Chapter 1801

Only then did Jay know that Angeline had woken up. He was very surprised and immediately took Angeline over from Jens.

Angeline nestled her head limply on his shoulder.

Jay was moved and said, "Angeline, I'm fine."

After giving Jenson a sideways glance, Jay left in a hurry with Angeline.

Jenson walked into Fragrant Vessel Court. When he saw Chloe, Sandra, and Judy lying in a pool of blood and trying to catch their breaths, he said indifferently, "It seems that I arrived a little too early." They thought that they would be liberated with Jay gone. However, when they heard Jenson's cold and merciless words, their hearts fell into despair once again.

Jenson was clear-headed and more ruthless than Jay. How would he let them off so easily?

Jenson thought about it for a moment and said, "Lock them up. Get a doctor to attend to their injuries."

Everyone was surprised and heaved sighs of relief.

Jenson continued, "If they die, they can no longer serve as Daddy's punching bags."

Everyone present shared the same thought: 'Jenson is truly the devil'. Although he could foresee Chloe and Sandra's tragic endings, Grand Old Master Yorks was relieved that they were out of danger for the time being.

Jenson walked away.

Grayson ordered several Ghost members, "From today onward, watch over them 24/7. Make sure that they don't escape."

"Got it!"

Grand Old Master Ares sighed and reluctantly said to Chloe, "Chloe, now the only person who can remove Jay's grievances is Angeline. But Angeline is suffering from recurring somatization disorder because she was too worried about Jay's life. At the end of the day, you asked for it."

Chloe broke into tears.

Jay brought Angeline to Carefree Garden.

When Boye saw them, she was so angry that she started cursing at them, "Look at you two! You both have yet to recover but you're already running around. JJ, Grandma asked you to manage your emotions well and avoid big emotions. Is this how you're keeping your emotions under control?"

Jay hugged Angeline and sat on the sofa. He looked straight at Boye and said snarkily, "I'm not overjoyed nor depressed."

Boye was not someone to be trifled with. She said angrily, "Yes, you're not overjoyed nor depressed, but you're burning with rage!"

Jay remained silent and did not speak.

Angeline asked weakly, "Jaybie, has your poisoning been treated?"

Jay looked at Angeline and answered softly," Grandma Boye removed the toxins from my body. I'm all good now."

Boye uncovered his lie. "Do you think that I'm God? The toxins in your body can be removed quickly, but do you think that your organ failure will be resolved in two or three days?"

Angeline went crazy when she heard the words 'organ failure'. She wept and screamed, "I'm going to kill them...I'm going to kill them..."

Jay hugged Angeline tightly, his eyes filling with tears instantly.

When Chloe hurt Angeline before this, Angeline was not as resentful toward her. However, when Chloe hurt Jay, Angeline refused to stand back.

Jay knew that Angeline always put him first.

Boye calmed down and said, "Okay, okay. Angeline, don't be sad. With me around, Jaybie can be brought back to life even if he's already lying in a coffin. Not to mention, he only suffered mild organ failure. It's alright now. All indicators are back to normal."

Jay said, "Angelina, you have to focus on feeling better. When you get better, you can do whatever you want. This time, I promise I won't stop you."

Three days later, Angeline moved as freely as an ordinary person. Maybe it was because she was very happy after hearing that Jay had recovered. It could also be because of Grandma Boye's medical skills. Jay was not at home that day. He went to Grand Asia Hospital to get Angeline some special medicine as per Grandma Boye's instructions.

Chapter 1802

Chapter 1802

When Angeline, Grandma Boye, and Grandpa were dining together, Grandpa and Grandma Boye were teasing Jay.

"Angeline, when you were ill, Jay couldn't eat or sleep for days. He became taciturn and quiet and was particularly boring," said Grandpa.

"He was more than boring. He was like a walking dead puppy that didn't speak or laugh. Whenever he approached, we could feel the air around him drop several degrees colder," Grandma Boye added, "Plus, h e argued with Chloe to such an extent that he was so upset we couldn't blame him for having social anxiety."

Angeline was utterly shocked that she dropped the utensils in her hand. "What? His social anxiety is back?"

When Jay was a child, he was known to be on the autistic spectrum.

When relatives or friends chatted happily in front of him, he would stick to doing his own thing as if he was living in his own world.

