Ch. 1741..1750

Chapter 1741

After hanging up the phone, Jay was momentarily dazed.

His mother and Angeline just had a fierce argument during the day. Could her sudden onset have something to do with Angeline?

Jay lifted the quilt... He quietly got dressed and kissed Angeline, who was still sleeping soundly, and turned around to leave.

Angeline suddenly opened her eyes and stared dazedly at him.

"I'll go too," she said.

Jay said, "I don't think you should go, Angeline. Mom is critically ill. Judy and Sandra will definitely sow discord in front of the Yorks. I don't want them to give you any trouble."

Angeline sat up and said, "If I don't go, then they'll criticize you. You always swallow your grievances. I can't bear seeing them accusing you wrongly."

Jay could not dissuade Angeline and had no choice but to help her change into her clothes.

Half an hour later.

Tourmaline Estate.

Fragrant Vessel Court was crowded with people.

All the Ares and Yorks family members were restlessly wandering the courtyard like cats on a hot tin roof. They were turning round and round.

When Jay showed up in Fragrant Vessel Court with Angeline, everyone was stunned.

After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, they all breathed sighs of relief as if they had found their mainstay. The Ares family members surrounded Jay and started talking all at once, "You're finally here, Jay Angeline."

Jordan stood in the corner. He could sense the Areses' dependence on Jay.

It was as if Jay was their whole world.

Jay stood there with his long and tall body, one hand holding tightly onto Angelina's as he exuded an unfaltering aura.

He was calm and relaxed amidst the chaos.

He said methodically, "My mother has advanced in years and has many hidden illnesses since a long time ago. Sort out all her past medical records immediately and notify the heads of all Grand Asia Hospital's departments to perform a joint diagnosis."

Having said that, he took Angeline's hand and took her inside.

The family doctor was roaring anxiously inside. "The patient's heart has stopped beating. If we don't perform cardiac resuscitation right away, I'm afraid she will..."

Angeline suddenly broke free from Jay's hand and rushed into Chloe's bedroom, saying, "I know how to perform cardiac resuscitation, I'll do it."

Jay yelled at those standing around the ward, "What are you all doing crowding around here? Step aside."

After an hour of emergency treatment, Chloe's nose moved a little and her heart started thumping again. When her breathing evened out, the family doctor gave out new instructions. "We can send the patient to the hospital now."

At this time, Grand Asia's ambulance arrived. The nurse lifted Chloe onto the stretcher and pushed her into the ambulance before leaving in a hurry.

The family doctor walked up to Grand Old Master Yorks and said, "Grand Old Master Yorks, thanks to M s. Severe's timely rescue, Madam Chloe was resuscitated in time. She should be fine now."

It was only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Jay looked at the weary-looking Angeline. Fine beads of sweat were already seeping out of her forehead. Jay was thoroughly impressed by Angeline's kindness when he thought of how she had put aside her and his mother's personal grievances, giving it her best to resuscitate Chloe despite their incompatibility.

Chapter 1742

Chapter 1742

"You must be tired, right?" He pulled Angeline into his arms so that she could lean on him.

Grand Old Master Yorks was overwhelmed by Angeline's kindness. "Thank you for helping us today, Angeline."

Angeline smiled shyly.

Standing on one side, Grand Old Master Ares let out an amiable smile, saying, "You should accept our praise because you deserve it."

The third wife had always been very grateful to Jay and his wife for helping her coach her son, Jean Ares, and for helping her reunite with James Ares.

When she saw Angeline, the third wife said cordially," You're finally back, Angeline. Why don't you stay and eat with us before you leave?"

Jean smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Mom? Sis Angeline is Tourmaline Estate's person in charge. She's not going to leave once she comes back."

Grand Old Master Ares turned his gaze to Grand Old Master Yorks. Grand Old Master Yorks stepped forward and said humbly, "Angeline, Jay, I was wrong to have treated you that way in the past. I seek your forgiveness. I hope you'll put aside personal

grievances and stay here with us as a family. As for your mother, I'll make sure to educate her well. I can only leave in peace once we have all reunited as a family."

