Ch. 1921..1930

Chapter 1921

Jay's thunderous fury slowly calmed down. His logical mind was gradually returning, and at this moment, he finally figured out the reason for Angeline's upset tone earlier. "They forced you to shoot this?" Jay asked.

Angeline's eyes were red, but she neither shook nor nodded her head.

She was indeed the aggrieved one in this situation.

The production team had modified the script without authorization and basically forced her to accept their decision.

However, since things had come to this, Angeline also had a unshirkable responsibility.

She was the one being too soft-hearted and did not persevere till the very end.

Hence, Angeline could only choose to be silent.

Jay raised his gaze to look at Ash, who was on the opposite side. Ash was still unhappily muttering," Who's the guy, J. Harts? We're in the middle of filming at the moment, and you just interrupted our shooting. This is very irresponsible behavior."

Jay hugged Angeline in his arms and glared at Ash.'

I'm her man."

Ash was slightly startled...

After looking at Jay a couple more times, he was somewhat surprised. A rookie unknown actress like J. Harts should only be a nobody without a backer or a background.

However, her man's aura was extraordinary, and the guy was also very good-looking. Ash used to think he was the best-looking celebrity out there, but he never expected the rookie's husband to be so handsome that it was in defiance of the natural order.

It also seemed like he had seen this man somewhere before? However, he could seem to recall it.

Ash had always been rampant and aggressive, so he was not much different even when facing Jay. "Even if you're her man, you still have to show us some respect. We're working at the moment. It's just a kiss anyway, so why are you making a fuss?"

Ash babbled away as if he was swept up in his ego.

"As a qualified actor, a kiss scene or even a bed scene shouldn't be an issue. You should be able to take off your clothes when needed and make it seem as realistic as possible. An actor must be able to make fake scenes come true..."

Grayson took out a piece of tissue and wiped off the sweat on his forehead. He could foresee that Sir Ares was about to massacre the entire TV Station today.

Jay's face turned darker and gloomier by the second. When he thought about Angeline shooting a kissing scene with other men, or a bed scene, or making any kind of motherf*cking fake scenes come true, he felt that his all blood vessels were about to explode.

Finally, he roared, "Grayson, who is this punk?"

Grayson stepped forward, and before he could say a word, Ash intervened and introduced himself very proudly.

"You actually don't know who I am?" Ash was extremely conceited. "I thought everyone in Imperial Capital would know who I am. Alright then, let me introduce myself. My name is Ash Long..."

Jay's eagle eyes were stained blood red. "Alright, Ash Long. I'll remember you. But I do wonder, do you know who I am?"

Only then did Ash become aware that this man with a n extraordinary temperament might have a remarkable identity as well. "Who are you?" he asked.

"Jay Ares," Jay spat out the words while gritting his teeth.

Ash's legs softened on the spot, and he almost knelt in front of him.

Jay was unwilling to overlook this. His malicious voice sounded like it came from depths of hell. "So you're the one who forced my Angeline into shooting a

kissing scene?"

Ash replied in a low, muffled tone, "How is this forcing? Isn't this considered devoting oneself to the arts?"

Jay retorted, "You may feel free to devote yourself to anything you like, but don't stir up trouble with my Angeline."

"Where's the director?"

The director stood up tremblingly.

"Inside my Angeline's contract, it was stated black and white that she was only to shoot innocent literature and artistic films. Can't you f*cking read?" Jay roared at him.

The director knew that Angeline definitely had a patron because she was able to defeat Luna. But he thought that since Angeline was a rookie, her background was still incomparable with a big-shot like Ash Long. So when Ash asked for more kissing scenes, the director could not stand his wheedling and agreed to it.

He never expected that a single slip could cause everlasting sorrow.

J. Harts' true identity turned out to be Angeline Severe, the wife of the Crown Prince of Imperial Capital. 1

Chapter 1922

Chapter 1922

The director apologized while trembling, "I'm sorry, Sir Ares. I shouldn't have altered the script..."

Jay kicked the director's legs and sent him kneeling to the ground.

"If I had come late today, Angeline would have become the meat on your chopping block, correct?" Jay was infuriated. "Angeline has me to fall back on. If this were another powerless actress, were you going to take advantage of her as you wished?"

The director was quivering all over and apologized non-stop. "I was wrong. I'll not bully newcomers anymore."

