Chapter 1751

Jay looked at Angeline, who was blushing, then pinched her cheeks endearingly. He smiled and said," Remember when we were kids? You got drunk, climbed onto trees to grab birds, and even secretly trimmed grandpa's beard... This is nothing compared to those."

Angeline kept quiet.

Her childhood memories in Tourmaline Estate flowed through her mind.

When she was a child, she was a top student who was great in her academics and had a good character. However, she was close with Zayne since they were young and eventually, Zayne, the class clown, changed her for the worse.

All of Angeline's favorite activities then became very male-centric.

It was rare for her to sit down quietly like a lady.

If she had not met Jay, she would not have become a lady.

IIT H

Let s go.

Jay dragged Angeline to the outdoor dining area in Chateau de Selene.

Grand Old Master Ares was sitting in a wheelchair. When he saw Jay and Angelina walking over hand in hand, his wrinkled but elegant face flashed a relieved smile.

It has been 20 years since he last saw Angelina and Jay holding hands in front of him. Now that he saw it again, he felt as if a generation had passed.

"JJ, Angel, come here. How long have you been tossing about last night? Why did you get up so late?" Grand Old Master Ares' body was getting older but he had a young mentality. Angelina's face turned as red as an apple.

Jay pulled the chair for Angelina, then rubbed her head while saying, "Grandpa, don't make fun of us. Angelina is shy."

Grand Old Master Ares chuckled and said, "When you were young, you had skin thicker than walls. What happened? You're becoming shyer."

Angelina hid her face in Jay's arms. "Jaybie, please make him stop."

Grand Old Master Ares started reminiscing about the past. "Angelina, back then, you came to Tourmaline Estate when you were a kid and had blatantly said to me, 'Grandpa Ares, I'm fond of your baby grandson. From now on, he's mine. You're not allowed to find him a wife.' What happened to the courage you had back then?"

This was the first time Jay had heard of this. He was shocked.

"When did this happen?" Jay asked, surprised.

Grand Old Master Ares looked at the blushing Angeline and said, "Ask your wife."

Great!

Angeline thought that upon her return to Tourmaline Estate, she would act maturely for her age. However, Grand Old Master Ares brought up her shameful past memories. Angeline went all out.

She stopped covering her face and said shyly, "This just proves how far-sighted I am. Otherwise, Jaybie and I wouldn't be together."

Jay sliced up some cake and fed Angeline. He echoed her, "Yeah."

Grand Old Master Ares glanced at Jay. He saw that his charming peachy eyes were shining brightly, his handsome face filled with happiness.

Jay's love for Angeline was only growing stronger with time.

Grand Old Master Ares was done teasing Angeline and shifted his focus to Jay. "JJ, laugh all you want. I still have a lot of stories about your wife. If you want to hear them, come play chess with me. I'll share them in detail."

Angeline glared at Jay. "Stop laughing."

Jay suppressed his smile. "I'm not laughing."

However...

Grand Old Master Ares shared another funny memory about Angeline. "Angeline, you should eat more. I still remember that you promised me something back then, n

Angeline started eating. She was an overconfident blabbermouth who had made lots of promises to other people.

She was not sure what promise he was talking about.

Chapter 1752

Chapter 1752

Grand Old Master Ares was not planning on letting her off easily either. After all, since Jay was displaying a keen interest in the topic, Grand Old Master Ares merely wanted to make his grandson happy. He simply wanted to share all the foolish things Angeline had done and said in pursuit of Jay.

"Which one are you referring to?" Jay asked.

Angeline covered his mouth. "Don't ask."

Jay was filled with laughter.

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Angeline, you swore an oath to me. Didn't you say you'd give birth to a row of sons for Jay so they'd make up an entire football team?"

Of course, Angeline remembered this.

At the time, some tool sputtered nonsense about her being barren due to her petite figure. She furiously rushed in and swore an oath to Grand Old Master Ares, saying, "Who told you that a skinny person wouldn't be able to give birth to children? I'll give birth to a platoon of sons for Jaybie so that they can play football or basketball with Jaybie... If I can't do it, Jaybie won't be able to find a wife in this lifetime." Then, she timidly added, "Except for me."

After Grand Old Ares finished his story, Jay chuckled out loud.

Angeline pushed her plate and utensils away. "I'm done eating. I'm full now, so I'll be leaving."