Fortunately, Boye was a doctor who could deal with these matters efficiently. "Angeline, the thing with

your Jaybie happened not too long ago. If you can find a way to get him out of his own world, his illness can be cured without any medication." Angeline nodded. "As long as Jaybie is well, I'm willing to do anything."

Then, Angeline changed into a timeless lace chiffon blouse and a high-waisted mini-skirt. She also put on a pair of high heels and set off.

When she arrived at Grand Asia, she found Jay waiting by the pharmacy's hall. He was sitting on the chair in the front row, swiping on his phone.

Angeline sneaked over and stood beside him, glancing at his phone screen in secret. It turned out that he was currently flipping through her photos. It seemed that he had stored many pictures of her in his phone, all the way from her childhood. He seemed to be endlessly scrolling.

She was shocked by this talent of his because she had lost most of her childhood photos.

When she realized that he might not have sensed her existence, she gently touched his arm. Unexpectedly, h e merely scooted to the side without looking up at her.

Angeline felt helpless and extended out her foot again to touch him. However, he merely retracted his foot defensively.

Angeline sighed. Did this guy always have such a temper when he was outside?

Ultimately, she chose to be rough with him.

She jumped straight onto his back and held his neck with both arms...

Then, a tragedy struck and Jay threw her to the ground.

Angeline's bottom hit the floor, and she exclaimed in pain, "Ack! That hurts! You threw me off, Jaybie...."

Jay finally recognized Angeline and was dumbstruck.

He immediately pulled Angeline up and embraced her in his arms. He said with distress, "Why are you here, baby?"

"I miss you already."

Jay checked her arms and legs. "Are you injured anywhere? Do you want to show me?"

"My butt."

Jay,"..."

Angeline smiled childishly at him. "Well, aren't you going to check?"

Jay sat back down with a darkened expression.

Angeline watched him fall into silence once more. Remembering Grandma Boye's warning, she tried her best to tease him into talking.

She hummed and danced in front of him. The song she was humming was Red Spider Lily, and her slender arms gracefully flew up as she danced.

Jay glared at her, then looked around and saw that everyone was now looking at his wife. He suddenly felt insecure and pulled Angeline into his arms. He said, "Dance for me at home." Angeline then smiled at him like a blooming flower.

Chapter 1803

Chapter 1803

Soon, the pharmacist carried a bag of medicinal herbs over and walked up to Jay before respectfully saying," Mr. Ares, these are the herbs that you asked for." "Thank you."

Jay took it and walked outside while holding Angeline's hand.

"Jaybie, where are we going now?" Angeline was deliberately looking for things to do and say.

"Home."

"I don't want to go home."

Jay stared at her. "Then, where do you want to go?"

"Let's head to a bar. I'm so old now yet I've never stepped foot inside," Angeline said as she smiled.

Ja stopped walking and looked straight at Angeline. He had the feeling that the girl was trying to get on his nerves today.

However, looking at her current attire-the lace chiffon blouse and high-waisted mini skirt-it seemed like she was all ready to go to the bar. If he rejected her, she would probably feel disappointed, right? "Okay," he responded.

Angeline was extremely taken aback. If she had made such a request in the past, he would have severely reprimanded her to death.

Furthermore, she was wearing a mini-skirt todaysomething he would have never allowed in the past. Now, there was not a single reaction from him even though he had already noticed the skirt. Angeline felt a little confused.

Had he stopped caring about her?

"Jaybie, does my mini-skirt look good?" Angeline asked deliberately.

Jay gave it a thought. He hated it when Angeline wore such a skirt, but if she liked it, he would only make her unhappy if he forcibly stopped her from wearing such clothes.

Her body was so fragile, and he honestly had no courage to make her spirits low anymore.

"You can wear it if you like it," he muttered against his will.

Angeline secretly pouted and slandered him in her heart, 'When did he become so open-minded?'

"Then, I think I'll take a centimeter off the skirt. It seems a bit too long." She deliberately provoked his patience.

Jay looked at her in a daze...

'Endure it!'

Once the car arrived at the bar, Angeline stood by the door and looked inside at the empty bar. She was dumbfounded.

"Why is there no one here?"

Jay cast a relieved expression to the owner of the bar. After realizing something else, he deleted the text message on his phone of him notifying the bar's owner to clear the scene.

At this moment, the bar's owner walked over and greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Ares, please come in."