Jay cast his cold gaze at Ash and ordered Grayson through clenched teeth, "Disfigure him. I'd like to see if he can keep being so smug next time."

Ash was so terrified that he peed in his pants. He knelt to the ground and hugged Jay's feet. "Please spare me, Sir Ares."

When he noticed that Jay was not at all stirred, Ash turned to Angeline and said, "Please intercede for me, Mrs. Harts..."

Angeline cast her gaze on Jay, only to see him glaring furiously back at her.

"Don't you dare intercede for him."

Angeline,

She knew that Jay was hopping mad out of jealousy right now, and when this man was being bigoted and stubborn, he would become extremely unreasonable. Angeline shook her head hard. "I'm not. I'm not going to."

"Why aren't you being a good girl?" Jay pinched her chin and sulked. "Come in the car with me."

Grayson stayed. He stroked his chin with one hand, pondering ways to deal with the director and Ash.

If it were back then, Grayson only needed to use the most vicious methods to deal with these two men and he would be showered with praises by Sir Ares.

However, things were different at the moment. He needed to take into account Madam's feelings before he did anything.

Though Madam looked extremely timid today, when Sir Ares' anger dissipated, she would then use her devastating charm to correct the mistakes that Sir Ares had committed on impulse. In the end, Grayson chose not to disfigure Ash but instead chose to blacklist him and the director.

In the Rolls-Royce.

Jay drove the car himself and sped toward Chateau de Selene.

The atmosphere in the car was exceedingly solemn.

Jay did not speak, and Angeline was afraid to speak.

After a very long time, Jay said grumpily, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Like a child who had done something wrong, Angelina said timidly, "I'm too afraid to say it."

Jay gritted his teeth. "Why don't we start with the things you filmed earlier?"

"Oh."

Angeline explained the script to him from start to finish. In the beginning, there was a huge misunderstanding between both male and female leads, so they were in a love-hate relationship. Therefore, there were no intimate scenes involved.

Jay breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Jay choked in anger at the thought of the scenes that were to come afterward.

"Were you actually going to film a kiss scene with him had I not come?"

Angeline made no reply.

"Can you bring yourself to kiss another man?" Jay was losing his head. Angeline remained silent.

The longer she remained quiet, the more infuriated Jay was.

"You're not going to explain yourself?" Jay gnawed his teeth in anger.

Angeline muttered under her breath, "I... I don't know what to say."

 

Chapter 1923

Chapter 1923

Jay glared viciously at Angeline. "Angeline Severe, I'll give you one last chance to be honest with me. Were you going to film a kiss scene with him had I not come? Perhaps even a bed scene?" Angeline did not know if she would stoop to filming a kiss scene with Ash had Jay not come.

It was her job, after all.

Many newcomers and actors' hard work was tied to her.

"I don't know." Angeline felt extremely helpless.

Jay was so furious that he could no longer utter a word.

When the Rolls-Royce arrived at Chateau de Selene, Jay lost his gentlemanly qualities for the first time ever as he left Angeline alone in the car and stomped away.

Angeline sighed weakly and muttered gloomily," When is he going to fix his bad habit of getting jealous out of nothing? He's already an adult."

Jay did not return to Chateau de Selene but instead came to Fragrant Vessel Court. He said to Chloe and Jordan, "I'm having dinner here."

Chloe and Jordan exchanged glances with each other. "What about Angeline?"

Jay lowered his head without uttering a single word.

He theorized that his wrath would be enough to get Angeline to come over and coax him, right?

"Count her in."

Chloe heaved a sigh of relief.

She initially thought that the kids were having an argument, but seeing how Jay was worried about Angeline not having anything to eat, she figured it was probably not a major issue.

Chloe responded in delight, "Okay, okay. Talk to your dad, Jay. I'll go and fix something."

Jay was slightly stunned. "Where's aunt?"

Jordan explained, "Let your mother do it. She's obsessed with coming up with new recipes every day, saying that your digestive system isn't good while Angeline's health is weak, so she's thinking of a way to nurse your health."

Jay felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Jordan said, "This is all thanks to Angeline. She gave your mother an opportunity to turn over a new leaf."

When Jay heard Jordan singing Angeline praises, the fury in his heart dissipated tremendously. At this moment, he hoped that Angeline could come to Fragrant Vessel Court to pick him up.