Jay locked her in his arms, and she could not take a step further.

Grand Old Master Ares decided to be merciful and said, "Alright now. Grandpa will stop. You stay here and continue eating. Eat more, okay? Grandpa will be waiting for another grandchild."

Angeline panicked. "What? Do I truly have to give birth to another baby?"

Grand Old Master Ares replied, "Why not? Don't you plan to keep your promises?"

Angeline looked at Jay for help...

Jay knew that his grandfather's intention was merely to better their relationship. At this moment, he was looking forward to holding onto Angeline so that she would try and fulfill her promise every single day. They were talking about the process, yet the foolish Angeline was focusing on the results.

Jay would not be so stupid as to ruin his own happiness.

Hence, he turned a deaf ear to Angeline's request for help.

Angeline stood up and patted her chest. "I didn't say that. Angeline Severe always keeps her promises. I'll give birth to babies at least once a year from now on, and I'll keep doing so until the day I die." Jay pinched the area between his eyebrows. This girl was never able to withstand a little bit of prodding.

"Sit down." He pulled Angeline to his side to sit. "If you want to give me more children, then you should be eating more. I heard that eating more alkaline foods can increase the chances of having a son. So, here, have some salad."

Angeline scooped some over dubiously. She chewed on the food while tears were welling up in her eyes.

Grand Old Master Ares chuckled happily while looking at the scene.

"Oh my, it's been so many years since Grandpa watched the two of you being all lovey-dovey right in front of me. Grandpa hopes that your hard times are over now and you'll live carefree lives in the future." Grand Old Master Ares stood up. "I'm full now. You two take your time."

When Grand Old Master Ares was leaving, he ordered the servants around, "Clear some space. Leave the two lovebirds in their own world."

Angeline's face was reddened once more.

After they had their breakfast, it was already midday.

Jay held Angeline's hand as they strolled through the clean and dust-free avenue of Tourmaline Estate.

They passed by Jordan's Fragrant Vessel Court and Jack's Sycamore Annex, going through Josie's Flying Moon Cottage. It felt as if they were walking through a time tunnel.

Ultimately, they stopped to rest under a jacaranda tree.

Jay hugged Angeline and sighed. He was overwhelmed with emotions. "I still remember the first time I saw you. It feels like it was only yesterday, but in a blink of an eye, we've been through more than 20 seasons together."

Chapter 1753

Chapter 1753

"Angeline, did you know that from the first moment I saw you, I knew I couldn't let go of you in my entire lifetime. It was because you had created ripples in my tranquil heart..." Jay could always recall the first time he saw Angeline. Her delicate and immaculate elf-like face had utterly moved his heart.

Angeline listened to Jay's words of love and suddenly felt an itching sensation coming from her ankle. She looked down and saw a rabbit gently rubbing itself on her feet.

"I believe in having a sixth sense. And I believe that the way we ended up together was a gift bestowed to us by the heavens. So it doesn't matter how often we were separated. I've never been discouraged because I firmly believed that you'd eventually make your way back to me," Jay murmured emotionally.

However, Angeline was not responding to him. Jay proceeded to raise his head in astonishment. Then he saw that she was passionately playing with a palmsized rabbit.

She stretched her legs out and the rabbit continued to hop happily around her feet. The rabbit and the girl played together cheerfully. Jay's handsome face was instantly distorted.

"Jaybie, I like this rabbit. It seems to be really attached to me as well. I think it's a gift from God as if I was destined to meet it."

Jay was dumbfounded.

Why did he talk about believing in having a sixth sense earlier?

F*ck the sixth sense.

He wanted to roast the insensitive bunny rabbit and spread sauces on it.

Angeline bent down and hugged the rabbit. She placed it in her arms and gently ran her hand through its furry body. The beautiful scene looked like it came out of a painting, and Angelina's quiet temperament was very refreshing to the eyes.

Jay quickly put the idea of roasting the rabbit on hold temporarily. "If you like it, then let's take it home and keep it as a pet!"

Even if he disliked some of the things that Angeline liked, he was willing to overlook it for the smile on his wife's face.

It was just that he never expected it to cost him so much.

Angeline lovingly hugged the rabbit, unwilling to let go of it. She had released Jay's hand.

Angeline was also very excited to give the rabbit a name. "Jaybie, let's call this rabbit Jac from now on."

