"What's your type, then?"
"Why are you asking an obvious question?" Cole raged.
Jay thought about it and said, "When Angeline is gentle, she wraps herself around me like a trumpet vine; when she's tough, she protects me from the storm like a giant tree. At other times, she can be obedient, rebellious, and ruthless.
"Sis Shirley may seem soft, but she knows how to fight for injustices. Her strong and soft character resembles Angeline."
Cole gnashed his teeth in anger. “You're just making a forceful analogy."
When Jay noticed how stubborn Cole was, his smile froze on his face. "What about Dawn? Are you not going to think about your son's feelings?"
Cole frowned in agony. "I've already tried my best to bond with Shirley for Dawn's sake, but no matter how many times we meet up with each other, I still don't have any strong feelings for her nor can I feel my heart racing."
Jay asked him, "Does it hurt you to be with her?" "Well, no."
Jay said, "Not every relationship needs to be filled with passion. In fact, plain and simple relationships are the ones that will last in the end."
Cole fell silent.
Jay walked up to him and patted his shoulder, saying, "Life is short, so don't waste your time. Cherish the people around you."
He was about to leave after saying those words...
Just then, Cole called out to him, "I forgot to tell you that Judy and Sandra escaped."
Jay’s back froze. He turned around abruptly, a malicious glint shooting out of his eagle eyes.
"They escaped? Even if they had wings, there’s still no way they could break out of Fragrant Vessel Court." Jay did not believe Cole’s excuse at all.
Cole said, "Maybe my father let them out secretly?"
Jay's eagle eyes shrank abruptly as he roared, "Your father can go to hell."
Cole's eyes turned scarlet. "I hope my mother won't learn about this. She probably won't forgive my father again if she finds out.”
Jay walked back to Cole’s side, a hint of mockery exuding from his eagle eyes.
