Jay grinned when he saw her ears flushing red.“You had quite the audacity when you were teasing me last night and I didn’t see you being this shy. I merely teased you a little in front of Zayne, yet you feel so ashamed?”Angeline said, “I don’t have the same type of relationship with you and Zayne. You’re my life partner while he’s my big brother. You should be the only one hearing the loving words I say.”Jay looked like he was taught something new. “That makes sense.”Angeline let out a sigh of relief.Perhaps last night’s activity had been too tiring for her. Angeline felt more powerless than before. She stretched her arms out and acted coquettishly, “Gimme a hug.”Jay smiled and picked her up. He changed her clothes, washed her face, and brushed her teeth.When he brought Angeline downstairs, she had returned to her most dazzling self.Josephine and Zayne looked at the husband and wife speechlessly. “We’ve been waiting for you for an hour.”Jay replied to her with his sha
Then, Sera heard an annoyed voice. “Then, who are you supposed to be, Sera? Do you think you’re one to bully the eldest miss of the Severe family?”Shirley lifted her gaze as tears flickered in her eyes.It turned out that the person who blocked the slap for her was Zayne.The person who slandered Sera for her was Little Angeline.“I’m sorry I’m late, Sis. I got up a bit late today and have made you suffer,” Angeline explained in shame. Jay squatted in front of Angeline and saw how angry she was. It only made him become distressed and anxious.“Angeline, don’t get upset. It’ll take a toll on your body and I’ll be devastated.”Angeline looked at Jay who was looking at her pitifully with a pair of beautiful, puppy-like eyes.Angeline abruptly smiled and touched his head gently. “Alright, I’m not getting angry.”Jay took her nervous hand and held it tightly in his palm.Josephine suddenly walked up to Madam Ares and stretched out her hand. Her eyes were reddened. “Return the ca
Angeline said to Jay, "I’d like to talk to her alone, Jaybie." Even though Jay was unhappy to have her spend time alone with a vicious woman like Sera, he did not want to throw a wet blanket over her either, so he listened to her and left.Before leaving, however, he darted Jenson a meaningful glance.With that, the others started walking out of the ward one after another.Jenson stood silently in one corner. He would stay back and protect Mommy.When Angeline heard the door of the ward closing, she then said earnestly, "A man’s nature is good at birth. I know that your love and obsession with Jay is the reason why you’ve turned out like this today.”Angeline chose to end her relationship with Sera as sisters on a good note since they were once sisters after all."But you need to understand one thing. Jaybie and I are the sort of people who once we’ve set our minds on being with each other, we will then be faithful until death. We won’t give up on each other just because we fell
When Zayne drove into Sycamore Annex, the crowd cheered and confetti blasted off. The children's cheer and laughter filled the courtyard."Welcome home, Ms. Severe."Shirley walked on the red carpet while Josephine held on to her. Old Master Severe was holding a microphone at this moment, his sonorous voice loud and clear."Dear friends, relatives, and reporters from various media companies, thank you for coming to our humble abode. Today, the Severe family would like to announce two things. Firstly, we would like to first announce a piece of good news, and that is Zayne and Shirley are now divorced—”The guests fell silent at this point.Everyone thought in their hearts, ‘How can this be good news? Is Old Master Severe muddled and confused?’Old Master Severe was grinning from ear to ear. “Let me finish. Although Shirley will no longer be the Severe family's daughter-in-law, she will instead become the Severe family’s eldest daughter. From now on, the lonely and helpless Shirley
When Zayne looked up, Josephine's tears came into view.Zayne felt a pang in his heart.All of a sudden, he went all in and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Josephine Ares, as long as you are willing to marry me, Zayne Severe, I promise that you will lead a pampered life. From then on, you will be my queen and I will do everything you say. Marry me and let me love you, care for you, and protect you all my life. Okay?"Josephine let out a dazzling smile. "Okay."Zayne got up and whispered to Josephine, "Your good nephew tricked me.”A warm current flowed in Josephine's heart. Jens had always been indifferent and distant, but she was surprised to find that he actually cared about her—especially at critical moments like this.Sure enough, all her effort was worth it.Zayne was very much dismayed. "Why do I feel as if I’ve entered a wolf’s den?"The guests could not help but laugh when they saw the youngsters messing around despite their affection for each other. Jay did not like
When it was Josephine's turn, she kept them guessing instead."I’ll do it after Zayne. I’m interested to see what sort of gift he’s giving Sis Shirley."Zayne leaned against the door frame and poked his head in.Holding the folder in his hand, he scratched the back of his head a little awkwardly and chuckled dryly."My gift is definitely going to be Sis Shirley’s favorite."He sounded so confident that he had aroused everyone's curiosity.Josephine snatched the folder and opened it. On the cover were two words—‘Divorce Agreement’.Everyone was stumped.Josephine roared in fury. "Zayne Severe, this is the gift you said Sis Shirley will like?"Zayne nodded proudly. "Uh-huh!"When he saw everyone glaring at him, Zayne felt wronged. "Why are you guys staring at me like that? Sis Shirley was the one who suggested the divorce and forced me to draw up a divorce agreement. Since Sis Shirley is so eager to have a divorce with me, I’m pretty sure this will be her favorite gift.”Shirl
