Ch. 641..650

Chapter 641

Storm looked at Jay with pleading eyes. "Sir, Ms. Severe said that she's going on a hunger strike..."

Jay raised his handsome eyebrows. Was this girl threatening him?

"Let her starve first then."

Jay figured that it was because he had indulged her too much last time that he had encouraged and fostered her hot temper, causing her to leave without saying goodbye, and even snuck off to have plastic surgery without even discussing such an important decision with him first. 1

He seemed to have made a mistake. From now on, he would switch to a different mode of discipline. He would switch from being indulgent to being strict, maybe that would help with correcting her hot temper. Having said that, Jay pushed the wheelchair into his bedroom.

Angeline yelled for a very long time but no one paid any attention to her.

Exhausted, she laid on the tiny bed next to her. Her disheveled hair that hung loose made her look like a ghost.

She did what she said and did not eat or drink the entire day...

When Jay walked in to see her the next day, she laid on the bed, her hair disheveled and hung loosely like a ghost. Weakly, she said, "Are you here to collect my body? It's still early. Wait a few more days." She had no intention to repent at all.

Jay pushed the wheelchair to her and lifted the black hair that was covering her face.

Angeline sneered at him. "What's wrong, can't stand seeing a beautiful woman like me dying? Don't worry, a beauty like me won't look too bad even if I die."

Jay noticed how tender and rosy her face was, how full of vigor her tone sounded, quite unlike someone who had been starving for a day and night.

He actually felt quite relieved.

"How many procedures did this face of yours go through?" he asked.

If this was back then, Angeline would never tell him for fear that he would be heartbroken when he learned about it. Now, however, Angeline misunderstood thinking that Jay did not love her anymore, hence she did not hold back at all and blurted out, "Uncountable."

Frost lingered in Jay's eyes. "Is it worth it to suffer so much for this face?"

Tears welled up in Angeline's eyes instantly.

Initially, she thought that all the tortures and hardships she suffered would be worth it as long as he loved her.

Now, however, she felt immensely aggrieved seeing how he had cast her aside as worthless.

"This is my business, stay out of it!" She exclaimed in a fit of pique.

Jay was furious. "Who can control you then?"

Angeline held her tongue.

The man she went dating with last night popped up in his mind and he suddenly went berserk. "Speak!"

Angeline was a paper tiger, turning weak when Jay was strong and turning strong when Jay was weak.

When Jay lost his temper, she would retreat back into her tortoise shell.

"You didn't disclose your identity to me or the children when you've returned for so long and chose to let the children misunderstand you. What exactly are you thinking about?" Jay recalled the silly things she did lately and flew into a rage.

"I have no choice but to do so!" Angeline gave herself a n excuse.

Jay turned his wheelchair to her and faced her directly. He could clearly see the guilty look on her face. "Did someone put a knife on your throat?"

Angeline muttered, "No." "Then why hide your identity?"

Angeline's eyes were pink. She answered weakly, "I'm afraid of you-"

"What are you afraid of?" Jay's patience was running out as he listened to how reluctant she was when she answered his questions.

"I left without saying goodbye and went for plastic surgery because I was afraid that you will get angry, and even more afraid that you won't want me anymore." Finally, she poured her heart out and said all the things that she had been bottling up inside all this time.

All of a sudden, relief washed over her.

She then looked at Jay fearlessly, wearing a look on her face that seemed as though life gave her no pleasure, and death gave her no bitterness.

"Why did you do silly things like that if you're afraid? Are you out of your mind or are you plain stupid?" Jay was furious.

Aggrieved, Angeline's tears flowed like a broken tap. All of a sudden, she lost control of her emotions and started scolding him for the crimes he had done. "It's clear that Angeline is the only one who has a place in your heart, that's why you can't bring yourself to accept Rose, that's also why you used Angeline's identity for both marriage certificates. I just want to be the person whom you can accept wholeheartedly."

Chapter 642

Chapter 642

Jay froze.

She had discovered the secret about the marriage certificate?

"Is that the reason why you chose to undergo plastic surgery?"

