"The Ares family has made a grave mistake, Jay. One that would undoubtedly endanger your family should such a secret come to light. I'm afraid not even the most insignificant members of your family would find themselves exempt from the impending bloodshed within Tourmaline Estate.
"So please, I'm begging you. Return Angeline to us."
Old Master Severe suddenly knelt on the floor in front of Jay.
Jay’s body shivered. It felt like he was a small boat that was thrown into the middle of the vast ocean, feeling lost and unsure of his direction.
Old Master Severe did not push further but gave him time to process all this information.
After some time, Jay weakly said, "I know what I need to do."
With that said, he turned his wheelchair around and left.
Old Master Severe looked at Jay's straight back and said, "Jay, I hope that you can walk out of the misty forest and see the light."
'Don't follow in your father's footsteps.’
When he opened the door, Angeline looked at him cutely like a little puppy. "Love, I’ve been waiting for a
long time for you. What took you so long?"
Jay pulled her up. His gaze when he looked at her was much more infatuated. He was reluctant to part with her. However, he knew that he did not have much time left with her.
He needed to appreciate and make full use of the remaining time they had together.
"Angeline, let's go home, okay?"
He hugged her, almost begging her.
"Love, didn't you say that you want to stay a night here?" Angeline gently held his head and smiled lovingly as if he was a boy who never grew up in her heart.
Jay nodded. "Okay."
At night when Madam Severe prepared a different room for Jay, Angeline curiously asked, "Mom, why can't Jaybie and I stay in the same room?"
Madam Severe chuckled and teased her daughter. " How shameless of you."
Angeline argued, saying, "We’re husband and wife, so we should be sharing a bed. What is so shameless about that?"
Madam Severe glanced at Old Master Severe who was i n the living room and her smile waned a little. "Your marriage with Jay is not legit yet."
