After hearing what Jay said, Angelina's anger dissipated greatly. She got out of bed but was held back by Josephine instead. "Don’t believe them. We don’t have keyboards here nor do we have durians. You mustn’t be soft-hearted. Make sure you teach him a lesson or he won't learn from his mistake. With the first time, there will be a second.”
Therefore, Angeline lay down on the bed again sullenly.
However, she just could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tossed and turned in bed.
After God knew how long, she sighed inwardly and eventually got out of bed. She walked to the door panel and gently slid it open.
Zayne was sitting on the ground, whereas Jay was kneeling down. They were leaning on each other shoulder-to-shoulder with their backs against the door panel. At once, they both fell at Angelina's feet.
Angeline was astonished. "You're actually kneeling down?"
Jay looked pitifully at Angeline with a gaze as innocent as a tiny wolf pup, his eyes filled with a great sense of grievances.
"Please don't be mad, my dear Angeline. I won’t do it again next time.”
Angeline felt a pang in her heart and stretched out her hand to pull him up.
Zayne stretched out his hand as well, but Angeline ignored it.
Angeline's eyes were overflowing with pity for Jay. " Why are you still worried about me when you know that I'm at Josephine’s? You should’ve gone back to sleep.”
Jay replied, "I don’t want you to sulk for too long. It won’t be good for your health."
Zayne's hand remained suspended in the air for a very long time, but how could Angeline and Jay pay him any attention when they only had eyes for each other a t the moment? 1
Zayne had no choice but to retract his hands in anguish and said in a self-deprecating manner, "I’ve kept you company only to be ditched in the end."
Zayne got up on his own, grabbed Angeline's coat, and stuffed it into Jay's hand. Then, he unceremoniously showed them the door. "Leave. Go back to Green Plum Town."
This was all Jay could ever wish for. He strode outside carrying Angeline on his back.
