Ch. 1891..1900

Chapter 1891

Jay guessed the answer immediately. "Was that a call from the madam?"

Tempest nodded awkwardly, saying, "Sir Ares, Madam wants me to keep this a secret."

Jay looked startled. Angeline would rather share something with Tempest than tell him straight what the matter was? This left him feeling extremely downcast. "What did she say?" he asked with a dark expression.

Tempest's lips moved and he was about to say something when Jay suddenly waved at him. He said, "Forget it. Just go."

Tempest still decided to spill the beans in the end. " Madam wants me to go to Horizon Colors, the second floor of Building 5." Jay was surprised.

He had a property in Horizon Colors, so why did Angeline choose to rent the property next door?

In the end, Tempest and Jay, who felt restless, came to Horizon Colors together.

When Tempest entered Horizon Colors, Jay sat in the car and lit up a cigar gloomily.

Soon, Angeline came out and walked straight to the Rolls-Royce. She aggressively yanked the car door open and climbed into the backseat.

Jay was sitting in the front, and when he heard the car door being slammed shut, he felt like his soul was almost shaken out of his body.

He turned his head in trepidation and looked at his furious wife.

"Is Baby Zetty in there?" he asked.

Angeline glared furiously at him. She then turned to look out the window after giving him a frosty glance.

Jay quickly got out of the car and squeezed into the back seat.

"Now, now, don't sulk, Angeline. You can vent it out on me if you're angry." He moved closer to Angeline anxiously.

Angeline turned back to look at him with tears streaming down her face. She then crashed into his open arms and started wailing while pounding his chest constantly.

"This is all your fault! It's all your fault! Why did you stop Baby Zetty and Finn from dating? You're the cause of Baby Zetty's suffering!"

Jay's eyes dimmed.

Back then, he was against Zetty and Finn dating each other, but it was all for Baby Zetty's own good. She was his only daughter, plus she was so young. He feared that Finn would overstep certain boundaries and commit unforgivable crimes.

Therefore, he had pressured Finn and warned him against touching Baby Zetty.

"They're not suitable for each other," Jay said in a hoarse voice.

Angeline said, "I don't care if they're suitable for each other or not. All I know is that Baby Zetty is unhappy without Finn."

Angeline nestled in Jay's arms while wailing her heart out. Jay was thrown into confusion as well. Baby Zetty had given up on herself completely, whereas Angeline felt sorry for their daughter. Right now, he must remain rational in order to console both sentimental women.

He stroked Angeline's head and consoled her tenderly, saying, "Not everyone can have a smooth-sailing life, Angeline. I don't want my daughter to be the vulnerable one when it comes to love. I don't want her to humble herself to please anyone."

Angeline, "..."

Angeline raised her crimson and teary eyes, staring pitifully at Jay.

Jay gently wiped her tears and said, "A love that is fair works both ways. I love you, and you love me. I will not put you down, whereas you will protect my pride and dignity forever."

Chapter 1892

Chapter 1892

Angeline was aware of this truth but unlike Jay, Angeline was not that principled. Angeline loved fantasizing and was filled with longing.

"What if Finn falls in love with Baby Zetty one day?"

"I watched Finn grow up, Angeline. Unlike Tempest and Storm, his character isn't that easy to predict.

Finn is rebellious to his core and has dreams and pursuits of his own. He has a different vision when it comes to love.

"He dated once in college, hoping to start a family of his own as soon as possible and take pleasure in the comfort that a family could bring him... The age gap between him and Baby Zetty is just too huge. Tha introduces too many variables in their relationship. I want to protect my daughter, but I need to support Finn's dream too."

Angeline stopped crying. "What about Baby Zetty?"

Jay replied, "We may be devastated by Baby Zetty's current predicament, but she's the Ares family's child, and the child of the Ares family has no right to remain a hothouse flower. Under the ravage of storms, she will choose between withering or standing proud and firm.

"We can't be the umbrella on top of her head forever. If that's the case, let us be the soil under her feet. Let's help her grow stronger."