Jay took out a black card and handed it to the boss. However, he was stopped by Angeline. "Let's go home. It's not that fun here."

The corners of Jay's lips curved into an invisible smile. "Since we're already here, why not stick around for a bit and then leave?" Angeline replied, "It's not fun here."

Jay pretended to compromise. "Alright. Then, let's go home."

On the way home, Angeline gazed at Jay gloomily.

There was a sense of loss in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Jay asked curiously when he noticed the lady having an emotional breakdown.

Was he not being very accommodating to her today?

"You don't love me anymore," said Angeline.

Jay slammed on the brakes, stopping the car on the side of the road. He fixed his gaze on Angeline. "How on earth did you come to such a conclusion?" Angeline said, "You didn't allow me to wear miniskirts before, but now you don't seem to care anymore."

Jay,"..."

"You obviously already know that I don't like it when you wear mini-skirts. And I don't like you going to bars. So why are you still doing it?" Jay asked helplessly. Angeline, "..."

Chapter 1804

Chapter 1804

"Why are you deliberately trying to anger me today?" Jay asked.

"I wasn't planning on making you angry. It's just that H

"Just what?" Jay asked again.

"I just wanted you to reprimand me," Angeline whispered.

Jay was dumbfounded...

His handsome face looked amused, and he reached his hand out to rub her hair. He said, "What's going on in that head of yours? Are you delighted when Jaybie scolds you?"

"Of course, I'm not. But Grandma said that you've become autistic again. So I have to find ways to make you talk more, right?" Angeline came clean.

Jay,

"Are the two of you a couple of three-year-olds? How did you even come up with such a childish idea?"

Angeline retorted, "Then, tell me why don't you care anymore even though I'm wearing a mini-skirt? Is it because you've stopped caring about me?"

Jay explained, "Au contraire, I care too much about

your feelings. That's why I didn't want to stop you."

Afterward, Jay knocked on her forehead and said, "You're not allowed to wear mini-skirts in the future. And let's see what happens when you step foot into a bar again, hmm?" Angelina started giggling her heart out.

When Jay and Angelina returned to Carefree Garden, a s soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Boye and Grandpa cuddling and looking at the splendidly blooming Saraca dives Pierre. The image of them looked calm and peaceful.

Angelina proceeded to clear her throat. "Ahem!"

Boye and Grandpa immediately let go of each other. A shy maiden-like expression appeared on Boye's face.

"You guys are back?"

Boye secretly looked at Jay's handsome face but found that he was still as sullen and cold as before.

She shook her head helplessly. "Did you get all the herbs, Jay?"

Jay handed her the medicinal ingredients with a gloomy face.

Boye looked at Jay and tried to find a topic. "Are the herbs fresh?"

Jay could feel that she was deliberately making things difficult for him. He had personally gone out to look for these herbs. How much fresher could they get?

Did she really think he was autistic?

He stuffed the herbs into Boye's arms and turned around to head upstairs.

Boye was overwhelmed with worries. "This child. He won't die if he speaks. His autism is truly getting more and more severe."

Angeline truly regarded Grandma Boye as a genius doctor, hence she would believe her diagnosis. When she said that Jaybie's autism was getting more severe, Angeline became flustered.

"Then what should I do?"

"Work harder," said Boye.

Angeline hurriedly chased after Jay.

Upstairs, Jay had taken off his jacket and was sitting on the bed in a daze in his white T-shirt.

Angeline gently opened the door and looked at Jay carefully.

Jay was frowning slightly, and his eyes were filled with a touch of sorrow.

Angeline walked over and sat beside him silently. She pulled his hand over and held it in the palm of her hand.

Jay turned his head to look at Angeline and said in a nearly pleading voice, "Give me a hug, Angeline."

Angeline placed her head on his shoulder and calmly said, "Jaybie, did you make things difficult for your mother when you went to Fragrant Vessel Court yesterday?"

Jay said, "She deserved it."

Angeline said, "I know that you must be very angry with Mom, and so am 1.1 heard that she almost caused your organs to shut down. I ought to rip her to shreds one of these days."

Jay quietly listened to Angeline's healing voice. Only in front of Angeline could his heart become calm as if he had gotten redemption.

