Resentment filled Marilyn's eyes. That b*stard did not even save her a single cent.
How did he expect she and Ben to survive if they did not have any money?
Even so, Jay remained calm and relaxed. In a mild tone, he said, "Next time, remember to report the lost card as soon as you realize it."
Marilyn nodded. "Mm."
At this time, Tiger stroked his belly and began to cry out. "Mommy, I'm hungry."
Marilyn was ridden with guilt after losing the card. At the sound of her son’s cries, she patted his head irritably and said, "Bear with it.”
It was only then did Jay realize that they had not eaten anything yet.
He got up and walked to the kitchen, fighting back the nauseating feeling when he saw the oil and grease on the kitchen stove. He fixed a bowl of soup for them.
Marilyn stared at Jay’s charming and dreamy back as he moved back and forth in the kitchen, her eyes filled with infatuation.
Whether in appearance or character, this man was simply the best in the world.
Since God had brought him to her, she found no reason to give up on him!
Two bowls of creamy chicken mushroom soup were prepared in no time at all.
Jay put the soup on the dining table and stroked Tiger's head gently, saying, "Go on, eat."
Tiger escaped his warm hands and sat down next to Mommy.
Jay's hands froze mid-air as a touch of disappointment flashed across his eyes. He was not close with his child and that was probably because he had not showered him with enough love in the past few years.
When Marilyn noticed how disappointed Jay looked, she knocked Tiger's head and scolded, "Why’d you run away? Daddy is touching you because that's his way o f showing that he likes you."
Jay frowned and yelled, "Don't frighten the child. We’ll have plenty of time in the future to bond."
Marilyn nodded with a smile. "Mm."
