Angeline picked up a cherry. As she was eating it, she complained while tearing, "It's cruel and inhumane. How could you do this to a pregnant woman?"
Jay asked her, "Didn't you refrain from eating and drinking when you were pregnant with Jens and the others?"
Angeline said, "I had to escape your pursuit then. I was squatting in the rented room and never knew when my next meal was. I was very nervous then, and since my energy was always shifting, my morning sickness was not so severe."
Jay was so ashamed that he could not show his face.
Angeline, however, missed that time very much. "It wasn’t like how it is now, being imprisoned by you and being forced to eat. You only care for the small issues and ignore the big ones."
She choked up as she spoke.
Jay,
It was obvious that she was the only one in his heart. He was forcing her to eat because he did not want her t o become too thin.
"I'm going out this afternoon. Tell the maid what you want to eat. Don't starve... my baby." He licked his lips. Those last words were full of meaning.
Angeline nodded repeatedly.
Jay saw a glimmer of expectation in her eyes... She was looking forward to him not being at home so that she could run amok.
At lunch, Angeline ate some rice for show.
Jay had hurried out after finishing his lunch.
Angeline was relieved.
She tried to find the exit of the house, but after slipping around upstairs and downstairs a few times, she could not find it.
She leaned against the window and looked outside. Outside was farmland and crops-an unfamiliar environment.
She did not know what godforsaken place Jay had caged her at.
She called for the maid. While smiling flatteringly at her, she then tried to dig for some information. "Do you know where this is?"
The maid shook her head. "I don't know. I come from another part of the country."
Angeline's mouth was wide open. Jay was too amazing.
