Angeline smiled. "I'm fine, darling."
Jay looked at her with trepidation. Angeline had recovered by now and her complexion was back to normal again.
"I'm really fine. You know I can't stand anything that reeks ever since my body started rejecting food. I threw up just now simply because I couldn't stand the stench when Josephine threw up..." Angeline explained.
It was only then did Jay feel slightly at ease.
"Are you really okay?"
Angeline felt really sorry when she saw how anxious Jay was about her and wrapped her arms around his neck. She sounded slightly abashed. "I'm sorry, Jaybie. I ate some snacks and drank some goat's milk."
Jay's dashing face turned dark at once.
Fury tore through him. "Who gave them to you? What else did you eat?"
Angeline knew he would be enraged. Afraid that he would take it out on Zayne and Josephine, she felt the need to do her best to pacify him.
"Don't be angry, Jaybie.
"I know I was wrong.
"I’ll watch my mouth from now on..."
Jay looked into Angeline's slightly ingratiating and apprehensive deer-like eyes. He hugged her tight, muttering, "It must be really hard on you. You must be tired of eating vegan meals after so long.”
Angeline burst into tears. He, an adult man, was clearly the one who had to suffer because he had to become vegan with her. What else was there for her to complain about?
"I was wrong," Angeline cried out.
She was extremely ashamed. Why was Jay able to have such strong willpower to go vegan for her, but she was unable to control her mouth and even put him in a constant state of anxiety?
Her sensitivity and affection calmed Jay’s irritable heart completely. When he spoke, his voice no longer carried a trace of anger. He said softly, "Alright, stop crying. I'll make something good for you tonight."
When Angeline and Jay walked out of the bedroom, Zayne had cleared the scene and hid the snacks.
There was only a box of goat's milk powder on the table.
Josephine was curled up on the couch with a defeated look on her face.