Angeline covered her face with her hands and cried out, "You're a cruel father."

Jay said, "Angeline, you have to trust our daughter. She's tender yet tough like you. She will get through the storm."

Angeline hoped that time would go by faster because Baby Zetty's heartbreak could only heal with time.

Tempest picked countless roses in the garden and weaved them into a gorgeous wreath, taking it to the second floor of Building 5.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Baby Zetty curled up on the couch. The changes in Baby Zetty's weight in just 20 days left Tempest startled.

Baby Zetty asked him shyly, "I look really ugly, don't I, Brother Tempest?"

Tempest put the wreath on Baby Zetty's head and replied sincerely, "No, you're not."

Baby Zetty stammered, "You don't have to comfort me."

Tempest said, "Your beauty has always radiated from the inside out. Although you're the Ares family's daughter, you have never been haughty because of who you are, nor have you relied on your status to oppress others.

"You love tiny animals and safeguard everyone's dignity. Baby Zetty, you're the kindest and most beautiful girl that Brother Tempest has ever met."

Baby Zetty's tears filled her eyes. "Why does Brother Finn not like me then?"

Tempest said, "Who said that? Of course, Brother Finn likes you. He was so anxious when he heard that you're ill. However, Brother Finn's love for you can never reach the same height as your love for him. "It isn't because you're not good enough, but because the ideal love that Brother Finn wants to pursue is different from yours."

Baby Zetty listened attentively to Tempest. His voice was extremely gentle, so gentle that it could cure a person's broken heart. Gradually, Baby Zetty recovered from her grief-stricken state.

"Thanks for not despising me, Brother Tempest," Baby Zetty said with tears in her eyes.

Tempest was slightly startled.

"Silly girl."

He had merely said a few words of kindness to her and that was already enough to move her to such an extent. She seemed to have forgotten her own identity, that she was the Ares family's daughter. Anyone would fawn over her.

Baby Zetty said, "If it were someone else praising me, then I may not buy it, but I believe in you, Brother

Tempest."

Baby Zetty's trust in Tempest stemmed from the heart. Tempest held an extremely special position in the Ares children's hearts. In their opinion, Tempest was a man of noble character.

Tempest had sacrificed his life to save Jay and spent a long period of time lying in the hospital after that. Even when his entire body was covered in injuries, he never uttered a word of complaint. When his injuries healed, Tempest did not claim the credit either. He was always the indifferent one, as unworldly as wild stock and floating clouds-seeking neither fame, fortune, nor material desires. Tempest could make anyone feel safe.

Chapter 1893

Chapter 1893

After Baby Zetty dropped out of school, days seemed to drag on for Angeline. Jay looked at the cheerless Angeline and felt extremely heavy-hearted as well.

He wished more than anyone for Baby Zetty to feel better, but what Baby Zetty had was a broken heart. To cure her broken heart, she needed to go back to the source, and that source was Finn. Jay would never bring himself to destroy Finn's love in favor of his daughter.

Angeline sat on the couch and stared grumpily at him. "Even if you refuse to separate Finn and Tammy, you should at least tell Finn the truth about Baby Zetty's illness. Who knows, maybe Finn would be moved by Baby Zetty's infatuation?"

Jay said helplessly, "Angeline, Baby Zetty doesn't need Finn's pity."

Angeline and Jay had vastly different approaches when it came to handling Baby Zetty's affair. Angeline was concerned only about her child's wellbeing and was willing to try anything that could help her child. She had lost her sanity and was on the verge of breaking down.

Jay, on the other hand, was looking far ahead into the future. He knew that his children could not avoid facing storms as they grew up.

This was similar to him and Josephine when they were young. After a kidnapping case, Grandpa had shielded Josephine with great care, disallowing her to step out of the house and arranging countless bodyguards to send her to and fro from school. In the end, she lost the ability to protect herself and was brutally wounded by thugs.

On the contrary, as a man, Jay welcomed challenges. He worked hard to hone his skills and adapt to life. In the end, he became a world-class powerhouse.

