Angeline's eyes were misted with tears. She uttered in an exceedingly aggrieved manner, "Why are you scolding me?"
It was obviously his fault. When she was a child, she would hold his hand wherever she went, and that was the cause of her terrible sense of direction.
Now he was blaming her instead?
Jay was slightly dumbfounded. Why was she crying again?
"Tell me where we’re supposed to go right now?" His tone softened inexplicably.
Angeline said guiltily, "If I tell you that I'm lost, would you believe me?"
Of course, Jay would not believe her. Though after seeing Angeline’s blank and adorable face, he found it hard not to believe her either.
To explain herself, she muttered under her breath," Women, in general, have a terrible sense of direction."
Jay retorted furiously, "But you're no ordinary woman!"
Angeline’s face broke out in a delightful grin. "I knew i t, Brother Ben. I'm an extraordinary woman in your eyes."
Jay said, "To me, you're an all-powerful and
omnipotent fighter aircraft amongst women, but your slow wits make you no different from other idiotic women."
Angeline,
He had dealt Angeline with such a tremendous blow that she felt utterly helpless.
In order to prove that she was not slow-witted as he said she was, she pointed at a dimly-lit path in a haughty manner. "Let’s go this way."
Thinking that she had remembered her way home, Jay did not question her further and simply followed behind her in silence.
The road grew darker and there were fewer people seen.
After walking for some time, Jay realized that something did not seem quite right.
The buildings around them looked more and more dilapidated. Judging from the she-devil's net worth, she would not be staying in a slum, right?
"Hey, did you go the wrong way again?" Jay asked doubtfully.
