It was not until Zayne hugged the child and ran out to play with him that Angeline finally averted her attention to Sis Shirley and Mrs. Yorks.
"Aunt Crystal, Sis Shirley, what important matter brings you to Tourmaline Estate this time?" Angeline had a straightforward personality and would speak straight from her heart. She would feel uncomfortable holding it in.
The development of her personality was also because she had been doted on by others since she was a child. As such, she did not have to worry about the consequences of doing such things. Growing up in such an environment had made her unafraid of the slightest thing, yet she was still gentle.
Mrs. Yorks' expression appeared distressed.
Sis Shirley took Mrs. Yorks' hand and patted the back of it, comforting her. "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it to Angeline."
Mrs. Yorks nodded after hesitating for a moment." Let’s go in and talk about it."
Several of them moved to the inner courtyard of Chateau de Selene where they sat around the table in the pavilion.
Jay sat a distance away, quietly thinking about his proposal to Angeline.
He would still glance at Angeline from time to time.
With Angeline in his field of vision, his heart felt more at ease.
Mrs. Yorks took a sip of tea and started talking.
"Angeline, I'm here today to verify one thing with you. I heard that Chloe and Sandra used Love Potion on Jay. Although it's something that came from Yorks Stronghold, I merely married into the family as an outsider. Besides, I spent many years as an anchorite.
I don’t have a clue about what it actually is. Can you tell me what harm it does?"
Angeline’s face turned sorrowful when they mentioned Love Potion.
"It’s an atrociously harmful thing, Aunt Crystal. Not only can it affect the victim's nerves and make them lose control of their consciousness, but what's even more terrible is that after consuming that thing, Jaybie mistook Judy for me. If not for Jaybie being a germaphobe and the fact that he finds other women repulsive, I would’ve thought that he had made the biggest mistake of his life."
Mrs. Yorks gasped. "What?"