Jay walked closer to Angeline, but she turned away to ignore him. For the past few days, both of them had surpassed the limit for the number of quarrels and cold wars they could have in this lifetime as husband and wife because of Baby Zetty. Although this feeling was often one-sided, it still put Jay through a lot of suffering.

"Don't get mad anymore, Angeline," Jay said, coaxing her.

"I will handle Baby Zetty's affairs properly."

Angeline glared at him. "How are you going to handle it? Wait for her to walk out of the shadows herself? It has been so long. Do you think she can walk out of it? Had you asked Finn to come over and meet her when she first started binge eating, then perhaps she

wouldn't have fallen into depression."

Jay looked at Angeline's eloquent mouth and laughed innocently.

Angeline was exasperated.

"How are you still laughing?"

Jay walked over, wrapped his arm around her waist, and coaxed humbly. "If you're unhappy, Angeline, then feel free to hit me and scold me."

Angeline looked at Jay only to realize that she had been taking her anger out on him.

She threw herself into his arms and burst into tears." I'm sorry, Jaybie. I know you feel equally helpless and have no right to interfere in Finn's choice, but I really don't know what to do." Jay sighed.

He was more worried about Angeline than Baby Zetty. It was clear that Angeline's anxiety was much more serious than Baby Zetty's.

In order to stop herself from venting out her frustrations on Jay, Angeline made a major decision.

"I think I should get a job, darling."

Jay looked at Angeline's face that was growing thinner day by day and thought maybe Angeline's grief could heal if she began diverting her attention to work.

Therefore, he nodded in agreement.

Little did Jay know that as soon as Josephine heard that Angeline was looking for a job, she immediately referred her to her former directors. Angeline landed a job fairly quickly as a female supporting actress for an urban drama.

Urban dramas were, to Jay, dramas that involved kissing and bed scenes. As such, he strongly opposed Angeline s line of work.

Therefore, he went all out to interfere with Angeline's work.

"Angeline, I suddenly remember that we have yet to go on our honeymoon trip. The booking for the hotel is about to expire. Why don't we go on a trip first?"

Now that Baby Zetty was sick, Angeline was not in the mood to travel far from home, hence she replied, "Just cancel it."

Chapter 1894

Chapter 1894

"I can't cancel it."

"Then just pretend that we've been there," Angeline replied.

Jay,"..."

When one plot failed, one cooked up another.

Jay looked at Josephine's belly and said, "Josephine is about to give birth soon. Do you think you can make it back in time if you join the cast?"

Angeline did not say a word, and Zayne retorted to Jay immediately.

"You don't want my sister to go out and work, do you? Selfish. You're so selfish. You're managing Grand Asia so well yourself but raised my sister in captivity, turning her into your private property..." Jay glared at Zayne with gloomy eyes. "Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen."

Josephine chuckled. "Zayne, my brother isn't stopping Sis Angeline from going to work. He just doesn't want her to act with other men."

Josephine consoled Jay, saying, "Don't worry, Brother. This is Angeline's first time acting, so the director will just give her a small role. She won't have scenes that

involve emotional acting."

Jay was relieved after hearing what she said.

Zayne was extremely speechless. "Brother Jay, did you come from an old sect? Do you know what era we're living in now? Why are you so close-minded?" Jay glared at him.

On the day of Angeline's audition, she dressed up meticulously, looking as gorgeous as a flower. This made Jay feel extremely uneasy.

He pushed Angeline out the door as she was dolling herself up in front of the dressing table, saying, "Hurry up and go, Angeline. You're running late." Angeline walked out of Chateau de Selene. Zayne and Josephine's car was parked right outside the door.

Jay said, "I'll send Angeline there. You don't have to go."

Angeline waved her hand quickly and said, "No, no, n o. You don't have to go, darling."

Jay's dashing face abruptly turned cold. "Why can't I g o?"

Angeline explained, "Others will know that you're my backer if you do. They will treat me with awe and respect, and if that happens, I'm not going to be happy at work."