Jay was not a pet-loving person. Moreover, he never could understand how some of those people raised their pets as their children. Seeing that Angeline did not intend to change her mind, Jay could only helplessly accept it.

"As long as you like it," he said dimly.

"You don't like it?" Angeline asked him while blinking her innocent eyes,

Jay wanted to nod his head but then thought of the saying 'love me, love my dog' and proceeded to shake his head against his will.

"If you like it, then I'll like it as well."

Angeline breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "I just know you'll like it. Can't you see how cute my Jac is?"

Jay glanced at the rabbit, that was now his rival, and hostility flashed across his eyes.

"It's still not as cute as you are," he said languidly.

Angeline hugged Jac the rabbit home and did not stop to rest even for a moment.

She wanted to make a beautiful nest for Jac and also a pretty doll to keep the rabbit company.

Throughout the whole afternoon, Jay sat on the lazy chair in the garden, feeling bored. He was listlessly looking at the busy Angeline in front of him.

"Angeline, do you think I look laidback? Like an old man in early retirement?" Jay could not stand the way Angeline was ignoring him and began to start a conversation. He was deliberately trying to gain sympathy.

Without raising her head, Angeline said, "Jaybie, you're at the prime of your age. How can you retire? As long as you return to Grand Asia, you'll be that dreadful crown prince of Imperial Capital who thousands of people will admire again."

Jay muttered in a low voice, "Won't you be worried if so many people were to admire me?"

Angeline laughed, revealing her neat, white teeth. "I'm not worried at all. You have great morals, and you love your wife and children. You'd never do anything sorry toward me."

Jay gazed at the blue sky sorrowfully...

Chapter 1754

Chapter 1754

"Are you not afraid of me getting drunk and fooling around after drinking...."

"I'm not. You're a germaphobe, and even when you stayed under the same roof as Marilyn for so many years, you didn't mess around then. I have faith in you." Jay,"..."

It seemed like he had given her too strong a sense of security.

"Angeline, come over here and let me cuddle you." Since Angeline could not grasp what he was trying to point out, he should express his needs straightforwardly.

"Give me a second. I'm almost done with Jac's nest. It'll have a home by tonight."

Jay suddenly felt that he was lacking love.

At this moment, someone from Fragrant Vessel Court came by.

"Young Master Jay, Eldest Madam has invited you to have dinner with her tonight."

Grand Old Master Ares had five sons, and Jordan was the eldest. Hence, his wife was honored with the title'

Eldest Madam' by the servants. Before Jordan and his wife returned, Jack and his wife were the eldest in the household. They were honored with the titles 'Master' and 'Eldest Madam'. However, now that Jack was a divorcee and his wife was no longer around except in name, Chloe had completely taken over the title.

Jay looked at the busy Angeline. Thinking about how she barely had the time to keep him company now, he might as well head to Fragrant Vessel Court to visit his family and also to show some respect. He stood up and walked toward Angeline, saying," Angeline, Jaybie will be going over for a short visit."

Angeline put down the work in her hand. When she raised her eyes to look at him, she was slightly at a loss for a moment.

"Then, when will you be back?" she asked reluctantly.

For some reason, there was a subconscious feeling that told her it would not be easy for him to return after going to Chloe's side.

Jay replied, "I'll be back after dinner."

"Oh." Angeline nodded. "Then, go ahead."

Jay rubbed her head before turning around and leaving.

Angeline felt her heart turn hollow suddenly, and she could no longer muster the strength to do anything else. After forcibly finishing up the rabbit's nest, she went upstairs and sat in a daze in the study room. Fragrant Vessel Court.

Chloe and Judy saw Jay coming over. There was a secret hint of joy floating about in their eyes.

Sandra was standing beside them with a cold expression on hers.

Since Angeline humiliated her publicly last time, Spencer had become particularly cold toward Sandra. Hence, Sandra had shifted all her anger toward Angeline.

Now, she was determined to join hands with Chloe and Judy to go up against Angeline.

She firmly believed that only when Angeline completely fell from grace and Judy became Jay's wife could their good and peaceful days genuinely arrive.

"Mom," after Jay entered the house, he elegantly greeted Chloe.

"JJ, come over and sit," Chloe greeted him affectionately.

Jay looked at Judy who was a seat apart from his mother. If he sat next to her, then he would end up sitting next to Judy as well. Ultimately, he chose the seat between Grand Old Master Yorks and Jordan. "Grandpa, Dad."

