"Angeline, you're aware of your health condition. Jay i s forced to take care of everything in the household because of it. He's a seven feet tall man who can be doing much more with his life than household chores. Don’t you think it's unfair to him? If Judy comes into the picture, she can help Jay take care of you. What’s wrong with that?" Grand Old Master Yorks said with certainty.
Angelina's beautiful body trembled fiercely. She could not believe that Grand Old Master Yorks would attack her poor health and gaslight her by mentioning Jay’s splendid future, leaving her with no power to fight back.
She stood there with a blank expression. At that moment, she felt as though her soul had left her body.
It took a long time for Angeline to find the strength to reply to him, "I'll never accept polygamy. If you insist o n doing this, then I'll file for a divorce. You and I will g o separate our ways and be strangers once again.”
Although she said this while looking at Grand Old Master Yorks, she was obviously saying it to Jay.
Jay’s heart was physically aching. He was in so much pain that he could not breathe. "Angeline..."
He was doing his best to remain rational.
He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I’ve made two promises to myself. One is that I'll live my best life, and the other is that I’ll do everything in my power to make sure that Angeline is happy. Grandpa, please do not interfere with our lives and cause trouble."
Grand Old Master Yorks looked unhappy and left with a sullen expression.
Jay strode toward Angeline and hugged her tightly. " How could you say such cruel things?"
Angeline was limp in Jay's arms. She said weakly," Jaybie, it's not that I’m cruel. I'm just afraid that you’ll end up like Spencer Yorks. The love of his life is just i n front of him, but he’s not able to hold her."
Jay held Angeline's face and solemnly swore to her," Angeline, my love will never be at the mercy of anyone. Please trust me." 1
Angeline smiled and said, "I trust you."