He was extremely angry and wanted to chastise her severely for leaving without saying goodbye. However, after hearing what she had to say, he lost the courage to chastise her. She had done it only because she cared for him.

However...

If she cared for him, why would she go on a date with a strange man?

"That night, who was the man you were on a date with?" Jay asked with a fierce expression on his face.

"I can't tell you." Angeline remembered the agreement she had with Peter. She did not want to be someone who broke promises.

Jay's heart, which had just been soothed, was thrown into the sea of doubt once more. He felt restless and anxious.

"Angeline Severe, why did you come back?" Jay was about to lose his mind.

This girl made advances on him while flirting with other men. This was way past his moral boundaries.

Angeline decided to let go of everything and be controlled by her emotions. It was way too tiring to be considerate of him anymore.

She sat up slowly on the bed, her hair cascading onto her black-colored gown like a waterfall. Her obsidiancolored eyes glinted like an escaped wild horse's, seemingly invasive. "Would you like to know why?" she asked.

"Stop beating around the bush!" Jay roared.

He felt that he must have overthought things, mistakenly attributing her return to him. Ever since he learned about the man, he had grown less confident. Perhaps she returned solely for the children. If she had the guts to say she came back for the children, he would have her ripped to pieces.

Angeline looked at him slyly, her eyes tinged with hints of resignation that would make anyone's heart hurt with pity.

Suddenly, she cupped his face in her hands and pressed her lips ferociously against his....

She divulged all her dissatisfaction and aggravation to him.

Jay was stunned...

That was an unexpected answer.

However, it succeeded in soothing his agitation.

The coldness in his heart melted as he let her go to town on his lips.

She had destroyed the iciness in his heart as well. Suddenly, he felt that it was a waste of time to be bothered about uncertainties.

At least her reason for undergoing plastic surgery was him.

She had also returned because of him.

His hand gently covered her back. The gown exposed her back where the skin was extremely fair and gentle to the touch. It was enough to make his heart flutter. Angeline took things a step further...

Finally, the shackles somehow fell onto the floor, and she tumbled onto the sheets with him.

When they were finished, her mind blanked out as she looked at the hickeys on his body.

Holy sh*t, what had she done?

Her first instinct was to get dressed and escape.

Jay growled, saying, "Get back here."

Angeline meekly made her way back to him.

Gulping, she said meekly, "Sorry, I lost control of myself."

Chapter 643

Chapter 643

"Thought you could leave after finishing?" The corners of Jay's lips curled upward as he looked at the woman who was bowing meekly and admitting to her mistake after committing a wrong. Raising her eyes, Angeline said seriously, "I'm not like that. If you're willing to become my responsibility, I can take care of you too."

Jay's gaze fell onto her gown. "You used my card to pay for the gown, right?"

Angeline's face reddened immediately.

She had just generously said that she would take care of him, yet reality was giving her a harsh slap in the face. In the end, it was he who was taking care of her.

"Clean this place up," Jay said exasperatedly as he took a look around him.

Desperate to please, Angeline nodded. "Alright."

When she finished cleaning, Jay said, "Take me back to my room. I want to have a shower."

Angeline had no choice but to dress him, wheel him back to his room, and assist him in taking a shower.

"Do you want to take a shower too?" he asked abruptly.

Angeline was just about to beg him to let her use the bathroom. She had not expected him to ask the

question without needing to be prompted and was so happy that she could not stop nodding.

"Thank you, Sir Ares!"

"Do you have any clothes?" he asked with a smirk on his face.

It was then that Angeline remembered that she had left her luggage at Josie's residence when she left City North Experimental Kindergarten that morning.

"Sir Ares, please lend me a change of clothes," she begged, abandoning all sense of dignity.

An unreadable gaze flashed through Jay's eyes." Assist me in my shower first."

Angeline did not think too much about it as she hurriedly followed him into the bathroom.

The bathtub was so huge that it was like a miniature swim pool.

Jay abruptly latched onto Angeline's wrist after he entered, tugging on it lightly. She fell into the bathtub as a result.

"Sir Ares, what are you doing?" She accidentally inhaled a mouthful of water. As she resurfaced out of the water, she attempted to escape, but Jay confined her tightly within his arms. "Don't move," he ordered.