Angelina looked at Grand Old Master Yorks. It had been some time since they last saw each other and Grand Old Master Yorks looked like he had aged a lot. His robust good health was now replaced by weariness, and his mischievous face had grown deep and sorrowful.

Angelina was moved by Grand Old Master Yorks' sincere apology and turned around to look at Jay, blinking her eyes to seek permission.

She looked as if she was asking, 'It's so hard to turn down such a warm-hearted invitation, darling. Why don't we stay here?'

After mulling it over for a long period of time, Jay finally nodded.

This made both the grand old masters extremely delighted.

Grand Old Master Ares immediately ordered his servants, "Go and clear out Chateau de Selene. From today onward, Chateau de Selene will belong to the head of household, Angeline Severe." Grand Old Master Ares laughed and said, "Angeline, I can give in to you for anything else but I'll have the final say this time. I'm old now, and it gets lonely when I stay in the castle alone. You and Jay have adopted so many children. Your big family is most suited for Chateau de Selene."

Jay knew about Grandpa's concerns. Chateau de Selene was located far away from Fragrant Vessel Court, so Angeline and his mother would not meet each other often. Moreover, Chateau de Selene was equipped with world-class facilities as well as an electronic eye tracking security system monitoring every corner of Tourmaline Estate.

Grandpa was doing this for two reasons: to protect Angeline as well as see her becoming a true head of Tourmaline Estate.

"Okay." Jay accepted it fervently.

When Judy and Sandra saw how cordial everyone was with Angeline, a dark glow flashed in their eyes.

Sandra pushed Judy aside and gave her a glance that could only be sensed but not explained.

Judy stormed up to Angeline and interrogated her exasperatedly, "Sis Angeline, although you saved Aunt Chloe's life, you don't have any right to accept their gratitude."

Grand Old Master Yorks chided her, "What are you talking about, Judy?"

Judy said, "You probably don't know this, Chief Yorks, but she's the cause of Aunt Chloe's sudden onset symptoms. Yesterday morning, she and Aunt Chloe bumped into each other at the mall. She not only scolded Aunt Chloe but also beat her."

Grand Old Master Yorks and Jordan both cast inquiring eyes on Angeline.

Jay shielded Angeline in his arms and stepped forward, chiding Judy, "Stop sowing discord here. Get lost!"

Judy felt really uncomfortable when she noticed the disgusted look in Jay's eyes. She bit her lip, tears rolling in her eyes.

Jay explained to Grand Old Master Yorks, "Grandpa, you can't blame Angeline for what happened yesterday. My mother provoked Angeline first."

Chapter 1743

Chapter 1743

Grand Old Master Yorks did not speak for a very long time. He felt sorry for his daughter but dared not stand up for her rashly. Offending Angeline would only make things worse.

However, there was a troubled look on his face. If Angeline did not give him an explanation, then this would continue to trouble him.

Angeline walked up to Judy, raised her hand, and slapped Judy on the face twice.

Sandra hurried over and said with ulterior motives in mind, "Why did you hit her, Angeline? We swallowed our anger when you hit your mother-in-law yesterday, but now you're slapping Judy for no reason. If we don't stop you now, you're going to keep-"

Before Sandra could finish her sentence, Angeline gave her another slap on the face.

Spencer's eyes widened...

Grand Old Master Ares had no idea why the meek and obedient Angeline would suddenly become so violent. He, too, stood dazedly on the spot.

Angeline pointed at Sandra and Judy, saying indignantly, "It's because of people like you who are so fond of sowing dissension and carrying tales that my

relationship with my mother-in-law has deteriorated to a point that's beyond cure."

She turned around and said to Grand Old Master Yorks with righteous indignation, "Grandpa, after hearing what Judy and Aunt Sandra said, you probably think that I've done a heinous crime too, right?" Grand Old Master Yorks looked guilty. "Uh..."

"Are they lying, perhaps?" Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Judy and Sandra furiously.

Angeline shook her head, saying with an intimidating aura, "They spoke the truth."

Grand Old Master Yorks was puzzled now.

If Angeline had truly slapped Chloe, why did she look s o confident and justified then?

