When Boye left Jay's courtyard, her expression was still a little confused. When she got home, her husband asked, "Was it a pleasant conversation with your grandson?"
Boye nodded and shook her head at the same time.
The grandpa placed his work down in surprise. He came closer to Boye and asked with concern, "Does the child hate you?" 1
Boye said in bewilderment, "He didn't say that. It's just that his attitude toward me was not really enthusiastic."
Boye suddenly chuckled out loud. "For so many years, everyone regarded Boye as a guest of honor and did all kinds of things to please me. He’s the only one who rejected the benefits I offered to give him."
The grandpa was a little surprised. "Were you planning on handing your research results to him?"
Boye sighed. "He doesn't seem to want them."
The grandpa asked suspiciously, "He truly doesn’t want them?”
Boye replied, "He does. But he wants me to contribute his share to the country."
The grandpa was dumbfounded. "He's truly a person not tempted by money or power."
Boy was somewhat discouraged, saying, "Tell me, what do you think he's thinking?"
The grandpa said, "I think he appears deeply shrewd, and we can't be deceived by his appearance. Let's wait for Angeline to come over another day, and you can try to probe some answers out of her. That girl appears to be silly and sweet at first glance..."
Boye nodded.
Inside the residence across the street.
Angeline was lying on the bed in a white nightdress, sleeping peacefully. Suddenly, she had a nightmare of getting bitten by a big bad wolf.
It abruptly woke Angeline up from her sleep. As soon a s she opened her eyes, she noticed that Jay was kissing her lips, and her pupils widened...
"Angeline, I want to do it..." Jay’s forbearing expression made Angeline feel pitiful toward him.
Angeline nodded.
Jay got up and sat down instead. "It's fine. I’ll settle it myself.”