"It was fun bullying me, wasn't it?" he asked with an evil grin on his face.

Angeline was on the verge of tears. "Sir Ares, I'm sorry."

"It's too late to be sorry now."

He bullied her again and again. In the end, she lay exhausted in the bathtub, staring lifelessly at the ceiling as she sighed. "Turns out you got to repay the favor sooner or later." "Did you just realize that?" Jay teased.

Angeline felt that something was not right. She racked her brains for a long time before asking abruptly, "Sir Ares, have you forgiven me?"

Jay had his back against the wall, and his eyes were closed in relaxation when the waves she made crashed against his face.

He did not answer, but his handsome face was oddly serene.

Angeline grinned toothily, her smile as beautiful as a flower.

Then, she submerged herself into the water like a mermaid and swam over to him before saying gently, " Love!"

Jay opened his seductive amorous eyes. His dark hair was drenched, and water was dripping onto his elegant, perfect face, further increasing his compulsion.

He looked at her steadily before nodding. That counted as a response.

Angeline was as happy as a child, abruptly grabbing onto his neck as she pressed her lips onto his.

"Love!"

"Be a good girl."

"Alright."

When they left the bathroom, Angeline realized she had a problem. She did not have a clean bra.

She put on a bathrobe that exposed her long, pale legs. The sight of her sent all the blood in Jay's body rushing down south.

In the end, Jay made a call to Josephine and had her bring Angeline's clothes over.

Angeline changed into the clothes Josephine had brought over and prepared to leave for the restaurant with Jay where they would be having dinner with the children. Josephine refused to leave, and the servants had to prepare another place for her.

Angeline was in a great mood all through dinner. Her eyes and brows curved in happiness, and she could not stop herself from giggling.

Thus, Baby Zetty asked Baby Robbie, "Do you think Miss Loyle has been tortured to the point of insanity by Daddy?"

Chapter 644

Chapter 644

Baby Robbie was extremely worried too. "It looks like i t. Look at how foolishly she's grinning."

Jenson looked closely at his mommy only to realize that there was a naive expression on her face. The usual range of expressions was gone from her face, which caused his worry to increase. Turning to look at Jay, he asked accusingly, "Daddy, what did you do to her?"

Jay was very used to Angeline's foolish grins. When they were younger, this naive grin of contentment would appear on her face whenever her wishes were fulfilled.

"Ignore her. Eat," Jay said.

Josephine was still worried about Angeline. "Sis Angeline, do you still want to elope with me?"

Angeline shook her head. "You'd better elope with Zayne. I'm afraid your brother would kill me otherwise."

Josephine came to her conclusion. "Oh no, seems like she's foolish now."

The children took turns to determine if Angeline's foolishness was part of a pretense or real.

Baby Zetty asked her, "Miss, do you still remember who I am?"

Angeline squished Baby Zetty's pink, delicate face as she answered, "You're my Baby Zetty. Your name's Rozette Loyle."

Jay corrected her. "From today onward, call her Rozette Ares!"

Angeline protested, saying, "Why does she have to take your surname? Is there anything wrong with her taking my surname?"

"What's your surname?" Jay asked her a question in return.

"Loyle!"

"Hmm? What's your surname?"

Angeline came to a realization but still refused to comply. "Well, she still can't take the surname Ares. Can't she take Severe as her surname?" Jay nodded. "Sure."

Baby Zetty was infuriated. "Why should I take your surname? I have my daddy and mommy. You don't get a say in my surname. I think you're insane."

When Baby Zetty finished speaking, she ran upstairs in a huff and shut her door with a bang.

Angeline trembled in fear.

Then, she directed her gaze toward Baby Robbie and said in a cutesy tone, "Baby Robbie, why don't you take my surname?"

Baby Robbie, who was drinking water, sprayed water all over Angeline's face. "Miss, I think you should see a psychiatrist." With that, Baby Robbie fled from the scene as well. Josephine grabbed a napkin and wiped the liquid away from Angelina's face.

Angelina looked steadfastly at Jenson as she said, " Jens, why don't you take my surname?"

