Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Judy quickly let go of Jay’s hand. She turned around and hurriedly escaped.
Jay looked at Angeline, his consciousness somewhat confused. 1
His hesitation was deemed a manifestation of a guilty conscience in Angeline's eyes.
Angeline's expression darkened, and she proceeded to turn around to enter the house. Then, she slammed the main door shut.
The earth-shattering sound completely awakened Jay from his daze.
He touched his nose and wondered to himself.
Why was Angeline so mad at him?
"Angeline, open the door."
"No. You can go ahead and spend the night in Fragrant Vessel Court." Angeline's furious voice could be heard through the door.
Jay was slightly in a daze. Did he perhaps stay at Fragrant Vessel Court for too long just now and made Angeline angry?
Looking at the closely shut door, Jay sighed weakly.
He never thought the day would come when his wife would completely reject him. Fortunately, he was well versed with Angeline's soft spots and continued to coax her. "My darling, please let me in. I’ll kneel all night if I have to."
"Since you like that person from Fragrant Vessel Court so much, then scram over to Fragrant Vessel Court and spend the night there."
"I do like the people in Fragrant Vessel Court, but it's because they're all my blood relatives. However, my baby is here, and my whole life is here. Come on now, open the door. I want to come in."
Jay was pouring his heart out, but Angeline could not feel the slightest bit of warmth at all.
She buried her face in the pillow and burst into tears.
When Jay heard Angeline crying, he was utterly startled.
He started pounding on the door and shouting vigorously, "Angeline, open the door.”
When the young couple was having a fallout, the servants managed to convey this news to Grand Old Master Ares very soon after.
It was as if Grand Old Master Ares had heard something fictitious. "What? Angeline locked JJ out the door?"
Was Angeline making a fuss over nothing?
However, Grand Old Master Ares still tried his best to b
e on Angeline's side.
"JJ, you're constantly running off to Fragrant Vessel Court whenever you have the time. Plus, every time you go over there, you'd stay for quite some time. Angeline probably thinks that you've abandoned her. You should stay home and keep her company tomorrow."
Jay looked slightly confused. Did he stay too long at Fragrant Vessel Court earlier?
Grand Old Master Ares felt somewhat distressed when he saw Jay in a trance. Jay had been through so much already.
His exhaustion was written all over his face. The occasional dull look in his eyes was akin to a stab in the grand old master's heart.
Grand Old Master Ares shouted toward Angeline, who was in the house, "Angeline, I'll be taking your Jaybie home with me for now. I'll give him a lesson in your stead tonight.”
Angeline's furious voice was heard. "Make him write a letter confessing his wrongdoings to me. It should be a t least 1,000 words. Otherwise, he shouldn't ever dream of setting foot in this house again."
