In the early morning of the next day, Angeline slept until noon before opening her eyes slowly. The unfamiliar environment reminded her immediately that she had been kidnapped by Jay.
However, the handcuffs on her hand had been undone. Angeline sat up in shock. Had Jay freed her?
She jumped out of the bed and walked out the door quietly while still barefooted.
The living room outside the bedroom was empty. The lights in the room were very dim, so Angeline could not see where the exit was. She stood in a daze in the middle of the living room.
At this time, she heard a voice coming from downstairs. "Parcel!"
Then, Finn cried out in surprise, "My God! Is the president going to open a shop selling baby items?"
Angeline felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Was she really pregnant? Did Jay buy maternity and baby products for her as well?
She shook her head and lamented. This guy would not be so kind.
"You're awake." Jay's cold voice came from behind her.
Angeline felt like she had been caught in the act. She shuddered and turned around, looking at Jay in guilt.
"Sir Ares, can I go now?” She figured since he had untied her, then he intended to let her go.
Jay's eyes landed on her bare feet as he frowned. "Put on your shoes and come to eat breakfast. We need to talk after."
Angeline could not read any emotions from his mechanical voice. She pouted and mumbled, "I don't want to eat. I don't have an appetite."
She was actually famished. However, she knew she would be violently punished once she had food in her stomach. She would vomit so badly that she would hate her life.
Jay rolled into the kitchen in his wheelchair and heard her stomach rumbling. He ordered angrily, "Are you trying to absorb the essence of the world so that you can become a god?"
Absorb the essence of the world?
Angeline burst out laughing. "Sir Ares, you even know what this means? I thought you don't believe in these things."
She walked into the dining room energetically and sat opposite him. Then, she started making fun of him.
Jay ate his breakfast elegantly. He was still drowsy from sleep, but at the same time, he looked as lazy as a cat. His current appearance hid his sharp edges and sinisterness perfectly.
He nodded slightly.
