For both father and son who had obsessive-compulsive disorder, this was tantamount to hearing the worst news ever.Jay shouted, "Wash the lid, Josephine."Josephine inspected the lid with her naked eyes and said, "It’s clean. It’s not dirty at all."Dying to escape, Jenson stood up in a panic. "Mommy, Daddy, I'm going to pick Baby Zetty up from school."Angeline asked curiously, "Isn’t it still a little early before your sister finishes school?"Knowing that Jenson never ate out and would never try Zayne and Josephine’s food, Jay helped him out of his predicament by saying, "Jens has been busy handling the company affairs all day yesterday and hasn’t even met his sister yet. Just let him go.”Angeline replied, "Okay then."In the kitchen. When Zayne was washing the slow cooker’s inner pot, Josephine poured water into the slow cooker without the inner pot and plugged it in… When Zayne returned after washing the pot and noticed the water in it, they both stood there staring at e
Although the stir-fried dishes looked burnt, they were, after all, dishes they had worked so hard to make. Hence, both Josephine and Zayne were hoping that they could gain recognition for their work.Jay, however, refused to eat their food no matter what. Josephine had no choice but to turn to the beautiful and kind Angeline. "Try the cauliflower, Sis Angeline."As soon as Josephine picked up the cauliflower, Jay avoided it like a plague. He picked up his plate and the cauliflower fell on the table.“I spent a lot of effort making it, Brother," Josephine said with a wounded expression.Jay was unmoved. He scooped the soup and fed it to Angeline.Angeline was surprised. "I want to try the food Josephine made, Jaybie."Josephine darted Jay a smug look, but Jay declined in a tactful way. "Angeline, their food is uncooked and their vegetables were fried with dishwashing liquid. It’s not edible.”Angeline was dumbfounded.Josephine was still clueless as to what had actually gone wro
“He avoided you for a few years because he was afraid that he would become a burden to you. Later, my health deteriorated, so Zayne wanted to fulfill my last and final wish."Growing up in an orphanage, I’ve always wanted a home. Zayne married me simply because he wanted to repay me."Later, Zayne recovered miraculously. I think he didn't bring up the subject of divorce at the time because he was concerned about my health. He’s just such a kind boy."Josephine, nothing happened between us.”Josephine burst into tears. "I know, Sis Shirley. I know everything.”Shirley felt greatly relieved. "I’m glad to hear that."With their hands held tight, Josephine smiled through her tears and said, "Sis Angeline told me everything. From now on, like Sis Angeline, I’m going to call you my big sister regardless of what you say, Sis Shirley. You’ll be my beloved sister from now on.”Shirley nodded, moved with emotions. "Mm."When Josephine came out of the ward, she saw Zayne leaning against t
Knowing that Jenson was no match for these boys, she immediately opened her arms and stood in front of Jenson to protect him.Baby Zetty was starting to act like a drama queen now. With a switch in her demeanor, she started flattering those boys. “My boyfriend can’t fight. Please forgive me. You just want me to go to the bar with you, right? Sure. I’ll come with you right away.”Jenson was dumbfounded.He glared at Baby Zetty. "What are you doing?"Baby Zetty whispered to him, "A wise man does not fight when the odds are against him, Jens. Hurry up and run. I have thick skin, so it won’t be as painful for me. Hurry up and go.”Jenson, “...”It turned out that this little brat was trying to protect him.Jenson picked Baby Zetty up by the collar in a domineering manner and placed her behind him like she was a chick, saying, "You know I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. If you have wounds on your face, then don’t come running to me next time.”Baby Zetty wanted to cry but had no
When Jenson drove the Rolls-Royce toward the highway exit, he saw the traffic police inspecting the vehicles. Jenson calmly joined the line of cars at the back.Baby Zetty, on the other hand, was beyond anxious. "You’re not 18 yet, Brother. That’s considered illegal driving.”Jenson raised his driver's license and Baby Zetty's eyes widened in shock. Written clearly on the driver’s license was ‘Jenson Ares, 18 years old’.This was clearly a fake driver's license!Baby Zetty was still worried. "Who would believe that you’re 18 years old?"Jenson said, “We’ll see about that.”At this time, the traffic police walked over and tapped on Jenson's car window.“Driver's license, please."Jenson handed him the driver's license, and the traffic police darted Jenson a glance before sweeping his gaze over the car’s interior. Finding no abnormalities, he then waved to dismiss Jenson.“Go.”Baby Zetty was stumped.The Rolls-Royce pulled into the highway steadily. Baby Zetty had yet to reco
Baby Zetty was stunned. After a very long time, Baby Zetty was heard sighing. "Don’t you think Daddy pampers Mommy a little too much?"Jenson said, "You haven’t seen worse."Jenson knew Daddy's personality well, so after he entered the house, he started walking quietly on his tiptoes for fear of making any loud noise.Baby Zetty, on the other hand, exclaimed excitedly, "Mommy, Daddy, we’re back!"Jay stood on the second-floor corridor, clad in black pajamas. His icy face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Even his voice sounded so low that it was encased in ice. "Shhh. Mommy is sleeping."Having said that, he entered the room, leaving the children with a view of his resolute back.Baby Zetty found it hard to get used to and muttered, "Daddy doesn’t like us anymore, does he?"Jenson poured Baby Zetty a cup of tea and offered her a word of consolation. "You need to get used to it!"Baby Zetty said, "He was really good to us before this, though."Jenson said, "That's because you
Jay gently placed Angeline on the couch. She nestled in his arms softly, and just like that, a small family meeting was convened.Jay said to the children with a stern expression, "Because Mommy is ill, Daddy will spend more time and effort in taking care of Mommy in the future. I’m really sorry for not being able to devote all my time to take care of you.” Jenson was understanding and amenable to reason. "I don't mind, Daddy."Baby Zetty tried to take advantage of the situation. "Since you and Mommy don’t have time to take care of me, why don’t you just leave me with Brother Finn, Daddy?”Jay had already made necessary arrangements for the children. "Jens, I’ve decided to hand over Grand Asia to you. From now on, you will be Grand Asia’s young boss."Jenson was slightly startled. There was a hint of resistance in his deep and profound eyes.Jenson had drafted out a blueprint of his own. He wanted to build his own business empire just like Daddy instead of standing on the should
“Hurry up and text Aunt Josephine, saying that—”Baby Zetty widened her eyes and said, “Mommy, Daddy won’t allow that.”“So we can’t let him know about this. Help Mommy keep this a secret.”Baby Zetty nodded worriedly. “Alright.”Upstairs, Jay said openly to Jenson, “You’re a man, and I don’t care how many ladies you like before marriage, but I need to remind you this—do not touch them.”Jenson nodded coolly. “Mm.”Jay continued, “Jens, you were able to use your three years to graduate from Legendary Youth Academy and that proves that your abilities are extraordinary. I think that you’re more than capable of handling Grand Asia. So when you have some spare time, you can look after your sister for us.”Jenson replied, “Mm.”“Your sister learned to love from an early age, so I’m worried that she will regret it later on. But because your mommy is always by my side, there are some things that I cannot say to your sister for fear that I might make her angry. You’re Baby Zetty’s elde
