He then raised Baby Robbie's hand and pointed the camera lens straight at Angeline whose head was lowered as she rolled the dough with great concentration.
Jay's falcon pupils contracted at the sight of the enormous dough in front of her.
Furious, Jay called out in a dull voice, "Angeline."
Angeline did not expect that he would call out her name and raised her head in a panic. She happened to meet his gaze this way.
"How can I help you, Sir Ares?" Since she could not escape, she bit the bullet and greeted him instead.
"The children are so young. Are you exploiting them for free labor?" He tried to fill the silence by making empty talks.
He was eagerly hoping that she could get the children t o labor for her since they were so vigorous and energetic anyway. She could do anything as long as she did not tire herself out.
Without refuting him, Angeline glanced at the children and said compliantly, "Take your brother and sister outside, Jens."
As the saying went, many went out for wool and came home shorn-that was exactly how defeated Jay felt.
Now that no one was there to help her, she would be even more exhausted, no?
Angeline asked Jay, "Will that do?" She sounded like a programmer, like a repeater that carried no emotions.
She looked just like a wooden puppet that had lost her former vivacious and liveliness.
When Jay saw Angeline in this state, he felt as though his heart had been pierced by a knife.
He felt like an executioner who had obliterated Angeline s most youthful vitality.
"Just hire a nanny, Angeline." He suggested in a hoarse voice.
Back then, he did not even have the heart to let her enter the kitchen, so why should she serve this ridiculous family now?
Angeline reminded him. "This is my family's business, Sir Ares."
Jay uttered with righteous indignation, "This is the golden period for my sons and daughter’s growth. I'm afraid that your cooking skills aren't good enough and you’ve failed to accommodate their nutritional needs. Therefore, I’ve made the decision to assign a top-notch chef for my children."