Though after waiting for a very long time, and even when dinner was over, Angeline was still not here.

Jay felt an inexplicable surge of anger. How could she turn a blind eye to his wrath?

He could not stop himself from letting his imagination run wild.

Could it be that after Angeline had gone filming and spent all day with those metrosexual men, she now found him old-fashioned and boring? Even to the point where she was harboring wild fantasies about those men?

Jay was annoyed and irritable.

In truth, Angeline had spent some time alone in the Rolls-Royce before dragging her weary body to find Jay.

She thought he had gone to Grand Old Master Yorks or Flying Moon Cottage but did not expect him to be at his parents'.

After all, it was common for a couple to argue, so there was no need to alert his parents about it, right?

Angeline searched for a very long time before returning to Chateau de Selene after she failed to find Jay.

The house was deserted and cold with no one around.

Angeline lay on the bed in exhaustion, not bothering to even have dinner.

At ten at night, Jay returned.

Angeline could finally set her mind at ease. She asked him with an aggrieved tone, "Where did you go?"

Jay pulled a long face and growled. "Why do you care?"

If she actually cared about him, why did she not come and look for him?

Jay reverted to his lofty and taciturn demeanor, taking his clothes to the bathroom.

Angeline was struck dumb.

She could sense a cold war coming?

Angeline was so furious that she pulled the blanket over her and fell asleep.

When Jay walked out of the bathroom and saw her already asleep, his eagle eyes were full of icy chills.

He was already burning with rage yet she could still bring herself to fall asleep with peace of mind?

Fine, he admitted that he was wrong.

Chapter 1924

Chapter 1924

He only had himself to blame for spoiling her, for submitting and apologizing to her first whenever they had an argument.

He must teach her a lesson this time.

He must get her to admit her mistakes first.

Jay lay on the bed tossing and turning but could not fall asleep.

Angeline, on the other hand, stayed completely still with her eyes closed like a wooden puppet.

Jay probably thought that Angeline was fast asleep, hence he covered her with the blanket.

Angeline was secretly delighted. She turned around and wormed her way into his arms before beginning to sleep soundly.

Jay wanted to push her away and wake her up... Who gave her the right to sleep so soundly when he was here in great torment?

Though ultimately, he still could not bring himself to push her away.

The next day, Angeline woke up and noticed that Jay was no longer by her side.

There was breakfast on the table but no note.

A smile exuded from the depth of Angeline's eyes as she ate her oats.

He was angry but was still worried about her at the same time. It seemed like this cold war was quickly coming to an end.

Grand Asia.

Jay came to work listlessly. He summoned Grayson to the office and said, "Gather data about a person's behavior when she has a change of heart. I want it to be as complete as it can get." Grayson was stunned...

"Sir Ares, are you suspecting that Madam has had a change of heart?"

Jay glared at Grayson viciously. "You have a death wish."

Grayson ran away with his tail between his legs.

He ran to the door and poked his head in, giving him a rotten idea. "Sir Ares, isn't it easy if you want to know if Madam has had a change of heart? You just need to torture that boy toy and observe Madam's reaction. If Madam pleads for leniency for him, then that means she's interested in him, but if she doesn't react... then it means that your worries are for nothing."

Jay hooked his fingers at Grayson, and Grayson approached him.

Jay said, "Give Madam a call immediately. I don't need

to teach you what to say, I hope?"

Grayson looked as though he was put in a tight position. "Sir Ares, Madam is going to punish me if she finds out that I'm the one setting her up. You must protect me when that happens!"

Jay nodded.

Grayson was still worried. "You must keep your word, Sir Ares."

Jay glared at him. "Why do you have so much crap to say?"

Grayson fished out his phone and changed to a sim card of an unknown number before calling Angeline.

In no time at all, Angeline's voice rang out.

"Hello?"

Grayson imitated Ash's voice immediately and cried out wretchedly, "Mrs. Harts, this is Ash. Please save m e. Sir Ares wants to disfigure me and blacklist me. Please make a plea of leniency for me. You know have family members to take care of. My life will be over if I'm disfigured."

Angeline roared furiously, "What? He wants to disfigure you? And blacklist you?"

Grayson responded, "Yes, please save me, Mrs. Harts..."