Angeline continued, "Let me tell you what happened yesterday."

"When my mother-in-law saw me, Zayne and Josephine tried to pull me away to avoid her, but she provoked me and said that I was afraid of facing her because I've done something bad." Angeline told him that Chloe called her a jinx who brought misfortune to her own husband.

After saying those things, Angeline looked at Judy and Sandra. "Am I lying?"

Both Judy and Sandra bowed their heads in silence.

Angeline asked Grand Old Master Yorks again, "Your daughter is willing to curse her own son in order to hurt me. I know it was unintentional. But seeing it from another perspective, this also proves that she can inadvertently hurt Jaybie while she retaliating against me!"

There was an edge in Angeline's gaze as her tone became sonorous. "I don't care who it is, but if anyone does anything to hurt Jaybie, then I, Angeline Severe, will not spare them."

Grand Old Master Yorks sighed with a solemn expression.

He felt unspeakably disappointed in Chloe at this moment.

After all the suffering they had gone through, after the Severes were torn apart, and after Angeline's body suffered greatly, Grand Old Master Yorks thought that Chloe would finally draw in her claws. What he did not expect was that not only was she unrepentant, but she was also pushing things to the extreme now.

"I'm sorry, Angeline, I've failed to educate my daughter." Grand Old Master Yorks sounded extremely devastated.

Angeline's sharp gaze fell on Sandra and Judy." Grandpa, not only do you need to educate your daughter, but you also need to purge this filth as well."

Sandra had always adopted moderation, rectitude, objectivity, sincerity, honesty, and propriety. If it was between Angeline and Jay or Jay and Judy, she chose to support the latter pairing. She thought that she had made the right choice and that this choice was a harmless one.

However, when she saw the edge in Spencer's gaze when he looked at her, her entire soul began trembling with fear.

She understood that relying on Spencer's favor was not why she was able to survive in Yorks Stronghold, but instead, it was because she was obedient and knew how to please Spencer.

Right now, however, the fruits of her labor had been destroyed by Angeline with just a few words.

Angeline, who she thought did not carry a sharp edge, was actually very skilled when it came to dealing with other people.

It turned out that she was only soft this whole time because she felt it beneath her dignity to argue with them. If Angeline was determined to fight them, then she would not go easy on them. Spencer gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Come inside with me, Sandra."

Colors drained from Sandra's face... She followed Spencer inside while trembling.

Chapter 1744

Chapter 1744

At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Angeline calmed herself down and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. She's still my mother-in-law no matter what. Although I hate her, I won't hold a grudge as long as she doesn't cross the line."

Grand Old Master Yorks felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

Grand Old Master Ares hurried over to enliven the atmosphere. "Alright now, Chief Yorks. Now that Angeline is back, we should hold a grand welcome ceremony for her some other day and invite the Severes to be our guests. You can then see your great-grandson again."

Grand Old Master Ares' words had far-reaching effects.

He was reminding Grand Old Master Yorks that now that Angeline had returned, Shirley and Mrs. Yorks would drop by and visit often as well.

Cole and Spencer would have hope of reuniting with them again.

This was Grand Old Master Yorks' wish.

This teeny bit of hope cheered Grand Old Master Yorks up.

This was the end of this brief episode.

That midnight, Jordan and Grand Old Master Yorks went to the hospital to visit Chloe.

Jay insisted on going but was dissuaded by Grand Old Master Yorks. "JJ, you've just recovered from a serious illness, so take a good rest at home. Besides, so many things have happened tonight. You should stay here and take care of your wife lest she falls ill as well."

Jay did not insist anymore.

That night, Angeline and Jay moved to Chateau de Selene.

Jacarandas, roses, and trumpet creepers were planted everywhere in the castle. Angeline was stunned.

"Didn't Chateau de Selene adopt English architecture? When did it become like this?"

Jay smiled and said, "Silly, this is a gift from Grandpa t o us."

Angeline shed silent tears.

Jay said emotionally, "Angeline, although my mother didn't give us her blessing, Grandpa has."

Angeline was so moved that she teared up.