Josephine had always been an egotistical and haughty rich young lady in Zayne's heart, coupled with the fact that her brother was also a rich young master, she was practically a woman who knew no grief or woe even when the sky was falling down.He did not know that there would come a day when she would put herself down like that.Zayne’s heart ached tremendously.It turned out that she was actually so fragile. She must have been terribly hurt after what he did to her back then.He held Josephine tightly and murmured affectionately, "We’re not kids anymore, Josephine. Don’t torture yourself any longer. Let's get married."Josephine raised her shimmering and misty phoenix eyes.Then suddenly, she started unbuttoning her blouse… Zayne was stupefied."What are you doing, Josephine? We’re not married yet.""There’s no need for that!"In order to pursue Zayne, Josephine had gone through thistles and thorns, crossed deserts, got wounded, and shed tears. These formalities were not i
"Fine. 9.99 million it is then."Jay refused to let the matter drop and continued, "Also, stop calling me Master Ares from now on.”“What should I call you then?" Jay was extremely overbearing, but there was nothing Zayne could do about it."Call me Big Brother."Zayne widened his eyes and blurted out, "You want me to call you Big Brother? And you think that’s appropriate? Have you forgotten that you’re my little sister’s husband?”"But now you’re my little sister’s husband.”Zayne said, "You became my brother-in-law first and that’s an unchanging fact. Therefore, you should call me Big Brother.”Jay stared at him. "What are you going to do if I refuse to call you Big Brother?"Zayne served him with the same sauce. "Then I won’t call you Big Brother either.""I won’t allow Josephine to marry you then," Jay said.Zayne widened his eyes so much that his eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.Both Angeline and Jay were already married, so he could not use that as a bargaini
“Madam Angeline, do you have any last words?” The man showed Angeline mercy and gave her the chance to breathe in some air. Angeline pondered upon it for a while and said, “In the past, I only wished for my family’s peace and my children’s health. Right now, I hope that my children will be able to achieve all of their dreams. I hope that Jens will be able to revitalize our family’s business. I hope that Baby Zetty’s wish for there to be no more pain and suffering in the world comes true. I hope that Baby Robbie’s wish for there to be no more separations in families comes true as well.” The man was stunned. The gun in his hands tilted slightly. “Madam Angeline, wealthy people like you live luxurious lives that are free of worries. How would you ever understand the suffering of ordinary people like us? You didn’t mean anything you said to me just now, right?” Angeline said, “I’m about to die. Why would I lie to you? Although I’m from a wealthy family, I’m also a mother. I love
Angeline said, “Although Jens is young, Whitty isn’t at a ripe age anymore. Whitty has waited for Jens for so many years. She should get something in return.” Sir Ares remained silent. However, there was still an unpleasant expression on his face.Upon catching sight of the expression on Sir Ares’ face, Whitty immediately said, “Daddy, Mommy, Jens and I aren’t in a rush to get married. Jens has decided to get married after having a stable career.”Sir Ares seemed to calm down. Jenson stood up and told Sir Ares, “Daddy, I’d like to marry Whitty.” Sir Ares cast a sideway glance at him and asked, “What’s the reason behind your decision to do so?” Jenson said, “I love her.” Sir Ares’ lips upturned slightly. Not only did Jens’ personality resemble that of his, but his outlook on love was similar to his as well.Upon recalling how persistent he was while pursuing Angeline when he was young, Sir Ares knew that he could not stop Jenson.The relationship between father and son w
Sir Ares stared at Angeline speechlessly. At this moment, their memorable love flashed across his mind. He had once loved someone so deeply. He could go against his parents for her as well. Sir Ares sighed and said, “You really can’t keep your children by your side once they’re all grown up.” Angeline stared at the dispirited man before her. Her heart hurt for him. She reached out to hold his hand. Sir Ares smiled at her as she warmed up his hands. He said in an understanding tone, “Angeline, you’re still the best.” Angeline smiled and said, “Of course, I’m the best. That’s because I’m the only person who will stay by your side till the very end. Gale is such an existence for Angel, and Finn is such an existence for Baby Zetty as well.” Sir Ares said, “Alright, stop teasing me. I got it.” Yes, love was above anything else in the world. That was the tradition of the Ares family. Sir Ares was madly in love with Angeline. However, when it came to others, he felt that