Grayson hung up.

Jay pulled out his phone and placed it on the table, awaiting Angeline's call.

However, Angeline did not call him.

Instead, she called Grayson.

Grayson handed the phone to Jay, and Jay's complexion was as dark as the bottom of a pan.

"Answer it," he ordered Grayson angrily.

Grayson had no choice but to answer Angeline's call.

"Grayson, how is Sir Ares planning to deal with Ash?" Angeline interrogated him in an unfriendly tone.

Grayson pretended to be ignorant. "Uh, you don't have to know about this, Madam."

"I don't care how you punish Ash, but I must remind you that Ash is an actor and he earns a living with his face. Don't destroy his future. If he has made a mistake, you can just punish him according to the circumstances. Don't go too far."

Chapter 1925

Chapter 1925

Angeline was only making a plea of leniency for Ash because she was kind by nature.

However, in the eyes of Sir Ares who was on the verge of an emotional breakdown due to envy, her behavior was nothing more than adding fuel to the flames.

Grayson looked at Sir Ares in trepidation. Jay angrily wrote a string of words on a paper.

Grayson understood what he meant by that and said," Madam, this is Sir Ares' order and we can't defy it. If you want to make a plea of leniency for Ash, I think you should talk to Sir Ares yourself." Angeline was no fool. She knew that Grayson was often the one to execute Sir Ares' orders.

Angeline threatened and intimidated Grayson, "I'm warning you. Sir Ares is still mad, so you're not allowed to execute his orders. We'll talk about this tomorrow when his anger has dissipated." "Madam, you understand Sir Ares' temper better than anyone. If you don't placate him then he's never going to stop feeling angry."

"I know. Can't you see I'm trying to figure out a way?"

"Oh."

Grayson hung up and looked at Jay in delight.

"Hear that, Sir Ares? Madam said she'll apologize to you."

Jay's dark and mesmerizing face glowed with anticipation.

Since childhood, that woman had never taken the initiative to apologize even after committing all sorts of mistakes, major or minor.

Jay got off work early in the afternoon and rushed home eagerly.

Angeline was sitting on the couch, and upon seeing Jay, a hint of panic and anxiety flashed across her beautiful face.

Jay walked up to her and asked her with a stern countenance, "I heard that you want to offer me an apology?"

Angeline was stunned...

"When did I say that I'm going to apologize to you?" She clearly had not said such a thing.

The ball of hope in Jay's eyes extinguished without a trace.

He left Angeline alone and went upstairs.

Staring at his cold and resolute back, Angeline decided to launch her ultimate move.

This was the brilliant scheme she came up with after racking her brain for a very long time today.

"Are you going to reconcile with me, Jaybie?"

Jay stopped in his tracks and turned around. His mesmerizing face was full of gloom. "Is this how you apologize to me?"

After saying those words, he seemed to have trouble venting his anger and added, "I'm so disappointed in you." Angeline, "..."

Angeline's heart quivered slightly, though she still bit the bullet and continued to put on a show.

"Are you really not going to reconcile with me?"

Jay swaggered away.

Angeline sprung up from the couch. "I'm pregnant, Jay. If you don't want to reconcile with me then I'll go to the hospital and get an abortion." Having said that, Angeline swaggered out the door.

All while counting in her heart, 'One, two, three...'

When she counted to nine, she fell into Jay's arms.

"Are you really pregnant, Angeline?"

Angeline looked up with a pair of moist eyes and said aggrievedly, "Do you want to reconcile with me or not?"

Jay nodded in an exceedingly compliant manner.

"Okay, okay. Let's reconcile."

Angeline hopped with joy.

Jay picked her up anxiously. "Don't hop. You're going to hurt the baby."

He put Angeline on the couch and stared at her without knowing what to do. "Are you hungry, Angeline? Do you want to eat anything? I'll do it for you." Angeline nodded.

Chapter 1926

Chapter 1926

"I want to eat..." She initially wanted to list out fried foods but remembered that she was now 'pregnant', hence she changed her answer and said, "Eggs. Boiled eggs." Jay kissed Angeline before entering the kitchen.

When Jay brought the eggs out, Angeline, who had not eaten a proper meal the entire day, gobbled up two boiled eggs. Jay was pleased to see her good appetite after getting pregnant.

