His tenderness carried a poisonous charm.
Marilyn gritted her teeth in secret. This was her man. Tenderness like that should be reserved for her and her alone, no?
"It's late now, darling. You still have to go to work tomorrow. You should probably go to bed now." Marilyn walked up to Jay and reminded him with a smile.
Jay replied in an indifferent tone, "Okay."
The air felt a little condensed all of a sudden. Angeline did not want to embarrass Jay, hence she got up and called out to Baby Zetty who was touring around the house, "It's time to go home, Baby Zetty."
Baby Zetty walked out of Jay’s room and was thrilled t o tell Mommy about her discovery. "Mommy, I saw the little brother in Mr. Ben’s house. He’s sleeping."
"I have a lot of toys. Can I give some to him?"
Angeline smiled and said, "Of course."
After Baby Zetty bid farewell to Jay and Marilyn, she held Angeline's hand and walked out the door.
After Marilyn had walked over to lock the security door, she returned to Jay’s side, her almond-shaped
eyes carrying a wave of stifling anger.
Jay held Angeline's glass before raising his head to finish the remaining water. He then darted a suggestive glance at Marilyn before walking to his bedroom.
Marilyn was completely ignored.
All of a sudden, Marilyn burst into tears. "So you're actually her daughter's piano teacher. Ben-"
She suddenly commanded him in a furious and overbearing tone, "You're not allowed to be that child's piano teacher anymore."
She needed to defend her love. Something was bound t o go wrong if Ben continued to meet that woman.
Jay was heard saying coldly, "I'll have to wait until the contract expires."
Marilyn replied, "It’s because we took her money, isn't i t?"
She turned around and entered the master bedroom. Soon, she came out with several bank cards in her hand and walked to Jay. "Let's return the money to her, okay, darling?"
Jay’s falcon-like pupils contracted abruptly. "Where did you get the cards from?"
