Angeline could not help but feel jealous of the female doctor as her gaze fell on Jay's slender long legs. She too wanted to admire his legs up close and touch them from time to time.
Jay’s eyes fell on the small figure by the doorframe, her lovestruck gaze tinting his eyes with mirth.
"Why are you back?" He pulled a long face.
Angeline entered the room. She had not dared to ask him straight up as there were outsiders in the room. Rooted in place, she did not know where to put her eyes.
Jay turned to the doctor. "Please leave us alone."
Following the doctor’s exit, Jay stared at Angeline." How can I help you?" he asked despite already knowing the answer.
Angeline stuttered slowly, "I... I'm here... to... uh... ask you... if you were the person who helped me-"
Impatient, Jay interrupted her with an answer, "It was _ H
me.
Afraid that doing so would lead her on and allow her t o dream, his chiseled features reverted to their habitual expression of indifference and unfamiliarity. "The ten billion is for child support. Take good care of my children."
Angeline replied, "It doesn't cost much to take care of the children. Let me pay you back..." Grand Asia was going through trying times, so they needed the money more than she did.
Jay responded, "That's not necessary. I want my children spoilt, understood?"
"Weren't you the one who said boys should be nurtured with hardships?" Angeline asked.
Jay pinched the bridge of his brow as he felt his head throb.
He had taken care of her with the idea that daughters needed to be spoiled rotten ever since she was a child, giving her only the best. However, being reincarnated into Rose Loyle's ignorant body had given her habits o f the poor.
“From the things they eat to what they wear, if it's not the best, I don’t want it. Understood?" he clarified.
Angeline continued to correct him in earnest, saying," Still, clothes that cost hundreds of thousands might not be as comfortable as t-shirts that cost less than a hundred-"
Jay warned her harshly, "Don't you dare dress my daughter in such cheap clothing.”