Jay thought to himself that Angeline's job was meant to divert her mind from boredom, and if things did not go well for her at work because of him, Angeline was sure to confront him about the problem afterward. Therefore, he replied reluctantly, "Okay then. Be careful. You must tell me if anything happens."

"Mm."

Angeline jumped into Zayne's car with delight.

When Jay saw the smile on Angeline's face, the smile that had been missing for so long, he remembered that this was her first official job hunt. He now understood why she was taking it so seriously and was in such a jovial mood.

He had dawdled away too much of her time. He had dominated her life even when she was just a student, and she gave birth to three children as soon as she grew up. Much later, her life was closely bound to the ups and downs of his life. Just the thought of it made him feel extremely guilty.

It was indeed time for him to return her freedom.

When he thought about it this way, Jay went from opposing Angeline's line of work to supporting her.

Now that Angeline had gone to work, it would be boring for him to stay in Chateau de Selene alone, so he might as well go back to work like Angeline.

Therefore, Jay went back to work in Grand Asia as well.

At TV Station.

The heavily pregnant Josephine personally led

Angeline to the directors she knew.

"Mr. Michael, this is the new actress I recruited for you."

Chapter 1895

Chapter 1895

The director was dumbfounded when he laid eyes on Angeline. He immediately noticed her slim figure and ethereal beauty that made her resemble a flower that had just bloomed.

After a very long time, the director teased Josephine," This is the supporting actress you found me? Whether it's her appearance or her elegance, this supporting actress is going to crush and suppress the lead completely."

Angeline smiled calmly. "If you think I'm not a suitable candidate, then that's fine. I'll just find another job."

The director was drawn to Angelina's calm and casual temperament, saying, "What's your name, young lady? You're born to be an actress. Look, why don't you go get changed and prepare for the audition? I'll talk to the management afterward and make you the lead."

Angeline thought for a moment and replied, "J. Harts."

J. Harts, as the name suggested, was derived from Jay's sweetheart.

Josephine's eyes widened as she gave Angeline a thumbs up. "That's a pretty good stage name."

Angeline found it difficult to digest the free lunch that

she had just gotten.

Josephine took Angeline's hand excitedly and dragged her into the fitting room, saying, "You're really lucky, Sis Angeline. Back then, I started with a small role and gradually made my way up to the lead role. Look at you! You're being offered the lead role with just your appearance alone."

Angeline said with a smile, "It's still not decided yet, right? Besides, I'm thinking if I should discuss with your brother about the role change?"

Josephine quickly waved her hands. "You mustn't tell my brother, Sis Angeline! If that old-fashioned man knows that you're going to be the lead, he will probably carry you home from the set."

Angeline mulled it over and thought that it was not the time to inform Jay yet since the final decision had not been made.

When Angeline was done getting changed and came to the audition's venue, the other actors' tongues began to wag when they saw her in the lead actress' outfit.

"Didn't they appoint the lead already? Why is she here to audition for the lead?"

The director handed a script to Angeline and informed her, "Pick a scene, J. Harts."

Angeline casually flipped through the script and ultimately picked the famous scene where death parted the male and female leads.

When the director shouted to start the audition, Angeline got in character immediately.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly, and grief was apparent on her exceptionally beautiful face.

The overwhelming emotions turned her affectionate eyes dreary and fuzzy; even her body began to shake.

"I don't want to leave you. Take me with you if you want to die." She read the lines in a melodious but very hoarse voice.

She was experiencing the inner world of the female lead as if she really was the character in the script.

The director was struck dumb. He asked Josephine, " Did your friend learn acting?"

Tears welled up in Josephine's eyes as she sighed emotionally. "No, she didn't. But her life has taught her how to act." The director was beyond excited. It was like he had found a treasure.

"I want her. I want her only. She will be the female lead."

When Angeline's audition was over, Josephine handed her a tissue. "Your acting skills are awesome, Sis Angeline!"

Angeline wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled a little shyly. "It feels like this script is written based on my story."