Jenson replied, "From Jenson Ares to Jenson Severe, do you think it sounds good?"

Angeline gave it a thought before she nodded and said, "Jenson Severe. You're right, it doesn't sound good."

Then, she sighed. "I gave birth to three kids, yet none of them want to take my surname. How saddening."

Jay reminded her. "You haven't reunited with them yet!"

Angeline snapped out of it and slapped herself on the head. "How could I have forgotten about that!"

Josephine stared at her blankly. "Sis Angeline, are you sure you haven't lost your mind?"

Jay gave Josephine a deathly stare. "You'll address her as 'Sister-in-law'."

Looking at Josephine's adorably baffled expression, Angeline could not help but lean forward and prepare to kiss her on the face.

She was not prepared for Jay to tug her on the arm away from Josephine.

"Watch yourself."

Angeline made a funny face at Josephine. "Josephine, I'm alright. I'm just so happy. Your brother is no longer high and mighty. He's willing to be nice to me again." Josephine was at a loss for words. "So, I just witnessed a bunch of PDA?"

She hurriedly sneaked away.

Angeline decided to reveal her actual identity to her children.

However, when she walked languidly upstairs and knocked on each bedroom door, no one would pay attention to her.

"Baby Zetty, it's me, Mommy."

"Baby Robbie, it's me, Mommy."

"Jens, it's me, Mommy."

None of the children would answer her.

Chapter 645

Chapter 645

Angeline walked back downstairs with a downcast expression on her face. Holding on to Jay's arm, she complained, "Why won't they pay attention to me?"

"It's alright, I'll pay attention to you," Jay answered carelessly.

Angeline buried her face between his knees as she said grumpily, "Jaybie, you're still the person who treats me the best."

Jay ruffled her hair gently. "Did you just realize that?"

"Yes." Angeline placed her cheek against his palm.

Jay raised his eyes to look at the doors of the children's rooms which were all tightly shut. He wanted to say to her, 'You forgot to tell them that you're Rose Doyle, their mommy. The children think you're a new mommy. Naturally, they'd ignore you.'

However, when he saw how adorable she looked as she lay atop him, he suppressed the urge to tell her the truth.

"Angeline, let's go for a walk," he said, suddenly suggesting.

Angeline pushed him toward the door.

Today, the sun was shining in the sky, and the temperature was perfect.

A wonderful chemical reaction occurred when the reserved and chilly Jay Ares was together with the stunning Angeline Severe.

The chilliness that emanated from Jay melted, and his face, which usually had a stern expression on it, gradually gave way to one of tender affection. The shallow smile that flooded his face made him look boyish and even more attractive.

Angeline was in charge of wheeling him. She would occasionally pinch his shoulders playfully, or stretch her hand across his neck to caress his cheek.

Jay felt nothing but fondness toward her restless hands.

Jay and Angeline stopped moving forward when they reached the carved bench under the blue jacaranda tree.

She massaged his legs gently, working like a busy bee.

"With my massages, you'll be able to get back onto your feet." Angeline gazed at Jay, her innocent eyes flooded with a loving expression. Jay answered, "Why should I stand up? This is fine."

Angeline,"..."

She could not wrap her head around it. What good was there in being immobile?"

He gently pinched her petite nose when he saw her confused expression. "This way, I can enjoy your

special services."

Teasingly, he added, "Like this morning."

Angeline's face turned as red as a tomato when the events of the morning resurfaced in her mind.

Then, she buried her face into his chest.

Jay could not help laughing.

Sometimes, he had no idea how Angeline could possess so many conflicting traits that could not stop him from thinking about her.

For example, she was a shy person, but sometimes, she was so bold and open that it was scary.

She was as timid as a mouse, yet she had the guts to scold him.

Angeline got over herself and raised her stark red face. "I'll get you back on your feet."

Jay saw the glint of determination in her eyes. Smiling, he nodded and said, "Then we'll work together."

"Alright."

Suddenly, a shy male voice sounded.

"Miss Severe?"