In addition to the changes in Chateau de Selene's landscape design, the interior design had gotten a new look as well. Grand Old Master Ares had changed the luxurious European design to a simple yet modern design.

What surprised Angeline the most was that the bedroom was painted in a dreamy pink shade.

There was a round and oversized leather bed in the center of the spacious bedroom. In the luxurious cloakroom were various types of clothes that any girl would like.

There was also a gorgeous dressing table with skincare products that Angeline normally used.

Angeline was in tears. Grandpa had done so many trivial things for her in order to make her feel at home.

Later, Angeline learned that Grand Old Master Ares had pleaded with Old Master Severe for a very long time. It was only then did Old Master Severe sell his precious granddaughter out, telling Grand Old Master Ares all the things that she liked.

Angeline said, "I like it here, Jaybie."

Jay walked up to her and embraced her tightly.

Angeline had such an intense desire to receive blessings from their families.

Jay said, "We will live here from now on."

"Where will Grandpa live, though?"

"There are five courtyards in Chateau de Selene.

Grandpa has lived here all his life. I can't bear seeing him move out. Let's stay in Chateau de Selene with Grandpa, okay, Angeline?"

Angeline nodded. "Okay."

Chapter 1745

Chapter 1745

After a long and hectic night, Angeline and Jay could only sleep for a short while before it was dawn again.

Worried about his mother, Jay finished his breakfast in a hurry and rushed to the hospital.

This time, Angeline did not insist on going to the hospital with him. Jay looked at Angeline in surprise." Don't... you want to come along?"

Angeline waved at him and said self-deprecatingly," I'm not going. My presence will not be conducive for your mother's recovery."

Jay stroked her nose and said, "How nice would it be if my mother knows how to avoid conflict and live together in harmony?"

Angeline saw the forlorn look in Jay's eyes and stroked his handsome face gently, doing her best to calm him down. "Don't worry. I'll take a detour the next time I see her. I won't get mad at her anymore either, lest she falls sick again and you're the one who has to suffer."

Jay held Angeline's hands with his large warm ones. His delicate and charming face lit up with a dazzling smile. "You're the best."

Only Angeline would compromise for his sake.

"Jaybie, you're someone whom I will spend the rest of my life with, so of course, I must treat you well. I want you to be healthy, to be happy, and live a long life so that you can protect me forever." Angeline gently planted a kiss on his forehead.

They would have endless honeyed words to say to each other every time they spent time together. Jay was especially fond of quiet and peaceful times like this, and at that very moment, he simply wanted to stay next to Angeline and not go anywhere.

Angeline said softly, "It's late now, Jaybie. Just be sure to come home early."

Jay looked at her with tender eyes. For some reason, Angelina's exhortation had become gentle and pampering. She was no longer so intensely coquettish like when she was young.

She was a genuinely mature and charming wife now.

"Mm," Jay said, unwillingly to part with her.

Grand Asia Hospital.

Chloe was no longer in critical condition.

The doctor had diagnosed her with hypertensive heart disease.

When Jay came to the ward, Chloe was extremely cold toward him. It was obvious that she was mad at him.

Jordan and Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Jay helplessly. Jordan said, "JJ, your mother is still mad, so if she says something nasty later, just bear with her because she's a patient." Jay nodded. "I know."

Grand Old Master Yorks then exhorted Chloe, "Chloe, don't make things difficult for Jay. Say something nice. Jay still respects you very much. He was really worried about you when he found out that you're sick."

Chloe sounded extremely aggrieved. "He doesn't recognize who his mother is anymore now that he has a wife."

Jay ignored Chloe's complaints and remained silent, diligently serving her tea and water.

"Why didn't your wife come?" Chloe started looking for trouble.

"I'm worried that her presence will not be conducive for your recovery, so I told her not to come," Jay said cautiously.

"Hmph, so you do know that she's the bane of my life?"

Jay was slightly stunned as a touch of anger filled his eyes.

However, when he recalled that Chloe was still a critically ill patient, he suppressed his anger forcefully.

When Grand Old Master Yorks and Jordan saw their interaction, they both shook their heads and sighed at the same time.

