There was a hint of confusion in the old woman's eyes, but when she noticed Angeline's abnormality, she dared not stimulate her further. She quickly changed the subject. "Who do you think will win?" Angeline muttered, "Jaybie."

The old woman smiled. "I think my husband will win because he's the smartest man I've ever met."

Angeline was unconvinced. Jay was clearly the smartest man in the world.

As Jay was constantly worried about Angeline, he did not go easy on the old man when they played chess. Instead, he went straight for the den as quickly as he could and defeated the old man, catching him unprepared.

The old man let out a boisterous laugh and said, "You won by a narrow margin with your surprise attack. I've underestimated you. Let's have another go. With the level I'm currently at, I shouldn't have lost to you."

Jay let out a shrewd smile. "Not today. I'm taking Angeline home now. We'll play again tomorrow."

Having said that, Jay walked up to Angeline and stroked her head gently. He said in a pampered voice," It's time we go home and get some rest, baby."

Angeline wrapped her arms around his neck naturally and he picked her up. They then bid farewell to the old man and old woman, "Thank you for your hospitality."

The old woman smiled and said, "Bring her over when you have the time. She'll start entertaining wild thoughts if she stays at home all the time. That won't be conducive for her recovery." Jay nodded.

When they got home, Angeline sat dazedly on the couch. Jay placed the oats on the cooker and returned to Angeline's side.

Angeline was terribly quiet today. Jay stretched out his hand and waved it before her eyes. Even so, there were no ripples in Angeline's bright eyes at all.

"What are you thinking about, baby?" Jay was a little anxious. He would be extra careful every time Angeline met someone new.

He was not hoping that the old couple would help Angeline feel better, but her illness must never develop in a bad direction. Angeline's black pupils moved slightly. She shifted her gaze to Jay, locking her inexplicable gaze on Jay's face for a very long time...

Jay touched his face, finding it a little amusing." What's on my face? Why are you looking at me with such a serious expression?"

Angeline did not answer. She had not spoken for a long, long time. This was a sign of extreme reticence. Jay did not expect an instant reply from her either.

However, Jay had never treated Angeline any differently. Even if she refused to speak, he still enjoyed talking to her very much.

"Do I look good?" he asked her.

Angeline was in a good mood. She lay down very suddenly, leaning her head against his knees softly.

Jay was instantly on edge. He thought she fell on his knees because she did not have any strength, but when he saw her large glazed eyes staring blankly at him without a hint of pain, Jay was slightly surprised.

Was this girl acting coquettishly with him?

After coming to this conclusion, the thick and dark clouds that had been hanging above Jay's head for so many days were instantly dispelled. He fixed her hair happily. Her hair was extremely long and dark, and because she was diligent in washing her hair, he could see every strand of her dark and shiny hair.

Hair as beautiful as hers was rarely seen in the world.

"Maybe I should learn how to style your hair and dress you up beautifully. Will you feel better that way?"