Grandpa was in a particularly great mood. It felt as if when Jay returned, everything would soon be alright

again.

"Where's my cousin?" Jay asked curiously when he noticed Cole was not around.

Spencer could feel his eye bags twitching, and his teeth started aching whenever someone mentioned that son of his. "Don't mention that stinking brat. He only pisses me off now. He barely cares about his own son and just hangs around outside all day."

Chapter 1755

Chapter 1755

Jordan was continuously scooping food into Jay's plate. Jay gracefully ate his meal in silence.

Judy wanted to say a few words to try and win Jay's heart. Yet when she noticed Jay's cold expression as if he was placed above the common populace, she only felt discouraged.

Jay was accustomed to being a man with very few words when he was outside. However, he was nothing short of a chatterbox when he ate his meals with Angeline at home. After Grand Old Master Yorks took a couple of bites of his food, he abruptly placed the utensils down and said to Spencer, "Give Cole a call and tell that brat to get his *ss down here. I have something to say to him."

Spencer had a complex expression on his face. "Dad, it's not like you don't know that b*stard Cole's way of thinking. If I ask him to return to Tourmaline Estate, he'll say that Angeline rebuilt Tourmaline and he doesn't deserve to step foot into this place."

As soon as Spencer finished his sentence, Chloe's face turned distorted.

"Angeline Severe has clearly bewitched your son," she said furiously.

Spencer replied, "Sis, stop trying to argue with someone like Cole."

Jay's handsome face was instantly shrouded in frost. His cold eyes cast a warning glare at Chloe.

Chloe was baffled by her son's aggressive gaze.

Even though they had gotten along very well this week, she still did not dare to mutter anything bad about Angeline in front of Jay.

Jordan noticed that Jay was currently in a bad mood and he stared at Chloe viciously.

"Chlo, don't go touching a sore spot now."

Chloe stayed silent with a sullen expression.

Jay placed his utensils down and stood up. His voice had no temperature to it as he said, "I'm full. I'll be heading back now." Chloe immediately cast a look toward Judy.

Judy quickly stood up, saying gently and thoughtfully, "Brother Jay, I'll see you off."

Jay said coldly, "I know the way."

Judy felt utterly choked up.

Jay quickly walked away with his long pair of legs.

Judy plucked up the courage to chase after him.

After Jay had left, Grand Old Master Yorks looked at Chloe while feeling displeased. He resentfully said,"

You truly are something else. Don't you know that Angeline is a taboo topic in front of Jay? Why do you have to bring her up?"

Chloe lowered her head and did not dare to speak further.

"Jaybie."

After Jay had walked some distance away, he suddenly heard Judy calling him Jaybie. The tone and voice sounded exactly like Angeline's.

Jay's cold face instantly turned from anger to joy. His gloomy mood became brighter as well as he turned around to look at Judy who was trotting over.

"Angeline."

Judy was slightly startled and then continued to call out to him sweetly, "Jaybie."

Jay nodded and said, "Mmm."

At this moment, his consciousness had become slightly distorted and confused. He had no idea if the person in front of him was Angeline or Judy.

Judy sent him all the way to Chateau de Selene. From a distance, Angeline could see the two of them approaching as they talked and strolled. When he arrived at Chateau de Selene, Jay even rubbed on Judy's head gently.

Angeline was immediately dumbstruck.

Judy glanced at Angeline, who was slowly walking

over, and quickly escaped. "I'll get going now, Jaybie."

Jay suddenly grabbed her hand. "Where are you going?"

He wholly regarded Judy as Angeline.

Angeline saw him take the initiative to hold Judy's hand so affectionately and she could feel the anger rushing to her head.

"Sir Ares, what on earth are you doing?" Due to her anger, Angeline had changed the way she usually called Jay.

Whenever she acted coquettishly around him, she would call him Jaybie. Sometimes, she would even call him darling. However, whenever she was angry, she would definitely call him Sir Ares.

Chapter 1756

Chapter 1756

Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Judy quickly let go of Jay's hand. She turned around and hurriedly escaped. Jay looked at Angeline, his consciousness somewhat confused. 1

His hesitation was deemed a manifestation of a guilty conscience in Angeline's eyes.

Angeline's expression darkened, and she proceeded to turn around to enter the house. Then, she slammed the main door shut. The earth-shattering sound completely awakened Jay from his daze.