Angeline turned the topic around, saying, "But, she is your mother, after all. If you actually kill her, it's just because you hope that no one will oppose me in the future and my life will be smooth-sailing, right?" Jay nodded. "Yeah."

Angeline smiled lightly. "I already know how good your intentions are. But do you know that it's exactly because you want to make it right for me that I can't allow you to make such a mistake? If you kill her, you'll carry the title of being a matricide. For such a righteous person like yourself, I'm afraid of you living in guilt and self-blame for the rest of your life..."

Chapter 1805

Chapter 1805

"Jaybie, it'll be difficult for me to forgive her, but I have no other option but to be lenient for you and the kids. After all, we're responsible for practicing the past generation's righteous and gentle ways. Moreover, a family like the Areses who lives under the public's eyes will not tolerate even the slightest flaw."

Jay sat up straight and said in a deadpan manner, "I can do it without leaving a trace. I'll not bring shame to the Ares family's name."

Angeline touched his face. "I don't want you to live in regret. And I don't wish to sow seeds of hatred in our children's minds."

Jay saw the worried look on her face, and he hugged her tightly in his arms.

"The thing I regret the most in this lifetime is to have taught you to behave so well. If only you're able to be more selfish or cruel, or perhaps love me a little less, you'll not have suffered so many grievances." Angeline smiled and said, "Actually, meeting you is the luckiest thing that has ever happened to me in my life."

After careful consideration, Jay gave up on the idea of killing Chloe since Angeline did not want him to be a

morally tainted person.

However, Jay could not tolerate Chloe repetitively causing Angeline harm, so he had decided to drive Chloe out of Imperial Capital.

As for Sandra and Judy, they would not be fortunate enough to have such an opportunity.

The next day, Jay bade farewell to Angeline and prepared to secretly head to Tourmaline Estate to settle Chloe, Sandra, and Judy's issues alone.

Unexpectedly, Angeline, the pure-hearted woman, started attaching herself to Jay. She acted coquettishly to him, saying, "I want to come with you, Jaybie."

Jay said, "Rest assured, I won't kill them."

Angeline understood his cunningness well. If he said that he would not kill them, then he certainly would not. However, he would use other methods to make them experience life worse than death. "I don't want to be separated from you." Angeline stuck to him like an octopus and would not let him go.

Jay looked at Angeline, somewhat unable to comprehend her thoughts. Even after suffering so much damage and so many grievances, how could she still maintain such pure and innocent kindness? "Okay." He finally nodded.

As such, he brought Angeline back to Tourmaline Estate. The first thing he did was not head to Fragrant Vessel Court to attack Chloe. Instead, he returned to Chateau de Selene to meet up with Grand Old Master Ares.

Grand Old Master Ares looked at the young pair. Jay was coldly placing his hands into his pockets with a deadpan face, staying silent. Meanwhile, Angeline was holding his arms, smiling brighter than a mountain flower.

"We're back, Grandpa."

Grand Old Master Ares said, "You're right on time. Come here and have a chat with me."

Angeline dragged Jay over and sat in front of the grand old master.

Jay suddenly turned to face Angeline and said to her, " Angeline, why don't you go look for Josie and Zayne? I'd like to have a few words with Grandpa alone."

Angeline suddenly remembered that her pet rabbit was still with Josie and Zayne. Thinking that she should be taking her home and raising her there, she nodded obediently to him. "Okay." She then got up and left.

Grand Old Master Ares sensed the foul air surrounding Jay and asked earnestly, "What is it? Still not over despising your mother?"

Jay said bitterly, "Can I ever stop hating her? If it weren't for her, Angeline wouldn't have had abrupt somatization disorder. Whenever I think about how Angeline crawled back to Cloud City to seek medical treatment for me, the ache I feel in my heart is unbearable."

Grand Old Master Ares was utterly baffled from hearing his words.

"So that's what happened."

The doubts in his heart were solved. The reason for Jay's recovery turned out to be because Angeline had gone thousands of miles away to find a famous doctor to treat him.

Grand Old Master Ares felt a stifling sensation in his heart. He was choked up when he said, "Angeline is so good to you, so you have to cherish that girl. As for your mother, that woman is indeed trouble. With her around, the Ares family will never be at peace. But, Jay, she can die in anyone's hands except yours."

Jay controlled his grief and replied, "Don't worry. Angeline has already persuaded me about it. I won't kill her."

