked, "Am I that hideous? I used to be the most good-looking boy in school..."
When he glanced at Jay's mature, reliable-looking, and charming face that had settled with time, his tone gradually dropped and eventually vanished.
Over the years, Jay only grew more and more exquisite. Apart from his deeper and more profound eyes, his jawline and chin were also much more defined now. There was almost no trace of aging on his good-looking face.
Even a giant superstar would look like scum when placed next to Jay.
Jay said, "If you can persuade Angeline to have a wedding with me... then I won't interfere with your and Josephine's affairs in the future."
Zayne was eager to get rid of his annoying brother-in-law Jay and agreed without hesitation. "A piece of cake."
Zayne mobilized all forces that could be mobilized just to convince Angeline to hold a wedding.
Lady Severe said earnestly to Angeline, "JJ has been looking forward to having a wedding with you for so long, Angeline. Just make his wish come true."
Josephine said, "If we hold a wedding together, Sis Angeline, you can help me watch after Zayne the whole time and he won't have the opportunity to run away from the wedding."
Unable to resist all the chirping and buzzing next to her ears, Angeline had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
Zayne threw a triumphant look at Jay, only to find that Jay's expression had sunk. His face was exuding a dark and sinister aura.
Zayne knew that he had always been a temperamental man, but he just could not figure out why he was pulling a long face this time.
Jay felt sorry for Angeline. The entire family was taking turns to pressure and influence her like they were criticizing a prisoner. He, on the other hand, could not help her out of the predicament because it was a long-cherished wish of his to marry Angeline.
Taking into account that this was Zayne and Josephine's first wedding, Angeline made a special request. "We'll do it at a scale smaller than Zayne and Josephine's."
Jay said with a tinge of sadness, "My Angeline deserves the best!"
Angeline said with a smile, "You've already given me the whole world. This wedding isn't going to make it any different."
The wedding was scheduled for three months later.
Zayne and Josephine hired a renowned wedding planner in Imperial Capital to plan details of their wedding.
Both Jay and Angeline sat on one side, listening. When the wedding planner asked Zayne and Josephine if he had any requirements for the wedding, Jay blurted out, "Make their wedding as grand and as large a scale as possible."
His and Angeline's wedding could only be done on a larger scale provided that Zayne and Josephine's wedding was infinitely grand.
Zayne's jaw dropped. "Are you going to pay for that?"
Chapter 1236
Chapter 1236
Jay nodded. "I'll pay for it."
When the wedding planner asked Jay and Angeline what they wanted to do for their wedding, Angeline said, "Keep everything simple."
Jay echoed and said compliantly, "We'll go with my wife's plan and do it at a scale that's smaller than theirs."
Zayne could not help but think that Jay was saying things against his will.
Sure enough, a devil would not be able to hide his cloven hoof.
Jay took out his plans for the wedding that he had prepared in advance and handed them to the wedding planner. "Plan Angeline and my wedding based on this." Josephine and Zayne leaned forward and caught sight of the scene set-up. Pigeon egg diamonds would be mounted to the ceiling to create a sky full of stars. Just this scene alone was enough to make anyone's jaw drop. An insignificant nobleman like Zayne could only sigh at how unknowledgeable he was.
"F*ck. A sky full of diamonds? How much is this going to cost?"
Angeline said, "That's too expensive, Jaybie. Can you cancel the starry sky?"
Jay said, "You made Lucky Wall for me in Grand Asia's office corridor, Angeline, and those lucky stars have passed on their luck to me. Now, I would like to return you a sea of stars, hoping that each of those stars could lend their lights to you and restore your vision."
Angeline could not bring herself to decline Jay after all the thought he had put into this and said, "Okay then. Apart from the diamonds, what else is expensive?"
Zayne started crying out, "Everything is expen-"
Josephine reached out to cover Zayne's mouth. Jay glared viciously at Zayne, making him clam up at once
With that, Jay managed to trick Angeline into the wedding.
The wedding was near at hand.
There was one more thing that Jay was regretful about -Angeline was unable to witness with her own eyes the wedding that he had planned for her.
With that, Jay hired a world-renowned ophthalmologist.
When Jay brought Angeline Grand Asia Hospital, Angeline showed resistance for some odd reasons.
"I don't want to go, Jaybie."
Jay embraced her tightly in his arms and consoled her, saying, "This doctor's medical skill is second to none in the world, Angeline. It's not usually this easy to reach him. Maybe your vision will recover quickly once you receive his treatment?"
Hence, Angeline fell silent.
She did want her vision to restore so as not worry her family members, but she was also worried that the shrewd specialist would discover her little secret.
After the check-up with the doctor, the doctor asked Jay how Angeline had lost her vision.
For the first time ever, Jay showed great patience and told the doctor everything he knew in detail.
