Seeing that he was indeed getting mad, Angeline stopped her pranks. She held his hand and said emotionally, "Don't you already know how significant you are in my heart?"
Jay was sullen. He was a little unsure himself. "I know that you have a stubborn personality. If you choose to do something, you'll persevere and see it through. So I was always worried that since my parents had brought upon you so many disasters, you would perhaps... think of retreating. I was afraid that in your point of view, once a husband and wife chose each other, they'd have to finish walking on a shared path together due to responsibility and morality. Angeline, I’m scared that you’re merely staying with me out of force, not because of love...."
Angeline was stunned by his words and was in a daze for a long time.
She stayed silent, and Jay could feel that his heart was about to jump out of his throat due to tension.
After long consideration, Angeline blinked her innocent glazed eyes and said, "Frankly, my feelings for you are rather complicated...."
Jay's heart was faltering.
Angeline continued again, "If I can’t see you, my heart will be uneasy. And if you fall ill, I'll be deadly afraid. Moreover, I don't like it when you have a relationship with any other woman."
Angeline emphasized, "Subconsciously, I feel like you're all mine."
Jay's eyes instantly appeared more vivid now that he saw things clearly. It turned out Angeline would be jealous because of him...
"Angeline, Angeline..."
He buried his face in her neck and murmured affectionately, "I love you."
'Thank you, Angeline. For never giving up on me.’
Angeline got up from the bed and took off the masks o n his face. "Alright now, it's getting late. Take a good rest, I'll be sleeping next door."
Jay nodded at her.
At night, Angeline was not able to sleep soundly.
When she heard the coughs coming from next door, she would continuously get up to check on him. She had been tossing and turning the whole night.