Little did he know, Angeline was just famished because she had not eaten a proper meal.

When Angeline was done eating, she nestled in his arms and started negotiating with him.

"I heard that you intend to disfigure Ash, Jaybie?"

Jay denied flatly. "Who said that? What a load of bullcrap."

"Grayson did," Angeline replied.

Jay fished out his phone and hurled criticisms at Grayson.

"Grayson, who asked you to disfigure Ash? He's an actor and makes a living with his face. Just punish him accordingly."

Grayson was extremely confused. "Sir Ares, weren't you the one who-"

"Shut up. Stop making excuses," Jay said in a rage.

Grayson came to a sudden realization. Madam had whitewashed what she had done.

Grayson pulled out a tissue paper and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, thinking to himself in trepidation, 'Fortunately, I left a way out for myself and didn't disfigure Ash. Looks like it was the right choice to follow Madam's orders. Sir Ares' authority is nothing compared to Madam's."

However, Grayson was curious as to how Madam had whitewashed the things she did?

Angeline's 'pregnancy' had left Jay feeling pleasantly surprised.

He was delighted because he was about to become a father again.

At the same time, he was concerned because Angeline was in poor health and it would be extremely laborious for Angeline to conceive a child.

In order to keep things relaxed and cheerful for Angeline during her pregnancy, Jay made plenty of painstaking efforts.

Back then, Angeline would always take up a lot of time before they went out to put on makeup.

This time, it was Jay.

He would look at Angeline's shoes, disallowing her to wear any form of heels-not even mid or low heels. In the end, he added a bunch of flats to Angeline's selection of shoes.

Angeline was not allowed to put on makeup as well as he was afraid that makeup products would harm the fetus. Even though Angeline told him that the products she used were all pregnancy safe, Jay still insisted in a domineering manner.

More terrifyingly, Angeline needed to hold Jay's hand when they went out.

After a few days, Angeline was growing uncomfortable from the constraints imposed on her.

She could also sense that Jay's fondness and affection for the child were growing day by day.

She was not pregnant, though!

Therefore, Angeline grew despondent. If Jay learned that she was deceiving him, it would probably be another round of thundering fury.

She could not conceal the truth forever.

Following Angeline's pregnancy, Jay was constantly in high spirits and radiating with happiness. His good mood was easy to notice, and in no time at all, he had managed to arouse Zayne's suspicion. That day, Zayne teased Jay, "Something is very wrong with you lately, Sir Ares. You're not going to work and are serving Angeline like she's some kind of a

goddess. Be honest with me, did you do something wrong again?"

Jay rolled his eyes at him. "What mistake could I possibly have committed?"

Zayne thought about it and said, "I know, you must have done something to let Angeline down so you're atoning for your crimes?"

Jay's pupils darkened slightly.

He stared at Angeline resentfully... Angeline was clearly in the wrong, but because she was pregnant, he had no choice but to swallow his grievances.

Angeline coughed hard. Darn it, Zayne! Why did he deliberately pick a topic she did not want to talk about?

Zayne noticed that something was amiss and pointed at Angeline. "Holy, don't tell me you're the one who did something to offend Sir Ares?"

Angeline said with a guilty conscience, "I'm not."

Zayne stroked the back of his head, sounding extremely puzzled. "That's right. I don't think you'd be bold enough to act like a boss if you had done something wrong." Jay added at this moment, "She's pregnant."

Zayne's pupils widened tremendously, and his gaze paced back and forth between Jay and Angeline.

Chapter 1927

Chapter 1927

Then, like Sherlock Holmes, he cracked the riddle. "O h. I get it now. Angeline must've done something wrong and made Brother Jay mad. Brother Jay wants to lose his temper but because Angeline's pregnant..."

Having said that, Zayne cast his gaze on Angeline's belly. "Are you... really pregnant? Or are you just deceiving your man?"

Angeline quivered in fear and cast an anxious gaze at Jay.

Jay noticed the flicker in her eyes and his eagle eyes contracted abruptly as he awaited her reply with a stern expression.

Zayne probably thought that things were not serious enough and muttered, "You haven't gotten pregnant for so many years, can you still get pregnant?"

Angeline was so furious that she clenched her fists and rushed over to hammer Zayne. "Darn it, Zayne. Do you even hear yourself? Who says I can't get pregnant?"

