Angeline jumped off the bed and dragged Jay back at lightning speed, begging, "Don't go, Jaybie."

Jay turned around, looking down at her from above.

"You're going against me for someone who has hurt you. You're really..." Jay was so furious that he did not know what to say.

Angeline wrapped her arms around his waist and coaxed him quickly, "Let me finish, okay, Jaybie?"

Jay said helplessly, "Alright then."

"She has learned from her mistakes and turned over a new leaf."

Angeline looked at Jay's indifferent gaze and added," You must believe me, Jaybie."

However, Jay's trust in Chloe had been exhausted. Whenever he recalled the things she had done, he could not bring himself to trust Chloe even just a bit.

Angeline let go of him, rushed clumsily to the safe, and took out two jewelry boxes.

"Look, these are the gifts she gave me," Angeline said with delight.

Jay said self-deprecatingly, "Looks like I've not taught you well enough. How can you allow others to bribe

you with meager gifts like that?"

Angeline said, "Why don't you take a look first before you say anything?"

She opened the box and took out the ancestral necklace Chloe gave her. "See?"

Jay looked at the jade necklace and his eyes became filled with disappointment. "So this cheap thing is what moved you?" Angeline,"..."

"This stuff isn't cheap."

"If you like it, I'll buy you all the jade necklaces all over Imperial Capital. Return this to her." He reached out to snatch the jade necklace.

Angeline took the opportunity to press onto the jade necklace using her body to prevent Jay from snatching it.

Angeline explained, "The necklace isn't expensive, Jaybie, but it has an extraordinary origin."

Jay was stunned. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he was making a fuss. Angeline was not a materialistic person, so how could she possibly be bribed with a mere necklace? "Go ahead then." He walked back into the room and sat down.

Angeline held up the jade necklace and said, "This was given to your grandmother by your great-

grandmother. Your grandmother gave it to your mother, and now your mother is giving it to me."

Jay curled his lips. "This was passed down from our ancestors?"

Angeline nodded. "Yes, Mom said that this necklace is only passed down to daughters, but since she doesn't have a daughter, she passed it to me."

Jay said, "You believe what she said?"

Angeline nodded. "Yes, I do."

Jay fell silent.

It was not so much that Angeline was innocent and easy to trick, but maybe she had the desire to see them reconcile as mother and son and to gain her mother-in-law's recognition. This desire was so strong that even a hint of kindness that Chloe showed her could win her heart.

"Come here, Angeline."

Angeline sauntered over, and Jay pulled her onto his lap

"You don't have to consider my feelings, Angeline. I'm mentally prepared to stop seeing her and be universally condemned. As long as you're safe, I know that my decision will be worthwhile."

Angeline's eyes turned pink. "Don't be silly, Jaybie. I don't want others to condemn you nor see you lose your mother, more so live in guilt."

Jay said, "Don't be silly, Angeline. Even the moon in the sky can't be round all the time."

Angeline said, "Trust me, Jaybie. Mom has turned over a new leaf. In fact, she gave me the necklace because she has acknowledged me as her daughter."

Jay thought that Angeline was really silly and adorable.

"What's in the other box?"

Angeline took the box and said with a smile, "Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Jay opened the box and saw the jade necklace he had made for Angeline. The joy of regaining something that he had lost put a smile on his face.