However, when Angeline found out about Grayson and Andy’s marriage, she insisted on holding a grand wedding for them.Angeline and Sir Ares called Andy before them. Angeline spoke up in a touched voice, “Andy, I’ve always treated you like my biological daughter. Now that you’re getting married, I’ll marry you off just like you’re my daughter.” Angeline handed a set of jewelry, a bank card, and a key to Andy. She said, “Andy, although Baby Zetty is married, we didn’t hold a grand wedding for her. I don’t know how other families marry off their daughters. Since you’re a girl, you’ll feel secure after having your own property. You’ll have your own freedom after having your own car. You’ll take the effort to dress up after having your own jewelry.” Andy cried tearfully, “Thank you, Mommy.”Angeline hugged Andy and patted her back as she said, “Don’t cry. You must come back often to visit in the future.” “Alright.” After Angeline finished speaking, Sir Ares stared and Grayson an
Whitney handed the envelope over to Andy and said, “Miss Laurel asked me to hand this to you.” Andy slowly opened the envelope under the sisters’ curious gazes. A red spider lily specimen fell out of the envelope.Tears filled Andy’s eyes when she saw it.The sisters all burst into tears. Whitney said, “I don’t know what meaning it holds for you, but I guess Laurel wants to convey something to all of you since she wanted me to hand it to you. Have you understood what she wants to tell you?”Andy cried out loud, “This is the blood oath that we made at the military intelligence division. When we swore to be sisters, Sis Daisy mentioned that although our fates were predetermined in this lifetime and we don’t get to decide how long we’ll be able to live, we can wait for the sisters in the afterlife after death. We must wait for everyone to gather before reincarnation. We can then be reincarnated as sisters in our next life.” Whitney was touched by this beautiful oath. She teared
Jenson then ordered the servants to search every nook and cranny of Tourmaline Estate and Imperial Capital. Baby Robbie seemed to have vanished into thin air. There was no sign of him anywhere.Sir Ares sighed after hearing the news. Angeline gave up after the long search. She told Jenson, “Don’t look for him. He’s all grown up now. We can’t restrain him anymore. Don’t waste more human and physical resources searching for him. Manage Tourmaline Estate well. You and Whitty will have to take responsibility for this household in the future.” Jenson stared into his mommy’s calm eyes. Although he was curious as to why his mommy, who loved her son more than her own life, could react so calmly to his disappearance, he kept that question in his heart. “Yes, mommy.” After leaving Chateau de Selene, Jenson returned to his room in an upset mood. Whitty walked into his room with a cup of hot tea and placed it in his hands gently. “Jens, you’ve been busy every day lately. You must look af
Baby Robbie nodded sternly. After Angeline’s health recovered a little, Baby Robbie paid her a visit at once. His face no longer gave out a childish air. His handsome face exuded a sharpness that resembled that of his father’s.Angeline knew that Baby Robbie would be filled with guilt for the rest of his life after this incident. She also knew that he would change his habit of fooling around and not thinking before acting. “Mommy, it’s all my fault. If I didn’t blindly believe in her, she wouldn’t have the opportunity to damage Tourmaline Estate,” Baby Robbie said. He was filled with self-guilt. Angeline said, “Baby Robbie, I know what you’re thinking. I’m having the same thoughts right now.” ”Baby Robbie was stunned. He glanced evaluatively at the weak and exhausted expression on his mommy’s face. Somehow, Baby Robbie felt upset on behalf of his mommy. It turned out that he was not the only one who did not have a good eye for people. His mommy was in the same boat as we
Jenson decided to rebuild Tourmaline Estate with the underlying theme of ‘remembrance’. Baby Robbie fell silent after looking through the design plans.“Jens, do you think that I’ve committed a huge sin?” He suddenly voiced out his thoughts. Jenson shook his head and said, “Baby Robbie, you didn’t want any of this to happen. However, you should’ve learned your lesson by now. You can’t be kind to everyone at all times.” Baby Robbie nodded and said, “I didn’t understand the meaning behind these words in the past. I get it now.” Jenson was stunned. After Baby Robbie left Jenson’s place, he paid a visit to Angel’s courtyard. Angel was now around seven years old. She was extremely tall and mentally mature. Therefore, she did not seem like a child at all. “Brother, I heard that you haven’t been in a good mood lately. I wanted to look for you since some time ago. However, look at the state that I’m in. How can I go out?” She waved her sleeves slightly. The furniture within the
Sir Ares stared at Sis Thirteen coldly. His gaze was devoid of the fatherly love that he had always shown her.“I knew that you had a hidden motive when you moved into the Ares family back then. However, I didn’t expect you to be so evil and have such a cruel heart at such a young age. Angeline’s love and adoration toward you didn’t warm your heart at all. To me, you’re not just a traitor. You don’t have a heart at all.” Sis Thirteen stared at Sir Ares in shock. Sir Ares’ scoldings seemed to help her better perceive herself. “You hurt my father. You hurt my daddy. That’s why I steeled my heart and decided to take revenge on the Ares family,” she cried out loud. Sir Ares said in a harsh tone, “Karma exists in the world. Why would I hurt him if he didn’t abduct my children? You don’t have the ability to discern right and wrong. You’re just making excuses for yourself. Do you think you’re being reasonable right now?” Sis Thirteen shook her head in devastation. “I only know that