The doctor, however, eyed Angeline, the patient, skeptically.
"You said that the patient has somatization disorder?"
"Yes," Jay said.
"The previous doctor told you that the patient's loss of vision is related to her somatization disorder?"
"That's right."
"It has been a month since the patient's somatization disorder has healed, but her vision showed no signs of improvement at all?" "That's right."
The doctor's gaze fell on Angeline's fingers. She was twisting them with unease.
"1 would like to talk to you alone," the doctor said after a very long time.
Startled, Jay nodded.
Chapter 1237
Chapter 1237
Jay placed Angeline under the care of a nurse in the lounge before returning to the ophthalmologist's ward.
"What is it, doctor?"
Jay, someone who was perceptive of the most minute detail, realized that Angelina's eye disease was not that simple.
The ophthalmologist looked Jay up and down with a meaningful glance, then asked questions that insinuated something else, "I don't mean to pry, Mr. Ares, but do you share a close relationship with your wife?"
Jay would fly into a rage if others had the audacity to pry into Jay's private life.
However, the other party was Angelina's doctor, so Jay was exceptionally friendly toward him.
Jay responded in a solemn tone, "Angeline and I are childhood sweethearts. We are very much in love." "That's weird." The ophthalmologist was puzzled." Your wife lost her vision because she cries too much.
Her condition is further aggravated by her mental disorder."
The ophthalmologist opened up Angeline's retinal imaging, pointed to her sclera, and said, "The sclera
you normally see tends to be normal. But if you look into her eyelids, the red blood streaks are extremely obvious."
Blood gradually drained from Jay's face...
"Can her eyes heal?"
Unfortunately, what the ophthalmologist said next dashed Jay's hope completely. "If you can find out why she's crying and remove the cause over an extended period of time, coupled with certain eye drops tha I will prescribe to her, then I believe that there's still hope for her to regain her vision."
Jay replied in a rough voice, "Okay, I understand now. Thank you."
He stood up with quivering legs and walked out in a downcast manner.
Angeline's loss of vision stemmed from her love and worry for Baby Robbie.
How could she possibly stop crying if Baby Robbie did not return?
She was at risk of a long-term vision loss.
Jay was hit hard. He would rather be the one to lose his vision in place of his beloved girl.
When Jay returned to Angeline's side, perhaps it was the built-up emotions inside of him, but he did not say a word for a very long time.
Angeline knew that her secrets would be out the moment Jaybie met the ophthalmologist.
She confessed, saying, "I can't help but overthink it every time, Jaybie. When I read reports about missing children getting abducted, maimed, and thrown to the streets to beg, I get so terrified. I'm just afraid that Baby Robbie is going through similar experiences like that..."
As she said those words, Angeline could not help but weep.
Jay embraced her tightly...
"Oh, Angeline, how I hope I can bear all your pain for you."
When Angeline sensed Jay's moodiness, she felt a pang in her heart.
"I'm sorry for making you worry, Jaybie."
"It's okay, Angeline."
The inconsequential things before the wedding had washed away Jay and Angeline's sorrows.
That day, Josephine and Zayne showed up at Carefree Garden with several gift packages in their arms.
Like a forecaster, Jenson theorized and said, "There's no such thing as a free lunch. They must be up to something."
Zayne protested, arguing, "You're just a kid, so why are you so evil? I even bought some gifts for you. How can I be up to something?"
Jay narrowed his eagle eyes and said in a bone-piercingly cold voice, "Get straight to the point!"
Zayne giggled. "Well, Josephine and I are getting married soon, aren't we? We don't have a bridal chamber yet. I'd like to..."
At this point, he licked his lips, seemingly too shy to speak his mind.
Jenson said, "You can save the rest."
It was no doubt something unpleasant to hear.
Chapter 1238
Chapter 1238
Jenson made Zayne choke so hard that... he strayed from the main point. "All I'm trying to say is... Brother, you're really experienced in marriage, so can you give me some good advice?" Jay nearly spat out the tea he just drank.
He glared at Zayne with an unsmiling face. "What do you mean by that?"
Like a dead mouse that did not feel cold, Zayne said fearlessly, "How can you not be experienced enough when you've married and entered the bridal chamber thrice?"
Jay turned livid with anger.
He had only been married twice and both of them were sham marriages too.
Jay, someone who had always sought revenge for the smallest grievances, did not strike back at Zayne with his silver tongue this time. Instead, he came up with a more malicious plan.
"Go and buy a Tibetan mastiff sometime, Jenson. Put your uncle's cardboard cut-out in front of it and carry out hunger training with it every day. Don't give it meat if it doesn't pounce on the cut-out for at least eight to ten times."
Jenson laughed. "Okay."