Josephine said, "You have strong empathic tendencies, Sis Angeline. You're born for this job. Keep it up! Maybe you will be the best actress to win the Oscar in the future." Angeline rolled her eyes. "Stop joking around with me."

She was not particularly fond of acting. Angeline simply wanted a job, and since she had found one, she decided to just go with it.

However, Angeline questioned herself from the bottom of her heart. 'Is this something that I like doing?'

The director handed the script to Angeline and said solemnly, "Go back and think about the lead role. Prepare yourself to start work at any time."

"Mm."

Angeline took the script, and when she left joyfully with Josephine, a dazzling and gorgeous celebrity stood in their way.

She was very tall, and when surrounded by a crowd, her aura seemed particularly strong.

Chapter 1896

Chapter 1896

"I heard that you want the lead role?" The celebrity looked at Angeline smugly.

Josephine knew who this was. This woman had been the star actress for the past two years. Rumor had it that she had a really strong backing, so even though her image made her unsuitable for the lead role, the management still pushed for her to become the lead nonetheless.

Josephine said, "The director has made his decision, Luna. If you're not happy with it, then you can always go to the director. Step aside."

Luna scowled at Josephine and her gaze then fell on her belly, a malicious glint exuding from her eyes.

Alarm bells started ringing in Angeline's head. She rushed over to stand in front of Josephine and said gently, "If you want the lead role, then take it. I have no intention of competing with you."

Luna sneered and said, "Guess you're pretty sensible after all."

She stretched out her hand and ordered, "Give me the script."

Angeline handed her the script, but Josephine angrily snatched it away. "Do you know how many people are

racking their brains trying to be the lead, Sis Angeline? Why are you giving it away for nothing when you clearly stand a chance? I don't agree with this."

Angeline felt very helpless...

Luna suddenly walked over and bumped into Josephine. Josephine clutched her belly and slumped to the ground in pain.

The sight of this left Angeline pale with fright. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Zayne!"

Zayne, who was sitting in the car, heard Angelina's tragic cries and jumped out of the car before rushing over at lightning speed.

"Josephine!" Zayne was frightened out of his wits when he saw Josephine on the ground. "What happened to you?"

Angeline ordered, "Send her to Grand Asia, quick!"

Zayne picked Josephine up and bolted to the car.

Angeline raised her hand and slapped Luna viciously across her face, warning her angrily, "A malicious woman like you isn't worthy of the lead role. This role is mine."

Luna stomped her feet in anger. "Dream on!"

Angeline was in a hurry to send Josephine to the hospital, so she said viciously to her, "I won't let you get away with this." She left after saying those words.

Zayne and Angelina sent Josephine to Grand Asia together. After the doctor performed an examination on Josephine, they ordered in a hurry, "Her cervix is open. The baby is ready to be delivered. Send her to the delivery room immediately."

With that, Josephine was sent to the delivery room by the obstetric nurse.

Zayne stood outside the delivery room anxiously.

Angeline asked him, "Would you like to go in and keep her company?"

Zayne was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He looked at Angeline with a stunned expression and replied to her question with another question, "Do you think I should go in or not?"

Angelie said, "You should go in. Josephine needs you."

Zayne walked inside.

However, as soon as he entered, he blushed at the sight of the scene and rushed out again.

"Why did you come out?" Angeline asked him.

Zayne's face was redder than a tomato. "I'm shy."

Angeline was exasperated, saying, "Your wife's life is hanging by a thread and all you're concerned about is your reputation? Go in!"

Zayne asked while feeling uncertain, "Is it really that dangerous to give birth to a child?"

Angeline nodded. "Of course."

Zayne was even more perturbed now.

"Stop giving me a fright. I'm about to pee in my pants."

"Just how useless can you be? Hurry up and go in." Angeline pushed Zayne into the delivery room.

Chapter 1897

Chapter 1897

Not long after, Jay got wind of the news and rushed to Grand Asia Hospital. When he laid eyes on Angeline, who was anxiously waiting outside the delivery room, Jay sprinted over. "Angeline."

When Angeline saw him, her worried expression immediately turned to guilt and self-blame. "Jaybie, it's my bad. I shouldn't have asked Josie to accompany me to work..."

