Jay would never have thought that he was capable of doing such absolutely disgraceful actions yesterday evening. Even though Angeline had forgiven him, it was not easy for him to forgive himself. After all, how hard must it have been on Angeline to know that he had been unfaithful?
Jay felt immensely guilty toward Angeline. Tears were welled up in his crimson eyes. He held her tightly but could not say a word.
Angeline sensed how remorseful he was and patted him on the back, soothing him. "It's alright now. I forgive you. Just try and avoid her from now on."
Jay said quietly, "Angeline, I might be having auditory hallucinations."
Angeline looked at him in astonishment. A considerable panic appeared in her eyes.
Jay continued, "I don’t want you to worry about my body. But I don’t want you to misunderstand me even more. Jaybie is not a half-hearted person who'd be unfaithful."
It was the lesser of two evils!
Jay chose to tell the truth because the truth would be less harmful to Angeline than such a
misunderstanding.
Angeline tried to recall Jay's behavior toward Judy last night. It did feel a little strange when she thought about it now.
Jay had always acted so cautiously. If he genuinely did plan to cheat on her with Judy, why would he come to the entrance of Chateau de Selene and flirt so openly with her?
Judging by his shrewdness, he would not have left a trace of evidence.
Moreover, how he touched Judy’s head last night...
Was that not the same intimate action he often did to her?
Angeline was slightly in disbelief, but she felt that this was the only reasonable explanation if she were to recall all the details that happened yesterday.
