Zayne immediately uttered out his speculation, “Is there any link between Cole and Judy? Don’t try to change the subject and divert our attention from Judy’s love for you.”
Angeline also noticed how far-fetched Jay’s explanation was and said in a fit of pique, “How do you plan to handle that little girl?”
Jay hugged Angeline in his arms and patiently tried to coax her. “You know that I only have feelings for you.”
Angeline smiled in relief.
Meanwhile, Zayne wanted to spoil the harmony. “My sister is asking you how you’re going to deal with that little girl, yet you’re sugarcoating and trying to bluff your way out instead.”
Angeline realized that she was fooled earlier and looked at Jay indignantly. “Hmph, you just skipped my question.”
Jay knitted his eyebrows. He was a grown man now. No girl had ever dared to beg and cling to him before. The only other clingy person was actually his favorite Angeline. He never had the strength to refuse Angeline at all.
How could he make Judy completely give up on him? He could not think of a method for it.
Angeline deliberately tried to provoke him further. “You have no idea how to reject Judy, huh?”
Jay hesitated slightly…
Angeline began to probe further. “You’re trying to avoid my question.”
She pushed him away angrily and turned her head to ignore him.
Jay glanced at Zayne for help, but Zayne merely shrugged powerlessly.
Jay tried to coax Angeline once more. “Let’s be reasonable here, hmm? Angeline?”
Angeline continued to ignore him.
A jealous woman was never someone one could reason with.
Zayne added, “Why are you trying to reason with a woman, Big Brother? Women are the most unreasonable creatures in the world.”
Zayne complained, “I’m not going out there. There’s an assassin on the loose. It’s too dangerous.”
“I’ll ask Grayson and Finn to send you guys there,” Jay said, being unusually kind.
Only then did Zayne and Josephine leave happily.
Once they left, only Jay and Angeline were left in the huge living room.
Jay walked over to Angeline and hugged her from behind. He asked softly, “Are you still angry?”
Angeline was seething as she said, “It’s not like I’m angry at you. I’m merely unhappy.”
Jay knew the feeling well since he was constantly jealous of Cole in the past as well. He had been inexplicably irritable like this too.
He felt strangely happy that Angeline was able to feel jealous because of him.