Angeline looked in the direction where the voice had come from. It was Hiroshi Titus, one of Sycamore Annex's esteemed guests. "Young Master Titus?" Angeline said in bewilderment.

She forgot that she had flirted with him.

Meanwhile, Jay's eyes turned cold, like a lion who had discovered an invader in his territory.

Chapter 646

Chapter 646

"Jaybie, give me a minute." Angeline let go of Jay's hand and turned around to leave.

Jay suddenly grabbed ahold of her hand. Angeline turned and heard him warn in a cold voice. "You're allowed three sentences with him. Then he has to go."

Fingers fluttering, an awkward expression surfaced o n Angelina's face. "Don't you think... Three sentences is a bit too little?"

She could not think of how she could send a person away with just three sentences. How could it be enough?

Jay said coldly, "Young Master Titus! I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else! See you never!"

Angeline was stunned. "Oh, just these three sentences? Would they work?"

Angeline walked half-heartedly toward Hiroshi Titus.

Hiroshi gazed at the approaching Angeline. Her beauty and pure temperament had settled with time, further increasing her charisma. Hiroshi felt the pace of his heart increase.

"Miss... Severe?" Hiroshi became extremely nervous when faced with someone as charismatic as Angeline, which contributed to his stutter.

The expression on Jay's face was as cold as ice.

It was as if his coveted treasure had been discovered by someone else. It turned his mood extremely sour.

"Young Master Titus." Angeline had not forgotten about the three sentences Jay allowed her!

"Miss Severe, you asked me if I remembered you the other day at Sycamore Annex. My sister was present, thus I didn't dare to take the liberty of answering you. Today, I have come to tell you that I do remember you. I've had a crush on you for so long, so of course, I remember you. How could I forget about you? You mentioned that we could go out for a drink when we had the time to do so. I'm free today, so I've made the trip here to invite you to grab a drink with me. What do you think?" Hiroshi spoke a little incoherently.

The expression on Angelina's face grew awkward. "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else."

Hiroshi's jaw dropped...

"You mean, you're not Angeline Severe?

"I knew that you weren't her. She's been dead for so long."

Hiroshi's discouragement and despair flickered away, and soon, he said longingly, "That's alright. It doesn't matter if you're not her. I still like you a lot!"

At a loss for words, Angeline rolled her eyes at him." See you. Oh, no, see you never!"

Hiroshi looked frustrated. "Are you sure you don't want to think about it anymore?"

Angeline waved her hand at him!

Hiroshi wanted to say something to bring Angeline back to him, but then he caught sight of Jay's murderous expression. Even though he was wheelchair-bound, he still chilled him to the bone. "F*ck off!" Jay bellowed.

Terrified, Hiroshi ran off.

Angeline returned to Jay's side, in awe of his three sentences. "Your three sentences were so useful."

Jay did not return her smile. "In the future, be less flirtatious when you go out.'

Angeline pouted. "Well, if you hadn't rejected me, would I have needed to use my beauty?"

Only then did Jay realize that her odd behavior of winking at Hiroshi the other day... Was to test him?

"In the future, quit using these dumb moves," he ordered.

Then, he announced solemnly, "Your love is in love with you! No need for testing!"

Angeline dove into his arms and replied, "Alright."

Jay smiled.

Hiroshi was deep in thought, for what you lost on the swings you gained on the roundabouts.

Angeline had rejected him. He could not afford to lose the second lady of the Ares family.

Thus, he turned and begged his older sister, Yumi Titus, "Sis, I've agreed to the marriage between Josephine and me! I just wanted to know what would benefit me if I were to become the son-in-law of the Ares family."

Yumi replied, "After your marriage with the second lady, the Titus and Ares families will officially become one. We'll assist Jack Ares in dealing with Grand Asia first, and after Grand Asia goes bankrupt, you and I will work together to defeat Jack Ares. This way, the Titus family will be able to establish dominance." 1 A greedy glint appeared in the depths of Yumi's eyes.

Chapter 647

Chapter 647

Hiroshi asked in wonder, "Sis, how did you know that there's a rift between Jack Ares and Jay Ares?"

