Angeline returned to the dining table and noticed Jay staring at her face from time to time.
Angeline wiped her face. "What’s the matter?"
"What did you talk about with the granny that got you so absorbed? You almost completely skipped all your naps and meals," Jay said in a joking manner.
Angeline's mouth was stuffed to the brim. Her cheeks looked especially cute when she said, "Try and guess." Her mouth was not fully closed when she spoke, and a few pieces of food particles spurted out.
Jay was dumbfounded... "Angeline, don't forget that you’re a well-bred young lady from a prestigious family."
Angeline laughed out loud, and more of the food inside her mouth was sprayed out. Some of it even landed on Jay’s face.
Angeline quickly took a tissue and wiped it randomly all across his face. Jay felt incredibly helpless, but in the end, apart from squeezing her face tenderly, he did not show the slightest bit of temper.
Why had he not trained her to be a well-bred young lady of a prestigious family when she was younger?
After cleaning up the mess, Angeline drooped her
head and said dejectedly, "So, you like proper ladies?"
Jay realized that the sentence he uttered earlier was coming back to bite him in his bottom and he quickly tried to save himself. "No, no, no. I still prefer a genuine girl like you."
"But, you obviously dislike what I did earlier." Angeline's sensitive and paranoid temperament was particularly more distinctive after she got clinical depression.
Jay said, "I don't. I merely thought that it was a pity that the food was wasted."
Angeline was more relieved and was smiling again.
Jay was already feeling beads of cold sweat dripping down his back.
"Jaybie, have you truly not noticed how familiar that granny who lives across the street is?" Angeline asked in a serious tone.
