Jay brought Angeline back to Green Plum Town after her fever had gone down.
Angeline was curled up on the couch blankly. She took off her shoes, hugged her knees, and rested her slender chin on her knees, allowing her thoughts to run wild.
She had never liked Chloe to begin with. Chloe not only killed Mr. Boye but also killed her in a car accident. Angeline hated the heartless Chloe from the bottom of her heart.
However, Angeline had been forcing herself to accept Chloe for Jay’s sake. She deliberately tried to please Chloe, but the woman did not appreciate it at all. Instead, she called her trash, broke her marriage, and ruined her reputation. What she did crossed the line.
Angeline refused to be the bigger person anymore.
She was faced with a desperate choice at the moment. She did not want to see Chloe again nor force a smile a t her. If Chloe ever provoked her again, Angeline would go all out to fight her. She refused to be a doormat any longer and would beat her up hard.
She would take her revenge.
However, what would Jaybie do if she treated Chloe
like that?
When she thought of how Jay had anxiously picked Chloe up when she fell ill earlier as well as his resolute steps when he left, Angeline's tears began to fall.
Facts proved that it was impossible to sever Jay and Chloe’s ties as mother and son.
If she provoked Chloe, then it would be very, very painful for Jay to be caught in the middle.
Zayne and Josephine, who were late to receive the news, rushed to Green Plum Town as soon as they learned of Angeline's accident.
"Angeline!" Zayne and Josephine pushed the door in.
"Angeline, I'm very sorry for what happened today." Jay looked at Angeline only to realize that her gaze was blank. He felt a pang in his heart once more when he was given the cold shoulder.
Zayne and Josephine noticed the alienation and coldness between Angeline and Jay. Both of them stared worriedly at Jay.
From what they could remember, Angeline had never treated Jay with such indifference before. No matter what mistakes Jay had made, Angeline would always chase after him in the end. Her love for Jay was unabated.
Now, Angeline did not even bother kicking up a fuss and even resisted Jay’s touch. This showed that Angeline was subconsciously taking back her love for Jay.
Jay could feel his breaths getting stuck in his throat, leaving him breathless. After a very long time, Jay said in a forlorn tone, "I can't choose my mother, Angeline. I'm furious and upset at what she has done t o you, but I never once thought of letting you go."
He pulled Angeline’s hand over once again and held it tightly in his palms, vowing, "Don’t worry. She may be my mother, but I'm a completely independent body. I won't listen to any of her advice that is geared to hurt you."