Yumi smiled mysteriously. "That's none of your business. All you need to do next is to throw all your efforts into getting Josephine Ares to fall in love with you. Your sister will reward you with great benefits." Hiroshi rubbed his chin, a sinister smile creeping onto his face. "Flirting? That's what I'm best at."

In the evening, Josephine spent her time at Flying Moon Cottage.

The maids had prepared dinner for her. Tonight's dinner was slightly different from the others, for there was no soup. However, there was a bottle of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild.

Josephine took the bottle of wine and looked at it. It was a bottle of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild from 1887. She smiled as she said, "Such an expensive bottle of red wine should be sent to Sycamore Annex. The reunion between big brother and big sister triumphs their marriage. They could have some wine to cultivate the mood."

Then, she stuffed the bottle of red wine into Mrs. Zonder's arms. "Send it to them."

Sycamore Annex. 2

Jay had prepared a grand candle-lit dinner at the pavilion in the back courtyard. Colorful rose petals were arranged into two heart shapes and thick candles were lined to enclose the flowers.

A pink canopy was draped over the pavilion as well, enclosing the area to be even more private and flirtatious.

Jay had a white tuxedo on and looked as dignified as a prince in a manga. He looked at the person across him who was dressed glamorously as well. Angeline had a fiery-red gown which enhanced her delightful curves to become even more seductive.

The two of them stared at each other affectionately. Angeline was growing shyer under Jay's seductive gaze. In the end, she lowered her head shyly.

"Bashful?"

"Who... Who's bashful? That word doesn't exist in my dictionary," Angeline retorted.

"Angeline, look at me."

Angeline lifted her head, which was buried so low that it was almost on the floor, to look at Jay.

"Angeline, I love you," Jay said seriously as he looked reverently into her eyes.

Angeline's ears burned and her face became maroon in color. Nodding her head shyly, she said, "I know!"

Jay was not satisfied. "I already said I love you. Don't

you have something to say in return?"

Angeline stared at him blankly. "What should I say?"

Jay gaped at her. "I thought you were on the right track, but it turns out you're still a blank canvas."

Did he think she lacked experience?

Angeline could not stand being provoked.

"Jaybie, I love you too."

Jay, "..."

Although she had said it huffily, he could still feel the love in her speech. Thus, he was still happy.

Little would Jay know that her saying 'I love you' would be the start to everything else. Immediately after that, Angelina's flirting techniques were immediately cranked up a notch. "I've only loved you in my past life, and I'll only love you for this life and the next."

Jay,

His heart rate increased inexplicably.

Angeline leaned forward, positioning herself near Jay's face.

Her breathtaking thinly made-up face, combined with her hair which was casually pulled back with several hair ornaments, teetered her temperament between enchanting and seductive.

"I'm willing to be your pet cat and the pendant on your body. I'm willing to be your legs, your ribs, your eyes, your hair strands..."

Jay felt as if his heart was going to beat out of his chest. He abruptly reached out to hook his arm around her neck. "Just be my wife."

Angeline smiled charmingly.

Jay's heart hurt when he saw how happy she was. Softly, he said, "Angeline, I owe you a proper wedding."

Angeline blinked dumbly before saying thoughtfully," Haven't we already married twice?"

Jay said in regret, "Although they were both weddings with legal effect, you had the face of Rose Loyle when we appeared in front of the media during our wedding. Thus, everyone in Imperial Capital thinks m y wife is Rose Loyle and not Angeline Severe."

Chapter 648

Chapter 648

"My Angeline deserves the grandest wedding. She should not have to marry me in such a pitiful manner," Jay said solemnly.

Angeline said seriously, "I don't feel pitiful. There's a lot of money in the bank card you gave me. So much that I won't be able to finish spending it in a lifetime." The expression on Jay's face darkened unnaturally when money was mentioned...

"What do you want?"

"Jaybie, the bank card can act as my dowry," Angeline replied smilingly.

Jay looked at her silently before he pulled her chin toward him and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Well then, what are you going to give me?" Angeline's eyes sparkled as she anticipated her gift from her love.

"Myself!" Jay said as he pointed toward himself.

Angeline nearly choked on her saliva. As she coughed violently, she muttered, "That's not as good as money."