Grand Old Master Ares was dumbstruck once more.

Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Chapter 1806

Chapter 1806

"Then, how are you planning on punishing her?" Grand Old Master Ares asked.

Jay's gorgeous face showed a cruel expression. "We'll have to exterminate the weed from its root."

Grand Old Master Ares implied meaningfully, "Back then when your mother murdered your grandma, I was just like you. I wanted to choke her to death with all the rage I felt. But ultimately, I took your father into consideration and spared her life, locking her up in the underground palace instead..."

Grand Old Master Ares said this in hopes that Jay would follow his approach and allow a path for Chloe to survive. At the same time, he would still leave some hope for those around her. Grand Old Master Yorks would still be able to see his daughter, and perhaps he would not be too grief-stricken.

Jay shook his head. "Tourmaline Estate was built by Angelina, so this should be a clean and pure paradise for us."

Grand Old Master Ares smiled and asked, "Then, what do you plan on doing?"

Jay said, "She'll be banned from Imperial Capital, and we'll never again see each other."

Grand Old Master Ares said nothing else in return.

Since Jay was so decisive, he was afraid no one else could talk him out of it.

In Josie's Flying Moon Cottage.

When Angeline came to Flying Moon Cottage, Zayne and Josie's pupils dilated in shock when they saw her.

"Sis Angeline, you're back?" Josie greeted her ecstatically.

Angeline stood at the door and said with a smile," Josie, Zayne, where's my darling Jacaranda?"

"Jacaranda? Jacaranda, who?" Zayne had long forgotten that the pet rabbit's name was Jacaranda.

Angeline explained further, "My daughter? The one I adopted? I'm back now, so I'll be taking her home and raising her there."

Zayne finally realized that Angeline was here to ask about her pet rabbit.

However, the pet rabbit had been served as a meal to Josie quite some time ago. i

Zayne deliberately pretended to be confused. "You've picked up so many daughters. How do I know which one's Jacaranda?" With her hands on her hips, Angeline roared at him." My rabbit! I'm talking about my pet rabbit. Hurry up and bring her out for me."

Josie looked puzzled as well. "That's right. I haven't seen Jac for several days now! Where did Jac go?"

Zayne smiled wryly. "She's in your stomach."

Angeline instantly burst into tears. "Ack! You're so cruel! That's my baby. How could you have the heart to eat her?"

Zayne hurriedly coaxed her, saying, "Don't cry, Angel. Doesn't your rabbit have a miraculous fetal protection effect when consumed? If you're allowed to eat it, why can't Josie? Big Brother will buy you another one some other time, okay?"

"Fetal protection? She's just an ordinary rabbit. What kind of fetus protection could she possibly give you? If you want to eat rabbit meat, go and buy some at the rabbit farm. Why did you eat my Jac?"

Zayne now knew that he had been fooled by Jay and stomped his feet in anger. "Damn it! Master Ares was the one who told me that he bought the rabbit for you to protect your baby. I thought that since you weren't pregnant yet, I should give it to Josie just in case..."

Angeline stared at him with widened pupils. "Jaybie told you that my rabbit was bought?"

"Yes. He even said it was rare and priceless!" Zayne exclaimed in honesty.

Angeline retorted, "I picked up the rabbit from the garden."

"Then, why did he deceive me?"

Josie said, "Because he wanted someone else to do the dirty work."

Chapter 1807

Chapter 1807

Angeline was stifled with anger. "He's getting more and more unreasonable now. He can't even tolerate a rabbit?"

Afterward, she glared fiercely at Zayne once more before scoffing angrily. She then turned around and left.

Zayne fell to the ground. "It's over. I've offended Angeline. She's not in good health at the moment. Will she fall ill from anger?"

Josie quickly gave him an idea. "Quick, call Big Brother now. He'll find ways to calm Angeline down."

Zayne hurriedly took his phone out and called Jay.

"Hello," Jay said once the call was connected.

Zayne quickly explained, "Where are you, Big Brother? Get home quickly and see how Angeline's doing. That girl was crying aggrievedly earlier, and I'm afraid that her old illness will strike again. I can only ask you for help."

Jay retorted with a cold voice, "You made her cry?"

Zayne replied, slightly lacking confidence, "You can't pin all of this on me. You're slightly responsible for this as well for fooling me. Josie ate your rabbit daughter, and when Angeline came here looking for it, I couldn't pass it to her so she ran away crying."

