Angeline shook her head and said in a low voice, "I gave it to Mom."
Jay,
His anger dissipated immediately.
Angeline had only done so because she wanted to please her mother-in-law so badly. Her intentions were merely for his own good as well.
He stretched his hands out and pulled the bewildered Angeline into his arms. Then, he continued helplessly, "It’s alright. Come with me to Fleeting Time Villa later and we'll get it back."
Angeline thought about how her mother-in-law was s o furious over the ownership of the jade jewelry yesterday and felt that her mother-in-law minded if Jaybie was thoughtful of her. If Jaybie went over to ask for the jade back, her mother-in-law would be even more annoyed that she was dominating all of Jaybie's love.
"That set of jade jewelry is more suitable for Mom, Jaybie. Let's just let her have it." Angeline tried to persuade him.
Jay very persistently said, "No. That jade jewelry set has a very special meaning. It's a gift of love from me t
o you. It cannot be given to others. I'll give her another gift in return.”
Angeline grasped her hair guiltily. "It's my fault for not asking you in advance."
"I'm not blaming you." How could Jay bear to push this onto her? What Angeline did was out of selfless dedication and tolerance.
When Angeline and Jay walked out of the bedroom, they found that the three children were gone.
There were notes from the children on the table.
Baby Zetty had written, [Daddy, Mommy, I'm heading t o class. Love you.]
Baby Robbie and Jenson's note wrote, [Mommy and Daddy, we're heading to the hospital to visit the sisters from the military intelligence division. Love you guys, from Baby Robbie and Jenson.]
Angeline glanced at Jay, and her eyes looked radiant with flowing light. They were overflowing with vibrant colors. She quick-wittedly said, "Jaybie, didn't you say that the sisters from the military intelligence division saved Jens and Baby Robbie? They showed u s such a tremendous amount of kindness. Shouldn't w e go visit them too?"