Jay pushed her away and glared at her angrily. "You dislike me?"

Angeline laughed dryly. "Love, I need the money."

"So I'm not important?" Jay would never have thought that there would be a day when he was jealous of

money.

Angeline shook her head. "Of course, my love is more important than money, hut..."

Her eyes glinted mischievously.

Jay had a feeling that he would not like whatever she said next.

As expected, Angeline's next words nearly caused him to burst a vessel.

"If I want my love, I can just pounce on him any time I please."

Jay,

Jay had no idea how to educate this shameless girl. He grabbed the bottle of Chateau Lafite-Rothschild on the table, opened it, and began chugging. "Love, aren't you allergic to alcohol?"

Angeline snatched the wine bottle away from him and smiled as she said, "This is some good stuff.

Josephine gave it to me." She lifted her head and began drinking when she finished speaking.

Jay thought to himself, 'This girl is already so bold and unconstrained when sober. Who knows what sort of indecencies she'll get up to under the influence of alcohol?" Angeline felt a gush of warmth settle all over her body after drinking the wine. She rubbed her body against his without restraint.

Sitting in his lap, she nuzzled, cuddled, and nibbled at him.

Her attachment toward him was both natural and influenced by alcohol. Jay chose to ignore the effects of alcohol.

"Love..." she called out to him in a pleading tone.

He could not bear to refuse her...

The canopy fluttered as the gentle breeze blew.

They were like two flaming balls of fire, desperate to mold themselves into each other. They would not stop until they were both ashes.

In the end, Jay drifted into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

"Goodnight, love."

Angeline gave him a light kiss on the forehead after she had finished dressing him.

Then, she picked up her clothes and dressed at lightning speed before rushing off toward Josephine's Flying Moon Cottage.

There was something wrong with that bottle of wine.

Chapter 649

Chapter 649

Mrs. Zonder, one of the housekeepers at Flying Moon Cottage, was the one who had sent the wine over.

Thus, it was obvious that she had been instructed by Josephine to do so.

Angeline was smart. She knew that Josephine would not harm her, but whoever gave Josephine the wine had done so with ill intentions. Angeline was worried about Josephine's safety.

At Flying Moon Cottage, Josephine had just finished eating dinner when she felt her entire body heating up and going limp.

Josephine lay limply on the couch as she said, "Holy s h*t, I'm becoming horny right after I've eaten?"

The door creaked as a man entered.

The color on Josephine's face paled as she realized who it was.

"Hiroshi Titus, what are you doing here?"

Hiroshi stood in front of Josephine and used a hand to lift her chin lightly as he said with a twisted smile on his face. "Second Lady, I've come to accompany you."

Josephine realized that a drug to render her unconscious had been added to her meal. She also understood why Hiroshi was here. Anger flamed within her. "Hiroshi Titus, how dare you drug me?"

Hiroshi pulled her into his arms and held her tightly a s he said, "Second Lady, don't be angry. I'm just too in love with you. Don't worry, as long as you treat me kindly tonight, I, Hiroshi Titus, will not treat you badly."

"Shameless."

Instead of becoming angry, Hiroshi laughed. "What a fiery woman. You're just my type."

Holding Josephine in his arms, he began nibbling at her.

"Stop it. Aren't you afraid that my parents won't forgive you when they find out?"

Hiroshi laughed and said, "Your parents would love to see the two of us getting along."

Josephine felt her heart drop to the pit of her stomach. "My parents know about this?"

"You think I could've touched these dishes without their permission?" Thinking that they would be a family after tonight, Hiroshi did not watch his words as he spoke to Josephine. The effects of the drugs were growing stronger.

Josephine had no energy left to fight back and was forced to give up. Tears streamed down her face. "Why are they treating me this way?"

Hiroshi picked her up. Josephine did not know what to do except utter a prayer.

"Almighty God, please send a savior my way. Help me castrate this piece of trash, and I'll sing your praises every day."

"Second Lady, no one will come to save you. Your parents have already found a reason to bring everyone outside away from their posts," Hiroshi said with a smirk.

