Jay sighed and said, "Angelina is probably having menopause now. She got mad at me when I praised other women last night."
Zayne refused to believe Jay. "Shouldn’t you be happy that my sister is jealous of other women because of you?"
Jay said, "Of course I'm happy, but she'll ignore me every time she gets jealous."
Zayne nodded. He believed that it would feel like the end of the world for Jay whenever Angeline ignored him.
However, Zayne was more concerned about something else. "So which girl did you praise?"
Jay said, "Rose Loyle.”
Zayne was dumbfounded.
"Why are you still bringing up that country bumpkin?"
Jay snarled. "Who are you calling a country bumpkin? Angeline was Rose for so many years. If she gets jealous even of herself, I can’t imagine if it was another woman!”
Zayne sympathized with Jay. "Maybe she's having menopause indeed. Caution is the parent of safety.
You're right to be careful."
Jay snapped. "What menopause? Angeline is still so young!"
As Zayne and Jay were chatting, Sis Shirley took Angeline to the shelf where sky lanterns were sold.
Sis Shirley asked, "Little Angeline, there are so many colors to choose from. Which color do you want to get?"
Angeline replied, "Baby Robbie likes green and orangeyellow. Let's buy papers of those two colors then."
Jay came forward. Like a young master from an aristocratic family who was liberal with his money, he said in a domineering tone, "Buy all the sky lanterns here. We’re buying all the pre-made products and materials as well."
Sis Shirley wanted to help out but stood rooted to the same spot while feeling at a loss.
Zayne walked over and put all the pre-made products and materials on the shelf into his shopping cart while saying, "Big Brother is right. Let's buy all of them so that Baby Robbie will be the only one to receive the blessings in all of Peach Blossom County."