He touched his nose and wondered to himself.

Why was Angeline so mad at him?

"Angeline, open the door."

"No. You can go ahead and spend the night in Fragrant Vessel Court." Angeline's furious voice could be heard through the door.

Jay was slightly in a daze. Did he perhaps stay at Fragrant Vessel Court for too long just now and made Angeline angry?

Looking at the closely shut door, Jay sighed weakly.

He never thought the day would come when his wife would completely reject him. Fortunately, he was well versed with Angeline's soft spots and continued to coax her. "My darling, please let me in. I'll kneel all night if I have to."

"Since you like that person from Fragrant Vessel Court so much, then scram over to Fragrant Vessel Court and spend the night there."

"I do like the people in Fragrant Vessel Court, but it's because they're all my blood relatives. However, my baby is here, and my whole life is here. Come on now, open the door. I want to come in."

Jay was pouring his heart out, but Angeline could not feel the slightest bit of warmth at all.

She buried her face in the pillow and burst into tears.

When Jay heard Angeline crying, he was utterly startled.

He started pounding on the door and shouting vigorously, "Angeline, open the door."

When the young couple was having a fallout, the servants managed to convey this news to Grand Old Master Ares very soon after.

It was as if Grand Old Master Ares had heard something fictitious. "What? Angeline locked JJ out the door?"

Grand Old Master Ares was puzzled. "Angeline has always been extremely tolerant of Jay. Why is she

willing to keep Jay outside now?"

The servant said, "Grand Old Master, Young Master Jay went to Fragrant Vessel Court for a meal tonight and the madam refused to let him in when he came back."

The servant did not dare gossip for further information.

Grand Old Master Ares said, "I'll go over to have a look."

When Grand Old Master Ares reached the front lawn, he saw Jay leaning on the wall with a helpless look on his face. Seeing the grand old master, Jay squeezed a wry smile on his face as if he was asking for help.

"Did you do something wrong?" Grand Old Master Ares walked over with his hands on his back.

"Old man, don't try to make me your entertainment for the night. Haven't you lived a long life and have more life experience than me? Quick, give your grandson an idea on how to make Angelina open the door."

"What did you do wrong?" Grand Old Master Ares asked.

Jay gave it a thought and said dubiously, "I went to Fragrant Vessel Court, and when I returned, Angeline shut me out."

Grand Old Master Ares was stunned.

Was Angeline making a fuss over nothing?

However, Grand Old Master Ares still tried his best to b

e on Angeline's side.

"JJ, you're constantly running off to Fragrant Vessel Court whenever you have the time. Plus, every time you go over there, you'd stay for quite some time. Angeline probably thinks that you've abandoned her. You should stay home and keep her company tomorrow."

Jay looked slightly confused. Did he stay too long at Fragrant Vessel Court earlier?

Grand Old Master Ares felt somewhat distressed when he saw Jay in a trance. Jay had been through so much already.

His exhaustion was written all over his face. The occasional dull look in his eyes was akin to a stab in the grand old master's heart.

Grand Old Master Ares shouted toward Angeline, who was in the house, "Angeline, I'll be taking your Jaybie home with me for now. I'll give him a lesson in your stead tonight."

Angeline's furious voice was heard. "Make him write a letter confessing his wrongdoings to me. It should be at least 1,000 words. Otherwise, he shouldn't ever dream of setting foot in this house again."

Chapter 1757

Chapter 1757

Grand Old Master Ares could not help but chuckle. "JJ, you've truly outdone yourself in loving this girl. She wants a whole essay, 1,000 words too! But seeing how you're talented with words, I don't see it being challenging for you. I think she's finding a way to get you out of this situation."

Grand Old Master Ares then took Jay to the backyard.

Jay sat on the sofa, looking depressed and pensive.

Every time he went over to Fragrant Vessel Court, he was obviously determined to quickly return home. However, why did he always stay there for a long time for no good reason?

Perhaps Angeline had not been doing very well these few days and was getting rather lonely. Was that the reason she wanted to adopt that stray rabbit?

Grand Old Master Ares ordered his servants, "Prepare a calligraphy set for Young Master Jay."

The servant quickly brought a calligraphy pen, ink, and paper over.

Jay looked at the grand old master speechlessly. "Isn't a ballpoint pen enough?"

