Jay's deep gaze shot toward the door. "Where’s Rose?"
"She’s in a bad mood. She’s sitting on the sofa, lost in thought."
Josephine looked at Jay and caught the irritability floating in his eyes. Josephine used the current topic t o ask, "Brother, you seem to be worried about her?"
"She’ll be my wife soon. Should I not worry about her?" Jay asked.
"Rose doesn't want to marry you. I don't understand. There are so many women in Imperial Capital, so why must you force her to marry you?" Josephine was puzzled.
"It can only be her." Firmness flashed in Jay's eyes.
Josephine embraced both his arms and stepped forward, standing close to him. Then, she carefully examined his eyes and asked, "Brother, tell me honestly. Do you still have Angeline in your heart?"
Jay nodded.
"Since there’s still Angeline, why do you still show such deep affection for Sister-in-law? Brother, this isn’t fair to her."
Jay looked at Josephine fixedly. "I love Angeline and Rose now. This is not a contradiction. Josephine, I don't need you to care about this matter. Just give us
your blessing."
Josephine was confused. She initially thought that her elder brother had forced her sister-in-law to remarry him for the children. Who would have thought that he would admit he loved Rose.
"Well then, I wish you both well." Josephine shrugged.
After coming out of Jay’s bedroom, Josephine saw that Rose had drunk the bowl of lotus seed soup when she came downstairs. There were only a few lotus seeds left at the bottom of the bowl.
Josephine was shocked in place.
She liked to drink lotus seed soup but did not eat the lotus seeds? Angeline also had that habit.
Could that be why big brother liked sister-in-law?
Simply because her personality and her many hobbies were similar to Angelina's? He was using Sister-in-law as a substitute for Angeline?