 

Chapter 1746

Chapter 1746

Jay was sandwiched between his mother and wife just like sandwich cookies. How could he possibly lead a peaceful life this way?

Chloe cried out and complained, "It's because you indulged her that she has become so spoiled and arrogant. She doesn't respect me as her mother-in-law and even slapped me in public." "Why did she slap you?" Jay guided his mother patiently and systematically, deciding to have a peaceful talk with her so she would realize her mistakes.

"I just called her a jinx for bringing misfortune to her husband." Chloe did not think she was wrong at all.

Grand Old Master Yorks flew into a rage. "Chloe Yorks, you said that she brought misfortune to her husband, but that husband is your precious son Jay, isn't it? You're cursing Jay then, aren't you? Why don't you get it? 1

Chloe said anxiously, "I didn't mean to curse Jay. I just think that Jay will never have a peaceful life as long as she's with him. I feel sorry for Jay, that's all." Jay said calmly, "Don't blame Angeline for hitting you. She'll get mad at anyone who curses me. Zayne only

said the word 'dead' one time and she went berserk. Mother, you must be careful with your words next time. Angeline is, after all, a girl who's mentally fragile." Chloe could clearly sense Jay's tone turning ice-cold, and only then did she realize that she, as Jay's mother, had hurt her son's heart for calling his wife a jinx.

Chloe began to cry. "I know you'll stand on her side. Everything she does is right while everything I do is wrong."

When a woman started becoming unreasonable, logic was simply nonexistent.

Jay, Jordan, and Grand Old Master Yorks had no choice but to leave all moral standards aside to console Chloe.

"There, there, Chloe. This is in the past now. Take care of yourself. If you love staying in Tourmaline Estate, then stay in Tourmaline Estate. If you don't like Tourmaline Estate, then I'll take you back to Mount Pearl." After all that was said and done, Grand Old Master Yorks still loved his daughter and would do everything possible to lessen the harm done to his daughter in the outside world.

In order to cheer Chloe up, Jordan said, "Chloe, Jay has returned to Tourmaline Estate. You'll be able to see him more often in the future."

Chloe was overjoyed but immediately thought of something. "What about Angeline? Did she come back with Jay?"

Jay replied, "Yes."

Chloe's expression sank at once.

"She never leaves us alone, does she?"

Jay looked sullen.

When Grand Old Master Yorks and Jordan noticed the displeasure on Jay's face, they figured that Chloe was simply too much. She was incessantly pushing Angeline aside.

Grand Old Master Yorks tried to reason with her. "Quit it, Chloe. Angeline is Jay's wife, so of course, she'll go where Jay goes."

Chloe said, "I know, Dad."

Chloe was delighted when she thought of how she would be able to spend most of her time with Jay from now on.

With that, she would have the opportunity to sow dissension between Jay and Angeline.

"You're not allowed to give Angeline trouble," Grand Old Master Yorks warned her, "If something happens that causes Angeline to want to leave Tourmaline Estate, then Jay will definitely leave with her." Chloe glanced at Jay who remained silent and said coldly, "I know. I'll take a detour when I see her, happy?"

Jay breathed a sigh of relief.

In the evening, Jay was worried about leaving Angeline alone in Tourmaline Estate. Since Chloe's condition had stabilized, he planned to bid farewell to his mother and return to Tourmaline Estate. When Chloe heard that he was going home, she pleaded with him bitterly, "Jay, can we have a chat? We haven't even had a good chat after our reunion."

Grand Old Master Yorks persuaded Jay to stay as well. "JJ, why don't you stay and have a good chat with your mother? Take this opportunity to smooth things over between the two of you."

Chapter 1747

Chapter 1747

Jay could not say no to his mother's pleas, so he reluctantly agreed.

At night, Jay sat on the sofa and chatted with Chloe.

Angeline texted Jay.

[Jaybie, what time are you coming home?]

When Jay saw Angelina's text, he could imagine how excited Angeline was.

