Angeline dragged her luggage along and left Fragrant Vessel Court in the midst of the pouring rain.
After Jenson watched the sorrowful image of her disappear behind the curtain of rain, he turned around and ran toward his daddy's room.
"Daddy, she’s gone!"
Jenson leaned on the door, his face was like Jay’s, cold with a trace of anger.
"Even if you were punishing her for not saying goodbye, just fake it, why did you have to drive her out in this awful weather?"
Jay sat on the bed, his legs naturally hanging by the bedside. His handsome face was clouded by a dark air.
"Whenever a mistake is made, punishment is due." he gritted his teeth and growled.
Jenson's sight shifted to the shards on the floor, he quickly understood that his daddy's outburst was not the result of petty resentment.
His mommy must have done something to have made him that angry.
Jenson walked in and bent over to pick up the broken pieces.
Jay said, "Let the housekeepers clean that up."
Jenson replied, "Ay, a few days ago you had something wrong with your head, you told the housekeepers to go to the outer courts."
The expression in Jay’s eyes sank, he remembered. He did not want anybody to disturb the alone-time between him and Angeline, thus he arranged the housekeepers to the outer courts.
Jenson said, "The house's cleanliness is not the issue, more importantly, if she's gone, who's going to take care of you?
Jay went silent.
Jenson asked the question that struck his heart. He was paralyzed now, but he was still a clean freak. If it were any other person who took care of his well being, he would feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
