"She'll kill you?" Jay frowned.
Grayson explained. "Ms. Severe will force us to go on a blind date. We're all celibates, so getting married is, for us, more terrifying than getting decapitated."
Jay was stupefied.
After a very long time, he mocked. "She must have a lot of free time, huh?"
With Grayson and the rest insisting on staying, Jay had no choice but to say to Marilyn, "Go buy some good wine and food to serve them."
Marilyn responded, "Sure."
Marilyn had just packed her things and was ready to g o out when she bumped into Angeline and Zayne who arrived for a visit.
Marilyn retreated a few steps in shock. "Darling?"
When Jay heard how nervous and uneasy Marilyn sounded, he turned over to look in her direction.
At the sight of Angeline clad in a smart suit and her long black hair hanging loosely down her waist, his eyes glistened with an imperceptible delight.
As Jay walked to the door, Angeline looked calmly and indifferently at Marilyn. "We're here to visit Tiger,
Marilyn."
Marilyn held Angeline in awe and veneration. When she heard that she was here to see Tiger, she quickly shouted at Tiger, "Come here, Tiger."
When Tiger scurried over with his short legs, Angeline bent down to meet him. This was her first time meeting Tiger. He had slender eyebrows, a flat nose, bony ears, and thick lips.
Though he was considered to be quite good-looking, there was still a huge disparity between his and Jaybie's genes.
Angeline pinched Tiger's face and stood up, making a left-handed joke. "The child looks nothing like you, Ben. It’s a pity that your good looks have gone to waste."
Marilyn dismissed Tiger with a guilty conscience. "Go and play."
Jay's falcon-like eyes contracted abruptly as he stared at Angeline meaningfully.
Was she insinuating that Tiger was not his own?
"A child's genes are a combination of both parents. Besides, genetic mutations can also happen. I'm sure your physical education teacher was the one who taught you lessons on genetics, right?"