He wanted to quickly get it over with so that he could beg Angeline for forgiveness.

Although doing calligraphy writing would make him appear more sincere, it would take too long for him to write it.

"JJ, you have to pay attention to details if you want to coax a woman. Let her see your sincerity, and once the anger in her heart dissipates, your life will get easier as well."

Jay picked up the pen and began to write eloquently.

Once he was done, Jay stood up. "I'm heading back."

Grand Old Master Ares pulled him back. "JJ, Angelina's still angry. It would be best if you let her calm down for a bit. You can stay at Grandpa's tonight."

Jay smiled and said, "The girl has a soft spot. She'll open the door once I coax her."

Seeing how stubborn he was, Grand Old Master Ares gave him another idea. "If you want to go in, just try gaining for sympathy and slither your way in." Jay then hurriedly left the scene.

Once he went back to the front yard of Chateau de Selene, he knocked on the door again. Angeline walked toward the door and asked, "Have you written your letter of confession?"

Jay shoved the letter through the crack below the door. "It's done."

Angeline was startled. This guy had gone back and forth. Did he finish writing a 1,000-word essay of confession in such a short time?

Angeline read through the whole letter. It was filled with gorgeous rhetorics and touching vows. However, it did not contain his confession about his wrongdoings for getting close to Judy. "I won't open the door," Angeline said in a pique of rage.

"Angeline, Jaybie feels cold," Jay began to say sympathetically.

Angeline started feeling anxious. She remembered that Jay had just healed from his severe cold a couple of days ago. She was worried that his body would not be able to resist the cold. Angeline slowly opened the door, and Jay suddenly hugged her. He chirped, "My darling Angeline is the best. I knew you couldn't bear to let Jaybie out in the cold." Angeline was caught off guard.

Jay carried Angeline into the bedroom. When he came out of the bathroom, he found that Angeline had turned off the lights and was already asleep.

It was rare for the atmosphere to be so quiet.

Jay tried feeling the bed and lay in front of Angeline.

Angeline was sleeping far away from him.

She simply could not comprehend why Jay was so

friendly toward Judy.

Jay could only lean closer to her and extended his arms to hug her into his embrace. He softly asked," You should at least tell me why you're mad?"

Angeline got up, and her eyes shot out a glaring light amidst the dark night. "Don't you know what you did wrong?" Angeline was almost crying out of anger.

Chapter 1758

Chapter 1758

Jay could feel Angeline's emotional grief and quickly turned on the lights. He was out of his wits as he held Angeline's face. "Are you jealous of Judy, Angeline?" he asked.

Fortunately, Grandpa had mentioned it earlier so that he could slightly retrace the source of Angeline's fiery temper.

Since Judy was interested in him, Angeline would perhaps misunderstand if he stayed in Fragrant Vessel Court for too long.

"How could I not be jealous?" Angeline said, enraged.

Jay felt extremely wronged. "Angeline, do you have to be jealous of her? Aren't you well aware of where she's placed in my heart by now?"

Angeline pushed him away and said furiously, "I used to be well aware of how you treated her. But it seems like I've been out of the loop nowadays."

"Angeline, stop trying to stir up trouble unreasonably, okay? It's late now. Let's get some sleep," Jay said tiredly.

Angeline looked at Jay sorrowfully. After witnessing him and Judy being affectionate toward one another, he had the nerve to say that she was unreasonably trying to stir up trouble?

Her eyes reddened instantly, and tears began to flow out uncontrollably.

"You sleep then."

She jumped off the bed and walked toward the closet. Then, she started to pack her clothes away neatly.

"What are you doing?" Jay asked in surprise.

Today's matter seemed like a relatively minor issue to him, but Angeline was trying to blow it out of proportions, which made him feel like breaking down.

He had to get out of bed and place the clothes that Angeline took out one at a time. Then, he locked Angeline in his arms and gently wiped away her tears.

"Hey now, don't be angry. From now on, Jaybie won't step foot into Fragrant Vessel Court anymore, alright?" he said softly.

Angeline then took his words as an apology.

She infuriatingly said, "You only dare to bully me in this manner because I'm head over heels for you."

Jay was filled with laughter. He was unable to comprehend Angeline's words and actions today. However, he was used to spoiling her and obeying her, so he did not argue further.

