Jay looked at Jenson and saw that Jenson’s gaze was crystal clear without any impurities. He had raised this child and knew Jenson‘s personality very well. Jenson’s character was similar to his. They were both so arrogant that they did not need to tell a lie to get what they wanted.Jay said, “Nancy, let‘s discuss this another day. I’ll bring the children home first.”Nancy bit her lip. Her hard work was now going down the drain because of the sudden appearance of Baby Robbie. She was feeling aggrieved and resentful.However, she had no choice but to obediently submit to Jay’s arrangements. “Jay, I’ll head home first.”Nancy left reluctantly. Looking at her dejected expression, Baby Robbie and Jenson felt guilty. They were only innocent children.“Satisfied?” Jay looked at the two mischievous boys with his hands crossed over his chest. He questioned them with a furious expression.Baby Robbie hung his head low in obedience after he realized that he had done something wrong. He lo
Jenson usually had an icy cold expression. When he suddenly smiled, it looked like flowers blooming in springtime where a myriad of colors came bursting out. His smile was so beautiful that the surrounding colors faded.Finally, Jay reached out to pinch on Jenson’s cheeks. Within the viciousness was a gentle threat. “Delete this out of your memory completely.”Jenson obediently nodded.Finally, the night was approaching. Because of Jenson’s peculiar dietary requirements, Jay decided to bring the boys home.All of a sudden, Jenson broke the rule and said, “Daddy, let’s eat out.”Jay was stunned. “Can we?”Jenson pouted and lightly nodded his head.Jenson‘s temperament was always clean and tranquil. Each word he spoke was always after thorough deliberation.Jay was surprised yet excited. “Jenson, when did you overcome your fear of eating out?”Jenson tilted his head upward 45 degrees to the sky. “Mommy said that the brave have no fear, the travelers have no borders, and the wise
“There’s no problem that money cannot solve,” Old Master Ares confidently said across the phone.The Ares family had never been short of money, thus for generations, they followed this golden rule.There was nothing too difficult in this world as long as the right price was offered.However, a few days ago when Jay practiced this golden rule, he was rudely splashed with tea by Rose and became pathetic looking.Therefore when Old Master Ares mentioned this golden rule, Jay suddenly found it childish and materialistic.“Dad, Rose doesn’t want money. She only wants her son.” Jay gravely informed Old Master Ares. “That is why I cannot be sure that the child can smoothly attend the press conference tomorrow.”Old Master Ares was silent for a moment before saying, “She doesn‘t want money? Not bad, she’s a woman with principles and guts. But what is she going to use to fight against our Ares family?”Jay replied, “I want to know the answer as well.” He then hung up the call.It was af
An earth-shattering transformation happened outside while they were having lunch. When Jay and the children left the restaurant with the packed food, he noticed a long formation of luxury cars parked outside. Bodyguards in neat uniforms stood in high alert next to each of those cars. Jay's first reaction to seeing the excessive display was to carry Jenson in his arms. Jenson was not fond of crowds, and he detested being touched by strangers. That was why Jenson's grandparents did not hire nannies or drivers for their beloved grandchild and instead brought him around personally, like normal peasants. However, four generations of the Ares family lived together in the same estate. Jenson's grandparents and Jay might keep a low profile, but Grand Old Master Ares and his three other sons were extraordinarily extravagant. Whenever they went out, there was a cavalcade of luxury cars and countless bodyguards. Sometimes, there were even journalists tailing them for live coverage, whic
Baby Robbie looked visibly reluctant. He lifted his head and looked innocently at Daddy. "Daddy, I want to go home. To Exuberant City," he said softly. Jay was not very happy when he looked at Baby Robbie's pleading eyes, though he kept his cool. "Baby Robbie, Great Grandpa, and your Great Uncles are personally here to bring you back home. Why don't you come with me to the Ares family estate for a few days?" Baby Robbie was not too fond of the idea, though he did not want Great Grandpa to think that he was a rude little boy. He reluctantly nodded but continued to bargain with Daddy. "Two days at most, Daddy. After two days, I want to return to Exuberant City no matter what. Otherwise, Mommy will worry." "Alright." Jay nodded and made the promise. That was how Baby Robbie was brought into the car and transported back to Tourmaline Estate. Tourmaline Estate occupied an area of several thousand acres. The buildings were built with natural stone. They looked hefty and extravagant
Grand Old Master Ares sighed. "Why are you two young fellows so afraid? Your Great Grandpa isn't a fierce tiger, I won't eat you! Come, Great Grandpa has prepared a welcome gift for you. If you don't have the courage to take it, then I'll change my mind and take the gift back. The uncles and aunts laughed, though the laughter sounded rather awkward as though they were done out of courtesy for the Grand Old Master. Robbie and Jenson did not respond to the Grand Old Master, which made him look rather unpleasant. "Dad, these two boys have such meek attitudes. They don't look like their dad at all. Wasn't Jay a wild child when he was young?" John said. Those words sounded like a joke, but the implication was that the two children were not actually Jay's real children. Jay's expression darkened at that instant. Baby Robbie happened to catch the sight of his father's sullen expression. He slid down from Josephine's body, then swaggered over to his Great Grandpa with his short stu
Grand Old Master Ares's gnarled hand patted heavily on the thick stack of banknotes. His usually sharp and penetrating gaze flashed with a hint of childish glee. "If you know that the money can buy you so many good things, then why did you reject it?" He said lovingly.'Great Grandpa knows that you and Mommy are staying in a rental room. Baby Robbie, with this money, you can buy your Mommy a big house and she’ll be very very happy.' Baby Robbie lifted his head. "Great Grandpa, Mommy and I indeed are not as rich as you, but that doesn't mean that we can simply accept gifts from anyone. Mommy has taught me that I should live by my own means. If I want a better life, I should work harder to achieve that on my own," he said confidently to Grand Old Master Ares. "Mommy also said that misfortune can come from fortune, and fortune can come from misfortune. Great Grandpa giving me so much money might seem like a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, there is a great danger hi
Baby Robbie reached out with his cute little hand and pulled out six banknotes from the stack. He smiled sweetly. "Great Grandpa, six hundred is enough for a welcome gift." Everyone was stunned by the gesture. The other great uncles, great aunts, uncles, and aunts had also prepared their lavish welcome gifts. Now that Grand Old Master Ares did not manage to bestow his welcome gift upon the boy, they looked at each other and did not know what to do. John was the first to stuff his red packet back into his pocket. "If the little fella doesn't want it, then we shouldn't force it on him. Don't you think so too, Jay?" "It's fine if we skip the welcome gifts. We're not short on money anyway," Jay said. Grand Old Master Ares waved his hand at the other people. "All of you can leave the hall. I have something to discuss with Jay." The other people filed out of the hall. Josephine left the hall while carrying Jenson in her arms and holding Robbie by the hand. Jay looked at his
