Chapter 1019
When Jay came out of the shower, he found Marilyn sitting on his bed.
Startled, Jay slowly furrowed his brows.
Marilyn patted the empty bed and called out softly. "I get it now, darling. Since we''re husband and
wife, I won’tin about your illness when you''re sick. I''ll sleep next to you every day from now
on, and maybe someday, you''ll get used to this physical intimacy and your illness will heal even
without any medication."
When Jay''s gaze fell on Marilyn’s swarthy arms, his stomach started churning uncontrobly. He
endured the pain with a frown and shuffled over.

Marilyn embraced him tightly. She called out in a soft and mushy voice as if her entire body was
being burned by a zing fire.
"I feel so ufortable, darling," She seduced him in a mellow and sultry voice.
Jay remained silent as he tried to endure the increasingly sickening feeling in his stomach.
Eventually, he pulled her hands away without any mercy.
"You know I can’t, Marilyn, so why are you doing this t o me?" His voice sounded like it was
enveloped in a
block of ice, extinguishing her zing passion in an instant.
She held onto him stubbornly, unwilling to let go.
Jay broke free of her grasp. "I''m going downstairs for a walk."
He turned around, opened the door, and left.
When Marilyn heard the sound of the door opening and closing, a forlorn expression emerged on
her face.
"Do I disgust you that much?" Tears streamed down her face.
Jay wandered aimlessly in the cool night and eventually fell asleep on the bench downstairs of the
housing estate. When he woke up, a gust of cool breeze made him feel dizzy and light-headed.
That was when he knew that he had caught a cold.
In the early morning, Marilyn came downstairs to look for him while holding the child in her arms.
When she saw him sitting on the bench sneezing, Marilyn said with tears in her eyes, "I won''t force
you to sleep with me anymore. You don''t have to keep avoiding me either. Just go home and have a
good rest."
Jay smiled weakly. "It''s dawn now. I should go out and look for a job. You should go back with
Tiger."
Having said that, he got up from the bench and walked leisurely to the housing estate’s main gate.
Marilyn held Tiger in her arms. She watched with a wistful gaze as he walked further and further
away
before finally returning to the rented house.
Perhaps it was because she was in a good moodtely, so part of Angeline''s vision had gradually
restored. She could see a little now.
At the thought of therge stack of documents waiting for her to deal with in thepany, Angelina
dared notze away and rushed to thepany after applying her honey-oiled makeup.
When she sat on the swivel chair in the president''s office, Grayson and Zayne were already
standing in front of her.
"You first, Grayson." Angelina knew that Grayson was i n charge of thepany''s operations,
whereas Zayne was in charge of the logistics. The former was more important than thetter.
Grayson did not disappoint. After processing the documents that the president needed to read
through, he reported, "Ms. Severe, in view of Titus Enterprise, Bell Enterprise, and several other
departments’ failure to perform well for thepany''s quarterly assessment, their bonuses will be
reduced proportionally ording to thepany''s regtions."
Angelina fiddled with the diamond sunflower on her nails and praised him. "Good job."
Grayson put on a bitter look on his face. "Ms. Severe, these departments voiced their objections
during the
meeting yesterday."
Angeline''s voice was cold. She carried an unyielding aura that of a queen. "Objections? Send them
to me then."
Grayson nodded. "Okay."
"What about you, Zayne?"
Seeing that the pleasant atmosphere had turned stifling because of Grayson, Zayne red at him.
Grayson,"..."
