Jay grabbed Angeline's hand anxiously and gave her a reassuring stare. He then turned to Judy and said," Judy, I promised your father to take good care of you, but I didn't promise him anything about marrying you. I, Jay Ares, am a person who takes my promise seriously and will never break it. With that said, I also promised my wife to marry her and her alone for the rest of my life. I'll take care of you, but I won’t do so by marrying you."
Judy's smile froze on her face. Her unrequited love had turned into intense hatred. "You're not keeping your promise." She then covered her face and ran away.
The villagers all looked at Jay with condemning eyes." Zechariah has just passed on and you're already breaking your promise by refusing to marry Saintess Judy. We don't welcome you here in Doomsday."
Jay was spurned, and his dashing face looked extremely awkward.
Angeline squeezed Jay's hand and gave him a reassuring gaze.
With Angeline’s comforting gaze, his icy heart was instantly filled with delight. The corners of his lips were turned upward.
He did not care what others thought of him. Angeline was all he cared about.
"You're simply too much, all of you. Jaybie only promised Mr. Zechariah to take care of his daughter but didn't promise to marry her, so how is he breaking any promises?" Angeline said with certainty.
A villager stood up and uttered indignantly, "How are you going to take care of her if you don't marry her?"
Angeline sneered, "Let me ask you a question. Do you have parents?"
"Of course. I didn't jump out of a crack in a rock," replied the savage man who was standing up for Judy.
"Did they take care of you?" Angeline asked.
"It’s only proper and right for parents to take care of their children."
