Jay looked at Angeline, who was blushing, then pinched her cheeks endearingly. He smiled and said, "Remember when we were kids? You got drunk, climbed onto trees to grab birds, and even secretly trimmed grandpa's beard...This is nothing compared to those."
Angeline kept quiet.
Her childhood memories in Tourmaline Estate flowed through her mind.
When she was a child, she was a top student who was great in her academics and had a good character. However, she was close with Zayne since they were young and eventually, Zayne, the class clown, changed her for the worse.
All of Angeline's favorite activities then became very male-centric.
It was rare for her to sit down quietly like a lady.
If she had not met Jay, she would not have become a lady.
"Let's go."
Jay dragged Angeline to the outdoor dining area in Château de Selene.
Grand Old Master Ares was sitting in a wheelchair. When he saw Jay and Angeline walking over hand in hand, his wrinkled but elegant face flashed a relieved smile.
It has been 20 years since he last saw Angeline and Jay holding hands in front of him. Now that he saw it again, he felt as if a generation had passed.
"JJ, Angel, come here. How long have you been tossing about last night? Why did you get up so late?" Grand Old Master Ares’ body was getting older but he had a young mentality.
Angeline's face turned as red as an apple.
Jay pulled the chair for Angeline, then rubbed her head while saying, "Grandpa, don't make fun of us. Angeline is shy."
Grand Old Master Ares chuckled and said, "When you were young, you had skin thicker than walls. What happened? You’re becoming shyer."
Angeline hid her face in Jay's arms. "Jaybie, please make him stop."
Grand Old Master Ares started reminiscing about the past. "Angeline, back then, you came to Tourmaline Estate when you were a kid and had blatantly said to me, ‘Grandpa Ares, I’m fond of your baby grandson. From now on, he’s mine. You’re not allowed to find him a wife.’ What happened to the courage you had back then?"
Jay's love for Angeline was only growing stronger with time.
Grand Old Master Ares was done teasing Angeline and shifted his focus to Jay. "JJ, laugh all you want. I still have a lot of stories about your wife. If you want to hear them, come play chess with me. I’ll share them in detail. "
Angeline glared at Jay. "Stop laughing."
Jay suppressed his smile. "I’m not laughing."
However...
Grand Old Master Ares shared another funny memory about Angeline. "Angeline, you should eat more. I still remember that you promised me something back then."
Angeline started eating. She was an overconfident blabbermouth who had made lots of promises to other people.
She was not sure what promise he was talking about.
