Chapter 679


    "The Ares family has made a grave mistake, Jay. One that would undoubtedly endanger your family


    should such a secrete to light. I''m afraid not even the most insignificant members of your family


    would find themselves exempt from the impending bloodshed within Tourmaline Estate.


    "So please, I''m begging you. Return Angeline to us."


    Old Master Severe suddenly knelt on the floor in front of Jay.


    Jay’s body shivered. It felt like he was a small boat that was thrown into the middle of the vast


    ocean, feeling lost and unsure of his direction.


    Old Master Severe did not push further but gave him time to process all this information.

    After some time, Jay weakly said, "I know what I need to do."


    With that said, he turned his wheelchair around and left.


    Old Master Severe looked at Jay''s straight back and said, "Jay, I hope that you can walk out of the


    misty forest and see the light."


    ''Don''t follow in your father''s footsteps.’


    When he opened the door, Angeline looked at him cutely like a little puppy. "Love, I’ve been waiting


    for a


    long time for you. What took you so long?"


    Jay pulled her up. His gaze when he looked at her was much more infatuated. He was reluctant to


    part with her. However, he knew that he did not have much time left with her.


    He needed to appreciate and make full use of the remaining time they had together.


    "Angeline, let''s go home, okay?"


    He hugged her, almost begging her.


    "Love, didn''t you say that you want to stay a night here?" Angeline gently held his head and smiled


    lovingly as if he was a boy who never grew up in her heart.


    Jay nodded. "Okay."


    At night when Madam Severe prepared a different room for Jay, Angeline curiously asked, "Mom,


    why can''t Jaybie and I stay in the same room?"


    Madam Severe chuckled and teased her daughter. " How shameless of you."


    Angeline argued, saying, "We’re husband and wife, so we should be sharing a bed. What is so


    shameless about that?"


    Madam Severe nced at Old Master Severe who was i n the living room and her smile waned a


    little. "Your marriage with Jay is not legit yet."


    Before Angeline could argue back, Zayne and Shirley happened to walk past and heard Angeline''s


    shameless argument. Zayne stuck his tongue out at her and said, "Shameless."


    Angeline looked over at Zayne and Shirley''s tightly intertwined hands and shot back with


    displeasure," Pot calling the kettle ck."


    Zayne worsened his antics by pulling Shirley into his arms and gleefully saying, "She’s the


    daughter-inw o f the Severe family, so of course she sleeps with me. You''re the daughter-inw


    of the Ares family, so when youe back to your maternal home, you can’t sleep with your


    husband. This is our custom, don''t you know?"


    Angeline was shocked that her mouth widened into arge circle as she said discontentedly, "We''re


    now in the modern age. Such practices have long been abolished."


    Zayne said to Madam Severe, "Mom, just listen to what Angeline said. She wants to abolish the


    customs over a man. Such audacity is very much admirable."


    Zayne’s words made Madam Severe and Shirleyugh till their stomach hurts.


    Angeline felt angrily embarrassed that she covered her face and ran into Jay’s room, shutting the


    door with a loud bang...


    Jay smiled joyfully because he had overheard her argument with Zayne while they were outside.


    He raised his wrist to look at the time on his watch, then he teased her. "We can still make it back to


    Imperial Capital."


    Angeline''s cheeks flushed redder. "I’m not sleeping with you tonight. I''m only here to wish you


    goodnight."


    Jay immediately felt that his teasing had backfired. H e reached out his hand at her. "Angeline,


    come over here."


    Angeline slowly inched over and Jay pulled her into his embrace. "Angeline, let''s go stay in a hotel."


    The man''s voice was filled with self-restraint and control.


    Angeline,"..."


    Her face was so red by now. "Zayne isn''t gonna stop teasing me for this."


    Jay nodded. "Hmm, that''s true.


    "Then apany me for a chat."


    Angeline leaned on Jay''s chest. "Love, I''m worried about Josephine."


    Angeline''s heart was shredded into pieces when she recalled how devastated Josephine looked


    when she left the Severe family’s house.


    He was tremendously worried about Josephine as well, thus when she left the house, he had sent a


    message to his sister.


    ''I’m your backup, don''t do anything stupid.''