Zayne ran out, and Angeline chased after him.

When they ran out the door, Zayne ran back but Angeline stood still.

Knowing that something fishy was going on, Zayne

pointed at Angeline's nose and scolded her, "So you're lying to Brother Jay? Angelina Severe, you must be asking for a beating. How can you joke about things like that?"

Angelina dropped her head and muttered aggrievedly, "He'd have a cold war with me if I hadn't lied."

Zayne took on the role of a peacemaker and said, "Spit it out. What did you do? Brother Jay has never raised his voice at you, so how could he possibly give you the cold shoulder? You must have crossed the line this time..."

"I didn't. I'm going to have a kiss scene with an actor and he's jealous about it..."

Zayne asked, "Does that actor look good?"

Angeline said, "Of course, he looks good. He's Ash Long, an Oscar-winning actor. Not only is he handsome, but he's also really stylish..."

Zayne swallowed his saliva. "Look how smitten you are! Now I know why Brother Jay is mad. You're asking for a beating!"

At this moment, Jay walked out with a dark expression. He had overheard Angeline and Zayne's conversation, and the fury in his heart filled every fiber of his being.

He did not lose his temper and simply stared at Angeline with a pair of sullen eyes.

Angeline put on a bitter expression and muttered an

apology, "I'm sorry, Jaybie. I was wrong."

If Angeline had apologized when the problem first cropped up, then perhaps Jay would not be as mad.

Angeline, however, had deceived Sir Ares, giving him hope and then letting him down. One could only imagine how depressed Sir Ares might be feeling.

He ignored Angeline and walked past her calmly.

Angeline's heart went cold when she was ignored and given the cold shoulder by Sir Ares. However, she was in the wrong first, hence she needed to bear the responsibility for her crime. Zayne finally realized that he had gone too far with his jokes and hastened to apologize to Angeline.

"I'm sorry, Sis. I was wrong."

Josephine blamed Zayne non-stop, saying, "It's your fault for causing trouble. You'd better think of a way to help Sis Angeline. What do you plan to do to coax Brother Jay?"

Angeline said weakly, "It's my fault. This has nothing to do with you."

Angeline turned around to chase after Jay.

Jay returned to Chateau de Selene and started packing his bags.

When Angeline saw him pulling out his clothes from the closet, her tears fell like a broken tap. She cried and complained, "What are you doing? Are you going to live separately with me or are you getting a divorce with me?"

Jay was stunned. He had never thought about living separately with Angeline, let alone divorcing her. He was just feeling gloomy, and the fury within him must be vented out... or it would burn him to ashes. Nevertheless, he did not want to argue with Angeline, s o he chose to leave on a business trip.

He packed his luggage and dragged it away, but before he left, he said to Angeline, "I'm going on a business trip. I'll give you three days to reflect on your mistakes."

Angeline pestered him by clutching onto him. "I was wrong. I've learned from my mistakes. I really have."

"What have you learned?"

"I shouldn't have lied and said that I was pregnant."

Jay's expression sank and he pushed her away.

Although Jay was infuriated about her fake pregnancy, Angeline had always been a mischievous girl. In his opinion, deception like that was not serious enough to hurt their marriage and thus was forgivable. What he found intolerable, however, was that

Angeline actually agreed to film a kiss scene with Ash. She clearly knew that he was mad, but she still praised Ash and said that he was good-looking?

Chapter 1928

Chapter 1928

"Go and think about what you've done." Jay left without looking back.

Angeline slumped to the ground and started sobbing.

"What's the big deal? The families of other actors support them even when they're cosplaying in the movie, let alone filming a kiss scene. You're so old-fashioned, so outdated, and so darn traditional!"

When she was done crying, Angeline staggered to her feet and felt the world spinning. She was so frightened that she quickly held the door next to her. When the dizziness went away, Angeline quickly lay down on the bed.

"What's wrong with me?"

She had not felt this dizzy for a long time. Was she suffering from an anxiety attack again?

She had not had any anxiety attacks recently, though? Life might not be perfect, and things occasionally did not go the way she wanted them to, but that was not enough to trigger her anxiety. Angeline picked up the phone and texted Jay.

[I'm sick, darling. Will you please come home?]