Jay's face appeared petrified.

He had not expected Angeline to be so attached to that pet rabbit. So many days had passed but she was still thinking about it.

Zayne mockingly continued, "You perfectly let someone else do the dirty work for you. Now, you'll have to clean up the mess on your own. If my sister gets sick, it'll be all on you anyway."

Jay angrily rebuked, "You're the one with zero response capabilities during emergencies. Why are you trying to shirk away from your responsibilities after acting as stupid as a pig?"

After he said these words, Jay bade farewell to his grandpa and hurried over to Chateau de Selene's front yard.

Zayne was yelling on the phone, "Then tell me what could've been done during such an emergency? Was I supposed to make Josie spit out the rabbit she had eaten?"

Jay roared back, "Rubbish!" Then, he hung up the phone angrily.

When he returned to Chateau de Selene, he could hear Angeline crying aggrievedly as soon as he entered the house.

Jay ran over to the bedroom and knocked on the door to find that Angeline had locked it.

"Open the door, Angeline." Jay coaxed. "If you like rabbits, Jaybie will buy them for you. You can have as many as you want!"

Angeline opened the door furiously and yelled at him," I don't want new rabbits! I want my Jac!"

Jay replied, "Alright, alright. Sure thing. I'll give you your Jac."

Angeline looked at him, confused. "How are you going to give me back my Jac?"

Jay said, "Give me a moment."

Jay turned and walked out of the room.

Not long after, a giant rabbit showed up at the door. Jay squatted at the door wearing a furry rabbit suit with its two big ears fully erected.

"Do you think I'm cute, Master?"

Angeline looked at Jay, caught in between laughter and tears.

In her memories, Jay had been willing to put aside his grandeur and cold self to play with her ever since he was 18 years old.

She was a crybaby at the time. She would cry for hours when a minor detail did not go her way. Zayne had always felt utterly helpless about her little habit and would constantly turn a blind eye to her. It was because their parents would reprimand him if he was fine when Angeline was not, so he would make

himself appear more miserable than her.

Meanwhile, Jay would do his best to make her happy.

Angeline walked up to Jay, pinched his two big ears, and asked, "Jac was just a pet rabbit. Why couldn't you tolerate her?"

Jay sat on the ground and pulled Angeline into his arms. He said gently, "I was jealous of her. I got envious. Ever since you got her, you spent more time with her than me." 1

Chapter 1808

Chapter 1808

Angeline was dumbstruck.

By the time Josie and Zayne arrived at Chateau de Selene, Jay and Angeline had reconciled.

The two were sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking their cups of tea and chatting happily.

Zayne looked at their peaceful appearance and patted his violently beating heart. "F*ck, I thought the two of you were going to have a big go at it. I rushed over here to persuade you guys to stop fighting. Who would've thought you'd flash me with public displays of affection instead?"

Jay rolled his eyes at him. "The act of quarreling with one's wife is a foolish thing done by men with low IQ."

Zayne felt degraded but did not get angry at his words. He merely sat on the sofa next to them and languidly laid back. "So, Master Ares, what'd you do to resolve the crisis this time?"

Jay did not reply to him.

The act of dressing up and pretending to be a rabbit was something he must never speak of.

"I can tell from the way you look that you must have done something atrocious and stupid," said Zayne.

Jay,

Angeline domineeringly protected her husband. "You ate my rabbit. Give me back my rabbit."

Zayne glanced at Jay, harboring unfathomable motives. He then said with a smile, "I'll buy you dozens of small Jacarandas, okay?"

Jay's sharp eyes immediately shifted to Zayne. It was a s if a pair of fire-breathing dragons were about to burn Zayne to ashes.

Zayne raised his head up as if he was not afraid of death and said to Jay in a whisper, "You're allowed to set me up but I'm not allowed to retaliate?"

Angeline said sulkily, "No need. I'm not keeping any more pets."

Zayne was dumbfounded. "How come?"

It was not easy for him to find an opportunity to dig a pit for Master Ares to fall in. Zayne felt somewhat disappointed that his plan failed.

Josie giggled and said, "My brother must've taken drastic measures so that pets can no longer compete a s his rivals."

Zayne gave Jay a thumbs up. "Awesome."