He tore her shirt apart and said admiringly, "You have a pretty good figure."

Reaching out, he was about to pinch Josephine when a clear, lilting voice rang out.

"Stop!"

Hiroshi turned around in shock and saw Angeline, looking as beautiful as a fairy in her long red gown, burst in.

"Sis Angeline, you came just in time." Josephine burst into tears of happiness.

Angeline kneed Hiroshi onto the ground and grabbed the ropes on the side table, tying him up securely. Her actions were as fluid as water as she completed her task without breaking a sweat. "How dare you bully my Josephine? Hiroshi Titus, where the f*ck did you get your nerve from?" Angeline began kicking him.

Josephine said, "Sis Angeline, help me get dressed. Let me take care of him myself. I'll change my last name if I don't render him useless today."

Angeline walked to the bed and could not help peeking when she saw Josephine's chest. Clicking her tongue, she said, "Such a pretty figure. No wonder you caught the attention of this scumbag."

Speechless, Josephine said weakly, "You're even more perverted than those scumbags."

"They're so big, even I'm jealous." Angeline teased as she helped Josephine dress.

"Dare to show me yours?" Josephine asked.

Angeline laughed as she said, "Mine aren't as big as yours."

"Then you'll have to make my brother work harder." Josephine teased.

Angeline said, "He's already working very hard."

Josephine pouted. "Dang, you just reunited with my brother and you've already given yourself to him?"

Angeline said huffily, "How dare you! If it weren't for the wine you sent over, I wouldn't have been so embarrassing tonight. I bullied your brother so much last night. I don't know how I'm going to make it up to him tomorrow."

Josephine asked, "What do you need to make up for? Is he trying to act pitiful even though he got a bargain?"

Angeline helped Josephine to her feet. Josephine then grabbed a dagger and glared at Hiroshi. "Hiroshi Titus, I have a good figure, don't I?"

Hiroshi nearly wet himself in fear. "Miss Ares, I'm

sorry. Please, I beg you, please forgive me. I swear that I'll never harass you again in the future."

Angeline exchanged a look with Josephine. In an interrogatory manner, she said to Hiroshi, "We can let you go, but you must be honest. Who told you to do this? Who helped you get into Flying Moon Cottage?"

An unreadable expression appeared on Hiroshi's face.

Josephine placed her foot on Hiroshi's crotch. "If you don't tell me, I'll render you useless."

It was a good thing that her strength had not fully returned yet, else Hiroshi would be done for.

Yet, Hiroshi was already petrified by Josephine's actions. Spoiled since birth, he was afraid of pain, so he immediately begged for mercy.

"I'll tell, I'll tell."

Thus, he told them exactly why his sister had instigated him to pursue Josephine.

"My sister wants us to go beyond the point of return. She said Grand Old Master Ares would make the decision for me and have you become betrothed to me. The Ares and Titus families could then work together to conquer Grand Asia."

He omitted the part where the Titus family would throw over the Ares family.

Fear blossomed in Angeline and Josephine's hearts as they listened to him.

Jack Ares was in cahoots with Yumi Titus to conquer Grand Asia, and he had chosen to sacrifice his daughter, Josephine Ares.

Josephine was traumatized upon hearing this. "My father... How could he treat my big brother and me this way?"

Hiroshi muttered, "My two beautiful ladies, I've already told you everything. Could you let me go now?"

Angeline felt that this would affect Josephine's honor. Besides, she did not want to make things worse than they already were, so she let Hiroshi go with a warning. Josephine flopped onto her bed, traumatized.

Angeline comforted her. "Josie, don't be upset. You just got a pair of horrible parents. I've gone through the same thing before!"

Josephine looked at Angeline and remembered how her parents refused to acknowledge her when she was Rose Boyle. Back then, she was as lowly as a tuft of grass in the dust. Yet, she was stubborn and never gave up.

Inspired by Angeline, Josephine became enlightened.

"Sis Angeline, why don't you sleep over tonight and have a chat with me."

Angeline lay down next to her, fully dressed. "Sure. What do you want to talk about?"

"Why do you think my father is targeting my brother and me all of a sudden?"