He felt very guilty and replied to her: [Baby, I can't come back today. My mother tried her best to get me to stay, and I don't feel great saying no to her. Get some rest, don't wait up for me.] Angelina's expression turned sad when she saw his message.

The reason why Jay was not coming home was not that Chloe Yorks was in an unstable condition, but it was that Chloe did not want him to go home.

She replied to Jay: [In that case, get some rest.

Goodnight.]

When Jay saw that seemingly neutral text from Angeline, his mood turned gloomy.

Jay had not seen Angeline for the entire day. He had been occupied with taking care of his mother who

received an infusion earlier that day. Once he was done with that, Chloe kept chatting with him. Jay had no spare time throughout the day to call Angeline and talk to her.

He wanted to check in with her on whether she was comfortable living in Chateau de Selene, whether she had been eating well, and whether she was bored without him around. Chloe looked at Jay who was staring at his phone in a daze. She immediately knew that Angeline was bothering him. She was displeased and fake screamed.

"Ouch!"

Jay paused crafting his reply and called out to Chloe," Mom, are you alright?"

"I have a headache."

"Give me a second, I'll get the doctor."

Angeline waited for a long time but heard nothing back from Jay.

Angeline sighed weakly.

She thought that Jay would have at least replied ' goodnight' to her!

At night, Angeline tossed and turned but could not fall asleep.

Her thoughts started haunting her.

She started thinking that if Chloe begged Jaybie nicely and asked him to spend more time with her, Jaybie would not be able to refuse her.

If her stubborn mother-in-law threatened Jay with death and made him choose between her and Chloe, she wondered who would Jay choose? She felt like she was going crazy.

That was until Angeline realized that if she kept thinking of scenarios like that, she might fall ill again.

She did not want to fall sick like last time. Angeline was drenched in a cold sweat and quickly got up.

She went to the courtyard and started running around in circles. That was the only way she could get rid of the messy thoughts in her head. After she ran for ten laps, her mind was cleared.

She knew that she was overthinking. Jaybie was a wonderful husband. She knew him better than anyone else.

She laughed at herself for being silly. She then returned to the bedroom and fell asleep peacefully.

Hospital.

Judy came to the hospital as soon as the sun rose above the horizon.

Grand Old Master Yorks and Jordan had returned to

Tourmaline Estate. Jay was the only one who stayed overnight.

When Judy walked into the ward, Chloe and Judy locked eyes. The two looked at each other knowingly.

"Did you bring it?" Chloe asked in a hushed voice.

Judy nodded and took out a bag of white powder from her handbag. "Aunt Chloe, this is Love Potion. If Jay drinks this and I flirt with him a little, he'll lose control of himself." "It's not harmful to the body, right?"

"As long as it's consumed in small amounts."

"Okay. Go ahead."

Jay went to the bathroom to splash some water on his face. When he came out, Judy thoughtfully brought a glass of water to Jay.

"Brother Jay, have a glass of water."

Chapter 1748

Chapter 1748

Jay glanced at Judy and said, "Just leave it somewhere."

He did not want to come into contact with items that other women had touched.

Judy frowned and put the glass of water back to where it was.

Chloe reached out her hand to Jay weakly. "JJ, please help me get up."

Jay walked over and helped Chloe up. "I'm thirsty. Can I have some water?"

Judy went over with the spiked water.

"Jay, can you please take a sip for me and let me know if it's too hot?"

Jay took a small sip.

"It's alright."

Chloe took the glass of water but did not drink it. Instead, she told Jay, "By the way, JJ, I feel so much better today. Can you go talk to the doctor and see if we can make a change to today's treatment plan?" Jay stood up and said, "Okay."

When he left, Jay grabbed his phone.

As he walked out of the ward, Jay could not wait to call Angelina.

Angelina answered the call almost immediately. She said in a lazy but coquettish voice, "Jay, I've been waiting for such a long time that the flowers have withered away."

All of Jay's tiredness melted away as soon as he heard her voice. He had a wide smile on his face. "Do you miss me?"

"I don't."

"You're lying."

"There's no point in missing you!" Angelina cried out.

Jay explained, "My mother had a heart attack and has high blood pressure. I don't want to risk triggering her. Angelina, I'm sorry."

