Tears filled Angeline's beautiful dark brown eyes. She felt wronged and looked at Jay with puppy dog eyes.
She had been in and out of sleep. When she saw that Jay had chosen to sleep in a separate bed, she thought that Jay was avoiding her.
After all, to Angeline, a husband and wife sleeping in separate beds meant that their relationship was in disharmony. Moreover, Jay was very against the idea o f a husband and wife sleeping in separate beds.
Tears spilled over and flowed down Angeline's face like a river escaping a dam. When Jay saw that, he immediately hurried over. Just as he was about to hug her, her hands pushed him away as she said, "Go away..."
Jay stood there like a log. He was not sure what he should do.
"What’s wrong, Angeline?" He knelt and looked at Angeline, who was throwing a tantrum out of nowhere. He was confused.
Angeline looked at her hands. Her once beautiful hands were only skin and bones now. She quietly pulled back her hands, trying to hide her fists in her sleeves.

She turned her attention to Jay again. Although he had lost some weight and looked slightly haggard, he was still handsome and charming.
Angeline squeezed a bitter smile. Chloe Yorks was right. She was setting him back.

Angeline started to zone out again. At that moment, her only thought was that she had to free Jay...