Zayne jumped up in fear. "I'm just telling the truth! How can you use such brutal methods to torture me?"
Angeline knew that her brother was not going to speak his mind, whereas her husband and son were revengeful people, so she asked Josephine instead," Why are you guys here today, Josie? What are you trying to tell us?"
Looking a little awkward, Josephine said, "Zayne and I want to move in with you after we get married, Sis Angeline."
Jay refused immediately. "No. I'm not going to raise two giant babies."
Zayne said shamelessly, "You treat Angeline as a giant baby anyway, so why not raise two more?"
Jay said, "Angeline is really easy to raise."
Zayne said, "Codswallop. You need to take care of every aspect of my sister's life, whereas Josephine and I are merely asking for three meals a day."
"No way!"
Josephine took Angeline's arm and started acting in a spoiled manner. "Please, Sis Angeline. Please, let us move in." Angeline loved their energy and liveliness, so she said generously, "If that's the case... feel free to move in then."
Jay's face was sullen... but when he caught sight of the smile in Angeline's eyes, he reluctantly changed his mind. "You can move in, but don't keep appearing in front of my eyes," Jay said bitterly. "Also, cook your own meals!" Both Zayne and Josephine cheered. "Yay!"
Now that they were allowed to move in, they believed they would be able to cadge a meal easily.
The wedding arrived as scheduled.
As Angeline's vision was poor and Jay was busy attending to the guests, Sis Shirley was summoned to be Angeline's personal assistant.
At 8 AM, Angeline put on the wedding dress that Jay had designed for her.
Sis Shirley was full of praise for the wedding dress. "This wedding dress is absolutely gorgeous, Little Angeline."
"Tell me, Sis Shirley, what does it look like?"
There were no words to describe the beauty of the wedding dress at all. "In any case, I've never seen such a beautiful wedding dress on TV. It has a tube top inlaid with your favorite diamonds, a red spider lily on the waist, and a fishtail train. With a wedding dress like this, your fit and curvy figure will make you look just like a fairy."
Angeline smiled. "Jaybie has definitely put a lot of thought into it."
After changing into her wedding dress and sitting in front of the dressing table, the makeup artist who came over to put on her makeup for her showered her with praises. "My God, you have such delicate and smooth skin, Madam. You're already such a stunner even without any foundation or makeup."
Though that was what she said, she still helped Angeline put on her makeup meticulously. The makeup artist was already equipped with the power to transform unsightly things into a masterpiece. With her skillful hands, she successfully molded Angeline into an ethereal fairy.
Soon, news about the bride's dazzling beauty spread like wildfire.
When it entered Jay and Zayne's ears, it took on a totally different form-'The bride looks as beautiful as an ethereal fairy, one that no one can compare to.'
Chapter 1239
Chapter 1239
When word reached the grooms' ears, both Zayne and Jay exchanged glances with each other as they sat in the dressing room.
Zayne said bitterly, "The two of them may be beautiful, but it's not to such an exaggerated extent. They're saying it like we're toads lusting after a swan's flesh."
Jay said calmly, "Now, now, don't be jealous. They're definitely praising my Angeline."
Zayne was dumbfounded.
When he looked at Jay's prideful expression, Zayne felt like he seemed too... petty in comparison.
In order to strike back at Jay for putting him down, Zayne began criticizing Jay endlessly, "Well, that makes sense. My sister gave birth at such a young age. Many unmarried girls are now older than her. She's at an age where she looks delicate and exquisite, yet you're already so old. You're lucky you get to marry my sister."
Jay disliked it the most when others said that he and Angeline were not a match. He pulled a long face immediately. "Do I look that old?"
Zayne replied, "When you dated my sister back then, you guys did look like a match made in heaven. But
now, your age is catching up to you while my sister takes care of her appearance so well that she still looks like a teenage girl. When you go out together, others might mistake you for her father. In a few more years, who knows, maybe you'll look like her grandfather?
Jay said to the makeup artist with a sullen face," Make me look younger."
The makeup artist said honestly, "I've done a skin test for you, Master Ares, and the test shows that you have young-looking skin. There's no need to disguise your age. He, however, is the one who has a lot of skin issues-pigmentation, crow's feet, and enlarged pores. I need to put more work into making him look younger."
The corners of Jay's mouth lifted slightly.
Zayne felt his cheeks burning after getting a slap in the face.
"Terrible eyesight!"
After Jay put on his makeup and changed into his bespoke suit, he went to see Angeline on the other side eagerly.
Angeline was sitting quietly on one side after she had put on her makeup.
As her eyes could not see, her ears were particularly sharp.
At this time, someone shouted at the top of his lungs, This grand wedding will be broadcasted live all over the world. Errors are intolerable.
"Master Ares says that he wants everyone in the world to know that Angeline is his rightful and legal wife.