Angelina said, "Then, take good care of her and don't worry about me."

Jay replied, "Did you sleep well?"

"I slept great!" Angelina smiled sweetly and continued talking, "Tourmaline Estate is indeed the best mansion in Imperial Capital. The bed is very comfortable to sleep on!"

Jay was not sure how to react. The investment he had put into Carefree Garden was not lower than that of Chateau de Selene.

Over the next few days, Jay was kept in the hospital by Chloe for various reasons.

Judy had been quietly spiking Jay's drink with the mysterious powder. Eventually, the effects of the medicine became more apparent.

He missed Angeline so much, and if he was in a state o f trance, it was easy to mistake Judy as Angeline.

His willpower was shaking. He secretly vowed at the beginning of every day that he would go home to Angeline at night no matter what but was still easily swayed by Chloe. These changes were all because Judy had been feeding him Love Potion.

If he was not a man with strong willpower, he might have fallen for their schemes already.

Six days later.

Chloe ordered Judy to stop drugging Jay. "My child has too much willpower. He's still fully in control of his actions even after being spiked for so many days."

Judy said, "Maybe the dosage is too low."

When she noticed that Jay was still indifferent to her, she secretly increased the dose.

Chloe said, "No matter what, we should stop. We can't drug him for a long period. Let's find another way." "Okay," Judy said unwillingly.

Chloe was finally discharged from the hospital.

Jay and Judy escorted Chloe out of the hospital.

Chloe had been playing nice for the past couple of days. She not only had not spoken badly about Angeline but also often apologized and begged Jay to forgive her for her past sins.

Jay felt that even though he had to separate from Angeline these few days, it was worthwhile because his mother seemed to be changing her view of Angeline.

How could he have thought that Chloe was planning a bigger conspiracy?

She wanted to separate Jay and Angeline, but her strategy and tactics had changed. She used to approach it aggressively, but now she acted like she was seeking peace. Jay was not aware that it was hard to dodge a stab in the dark.

Chapter 1749

Chapter 1749

On the way back to Tourmaline Estate, Chloe repeatedly told Jay, "JJ, I've thought about it. As long as you and Angeline are happy, I won't disrupt your relationship. I think that it's best that she and I don't meet. We can then all live in peace. Please let her know on my behalf that she can disregard our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. We won't meet each other if possible." She was afraid that Angeline would find out about her scheme if they met.

Jay also knew that the conflict between the both of them was on the extreme side, and this was a good way to keep the peace. As such, he agreed to Chloe's request.

After returning to Tourmaline Estate, Jay sent Chloe off to Fragrant Vessel Court.

Chloe asked him to stay for dinner. Jay was eager to head back to Angeline, so he refused. "Mom, I haven't had dinner with Angeline for a few days now. I won't stay for dinner with you tonight." Judy walked up to Jay and said with a smile, "Jaybie, please stay."

The more Jay missed Angeline, the worse his

delusions got.

Judy's recent dressing, tone of voice, and how she addressed Jay was intentional so that she could make Jay think that she was Angeline. He was close to falling into her trap.

He suddenly smiled and took Judy's hand. He nodded gently and said, "Sounds good."

Angeline had not seen Jay for six days. She heard that Chloe was being discharged and that Jay would return to Tourmaline Estate tonight. She made Jay's favorite dinner. She then excitedly waited for him to return.

However, she had been waiting for a long time... The food was cooled to room temperature, so she would constantly warm it up again... Finally, she saw from the clock on the wall that it was midnight. Angeline dumped the food into the trash can. She lost her appetite and crawled to bed listlessly.

At one in the morning.

When Jay woke up, he realized that he had fallen asleep in Fragrant Vessel Court. He got up from the bed in a hurry. He rushed out the door without putting on his coat.

Judy stood by his door. She was wearing a white sheer nightgown while looking at him affectionately." Jaybie, it's so late. Where are you going without sleeping?"

Jay pushed her away and said, "I'm heading back to Chateau de Selene."

Judy said softly, "Jaybie, I'm right here. Why would you want to go to Chateau de Selene?"

