Jay said, "Give me one reason why I should stay.”
"Your mother is here!" Chloe cried aloud.
Jay lifted his leg gently and shook off Chloe's hand, saying with a dull expression, "Wherever you go, that's where Father will be. That’s the love between both of you. But for me, wherever Angeline goes, that’s where home is. That's what love means to me."
Chloe shed tears of despair and regret. "I was wrong, Jay. I was terribly wrong. Stay and keep me company, please?"
"Angeline isn't in good health to start with, and after being bullied by you today, who knows how terribly her health will deteriorate? I can't leave her behind," Jay said.
"If that’s the case... I'll send someone to get her back." Chloe compromised reluctantly.
If it was not for the fact that Jay was about to leave her behind, would she even stoop to compromise with Angeline?
Jay looked at Chloe's wretched appearance and felt as though his heart had been sliced open.
Josephine knew that Jay was a man who valued his family and friends more than anything. Afraid that he
would fall into Chloe’s trap, Josephine stepped out to accuse Chloe of her crimes once more. "Don't be such a hypocrite. You’re trying to get Sis Angeline back so you can bully her again, aren't you? After what happened today, Sis Angelina's health will probably deteriorate again!
"When she was limp and weak, you pointed at her face and called her trash, even accusing her of being unworthy of your son. How can a prideful person like Sis Angeline be willing to live life like a coward?”
Jay gained new insights about Chloe every time Josephine broke the news to him.
His fists clenched unconsciously. Angeline's heart must be bleeding when a prideful girl like her was humiliated by his mother.
No wonder she was so furious today.
His mother’s remarks must have served as the last straw for her, which was why she hit his mother and even him.
