Zayne looked at the forlorn expression on Josephine's face and made a firm decision instantly. "We won't leave, then. We’ll stay and ask Brother Jay to cook some amazing food for you mothers so you can both get enough nourishment for your bodies.”
Zayne's voice was so loud that even Angeline and Jay could hear everything he said. Angeline raised her eyelids to look at Jay. Jay’s slim face was as sharp and as intimidating as a knife, but at the same time, h e looked so infinitely charming.
A hint of wisdom flashed across Angelina's eyes, and she whispered to Jay, "You must have been really exhausted lately, Jaybie. Since Zayne is here, you can leave the house chores to him."
The somberness that Zayne gave Jay earlier had dissipated completely. Knowing that Angeline could not bear to see him suffer had made him realize just how much Angeline loved him, and this cheered him u p greatly.
"Can you get used to eating the food he cooks?” This was the only thing that Jay was worried about.
"You can teach him," Angeline said cunningly.
Jay's face broke into a smile. "Okay.”
"Why are those two acting so sneaky? What are they plotting at?" Zayne and Josephine walked up to them.
Angeline walked up to Zayne with her hands on her hips and raised her chin, talking like a gangster," Brother, we will leave all the housework to you from now on. You will wash, cook, mop, sweep, and dry the clothes!"
Zayne put her hands down and looked her up and down repeatedly. "Stand straight. Look who you're siding with! I'm pretty sure you weren't like this when you were young. Why, when you're all grown up, are you siding with outsiders now?"
A smile crept across Jay’s face.
Angeline smacked Zayne’s hand away. "It's only because you're my brother that I'm willing to hand the house chores over to you to help you gain some experience. Josephine is pregnant with a child in her belly, do you think you can stay idle forever? Listen u p, when the child is born, you'll have plenty of work to do."
Zayne roared, "Don't use such high-sounding words with me. You're just trying to betray me and side with Jay..."
Josephine felt sorry for Zayne and said, "Don’t worry, Zayne. I’ll help you..."
