After hanging up the phone, Angeline put on a solemn expression and pleaded with Jay, "I want to go back to Imperial Capital, darling.”
Jay looked at Angeline with a slightly stiff expression.
Angeline cupped his face and said coquettishly," Please, Jaybie. I miss the kids, my parents, as well as the Saraca dives Pierre.”
Jay picked her up and put her on his lap. When he felt her weight that was gradually becoming heavier, Jay's taut nerves finally loosened up.
Actually, to some extent, Angeline was not the sick one but Jay. He had become sensitive and careful. The attention he showered Angeline with had almost reached the state of paranoia.
He hugged her tight, feeling a little uneasy. "I’m not ready yet. Can you give me some time?”
When Angeline sensed Jay's hesitation, she suddenly realized what was going on. Her illness was physical, while his illness was intangible.
She should not be pressuring him blindly.
She kissed his lips gently and whispered softly, "Don't worry about me, darling. I'm fine."
She stared fixedly at Jay. "I used to be timid and weak because I was afraid that your mother wouldn't like m e, which then affected your emotions. Now that I know that you'll never leave me, I can finally feel at ease. Don't worry, no one can hurt me except you."
Jay smiled. "Silly."
It was raining outside.
Angeline was secretly delighted because the outdoor exercise session had to be canceled. However, she deliberately put on a regretful expression and looked a t Jay. "What should we do, darling? We can’t do outdoor exercises today."
Jay saw her big and charming eyes twinkling with radiance. He laughed, replying, "We'll do indoor exercises then."
"How are we supposed to do that when we don't even have a gym?" Angeline looked crestfallen at once.
Jay walked over, picked her up, and walked to the bedroom.
Angeline knew what he was referring to at once.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, pattering on the fig tree as it played a symphony of love.
Gradually, Angeline fell into a deep sleep.
