The old couple looked at Angeline in astonishment, secretly wondering why Angeline would suddenly come to visit them.

Angeline hesitated to speak at first. "I... I was bored, so I came to chat with you guys."

The grandpa glanced at Jay, who was standing on the balcony opposite, and smiled, "Are you still bored even if he's around?"

Angeline raised her gaze to look at Jay, only to realize that her abnormal behavior today must have made Jaybie somewhat worried. She made a heart shape with her hands toward him, and Jay shot back an elegant smile.

"Take care of Angeline for me, please." Jay gesticulated to the old couple.

The granny smiled and said, "Don't worry about it."

Then, Jay turned around and entered the house.

The grandpa looked at the breathtakingly stunning Angeline and started joking around with the granny. "I told you. Just look at her, she's so beautiful, yet you were worried that the husband was abusing her.

Who'd be willing to bully such a pretty little lady?"

Angeline swallowed her saliva and was rather

shocked by the old couple's statement.

They had secretly suspected Jaybie was committing domestic violence against her?

The granny seemed to notice Angeline's little protest and explained, "Little lady, don't be too surprised. I'm a doctor, so I'm used to seeing husbands beating up their delicate wives, making them end up in the hospital badly injured. So when we first saw you, we suspected that the gentleman had committed domestic violence against you, which caused you to suffer from such severe anxiety and depression. However, after careful observations in this period of time, I've finally seen how good he is to you."

The grandpa said very proudly, "You always think that all men are terrible and lack confidence in us. At least you're convinced that this isn't the case this time, right?"

The grandpa also mischievously tried to copy the granny's tone as he said, "I'm telling you, old man. About that gentleman living in the opposite house, don't think that he's upright just because of his extraordinary temperament and appearance. I'm willing to bet that he's a hypocrite in private. He's kind to the little lady in front of us, but that's just for show for outsiders. We can't tell whether he tortures her behind our backs. Otherwise, how could that little lady suffer from such serious mental illnesses?"

The granny puffed and said, "Men are always chasing after fame and wealth, and there are very few of them who are infatuated by love. The gentleman opposite is a rare man. He's lofty yet gentle and considerate. Men like him are almost fully extinct now."

Angeline pursed her tiny lips and aggrievedly defended Jay. "My disease is inherited. I encountered something uncomfortable some time ago and relapsed. It really has nothing to do with Jaybie." The granny's face turned gloomy. "How big of a matter was it that it was able to harm you up to this extent?"

Angeline did not want to elaborate further.

The granny said, "Since it's rare for you to be so clear-minded today, then chat more with us."

Angeline smiled sweetly and said, "Grandpa, Grandma, the two of you are so affectionate every day. It's truly enviable. How long have you been married that you're able to maintain the same amount of affection as before?"

Angeline had a suspicion that the granny who looked exactly like Jay might have some connection to the Areses.

She suspected that she was a prominent figure who lived only in their legends.

The couple glanced at each other and chuckled out loud. The granny confessed, "My old husband here and I have known each other for many years. We're what you would call childhood sweethearts. However, when I was young, I was rather obsessed with my career. And my love life was nothing significant to me. Later, I got married several times, but none of those marriages went well. Ultimately, I ended up back with him."

The grandpa added sorrowfully, "I used to be her assistant at work and had a crush on her since I was a child. However, my family was poor, so I dared not confess my feelings to her back then. I was heartbroken to see her getting married so many times. She was smart but didn't have good eyes when it came to picking men. Those men only wanted to be with her with other ideas in mind. So after going in a huge circle for most of our lives, we finally succeeded in being together."
