Then, like Sherlock Holmes, he cracked the riddle. "0 h. I get it now. Angeline must've done something wrong and made Brother Jay mad. Brother Jay wants t o lose his temper but because Angeline's pregnant..."
Having said that, Zayne cast his gaze on Angeline's belly. "Are you... really pregnant? Or are you just deceiving your man?"
Angeline quivered in fear and cast an anxious gaze at Jay.
Jay noticed the flicker in her eyes and his eagle eyes contracted abruptly as he awaited her reply with a stern expression.
Zayne probably thought that things were not serious enough and muttered, "You haven't gotten pregnant for so many years, can you still get pregnant?"
Angeline was so furious that she clenched her fists and rushed over to hammer Zayne. "Darn it, Zayne. Do you even hear yourself? Who says I can't get pregnant?"
Zayne ran out, and Angeline chased after him.
When they ran out the door, Zayne ran back but Angeline stood still.
Knowing that something fishy was going on, Zayne
pointed at Angeline’s nose and scolded her, "So you’re lying to Brother Jay? Angelina Severe, you must be asking for a beating. How can you joke about things like that?"
Angelina dropped her head and muttered aggrievedly, "He’d have a cold war with me if I hadn't lied."
Zayne took on the role of a peacemaker and said, "Spit it out. What did you do? Brother Jay has never raised his voice at you, so how could he possibly give you the cold shoulder? You must have crossed the line this time..."
"I didn't. I’m going to have a kiss scene with an actor and he's jealous about it..."
Zayne asked, “Does that actor look good?"
Angeline said, "Of course, he looks good. He's Ash Long, an Oscar-winning actor. Not only is he handsome, but he's also really stylish..."
Zayne swallowed his saliva. "Look how smitten you are! Now I know why Brother Jay is mad. You’re asking for a beating!"
At this moment, Jay walked out with a dark expression. He had overheard Angeline and Zayne’s conversation, and the fury in his heart filled every fiber of his being.
He did not lose his temper and simply stared at Angeline with a pair of sullen eyes.
Angeline put on a bitter expression and muttered an
apology, "I’m sorry, Jaybie. I was wrong.”
