It was a cold atmosphere between Angeline and Jay.
Jay was afraid that he would accidentally let her know his feelings if he talked too much.
Angeline dared not speak at all for fear of offending this aristocrat who had a short fuse.
In the end, Angeline broke the silence between them. She said with sorrow, "I'm sorry. In the two years that I was gone, you must’ve been through a lot, yet I'm unable to be by your side as your wife."
Jay's deep gaze fell onto Angeline's regretful face.
Actually, he should be the one saying sorry. If it were not for him who upset her, how could her dirty scandal be twisted and spread by the Ares family?
She was supposed to be the mistress of the Severe family who was proudly put on a pedestal.
She was not supposed to be the poor girl who lost her life in a car accident, the one who was disfigured, forced to jump off a building, and then abandoned by her husband.
His sexy neck rumbled. The word 'Angeline' was stuck in his throat. It was the name which he had cried out countless times in his dreams, yet now he did not have the courage to say it before her.
"You didn’t do me wrong,” he said in a deep voice. The
nasally sound in his words almost gave away his true feelings.
Angeline then said, "I don't know why there's always a cruel and savage aura around you. In the past, you killed without mercy because you wanted to get rid of those vermin. But tonight, you’ve taken an innocent life away." She was cautious with her words.
Surprisingly, Jay was not angry at her. He simply looked at her with those eyes of his-They were like the light of a lighthouse in the middle of a dark ocean.
She would forever have no idea that all of that savagery and ruthlessness that he had was because of her.
If a calamity were to befall her, he would surely carve a path of prosperity for her before that calamity even came to pass.
He wanted her to be free from worry forever.
His ultimate goal was to put her on the top of the world so that she would be respected and looked up to by everyone else.
However, she did not like him being this cold and ruthless.
Jay was saddened all of a sudden...