Jay held Angeline's thin face in both his hands and said softly, "Angeline, don't blame yourself. Josie's due date is near, so she'll be fine." Angeline nodded.

In the delivery room, Zayne stared at Josie whose face was distorted from the pain of childbirth. He had never seen such an ugly expression on Josie before, but at this moment, he could not be more in love with her. He felt that the Josie in front of him was the Josie who loved him the most.

He held Josie's hand tightly as beads of sweat rolled off his forehead. It was as if he was the one who was giving birth to the baby. It almost seemed as though he could feel every heart-piercing pain that Josie felt.

Zayne became more nervous than he had ever been in his life. "Josie, if you're in pain, you can bite me."

The labor pain from contractions was not continuous. In the time between contractions, Josie was still conscious and aware. She even teased him a little.

"I'm not... a puppy. Why would I bite you... Ahhhhhh! Zayne, it hurts so much. I don't want to do this again."

"Okay! No more kids, never again!"

Josie had been well-prepared for the birth of their child. She intended to go for a painless water birth, but when Luna Hilton bumped into her, all her previous plans were disrupted.

Fortunately, after four hours of labor, Josie successfully gave birth to a baby boy! Both the mother and child were safe and sound.

When the doctor came out carrying the baby, Angeline and Jay immediately greeted him.

"Mr. Ares, it's a boy. Both mother and child are safe," the doctor said with a smile.

Angeline was relieved.

At that moment, she felt like she had been reborn. The arrival of the little baby brought vigor and vitality to her life.

Angeline carefully carried the baby.

Zayne was embarrassed and walked out staggeringly.

Jay's gaze fell on Zayne's trembling legs. He asked in surprise, "It wasn't you who gave birth to the child, so why are you shaking so much?"

Zayne, who was in shock, said to Jay, "You're lucky that it wasn't Angeline who gave birth to a child today! If you were me, you would've torn down Grand Asia. Let me tell you, it's exciting and terrifying at the same time!"

Then, Zayne acted out the scenes. He reenacted the earth-shattering screams and the anxious midwife... He brought the scene to life with funny sounds, making himself seem like someone with mental issues.

Jay was shocked by his performance. He then imagined the time Angeline gave birth to their children...

She had not had a midwife with her, nor was he by her side then. She was by herself, full of despair and loneliness. Jay felt down when he thought of that.

Angeline was not willing to put the baby down.

It was only at this moment that Zayne ran over to see his child. "My son is so handsome."

"He's very ugly," Angeline said.

Zayne argued, "Clearly, he's handsome. The doctors said that this child is the best-looking child they've ever seen."

Angeline blurted out and said, "That's because they haven't seen Jens and Baby Robbie. If they had, they

wouldn't say that."

Zayne suddenly thought of something and his expression turned serious. He nervously asked Angeline, "Then... how much better is Jens and Baby Robbie compared to my son?"

Chapter 1898

Chapter 1898

Angeline said, "Their eyes are bigger than your son's, their noses are taller than your son's, and their faces are smaller..."

Jay looked at Zayne and Angeline who were busy discussing the appearance of the newborn and felt even more disappointed.

Angeline sensed that Jay was upset. She handed the baby to Jay. "My love, it's your turn to carry him."

Jay was not interested in the baby and said, "Zayne should carry him."

Zayne stretched out his hand, but when Angeline handed the child to him, he quickly drew back his hands. He said bitterly, "I, I... I can't hold him.

Angeline, you should hold him. I don't know how to hold such a cute little boy."

Jay stood up, stuffed the baby into Zayne's arms, and said, "This is your son. You have to learn how to hold him. Josie is going to be resting for the time being and Angeline is weak. No one will be here to help you hold the child. If you don't hold him, who will?"

Zayne seemed to be petrified. He pitifully begged Jay,1 Sir Ares, please don't. I admit that I haven't been the kindest to you, but don't retaliate against me now. I

beg you, please help me hold the baby. Hurry up, or the baby might fall! Oh my God, why is his head so soft..."