Jay turned around and looked at Judy.

His grasp of reality was slipping. Judy's face warped into Angeline's face. He ran back excitedly, and Judy took the opportunity to hug him.

She was extremely excited. She had tried to tempt him many times when they were in the hospital. However, it was a hospital, and she dared not be as blatant as she was today. As such, Jay was always indifferent toward her.

Tonight, she had to do her best to trap him.

"Jaybie, let's go to bed."

Jay looked at Judy passionately as he said, "Angelina, I miss you so much." He ranted about how his heart ached from missing her.

Judy was taken aback. "I know. But it's cold outside, so let's climb into bed."

Jay held her face. He wanted to kiss and grab her.

Judy's cheeks were flushed red. She was overjoyed.

Just as she was hopeful that Jay would lay in bed with her, he suddenly pushed her away.

"You're not Angelina. Get out."

Judy was shocked.

What was going on?

However, she was quick on her feet and immediately said while feeling aggrieved, "Jay, I'm Judy. You've got the wrong person."

The sternness in Jay's voice immediately turned into one filled with shame. "Sorry, I miss Angeline a little too much."

He headed out while staggering.

Tears filled Judy's eyes. She felt desperate.

Jay did not want her even when he was dazed. It seemed that her efforts had not paid off.

She set her eyes on Jay's slender but chiseled body. That noble and elegant temperament of his made him look great in all styles of clothes. She stared at his charming face and mysterious eyes while thinking to herself, 'How could anyone give up on such a man?'

"Jaybie, I must be with you," Judy said.

Chateau de Selene.

Jay tiptoed into the house and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He was finally able to suppress the guilt he was feeling.

After he came out of the shower, Jay lay down next to Angeline gently.

Initially, he did not want to disturb her sleep.

However, after longing for her for a few days, he was unable to hold himself back. He gently turned sideways and held her in his arms.

Angeline opened her eyes and looked at him bitterly.

Jay was surprised. "You're awake?"

He felt joy from the bottom of his heart.

He could talk to her about everything that had happened.

He hugged her tightly and said, "Angeline, I miss you."

Angeline sounded like she had been crying. She said despairingly, "I don't believe you. You didn't call me, and you didn't come home for dinner last night. You made me wait for a long time." Jay was taken aback...

"I'm sorry."

Angeline saw how bewildered he looked and felt distressed again. She did not want him to be involved in the conflict between her and his mom. She did not want to stress him out. She smiled brightly and said, "I know you've been caught up with taking care of your mom. I don't blame you."

Jay was confused.

"Angeline, I won't do it again. Please forgive me."

"Okay." Angeline smiled softly.

Jay looked at Angelina's beautiful face and stroked it lovingly. He moved closer and planted his lips on hers...

"Angeline, I want you."

The next day.

Jay and Angeline slept in.

When Angeline opened her eyes and saw the time, she shyly covered her face. "Ah, I don't want to go out of this room."

If she was in Swallow City with the Severe family, or if she was living in Carefree Garden, she would feel comfortable waking up in the afternoon. However, she had moved into Tourmaline Estate. As the head of the Ares family, she had no time to manage the household. She was afraid of being criticized by Grandpa Ares and the aunties.

Jay looked at the shy Angeline and coaxed her softly." This is your home as much as it is yours. My grandfather won't love you less than your grandfather. If you sleep in, he won't say anything. The aunts live far away, so no one will know if you're sleeping in."

"However, if you still don't get up, they'll eventually come over and find out about you sleeping in."

Angeline quickly jumped up from the bed. She got dressed quickly and efficiently.

She was running around like a headless chicken while Jay was extremely calm. He wore his clothes slowly and looked alluring.

When they went downstairs, the servants were already waiting at the door.

"Missus, the grand old master wants you over for breakfast."

Angeline was dumbfounded.

She asked while feeling a little guilty, "Grandpa hasn't had breakfast yet?"

The servant respectfully answered, "The grand old master said he must have breakfast with you. He has been waiting for you for a long time."

Angeline looked at Jay and said, "I want to hide my head in the ground." 1