Angeline retorted with insinuation and sarcasm, "If I kept so many rabbits, I'm afraid they won't all fit in your stomach." Zayne,

If one had done something wrong, they should act more like Jay. The method of silence was obviously gold here.

Since Zayne was itching to court disaster, he was ultimately left choked up and speechless because of Angeline. Finally, Jay showed him a victorious smile.

Zayne's face was filled with defeat.

At this moment, Zayne finally understood why even though Jay hated that pet rabbit very much, he chose not to dirty his hands and deliberately plotted something so that Zayne would get rid of the rabbit for him.

It was because in this manner, Zayne would be the one to bear Angelina's resentment instead.

Zayne was utterly exasperated.

Josie quickly tried to shift Angelina's attention.

Stroking her obviously pregnant belly, she asked, "Sis Angeline, I'm three months pregnant now. Will it be possible to have a B-scan to check the sex of the child now?"

It was as if Angeline had forgotten about Jac's tragic demise as she quickly shifted her attention to Josie's belly. Her motherly love was radiating as she said gently, "Josie, regardless of the child's gender, the Severe family will still be delighted and look forward to meeting this child. So there's no need to pay much

attention to its gender."

Josie said, "I don't care about the child's gender either. But I merely think that if I know the baby's sex in advance, I can prepare suitable clothes for it."

Angeline said, "You don't have to be too particular with children's clothes. But they look good in pink clothing. My Baby Robbie was brought up as a girl when he was younger."

Chapter 1809

Chapter 1809

"What?" Zayne and Jay looked at Angeline in bewilderment. Angelina's alternative methods of parenting were baffling for them. "Why?" Jay asked with a solemn face.

He could not comprehend Angeline's strange thinking of bringing up his son as a girl.

Angelina said with much confidence, "It makes shopping for the twins more convenient."

Jay no longer had any objections since he was the one who had failed to take up the responsibilities as a husband in the beginning.

In the ensuing time, the Severe brother and sister as well as Josie had a lively chat together. However, Jay had fallen into a long silence all alone because of his worries.

Angelina had secretly glanced at him several times now. Seeing the faint sorrow in Jay's eyes, Angelina knew that he was unable to let go of the harm that Chloe had carved into him.

Such an unforgettable wound would only grow deeper over time.

Angelina could not let Jay live in this depressive state for the rest of his life.

Suddenly, Angeline stood up and announced, "I have some happy news to announce to you guys."

Zayne and Josie looked at her, somewhat lacking in enthusiasm. "What other happy news can you possibly have for us?" In their opinion, since Angeline had gotten married and even had children before, there was not much else.

Angeline said, "I'm getting married."

Even Jay was dumbstruck by this news of hers.

Zayne and Josie were also petrified.

"Married? Your children are soon to be adults. What marriage are you sputtering on about?" Zayne said.

Angeline looked slightly at a loss. "I'm so old now but no one has proposed to me before. I've never gotten my marriage certificate with my spouse, nor have I experienced a wedding..."

Angeline was telling facts. The process of getting married was done with her other identity when she was still Rose.

Josie could particularly understand Angelina's feelings and sympathized with her. "You're right. In my eyes, Sis Angeline is currently still an unmarried lady. The image in my mind when it comes to the woman who married my brother and had children with him is Miss Rose Loyle."

Zayne smirked. He was unafraid of the consequences and said, "Well, since you're still an unmarried lady,

who are you going to get married to now?"

Jay's handsome face went dark. His eyes were fiercely cast at Zayne. Who else would be allowed to marry Angeline except for him?

Zayne looked at Jay and said, "What are you looking a t? My sister wants to get married, and she doesn't have to marry you. As the bride's family member, I'm obligated to look for a reliable husband for her." Then, as if he was taunting death, he added, "Whoever that presents us the highest amount of dowry will be given my sister's hand in marriage."

Josie smiled and said, "Then, rest assured, my big brother will surely give the biggest dowry among all the suitors. Because only my brother is willing to give Sis Angeline everything he has."

Zayne stood up and said with a wicked smile, "That's not necessarily the case. If I spread the news, I'd probably attract another rich potential brother-in-law. Perhaps someone like Cole? I heard his family's mountain of gold and silver can't be used up."

