Chapter 1438


    When Jay heard that Angeline was sleeping with Josephine, the gentlemanly side of him held him


    back.


    Jay turned around to leave when Zayne was heard muttering faintly, "You don''t have toe


    tomorrow. It''s useless even if you do because she won''t leave with you."


    Jay halted in his steps abruptly and turned around to look at Zayne, looking a little anxious. "Is she


    mad at m e?"


    Zayne nodded.


    Jay cast his mind back to the time young Angeline was upset. No matter how hard he racked his


    brains, how much wisdom he had, or the great deal of time and effort he spent, her unreasonable


    behavior was simply... a problem of the century. There was simply n o way to coax her.


    Jay could feel the back of his head hurting.


    He changed his mind in the end and walked into the house instead of returning to his vi.


    "I''m staying here tonight." Jayy on the couch, pulling Zayne''s nket over him.


    Dumbfounded, Zayne said speechlessly, "Where am I supposed to sleep now that you''re sleeping in


    my

    spot?”


    Jay tossed his keys to him. "You can go to Green Plum Town."


    Zayne tossed the keys back to him. "Why must I? This i s my house. You should be the one to go


    back to your own bed.”


    "Go and call Angeline and I’ll take her home," Jay said slyly, narrowing his charming eyes.


    Zayne ced his hands on his hips and stared gloomily at the huge vi. Although there were many


    bedrooms here, there were no beds in other bedrooms. There was no way he could find so many


    bedding items in such a short period of time.


    If he did not drive Jay away from his couch, then there would be nowhere else for him to sleep


    tonight.


    Zayne''s face was clouded. "Fine, you win.”


    He then walked to Josephine''s bedroom.


    Jay listened to the movements in the bedroom... If Angeline was really mad at him, then based on


    his understanding of her, it would be impossible for her to fall asleep before he was done coaxing


    her.


    Zayne knocked on the door, doing so very gently at first. However, it was all quiet in the bedroom.


    There were no movements.


    Jay breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, grateful for the fact that Angeline was already asleep. It


    seemed that histe return tonight had not upset her too much...


    The next moment, however, this possibility was instantly ruled out.


    Zayne opened his mouth and called out, "Josephine, Angeline, are you asleep?"


    Zayne''s perseverance eventually infuriated both women in the room. Josephine snarled


    exasperatedly. "Shut up, Zayne!"


    Zayne muttered grievously, "I''m not trying to interrupt your sleep on purpose. Your brother has


    upied my couch and I have no ce to sleep now."


    Angeline sounded very upset. "Ask him to go back to Green Plum Town."


    Jay lost hisposure at once. He got up from the couch, walked to the bedroom, and started


    coaxing Angeline like he was coaxing his ancestor. "Oh, dear Angeline, please don''t be mad. It


    won’t be good for your health if you''re mad. Come home with me and I’ll exin everything to you."


    "I don''t want to listen," Angeline said in a muffled voice.


    Jay spoke anyway, "I went to the market to buy rough stones today and forgot to bring my wallet


    because I was in a rush. I didn''t want toe back empty-handed, so I started a reselling business


    and that took me some time..."


    Before Jay was finished, Zayne interjected angrily," You started a reselling business? My sister


    thought you were missing. She went to look for you from house to house, walking from 48


    Stronghold to Yorks Stronghold. She was worried that you were taken away by the wolves and


    vixens in the thick forest. Do you know how worried she was?"


    When Zayne mentioned the word ''vixen'', Jay’s heart sank inexplicably. Angeline was mad at him at


    this moment, and if she learned that a vixen nearly leeched onto him before he came home tonight,


    the consequences would be too ghastly to contemte.


    "My dear Angeline, I’ll kneel here. I’ll keep kneeling here until youe home with me." Left with no


    other choice, Jay could only resort to sadfishing to gain her sympathy.


    Zayne stared speechlessly at Jay, adding fuel to the mes. "The ground is icy. Let me go and grab


    a keyboard for you to cushion your feet."


    Jay went all out. "A durian will be better."


    Zayne muttered, "You''re a man, Brother. A real man does not surrender easily. Can you at least


    show some pride and integrity as a man?"