He said in a low voice, "Don't keep trying to run away from home. You have to start considering Jaybie's age now. If you run away again, I'm afraid it'll be hard for

me to chase after you."

Although Angeline was feeling slightly stifled, she did not want to jabber on and on. After all, she very much cherished the time she and Jay spent together.

That night, the two did not have a very peaceful sleep.

The next day.

As soon as it was bright out, a servant was seen sneaking out of Chateau de Selene into Fragrant Vessel Court.

The servant went straight to Chloe's room. Judy and Sandra were both inside as well. Seeing the servant, Chloe put on a kind expression and asked, "What happened to Young Master Jay and Angeline last night?

The servant said, "Last night after Miss Severe witnessed the affectionate interaction between Young Master Jay and Miss Judy, she immediately threw a fit. She shut Young Master Jay outside the door and it even alarmed the grand old master. The young couple had a terrible quarrel last night, and Miss Severe almost ran away from home."

Chloe and Judy were delighted.

There were traces of hostility in Sandra's voice. "A loving couple like that still quarrels just like any ordinary couple. Hehe, Judy, you should wander around in front of Jay these few days. Ensure the rift between that husband and wife grows bigger and bigger."

Judy nodded obediently. "Yes."

Chloe looked at Sandra and was filled with praises for her. "Sandra, you truly are amazing. Your method of winning hearts instead of battles has truly surpassed my method of continuously slandering Angeline. Sandra said arrogantly, "I'm not good at many other things, Sis. But I'm quite knowledgeable when it comes to dealing with men. Otherwise, why would Spencer have spoiled me all these years?" "Aunt Sandra, what should I do next?" Judy asked excitedly.

"The couple is on bad terms lately. If everything goes according to plan, Jay will be coming over to Fragrant Vessel Court more often from now on. You should learn more of Angeline's words and actions as much as possible, then keep appearing in front of him." "Yes.

Chapter 1759

Chapter 1759

Chloe suddenly thought of an idea and said to the servant from Chateau de Selene, "Hurry back and tell J J that today is his brother, Ron's, death anniversary. Tell him that I miss his brother and is currently in a foul mood. He'll know to come and comfort me."

"Yes." The servant left shortly after.

Chateau de Selene.

When Jay woke up and found that Angeline had disappeared, he thought about Angelina's little spat with him last night. He got up in a panic and hurriedly went downstairs.

"Angeline." His voice was filled with anxiety.

The maid told him, "Young Master Jay, Madam has already had her breakfast and went to take the rabbit out for a walk outside."

Jay was stunned in place.

Did she not wait for him to have their breakfast together?

Angeline was clearly still angry with him.

Jay could no longer care about eating his breakfast and hurriedly went outside.

In the courtyard, Angeline kept herself busy by

feeding the rabbit some carrots. Although her expression appeared calm, she looked despondent.

Jay heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her. He walked over and hugged her thin waist while whispering, "Angeline, why didn't you wait for me for breakfast?"

Angeline was slightly startled. The soreness he had caused her was still lingering in her heart. After a pause, tears flickered in her eyes as she said in a low tone, "I didn't think you'd need my companionship." Jay suddenly went mad. "What nonsense are you sputtering?"

Angeline raised her gaze to look at him, her eyes appearing highly aggrieved.

He had obviously done something wrong. How could h e treat her as if nothing had happened?

Jay's pajamas were wrinkled up, and his hair was slightly in a mess. He had worriedly gone out to look for Angeline and did not expect his warm embrace to be snubbed instead.

He was feeling upset.

"Angeline, is this how a husband and wife should be living their days together?"

Seeing that he was not at all remorseful and was being harsh and unreasonable instead, she felt even more aggrieved.

"Why are you..." She was so enraged that she could no longer finish her sentence.

Teardrops as big as beans were continuously rolling down her cheeks instead.

Jay was very anxious to see her tear-stained face. He pulled Angeline into his arms and softened his tone. He coaxed her affectionately once more. "Alright, I get it now. Jaybie told you yesterday, didn't he? If you don't like me going to Fragrant Vessel Court, then I won't be going there anymore."

Angeline wiped off her tears as bitterness filled her heart. She knew that Jay's mistakes were irreversible now. She could either choose to forgive him and forget everything that had happened or decide to leave him.

This prolonged war was not a game that adults should be playing.

She gently pushed him away, and after careful consideration, she plucked up the courage to make a choice.

