Love was in the air.

All the employees gawped at Jay and Angeline in astonishment.

When Jay realized that he had failed to control his emotions, he put on his usual iceberg of a face and walked up to Tiger to play Legos with him. Angeline recalled what Zayne told her earlier, that she would irritate him if she approached him, but if she did not, then she would have no chance at all. She scratched her head in frustration, then summoned her courage before walking over.

Jay was teaching Tiger how to pile up the Lego pieces. No matter how high he piled the Legos, Tiger would push them down in delight.

Jay was slightly angry now. "Daddy is teaching you how to pile up the Legos, not how to cause trouble."

Tiger was already not close to him, hence he burst out crying at the top of his lungs, asking for his mommy.

Jay tugged his hair in exhaustion.

He had been accompanying Tiger in the hospital for the past few days, yet no matter how hard he tried, he still could not get his kindness across. Tiger

continued to reject him very much.

Angeline picked Tiger up. "Don't cry, Tiger. Let's go play the bubble machine."

With a new toy to distract him, Tiger quickly stopped crying.

After playing for a while, however, he started crying for his mother again.

Jay picked him up with a dark countenance. "Alright then, Daddy will take you to Mommy."

He then went downstairs and left all the guests behind.

Lumino Garden was a thousand-acre wide residential area.

The greenery at the residential area gave off a traditional garden vibe. Both sides of the road were lined with lush trees, and rockery fountains were hidden in dense bushes. The roads branched out and were scattered throughout the trees and bushes.

Jay had no idea where the community's farmer's market was, hence he could only trudge ahead blindly and aimlessly.

Due to his withdrawn and unsociable personality, he preferred places with few people, hence he chose a winding path through a bamboo forest.

When he arrived at the inner path of the forest, he heard unspeakable sounds coming from the woods. When Jay turned around to walk back, Tiger started

crying out, "I want Mommy."

All of a sudden, it was all quiet in the woods and Marilyn was heard crying out for help, "Help me, darling."

Jay's expression changed immediately. He put Tiger down and rushed into the dense woods only to see a man fleeing in a panic while grabbing his clothes.

He was just about to make chase when he caught a whiff of the familiar cigarette smell that lingered in the air.

All of a sudden, a fire was set ablaze in his heart.

He turned around and reprimanded Marilyn coldly," Put your clothes on."

Marilyn put on her clothes and reached out to hold his arm in search of a sense of security when he evaded her deftly.

Marilyn caught sight of the immense disgust exuding from his eyes.

"Do you find me unclean now, darling?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Jay's voice carried no warmth at all. "Yes."

Marilyn staggered and burst out crying. "Do you think I wished for this to happen? Instead of showing me any compassion, you're finding me disgusting instead? But I'm a victim!"

Jay darted her a razor-sharp glance. "I understand now. There are two types of women out there. The first are those who look weak, innocent, gentle, and kind, yet with a devil residing within. Women of the second type may look ferocious and fierce, yet they're kind at heart. And you, Marilyn, you are the former."

Marilyn cowered in fear. "What do you mean by that?"

Jay spoke through gritted teeth, "I'm so disappointed in you."

He then turned around and left.

Marilyn picked Tiger up and chased after him." Darling, even if you find me unclean, you can't just leave our son behind like that!"

She deliberately emphasized the words 'our son'.

For a second, Jay paused in his steps. As Angeline's jokes from earlier echoed in his ears, a self-deprecating sneer emerged at the corner of his lips. Tiger was probably not his son too, right?