When Jay saw Angelina's text, he struggled for a

moment and ignored it. He was pretty sure that she was plotting something again.

When Angeline did not receive a reply, she got up dejectedly and drove to Grand Asia Hospital.

Angeline did a full-body check-up, but when the results showed that there was nothing wrong with her, she drove home all by herself.

When Jay landed, he immediately received a call from Grayson.

"Mr. Ares, Madam came to the hospital for a check-up just now."

Jay's fingers trembled a little after hearing what he said, and his complexion turned dull.

Was Angeline not lying to him earlier when she told him she was ill?

"What did the doctor say?" Jay asked Grayson.

Grayson replied, "She did a full-body check-up but they didn't find anything wrong with her."

Jay was still uneasy about it. He speculated, "Could it be her anxiety attack?"

"Book me a return ticket immediately, Grayson."

Grayson,

Grayson said, "Mr. Ares, maybe Madam is trying to trick you again to make you go home." Jay replied, "I know that."

Grayson was speechless.

He clamored in his heart, thinking, 'If you know, then why are you still in a hurry to go home?'

"Mr. Ares, you need to improve your status in the family. You're encouraging Madam to tell lies if you're behaving like this..."

Jay said, "I know."

Grayson was speechless yet again.

"Should I book the tickets then, Mr. Ares?"

Jay mulled it over and said, "Book tomorrow's flight."

Grayson was dumbfounded.

Master Ares was cutting his business trip short because of a lie that Madam was telling. It seemed like Madam was bound to gain control over Mr. Ares for the rest of his life.

Tourmaline Estate.

Chateau de Selene.

Angeline returned home and lay on the bed in exhaustion.

A wave of drowsiness hit and she fell into a deep sleep in no time at all.

Angeline realized that apart from feeling dizzy from time to time, she was also starting to feel lethargic for some reason.

Chapter 1929

Chapter 1929

Jay rushed back to Chateau de Selene the next evening.

He opened the door anxiously and shouted, "Angeline!" No one answered him.

Jay went upstairs and pushed the bedroom door open, only to see Angeline sleeping soundly. From the sound of her regular breathing, he could tell that she was at ease.

Jay tossed his luggage on the floor and walked to the bedside, reaching out to touch her forehead. After confirming that her body temperature was normal, he looked at her with a gloomy expression. Sure enough, she had lied again.

Jay shuffled to the study with heavy footsteps and sat on the black leather chair, resting his head on the back of the chair before sinking in thought.

What was he supposed to do with Angeline?

After pondering for a very long time but still without a solution to the problem, he raised his wrist and checked his watch only to realize that two hours had passed.

There was no movement in the bedroom. Clearly,

Angeline was still asleep.

Jay's expression sank as a hint of worry flashed in his heart. He walked toward the bedroom briskly.

"Get up, Angeline!" Sleeping for such a long period of time during the day was not a good habit to have.

Shaken awake by Jay, Angeline opened her drowsy eyes. When she saw Jay, she quickly threw herself into his arms and started crying.

"You're finally home!" she cried out.

Jay asked grumpily, "Grayson said you went to the hospital?"

Angeline nodded. "Yeah."

"What did the doctor say?" Jay wanted to see how she was going to deceive him again this time.

Angeline raised her beautiful eyes that were glistening with tears. She said very seriously, "The doctor couldn't find anything wrong with me." Jay was stunned.

Angeline was not lying.

She had not gone to the hospital earlier just so he would come back.

"Do you feel unwell somewhere, Angeline?" Jay started to grow anxious.

"I feel a little dizzy and a little drowsy..." Angeline muttered.

Jay looked at Angeline's drowsy eyes and went into full panic mode.

"What's going on?" He sank into self-blame for losing his temper on Angeline despite knowing that she was not in good health. She was not having an anxiety attack, was she? Angeline said drowsily, "I don't know. I didn't have these strange symptoms before."

When she saw how worried Jay was, Angeline comforted him instead. "Don't worry, the doctor said that I'm okay."

Jay was still anxious. "Do you feel a general weakness?"

Angeline shook her head.

"Are there any other symptoms?"

Angeline thought for a moment. She had not eaten anything the entire day yet did not feel hungry at all.

Angeline said, "I don't have an appetite."

"What did you eat this morning?" Jay asked.

Angeline replied, "Half a glass of milk."