Jay jokingly said, "You want me to hold the baby for you? Okay, call me 'Daddy."

Zayne said without a trace of shame, "Daddy, Papa, sir..."

Angeline looked at the two naive men silently.

Jay took the child. Zayne found that his hands were a s rigid as iron.

"What's the kid's name?" Jay asked.

Zayne said, "I haven't thought about it yet."

Jay looked at him angrily. "What have you been doing before this? Shouldn't you have thought of it in advance?"

Zayne was aggrieved. "I thought about it since the day he was conceived but could not find a good one. I'm not smart like you. You're good at these kinds of things. I thought of hundreds and even thousands of names but Josie said no to all of them."

Jay blurted out a name, "Name him Joseph Severe." 1

Zayne said, "Why didn't I think of this name? Okay, we'll go with Joseph Severe."

After half an hour, Josie was pushed back to the VIP room.

Things got busy.

The child needed to take a bath and be breastfed.

However, all the daily necessities that Josie had prepared for the child were left at home.

Zayne was at a loss when faced with these trivial things.

Many of the tasks fell on Angeline, so became busy from day till night.

Jay felt sorry for Angeline and called Grayson. "Please get me four nurses who specialize in postpartum care."

The nurses arrived in the afternoon to relieve Angeline. When Jay was about to take Angeline home, Zayne stepped in and said, "Can we trust the nurses you hired? Would they abuse my son?" Jay said, "You have to be alert and watch them all the time."

Zayne took Angeline s hand and pleaded bitterly," Sister, don't go. If you leave, I won't know what to do"

Angeline had to stay.

Sir Ares was furious! "Zayne, you have the doctors to attend to Josie and four nurses to attend to Joseph. You don't need Angeline to be here!" 1

Chapter 1899

Chapter 1899

Zayne knelt in front of Jay and begged him, "Sir Ares, please be kind to me and allow Angeline to help me out here for a few more days."

Zayne did not really need Angeline's help. It was just that he felt assured and calm whenever he was around her.

Angeline pulled Zayne up and said, "Okay, I promise I won't leave. Get up."

Jay was annoyed and scowled at Zayne, yelling," Useless piece of trash!"

Soon, Jay changed his mind.

The reason being that Josie's postpartum meals were rich in nutrients. More importantly, Josie's mealtimes were frequent.

Angeline was bored, so she hung out with Josie a lot where they would share meals and laugh while enjoying themselves. After a few days, Angeline's cheeks were rosy and her face became a little chubby. Jay was happy with Angeline's transformation. He subconsciously thought that the baby was bringing good luck to Angeline, so he particularly liked Joseph.

Zayne, the novice dad, slowly got the hang of things. H e depended on Angeline less and less as the days

went by. Zayne even offered to send Angeline home to rest.

Jay said, "It's great there. Let her spend more time with Josie."

Zayne was puzzled, and after some thought, he came to a conclusion. "Jay, did I step on your tail or something? When I wanted Angeline, you shouted at me for making her stay. Now that I'm offering to send her back, you want her to stay. What are you trying to d o?"

Angeline smiled and said, "I won't go home. I want to eat nutritious postpartum meals with Josie every day. The meals are delicious and good for my health."

Zayne instantly understood Jay's intentions.

"Now I get you."

However, Angeline's good days would soon be over.

The other day, the director called her to say that she had secured the spot as a supporting character for the drama she auditioned for. He asked her to go over for filming as soon as possible. When Angeline heard that she was only offered the role of a supporting character, her face turned gloomy.

She used to be someone who did not fight for things that she wanted. However, Luna was a horrible person who caused Josie to give birth prematurely, so Angeline had a bone to pick with her.

Angeline would not allow anyone unworthy to mess with the people around her.

Angeline told the director off, "I'll only be a part of this drama if I'm the female lead."

The director was stuck in between the two women. "M s. J, you're a newcomer, and it's already amazing that you got the role of a supporting character. The female lead has already been decided and it'll be played by Luna Hilton. It cannot be changed."

