Jay had never felt so much agony in his life.
It was so agonizing that he, a usually courageous man, dared not identify her body, nor did he attend her funeral or visit her grave...
He dared not go near anything that would remind him of her, and he had carefully repressed all his feelings.
He hid away the feelings of agony that were displayed in his eyes and resumed his usual calm and aloof manner. "You are not me, so how would you know what I feel?" He said in a low voice.
Rose pouted her luscious, beautiful lips slightly. 'If you knew what love was, why would you let Angeline Severe, my past self, to live in such oppressive conditions and die unreconciled?' She whispered in her heart.
The rest of the journey back to the mansion was done s o in silence. From a distance, they could see Josephine standing at the doorway dressed in a bright red low-cut dress and adorned in jewelry and accessories. Her elegant and noble demeanor crumbled when she saw Jay and Rose walking one in front of the other. She waved at them with both her arms and shouted excitedly.
"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
Jay's face suddenly became dangerously sullen. He
walked over to his sister with big strides and said with a darkened expression, "How many times I have t o tell you that she is not your sister-in-law?"
Josephine's mischievous gaze darted between the two people. She could visibly feel that for some reason, her brother was less rejective of Sister-in-law. Otherwise, he would not have willingly allowed Rose to appear within a ten-mile radius of him.
"Brother, Sister-in-law, why are both of you together?" Josephine asked with a curious smile.
Jay knew that his imaginative sister would conjure up some cliched urban rom-com story and therefore nipped it in the bud. "Rose is now working as a nanny at my house. When Robbie is closer to me, she will automatically leave."