Jay frowned. "What about lunch?"

Angeline smiled at him... "I think I forgot to have lunch."

Jay roared, "Are you on your way to becoming a saint?

How could you forget to eat?"

When he was done yelling at Angeline, he sighed in annoyance but his tone was gentle when he spoke," Okay, okay, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

"I want to eat the pickled herring you made the day before yesterday."

Jay stood up and teased her, "That was for pregnant women."

After saying those words, he walked toward the kitchen compliantly.

Little did he know, his words had left her thunderstruck.

She remembered that during the time she was pregnant with Jenson and the rest, there seemed to be a few days when she was this drowsy and lethargic too. Was she really pregnant?

Angeline quickly got up from the bed, put on her clothes, and ran outside.

Jay shouted from the kitchen, "Where are you going, Angeline?"

"I'm going to Flying Moon Cottage, Jaybie. I'll be back soon."

Chapter 1930

Chapter 1930

Angeline came to Flying Moon Cottage and got a pregnancy test strip from Josephine that had been lying there for a very long time.

Josephine was beyond astounded. "Why do you need this, Sister Angeline?"

Angeline replied, "I suspect I'm pregnant."

Josephine stuffed the pregnancy test strip into Angeline's hand with great excitement and pushed her into the bathroom. "Hurry up and go in. I can't wait to know the result." After Angeline went in...

Two striking red lines appeared on the pregnancy test strip.

Angeline was absolutely dumbfounded when she saw those two red lines.

She was actually pregnant?

She was actually pregnant again?

Angeline broke out in a grin. This child was probably the fruit of her and Jaybie's labor on the night of their wedding.

She clutched the test strip and sauntered out of the bathroom.

Josephine asked emotionally, "So? How is it?"

Angeline giggled at Josephine like a fool and ran out with great excitement without responding to her question.

Jaybie must be the first one to know this good news.

After running for a period of time, she suddenly recalled the child in her belly and slowed down her pace lest she fell down and harmed the baby.

When Josephine saw Angeline going from running to walking slowly, she could already guess what the result was.

"No way! Is she really pregnant?"

When Angeline returned to Chateau de Selene, Jay had already finished preparing dinner and was sitting on the couch waiting for her.

Jay eyed Angeline suspiciously when he saw her walking slowly toward him, unlike the brisk pace she walked at before she left.

"Walk properly. Are you a puppet?"

Angeline stood there and stretched out her hands." Carry me there, darling."

Jay was even more puzzled now. "You don't know how to walk anymore?"

Despite that, he still stood up and walked toward Angeline compliantly.

Angeline clutched onto him carefully as Jay carried her to the table.

Angeline felt nauseous when she saw the scrumptious meal on this table. However, she must force herself to eat for the sake of her child. She ate a lot of fish and starchy food.

After eating, she slumped on the couch, trying her best to suppress the nauseating sensation surging from the pit of her stomach. When Jay walked out of the kitchen, Angeline ran to the bathroom and threw up.

Jay was so startled that even his complexion changed.

"What's wrong, Angeline?"

He ran over and saw Angeline throwing up all the food she had eaten, but she was smiling at him with tears in her eyes.

"I'm fine. This will be over soon."

Jay felt as though all his energy had seeped out of his body. He sauntered over to Angeline and embraced her tightly from behind, blaming himself. "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gotten mad at you and left your side. What's wrong, Angeline?"

Angeline looked at Jay with tears of happiness flowing down her cheeks.

Jay said obscurely, "I'll take you to the hospital, Angeline."

Angeline shook her head. "I'm not going."

Jay picked her up and brought her to the couch where he looked at her with a face filled with worry. He insisted, saying, "No way, you must go to the hospital."

Angeline shook her head. "The hospital can't cure me, Jaybie."

Jay paled with fright.

Angeline took out the pregnancy test strip from her pocket and stuffed it into Jay's palm.

Jay lowered his head when he felt a foreign object in his palm.

The pregnancy test strip felt extremely strange to him.

"What is this?"

Angeline said with a smile, "An omnipotent young master like you have no idea what this is? This is the best cure for my illness."

There was a look of confusion in Jay's eagle eyes...

Angeline laughed. "Ask the Grand Asia doctors." Having said that, Angeline got up and walked to her bedroom upstairs.
