"Mr. President, can I use your bathroom?” Angeline stood next door, asking pitifully.
The room next door was actually the kids’ room. Not only was it much narrower than the master bedroom, but it also did not have any amenities to speak of.
If one wanted to shower, they had to visit the master bedroom or use the public bathroom outside.
The weather that day was terrible.
The sound of rolling thunder combined with the howling wind and the pitter-patter of the rain made Angeline afraid of using the bathroom outside.
Jay looked up at the cute lady clad in pajamas. His gaze fell on her clean, white legs, and he gulped.
Even like this, it made him feel slightly overwhelmed.
He would not even dare to imagine her walking out of the bathroom. That would make him crumble.
"Go outside." He suppressed his habit of pampering her and finally rejected her after much struggle.
Angeline replied, "Mr. President, I'm scared."
Jay's gaze shifted to outside the window. The hallway was pitch black and there were only flashes of lightning momentarily lighting up the place, giving it a n eerie feeling all of a sudden.
Angeline was not afraid of lightning, but maybe she was afraid of the ghosts and spirits in Fragrant Vessel Court.
Jay’s indecisiveness swirled within him. He pitied his father for turning into a devil because of love, but his heart ached more for Angeline. She was young, yet she was already ruined twice by his father.
Once, she lost her life.
Another time, her face was destroyed.
This episode between them made him feel fearful. He was afraid that Angeline would hate him and everything about him.
"Mm..." Jay nodded. His emotions suddenly took a dark turn.
A glow flashed across Angelina's eyes as a bright smile beamed on her face. "Thank you, Mr. President."
She then rushed into the bathroom.
Soon, the sound of running water came from inside the bathroom.
