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
Baby Zetty and Jenson ate breakfast with ashen looks on their faces.Zayne, Grayson, and Finn hung their heads low. They dared not look into his eyes.“Where’s Angeline?” Jay asked. There was a bone-piercing coldness to his voice.No one dared answer.“Where’s Angeline?” Jay roared.His voice was like thunder booming through the air, shocking everyone until they quaked in their boots.Only then did everyone look at him with fear on their faces.Jenson sighed and explained. “Daddy, Aunt Josephine brought Mommy to Grand Asia Hospital.”Jay suddenly realized that it was the day of Shirley’s surgery. Angeline must have been worried about her, so she asked Josephine to quietly bring her to the hospital.Those things that she said to Josephine yesterday were just a diversion to make him believe that she would stay at home.Jay turned around, went back upstairs, and quickly had a change of clothes. He did not even bother acknowledging or greeting everyone else as he hurriedly rushed
Angeline never expected Jay to arrive that quickly. Her delicate and pretty face suddenly had a look of guilt on it.“Jaybie?” she cried out with a shaky voice.Jay was heaving at that point, his fury emanating all around him.However, he could not be angry at Angeline, so he had no choice but to throw his anger aside.After he suppressed his wrath, Jay then slowly walked toward Angeline, squatted down, and hugged her.“Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming to the hospital? Don’t you know that I’ll be worried about you?” His tone made him sound like a child who was being forced to eat his greens.Angeline caressed his head and replied with guilt in her heart, “Jaybie, it’s because I'm afraid that you’ll be worried about me that I asked Zayne and Grayson to come over and chat with you. That way, they can probably share your worries and burden.”Jay replied, “What’s there to chat between them and me?”Josephine suddenly had a bad feeling, so she stood up silently.Jay was
There was nothing but coldness on Josephine’s side.On the other hand, everything was well over at Angeline’s side.The look in Jay’s eyes made Zayne feel exasperated as he looked at Josephine who was leaning on him like an invertebrate. He said to her, “Don’t be afraid. When your brother wants to settle the score with you, just blame it all on Angeline. I don’t believe that he’ll be angry with Angeline, will he?”Josephine looked at Jay being all lovey-dovey at Angeline. Jay’s eyes looked so soft and gentle that she had no idea how all of that sharpness in his pupils managed to fade without a trace.Josephine suddenly realized what Zayne said was reasonable. With Angeline as her support, Josephine mustered her confidence and straightened her back.“Sis Angeline, I’m sorry. I’ll have to sell you out to save myself,” said Josephine.Jenson rolled his eyes at her. “Shameless.”Josephine, “...”At that moment, Jay suddenly called out, “Jens.”Jenson moved his feet, his hands in h
How were they supposed to chat now that they were sitting that far away from each other?Upstairs in Tempest’s ward.When Jay pushed open the door, he saw numerous tubes plugged into Tempest as he lay there with just a sliver of life left. Jay’s heart hurt when he saw him like that.He walked over and sat on the chair beside the bed, slowly caressing Tempest’s arm that was packed with needles.Pain overflowed from his heart and it showed in his eyes as well. “Tempest, thank you for protecting me with your body. Thank you so much.”When the doctor entered the room, he explained Tempest’s condition to him, “His vitals are stable, but I have no idea why he’s still not conscious yet.”Jay’s expression was solemn. He forcefully grabbed Tempest’s hand, probably because his emotions were slightly out of control.Tempest’s finger trembled slightly in his palm.Jay felt that delicate move and excitedly asked Tempest, “Tempest, can you hear me?”Tempest’s eyelashes twitched.Jay then c
Angeline felt that something was off, so she asked curiously, “What’s wrong, Jaybie?”Jay replied with a hollow tone in his voice, “Nothing, just two stray dogs blocking our way.”The old lady’s body was bent forward as if she was sweeping leaves off the ground. She was shaking and quivering intensely as those eyes of hers suddenly teared up.At that moment, Jenson spoke up, his voice cold as ice, “Daddy, you get Mommy away from here. I’ll handle this.”“Mm.”Jay walked away with Angeline in his arms.Sera shrank away in her shell with all the shame and guilt in the world. Only now she had the guts to look up and watch Jay leave with Angeline.When she saw Jay holding Angeline in his arms so intimately, Sera suddenly thought of the day she first met Jay.On that day, Jay had come to visit Angeline in Swallow City.It was in the courtyard when she first saw him. He was young, unrelenting, and enveloped in a cold aura. She was charmed and bewitched by his nobility and elegance.
