Shirley held back her tears. She knew that she had become Angeline’s substitute.
When Cole reached out to switch on the lights, Shirley held his hand tightly.
Thinking that she was probably shy, a blissful smile emerged on his dashing face.
He helped her get dressed and kissed her gently on the side of her lips. "I love you, Angeline.
"I’ll see you tomorrow."
Having said that, he got up and walked out the door.
Shirley sat up in exhaustion, feeling somewhat at a loss for a moment. When she remembered that Angeline was still lying under the bed, she reached out to wipe her tears away. Her helpless eyes regained their unwavering vigor.
Outside the door.
When Zayne and Josephine saw Cole, they pounced at him furiously.
Josephine slapped Cole in the face, whereas Zayne sent Cole flying with his kicks... They were infuriated.
When the Corvettes saw their young master being treated like that, they pulled out their weapons and
aimed them at Zayne and Josephine's heads.
Cole clambered to his feet and said, "Let them go."
When they heard some noise coming from the house, Zayne and Josephine rushed inside. Sis Shirley had already pulled Angeline out from under the bed. Angeline lay limply on Sis Shirley’s body, tears pouring from her eyes.
Guilt and self-blame were gnawing at her heart.
Zayne and Josephine had obviously gotten the wrong idea. They thought that Angeline had been bullied.
"Angeline... Angeline..." Zayne nearly collapsed.
Shirley, on the other hand, looked calm when she said, "Angeline is fine."
