Jay carried Angeline to the bedroom and placed her gently on the bed. Although he knew that she probably would not be able to hear him, he still sought her opinion in an extremely gentlemanly manner.
"It's time to take a bath, Angeline."
When he reached out to undress her, Angeline clasped her button and refused to let go. Afraid that she was unable to hear him, he leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "Angeline, I'm going to give you a bath."
Angeline was so shy that her ears turned crimson.
Jay let out a dazzling smile. He already looked as charming as a divine being to start with, but he looked even more enticing when he smiled. Are you shy, Angeline?" He brushed her nose contentedly.
He was on cloud nine at this moment because he was certain that Angeline was equipped with a certain degree of hearing.
In fact, Angeline had not lost her hearing at all. It was pride that was holding her back. At the thought that she would end up like her grandfather, bedridden and a burden to others for the rest of her life, she simply found it hard to accept this outcome.
Therefore, she chose to remain uncommunicative.
Jay reached out and stroked her tiny head in a pampered manner, then rested his chin on her head intimately. He said with a smile on his face, "You can hear me, can't you?"
Angeline did not answer him.
Jay continued to say, "I'm sorry for letting you down, Angeline. You love me so much that you were willing t o risk your life and even got disfigured because of me, yet a b*stard like me actually believed the words my mother said. I've made you suffer."
Angeline's face was pressed against his chest, and her heart ached when she felt his chest rising and falling i n anger.
Actually, she was someone who was open to reason. After he lost his memory, she knew that Jaybie would believe in Madam Ares' words simply because he was a filial son. Furthermore, she had deceived him before, hence she understood just how difficult it was to gain his trust.
Although he doubted her, he had never harmed her. If love was nonexistent between them, then judging from his ruthless character, he would never have been so lenient with her.
She blamed her indecisiveness in the beginning and for constantly worrying about her losses, which caused his misunderstandings toward her to grow.
Jay continued with his repentance. "Angeline, what should I do to relieve your pain? To bring you back to
those carefree days?"
He had tried his very best to fight back his tears, yet they still rolled down his cheeks in the end.
