"If others know that I'm your wife, my boss will fear m e and my colleagues will stop at nothing to flatter me. Do you think I'll be able to make genuine friends?" asked Angeline.
Jay was dumbfounded. "Do you still need more friends?"
Angeline was slightly stunned. She realized that Jay was starting to get paranoid again and quickly hugged him while acting coquettishly. "Having you by my side is enough for me, and I don’t need any more genuine friends. But it’d be nice to have multiple friends in a workplace. It’ll lead to more paths in the future."
Jay said with an extraordinarily domineering tone," There's no need. You have me, and I promise you all the paths will still lead you to Rome."
Angeline,"..."
It seemed like today was not a good day for negotiations.
"Let’s postpone the job hunt. Darling, school's about to start, so let’s prepare for the children's advancement instead," Angeline cleverly changed the subject.
Jay absent-mindedly muttered, "They're all grown up now, so let them handle it on their own."
Angeline was stunned.
She was much older than the children, so why was she not allowed to handle her own things?
"I think I’m also able to handle things on my own..." Angeline said in a whisper.
Jay stared at her, his eyes growing more serious.
Ultimately, he reluctantly held Angeline's hand and said, "Angeline, you’re not in good health. I'm worried about you."
Angeline was both upset and touched by his gesture... I t seemed like her illness had made Jaybie unable to forget it for the rest of their lives.
"Alright, do as you please." She suddenly showed her white teeth as she smiled.
She had no reason to refuse Jaybie’s care for her anyway.