Angeline had never used her strong backing.

However, this time, she wanted to fight fire with fire. Luna could not get away with everything just because she had someone powerful behind her back. Angeline wanted to let Luna know how it felt to be bullied.

Angeline said, "Director, don't worry about it. I'll deal with this myself." Then, she hung up the phone.

The director looked at his phone in a daze.

'Who does she think she is?'

Angeline held her phone and walked to Jay.

"Jaybie." Her voice was soft and cute.

Jay was focused on his phone, but because Angeline had softly called out to him, he immediately shifted his gaze to her.

"Yes, darling?"

Angeline stretched her finger and lightly tapped his arm. She then grabbed his sleeves playfully while saying coquettishly, "I want you to back me up."

Jay had not seen such a soft side to Angeline for many years now. Whenever she acted coquettishly, it was charming and alluring. The world around her seemed to turn pink.

Jay pulled her into his arms and gently rubbed the back of her head. "Jaybie is here to back you up. Tell me, who's bullying my baby?"

Angeline bit her lip as a look of shame filled her eyes." I was bullied by a little girl."

Jay's handsome face turned icy in an instant. He angrily threw his phone in his hand onto the table.

"Who?" He gritted his teeth.

Josie immediately chimed in, "She's one of the highest -paid actresses in Timeless Crew. Her name is Luna Hilton. I'm not too sure which sponsor is backing her. She's chubby and doesn't fit the image of a heroine, but she still secured the female lead role."

Jay was indifferent to drama between women, but when it came to Angeline, it was a different case.

Jay asked her in a gentle tone, "Why is she bullying you?"

"Because I was supposed to be the female lead," Angeline muttered.

"I didn't mean to. The director thought I was suitable to be the female lead, so he asked me to audition for it. After Luna found out about it, she questioned me face to face. I agreed to return the role to her, but she pushed Josie! She knew Josie was pregnant but still went ahead and pushed her. She's a bad person..." Angeline got furious as she recounted the story.

Jay listened to Angeline's rant and fell into deep thought.

He had not expected Angeline to be so kind that she would get bullied by others now.

She had been willing to let go of the female lead role when Luna confronted her.

Jay felt sorry for Angeline.

Angeline noticed that Jay had not responded for a long time, so she held his face and acted like a baby." Jaybie, help me. I want to be the female lead."

Jay looked at her and said lovingly, "That's it?"

Angeline said in a proud tone, "When I become the female lead, she'll be kicked out. It'll drive her mad."

Jay rubbed her face and said, "Look at you. I'd say yes even if you want to change all the female leads in TV Station."

Angeline kept quiet.

She then gave a cheeky but slightly embarrassed smile when she thought of what she had just done.

"It's nice to have someone backing you."

Josie said angrily, "We're letting her off easy."

Angeline comforted Josie and said, "Josie, don't be too angry. Let's assign her the role of a female antagonist. Then, her public image will also be affected after the audience sees her in such a role.

Josie was taken back by Angelina's so-called ' kindness'. She looked at Jay and said, "Jay, how is Angeline so weak that she's often bullied? Anyone can step on her."

Angeline was speechless.

Meanwhile, Jay sighed helplessly.

"Yeah, Angeline. Jaybie has your back and you can do anything you want in Imperial Capital. Is this how you're making use of it?"

Angeline snuggled in Jay's arms happily, laughing non-stop.

"You have to protect me forever."

Jay patted her and said, "I promise."

He then stood up and said, "I'm leaving. I'm going to help my baby out."

Angeline smiled brightly. "Hahaha!"

Josie took the opportunity to take another stab at Luna. "Jay, you must teach Luna Hilton a lesson. If you set an example with her, no one will dare to bully Angeline again." Angeline kept quiet.

At TV Station.

Jay stormed into Jean Ares' office.

Jean was very honored that his eldest brother was visiting.

"What brings you here?" Jean quickly got up and gave up his seat. Jay was not bothered with pleasantries and sat down on Jean's office chair immediately.
