Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1557

Angeline stubbornly said, "Everyone's heart is made of flesh. Perhaps if I cook a meal for her, it'll soften her heart."

Sis Shirley and Josie could not hold Angeline back, so they could only help her with the cooking process.

After working up a sweat the entire day, a meal consisting of plain tea and simple dishes was presented. When Angeline brought the food to the table, Chloe incessantly chided, "You sure took your time to cool up a whole meal. It shows how infrequent you've cooked in the past. Angeline, do you often starve my Jay?"

Angeline wiped the cold sweat off her forehead and smiled in a good-tempered manner. She replied," Mom, even if I can't cook, there are servants at home who can. Don't worry, your darling son won't starve to death."

Hearing Angeline talking back, Chloe threw the utensils in her hand to the ground and retorted, "You truly are manipulative. Do you think I'm not aware of how much Jay doesn't like the servants' cooking? Jay has been the one waiting upon you for the past few years, isn't it?"

Angeline drooped her head, feeling slightly at a loss.

"Mom, the marriage law doesn't stipulate that husbands aren't allowed to cook, right?" she muttered in dissatisfaction. Angeline had been cooking the whole day and she barely received any words of approval She gave up and stopped bothering altogether now. Even her temper was showing.

Chloe snorted coldly. "So, this is your true color? The squeamish Miss High and Mighty who can't seem to do anything and merely depends on men. Are you Jay's little parasite?"

Angeline felt her self-esteem being trampled to bits by Chloe, and she felt slightly aggrieved. Her heart was getting sore and swollen, and this wave of sentimental sorrow had not passed before Chloe hit her with a more brutal attack.

"I'm not expecting you to do anything. But since you're not capable of taking good care of Jay, then stop trying to keep him to yourself. Let Judy, who's younger, more beautiful, more virtuous, and more capable than you, marry Jay. You shouldn't be hindering him."

Monogamy was Angelina's final bottom line.

Chloe was provoking her bottom line, and this made Angeline fume instantly. She stuck out her chest and sulked. "Mom, I'm in charge of my marriage. Monogamy is the one thing that I'll abide by and it's my base limit. If you want your son to marry Judy, then request for him to divorce me beforehand."

After saying this, Angeline left without looking back. Josephine and Sis Shirley hurriedly chased after her. Chloe's girlfriends, who were watching the bustling scene unfold, immediately launched fierce criticisms against Angelina's revolt.

"Goodness gracious, how rebellious! The daughter-in-law went as far as to give an attitude to her mother-in-law. This is truly unprecedented in Yorks Stronghold."

Chloe clenched her fists in anger and said in a pique," Hmph, Angeline Severe, don't you for a second think that Jay wouldn't divorce you just because he spoils you. I'd like to see if he'll choose me, his biological mother, or a useless daughter-in-law like you."

Once Angeline returned to Green Plum Town, she sent Josie and Sis Shirley home. "You guys should head back."

Josephine said, "Should I go in and keep you company, Sis Angeline?"

Angeline replied, "There's no need. Your brother's inside, and I don't want him to know about the little spat I had with my mother-in-law. It'll put him in a difficult situation."

Sis Shirley said thoughtfully, "Lil Angeline, call us if anything is going on. Remember that we're your strongest supporters." "Okay." After Josie and Sis Shirley left, Angeline stepped on the hazy moonlight that shone on the ground and opened the door to enter Green Plum Town's courtyard.

The house was dark, which meant Jay and the children had not returned home just yet.

After Angeline entered the house, she was too dispirited to switch on the lights and dragged her weary body to the edge of the bed. Then, she lay on it and slept in her current attire.

Her fatigued body felt as if there was a colossal whirlpool enveloping her. The harsh words Chloe spat out were still ringing in Angeline's ears, and there was a burst of sadness in her heart.

For the first time, she despised her uncontrollable mortal flesh so much. It failed to endure any hardships, making her live her life like a piece of garbage.

Her body's weariness was getting more severe, and Angeline's mind was like a flood. As she indulged in her imagination, she seemed to have foreseen her future.

Mom was reducing her to nothing more than trash day by day, while Jaybie was caught between the two of them. She had failed to meet her mother-in-law's requirement of wishing she was like any other daughter-in-law who was healthy and could take good care of their family.