"I think we need to start talking about our future together."

Jay could see her distancing herself away from him through her words and actions. He grew both panicked and anxious.

"What on earth are you trying to do, Angeline?" he asked anxiously.

Angeline said, "My mind is very confused. I don't know if I'm making the right decision, but I know I

need a break from you."

Jay looked at her in horror. At this moment, he could feel his breathing turning uneven.

"I think we should be apart for a while and calm ourselves down. We should take a step back to evaluate our feelings better." After Angeline said these words, she was taken aback as well. Was she planning to push Jay toward Judy?

Jay loved Angeline so dearly. However, he was extremely uncomfortable with Angeline's habit of trying to run away from home and trying to break up with him at the slightest pretext.

He could feel his blood surging up.

"Are you trying to leave me?" Jay said in disbelief. Then, there was a hysterical roar. "Why are you trying to make such a big fuss out of a minor issue?"

Angeline cried out sorrowfully, "You were rubbing Judy's head so affectionately right in front of me, and you even held her hand! Why are you not taking this seriously? Fine, I'll find myself a random man tomorrow. I'll let him touch my head right in front of you, and I'll even hold his hand too... Let's see if you'll take it seriously if I do the same to you."

Angeline cried and ran away.

Jay's face turned ashen, and his stalwart body started trembling.

"Was I possessed? How could I have done such a wretched thing?"

Jay turned around to chase after Angeline.

Angeline returned to the house and went straight to the bedroom.

This time, she was determined to leave Jay.

She took out all of her daily necessities and threw them out as if she wanted to erase herself from Jay's

world completely.

When Jay ran up to the room and saw Angeline's struggle, he was frightened stiff.

"Angelina." He walked over and hugged Angeline tightly.

"Let me explain."

"I don't want to hear it. You're no longer the Jaybie I know. Your mother has utterly brainwashed you. Are you also thinking that since I've gotten sick, I can no longer compete with the young and beautiful Judy?" Angeline was so utterly flustered and exasperated that she started to shoot her mouth off.

Jay grabbed her hands and embraced her tightly in his arms. He was distressed as he said, "Angeline, calm down. Please listen to me."

"I don't harbor the slightest bit of feelings for Judy. In fact, I hate her very much. Ever since she selfishly handed you over to the military intelligence division's executioner in Mount Pearl, I've carved a deep hatred toward her. How could I have done those unfathomable actions to her?

"Did you perhaps hear a rumor or a gossip?"

Angeline looked at him in shock. Jay's upright appearance was making her feel slightly startled.

"I saw it with my own eyes!" she exclaimed exasperatedly.

"When? Where?" Jay felt like there was some sort of a misunderstanding.

Angelina angrily pushed him away. "Don't you remember the things that you did? Why are you trying to bluff your way out of it?"

"I really don't know what you're talking about," Jay said in frustration.

"Last night, you went to Fragrant Vessel Court for dinner, and she walked you home. When you arrived a t Chateau de Selene's entrance, the two of you were flirting right in front of me. I saw it myself. Are... Are you still trying to talk your own way out of it?" Angeline wailed, feeling brokenhearted.

Jay suddenly slumped onto the bed.

Then, he slapped himself in exasperation.

Angeline noticed that Jay's face had turned deadly white. His eyes looked pained and bewildered, and his expression seemed somewhat bleak. She suddenly felt something was amiss.

Jay's voice turned into a whisper as he said," Angeline, believe it or not, I thought she was you last night."

Angelina's eyes widened in horror...

The clothes in her hands fell to the ground.

Jay stood up and sauntered toward Angeline. "I thought that you came by Fragrant Vessel Court to pick me up. Can you forgive me, Angeline? Please?"

Angeline nodded in a daze.

She was able to forgive Jay for it because she trusted him. Jay had loved Angeline for so many years now, even when she was suffering from depression. Since Jay was able to go through everything with her, Angeline believed that Jay's feelings for her were profound.

As for Jay's actions toward Judy yesterday, Angeline was utterly perplexed over the matter. However, Jay was perhaps even more bewildered than her.

Angeline said in a pique, "The mistake you've made is truly not something that should be forgiven just by saying a couple of words. But on account of all the things we've been through just to be together again, we should be cherishing this win that we've obtained after many difficulties. I don't wish for us to end up in a situation where we're only able to share adversities yet none of the happy occasions."