Then, he wickedly looked at Jay and provocatively said, "Master Ares, didn't you constantly threaten me s o menacingly in the past? You never thought this day would come when the odds will be against you, huh? How about you call me 'Big Brother' in the future and I'll not make things difficult for you, hmm?"

He initially thought that he could take advantage of this opportunity to threaten Jay. However, he never expected that Jay's averting attributes had been polished to perfection by now.

Jay haughtily said, "Your brother-in-law is getting married soon, so I wonder how much monetary gift you're willing to splurge?"

Zayne abruptly looked at Josie. "F*ck. There's this loophole?"

Josie nodded. "Since Big Brother is getting married, as a younger sister, I have to be generous with my gift. Otherwise, it'd be shameful and embarrassing after you've raised me for so many years, Big Brother."

What was even more tragic was that Angeline was also domineeringly protecting her husband as well. She said, "Big Brother, I'm getting married soon. Will you prepare lots and lots of gifts for me to celebrate my new marriage?"

Zayne collapsed onto the sofa and said weakly, "Fine. I'll send you gifts but not lots of them. Alright, Master Ares, you can marry her if you want to. I don't need this thankless ingrate in the family anyway. Just make sure you don't return her in the future."

Jay embraced his baby Angeline in his arms. "Return her? That's impossible."

Angeline then smiled like a blooming flower.

Chapter 1810

Jay was a little curious, so he asked Angeline, "Why do you suddenly want to get married?"

Angeline looked at Jay's haggard face and thought of Grandma Boye's words which stated how Jay's life felt abruptly shortened. Her heart overflowed with bitterness as she smiled and said, "Life's short, so I want to fulfill all of your wishes in this lifetime. Also, I don't want to let myself down."

Angeline also hoped that this wedding could divert all of Jay's worries.

Jay pinched her face and nodded with a smile.

Zayne and Josie were planning the wedding together, stating, "Since you want to get proposed to, why not do it in Century Square? There are a lot of people there. Master Ares has to kneel and propose to Angeline so that everyone in Imperial Capital will know he married her out of love. From then on, others who harbor feelings for either one of them will probably give up."

Angeline thought of the scene where many people would watch as she got proposed to, and a red blush appeared on her cheeks.

"Forget it. That's too much. Just buy me a diamond

ring in private, and a symbolic proposal will be enough," said Angeline.

"Then, how big of a diamond do you want on your ring?" Jay asked.

Zayne immediately exclaimed, "Need you ask? Isn't it the bigger, the better?"

Jay glared at him. "How tacky."

Angeline said, "1,2,3,4! Just pick the carat according to these numbers."

Jay frowned. "That's common."

Angeline was dumbfounded. "How is it common?"

Jay blurted out, "How about 4,2,2,1?"

Angeline smirked and nodded heavily. "Okay."

Zayne's eyes protruded. "F*ck, how heavy will the ring be?"

Josie said, "Stupid. Sis Angeline obviously meant 4.221 carats."

Zayne appeared distressed. "That's too cheap."

Josie stomped her foot on the back of Zayne's foot, making him scream in pain. "My brother's money is Sis Angeline's money anyway. You can't eat or drink a diamond ring, so why waste money on it?"

Zayne muttered, "It makes a difference. Cash and real estate are to be divided into half during the divorce. But the diamond ring will belong to my sister. Master

Ares wouldn't have the nerve to ask for his half, right?"

As soon as his voice fell, he could see Jay and Angeline staring at him bitterly.

"I'll never divorce Angeline," Jay sounded determined.

Zayne patted his mouth and said with a guilty conscience, "I'm taking back my words."

Angeline held Jay's hand and said softly, "Jaybie, why don't you ask Grandpa to choose a day for us? We'll head down to the town hall and get our marriage license together." Jay nodded with joy. "Okay."

One's spirits would get lifted whenever there was a happy occasion!

Due to this wedding, Jay went from his initial depressive state to extraordinarily energetic.

He was occupied with preparing for the proposal and seemed to have forgotten about his little revenge plan for Chloe.

As for Angeline, she took advantage of his busy schedule and secretly went to Fragrant Vessel Court.

"Young Madam is here." When the servant relayed this shocking news to the others, all the people in the Yorks household were overjoyed.

Grand Old Master Yorks had been counting on Angeline to rescue Chloe.

Meanwhile, Spencer had been looking forward to Angeline helping in persuading Mrs. Yorks to come home.
