Angeline picked up a cherry. As she was eating it, she complained while tearing, "It's cruel and inhumane. How could you do this to a pregnant woman?"

Jay asked her, "Didn't you refrain from eating and drinking when you were pregnant with Jens and the others?"

Angeline said, "I had to escape your pursuit then. I was squatting in the rented room and never knew when my next meal was. I was very nervous then, and since my energy was always shifting, my morning sickness was not so severe."

Jay was so ashamed that he could not show his face.

Angeline, however, missed that time very much. "It wasn't like how it is now, being imprisoned by you and being forced to eat. You only care for the small issues and ignore the big ones."

She choked up as she spoke.

Jay,

It was obvious that she was the only one in his heart. He was forcing her to eat because he did not want her to become too thin.

"I'm going out this afternoon. Tell the maid what you want to eat. Don't starve... my baby." He licked his lips. Those last words were full of meaning. Angeline nodded repeatedly.

Jay saw a glimmer of expectation in her eyes... She was looking forward to him not being at home so that she could run amok.

At lunch, Angeline ate some rice for show.

Jay had hurried out after finishing his lunch.

Angeline was relieved.

She tried to find the exit of the house, but after slipping around upstairs and downstairs a few times, she could not find it.

She leaned against the window and looked outside. Outside was farmland and crops-an unfamiliar environment.

She did not know what godforsaken place Jay had caged her at.

She called for the maid. While smiling flatteringly at her, she then tried to dig for some information. "Do you know where this is?"

The maid shook her head. "I don't know. I come from another part of the country."

Angeline's mouth was wide open. Jay was too amazing.

Did he want her to live a life of isolation?

Angeline looked at the maid wickedly and could only treat her as an accomplice of Jay's, not being able to stop herself from having ill-feelings toward her.

The maid also seemed to be a senseless and talkative person as she had started talking to her a little, "Miss Severe, you're so blessed. The mister loves you so much."

Angeline looked around the cage-like castle with a sneer at the corners of her mouth.

How could anyone imprison their beloved woman in such a dark, unjust place?

Noting her silence, the maid turned around and went back to work.

Angeline simply went back to her room, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep again.

Grand Asia.

As soon as Jay arrived at Imperial Capital, Grayson greeted him with a solemn expression.

"President Ares!"

Jay looked at him. "Speak."

"This incident might not be a big deal, but I think there's something unusual about it and dare not hide it," Grayson said lightly, but Jay felt as if he could sense a trace of unusualness.

Under the light of the president's eagle eyes, Grayson did not dare hesitate and said in one breath, "A few days ago, someone asked a retiree of Tourmaline

Estate about your mother's situation. Fortunately, they were a dementia patient and only shared that they had seen your mother in Tourmaline Estate. They didn't disclose anything else." Hearing this news, Jay was so shocked that he did not say a word for a long time.

Grayson said, "President Ares, maybe this is a coincidence?"

After all, there was always someone thinking of another person in this world. Did this kind of thing not happen every day?

Jay's expression was solemn.

As the Ares household was shrouded in thick fog and haze, any breeze or blade of grass could cause the time bomb to explode.

He dared not be careless.
