Chapter 1016
Baby Zetty poked her tiny head in and chirped with a bright smile on her face. "Mr. Ben, Mommy
wants me t o tell you that, no matter how good a book is, you still need to take care of your
stomach. It''s time for lunch."
Jay stood up, and only then did he feel ravenous. Even so, it was still considered rude for him to
have a meal i n his employer''s ce.
Just as he was hesitating on how to excuse himself, Baby Zetty ran over and pulled Jay to the
dining table downstairs by force.
"You must stay and eat with me today, Mr. Ben."
Angeline pleaded with him, "Please stay."
When Jay looked at the mouth-watering dishes, his appetite was aroused. "Thank you for your
hospitality. It''ll be too disrespectful for me to decline your invitation."
He took his seat next to Angeline.
During the meal, due to the condition of Angeline’s eyes, he very gentlemanly put food on her te
and even asked her in a considerate tone, "What do you like to eat?"
Angeline replied, "I''m not a picky eater."
She then asked him, "Is the book good?"
Jay replied honestly, "Yeah. It’s really good."
He then stared curiously at her. "How did you know that I like reading books like that?"
Angeline smiled. How could she not know about his hobbies when she grew up with him?N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.
"Don''t all men like exciting and challenging games like that?"
Jay was taken aback. Oh, so it was just a guess.
Baby Zetty smiled sweetly when she saw how joyous and harmonious the atmosphere was when
Mommy and Daddy were together.
After lunch, Jay bid farewell to Angeline and even made a request. "Can I borrow Hacker Empire for
a few days?"
Angelineughed. "If you like it, then take it as my gift to you. It just serves as a decorative item
when it’s with me."
The quick-witted Baby Zetty brought out the Hacker Empire series, passed the books to Jay, and
whispered into his ears, "These are all my mommy''s favorite books."
Jay was slightly startled. He felt delighted for some inexplicable reason.
When Jay left, Angeline started worrying.
"After you read these books, it’ll be time for you to disy your skills. You''ll need a lot of money to
realize your great ambitions.
"How can I return you the money?"
Jay''s rental house-Sunshine Court.
d in a ck jacket, a man with an unkempt beard and messy curly hair paced back and forth in
front of Sunshine Court''s housing estate for a long time. He then hid behind a huge tree and stared
fixedly at the gate of the housing estate with his falcon-like eyes.
Soon, Marilyn walked out of the housing estate holding Tiger in her arms. Every day at this hour,
she would go to the farmer''s market next door to buy some vegetables because it was at this hour
that the fresh vegetables in the farmer''s market would be almost sold out, hence she would be able
to buy cheaper vegetables.
When she came to a dim sidewalk, on her left was the housing estate’s high courtyard wall with
many tangled bougainvillea hanging down from it while on her right were dense trees along the
street. There were very few people on the street, hence she put Tiger down and watched him hop
and jumped in front of her.
All of a sudden, a dark figure emerged behind her and hugged her tight. He leaned his head forward
to gnaw on her neck.
Marilyn turned pale with fright and opened her mouth to scream. "Help!"
The man quickly covered her mouth and said, "Don''t
scream, Marilyn. It''s me."
Marilyn''s pupils dted in shock when she heard this familiar voice.
She stopped screaming and turned her head around to look at the man standing behind her. At the
sight of this familiar face, the very face that she had ced so much hope in only to have it
completely dashed, Marilyn flew into a rage.
"Why are you still alive? Why aren''t you dead yet?"
The man’s face darkened at once. He grabbed her wrist fiercely and growled. "You don''t love me
anymore, Marilyn? I heard that you remarried someone? Is that true?"
His rough and barbarous attitude made Marilyn extremely ufortable. At this moment, she could
not help butpare this man to Ben.
