After hanging up the phone, Jay was momentarily dazed.
His mother and Angeline just had a fierce argument during the day. Could her sudden onset have something to do with Angeline?
Jay lifted the quilt... He quietly got dressed and kissed Angeline, who was still sleeping soundly, and turned around to leave.
Angeline suddenly opened her eyes and stared dazedly at him.
"I'll go too," she said.
Jay said, "I don’t think you should go, Angeline. Mom i s critically ill. Judy and Sandra will definitely sow discord in front of the Yorks. I don’t want them to give you any trouble.”
Angeline sat up and said, "If I don’t go, then they'll criticize you. You always swallow your grievances. I can't bear seeing them accusing you wrongly.”
Jay could not dissuade Angeline and had no choice but to help her change into her clothes.
Half an hour later.
Tourmaline Estate.
Fragrant Vessel Court was crowded with people.
All the Ares and Yorks family members were restlessly wandering the courtyard like cats on a hot tin roof. They were turning round and round.
When Jay showed up in Fragrant Vessel Court with Angeline, everyone was stunned.
After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, they all breathed sighs of relief as if they had found their mainstay. The Ares family members surrounded Jay and started talking all at once, "You’re finally here, Jay, Angeline.”
