"The Severe family has wronged Josephine and made her go through such torture." Angeline sniffled.
Jay was stunned.
He saw how wronged Josephine felt and the pain she was going through. While he was heartbroken for Josephine, it also made him think about Angeline.
Back when Angeline approached him using Rose’s identity, he had acted coldly toward her just like how Zayne acted toward Josephine.
At that time, she must have felt so helpless and in pain.
Jay reached out his hand, gently ruffled her hair, and suddenly asked, "Angeline, is it quite a torture for you t o have fallen in love with me?" He was feeling empathic.
Angeline looked at him with eyes so bright like an innocent deer.
"Not at all." She suddenly smiled.
Jay chuckled. "You don’t usually complain much."
Angeline cooed, "I'm telling the truth.”
"With how I've treated you in the past, you must've cried buckets of tears already,” Jay commented sadly.
Angeline teased herself, saying, "I've got an
overdeveloped tear duct, hence I'm a natural crybaby." "I'll never let you feel wronged again in the future." Jay solemnly looked into her eyes as if he was giving her his oath.
"Hmm." Angeline nodded.
After Zayne watched Josephine leave, he moodily returned while looking lost. He was standing in front o f Angeline's room. "Angel, could you come out? I've got something I'd like to ask you."
There was a sense of anger in Angeline's gaze as she huffed. "I'm not free."