"When Master Ares and his wife walk on the red carpet, remember to shoot the flower girl behind them. They're a family, so I need you to capture that feeling of bliss and reunion..."
Reunion?
Angeline felt as though someone had dug out a part of her heart and left a hole there.
A live broadcast of the blissful reunion of them as a family of four?
If that was the case... would Baby Robbie see it?
Would Baby Robbie be heartbroken if he saw his mom, dad, and siblings living such a blissful life together yet had left him abandoned and forgotten?
Angeline stood up with mixed feelings, and without warning, she started walking outside like a chicken with its head cut off.
"Little Angeline." Sis Shirley chased after her.
Angeline staggered, her expression bleak and empty." I'm going to the bathroom. Sis Shirley, you don't have to follow me." When Jay came to greet his bride, Sis Shirley told him in a crestfallen state, "Angeline is hiding in the
bathroom and refuses to come out."
"What happened?" Jay asked with unease.
Sis Shirley muttered, "She was probably triggered by the word 'reunion'."
Jay's tall and straight torso quivered slightly as his mesmerizing face was engulfed in ice, gradually losing its vitality.
He walked to the door of the women's toilet and said to Sis Shirley, "Help me clear the place, Sis Shirley."
Sis Shirley nodded. After clearing the place, she stood at the door and said, "You can go in now."
Jay strode into the women's toilet and saw Angeline squatting in the corner covering her face with her hands. Tears were flowing out from the gaps of her fingers. She was so heartbroken that her entire body was quivering.
Jay strode forward and pulled her tightly into his arms.
"Angeline!"
"I'm sorry, Jaybie. I can't do it. I can't pretend that I'm happy when Baby Robbie is still missing."

"I shouldn't have forced you, Angeline. I'll cancel the wedding immediately. We'll have a wedding when we find Baby Robbie."
"I'm sorry for disappointing you," Angeline said while crying.
Jay looked at Angeline in her wedding dress, her snowy skin, charming eyebrows, and her affectionately soft eyes. Her beauty had formed ripples in his heart. "I'm not entirely disappointed. You look really beautiful today. Angeline."
He cupped her face, kissed her with tears in his eyes, and said, "You make me go crazy about you."
Angeline choked with sobs. "Take me out of here, Jaybie."
"Okay."
In the end, Josephine and Zayne were the only ones who attended this grand wedding.
Baby Zetty and Jenson bit the bullet and went through with their duties as flower girl and page boy.
The flower girl and page boy captured everyone's attention.
The guests pointed at Jenson. "That kid is so goodlooking. Who knows how many girls will go crazy about him when he grows up?"
Jenson's expression was blank the entire time.
Baby Zetty reminded Jenson in a low voice, saying," Smile, Brother. We're here to attend a wedding, not a funeral."
Jenson squeezed a ferocious sneer at Baby Zetty to which she shuddered and said, "Forget it. I think you shouldn't smile. You look terrifying when you do." The flower girl and page boy carried the bride's train and sent her to the groom.
After the wedding, the guests dispersed.
Zayne and Josephine took their family back to Spring Hotel where they all rushed to Jay and Angelina's room. They started throwing questions at them. "What happened, Jay?"
"Why didn't you hold a wedding in the end?"
Silence!
After a very long time, Jay suddenly announced a shocking decision, "I've decided to leave Imperial Capital to get Baby Robbie back!"
He looked firm while his tone was decisive. This was clearly a decision that he had made after careful
consideration.
Everyone was beyond astonished.
"The world is such a huge place. Where are you going to find Baby Robbie?" Lady Severe asked.
Jay said, "We heard that Baby Robbie was kidnapped by Monster and he's linked to Doomsday Organization. I'll make a trip to Doomsday."
Everyone's complexion turned pale at the mention of Doomsday.
Zayne stepped forward to express his disapproval. "Three years ago, you barely made it out alive from Doomsday's den, and now you're planning to show up at their doorstep. You're just having a death wish.' Angeline, who had remained silent for a very long time, suddenly said in a sonorous voice, "I support Jaybie's decision."
Angeline gave her own reasons. "We're Baby Robbie's parents. Since we gave birth to him, we have to take up our responsibility. We have no reason to give up looking for our child just because it's dangerous."
Jay walked up to Angeline and cupped her face.
"What are you going to do once I leave, Angeline?"
Angeline clutched his hands tightly and said emotionally, "Take me with you, Jaybie. I'm sure you know just how restless I am whenever you leave. I'll be so tormented that dying would be better than living. I will only feel secure when I'm with you."
Perhaps only those who had experienced death knew just how easy separation was.
"Okay." Jay choked with emotions. "We'll live and die together."
Angeline let out a gratified smile.
