Cole moved his fist as he said, "Jens, please watch him closely. I’ll be sure to reward you.” Baby Robbie and Jenson leaned back at the same time. Both of them moved as fast as lightning, their movements surprisingly in-sync. Cole missed Baby Robbie, so he stepped over and stood on Jenson and Baby Robbie's feet. He thought that his weight would be sufficient to keep them in place. After all, Baby Robbie and Jens’ bodies were leaned back to the maximum limit, which was when an individual’s endurance was at its weakest. Both of them were still locked together due to the cuffs, so they would not be able to escape as easily. Unexpectedly, Jenson and Baby Robbie lay on the ground and kicked their legs tacitly. Both of their kicks fell on Cole's back, and Cole fell backward immediately. Noel looked at Jenson and Baby Robbie a little suspiciously. He wondered out loud. "Are these two people learning martial arts from the same school?" Jay shook his head. "No." "Then how can t
Angeline walked to Cole and suddenly grabbed his hands. When she saw Cole's hand, which was missing the little finger and a nail on his thumb, Angeline felt horrible. Cole lost his little finger to protect her. The missing nail from his thumb was caused by Baby Robbie when he sought revenge for his father’s sake. Angeline let go of his hand and said, "I have no objections if you want to seek revenge on him. However, there shouldn’t be any bloodshed during the new year. After the new year, you can fight him." "Angeline, are you really willing to hand him over to me?" Cole asked in disbelief as he narrowed his eyes.Angeline was reluctant, but she still nodded gently. Angeline turned back to face Baby Robbie and said softly, "My dear child, you were in the wrong. You took off his nails and almost killed him, so if he wants to take revenge on you, you will bravely bear it." Baby Robbie nodded bravely. "I will do that." Angeline continued, "But, don't forget, he also
“Yes.”Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.Angeline looked at the beautiful mountain stream as well as the red and green plants. The red ones were autumn maple and golden raintree while the green ones were sweet-scented osmanthus. Her hatred toward Cole had inexplicably diminished.Jay came over and hugged her from behind. He said in a sour manner, “I knew you’d like it here, Angeline.”Angeline felt guilty. “Every tree here symbolizes the time Cole had been waiting for me. Every courtyard here is Cole’s tolerance for me. But in this lifetime, I’m destined to let him down.”Jay sighed with sorrow. “Humans are not plants, so we’re not heartless. Angeline, I’ll allow you to feel moved by this, but I won’t allow you to feel anything more.”Angeline had always been determined and resolute in dealing with romantic feelings and would never drag things out.Angeline took Jay’s hand and recited the vow affectionately, “In sickness and in health, until death do us part.“I only have that one w
Angeline was not idly sitting by when Jay was renovating Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.She was knitting a pair of macrame knots into white long and thick bands from day till night. There were two Turk's head knots, one on the left and one on the right. Trumpet creepers connected them in the middle. Once she was done, Angeline brought the band over to Cold River Park where Jenson and Baby Robbie lived.Jenson and Baby Robbie were playing chess. Jenson had just pulled off a checkmate and was looking at the troubled Baby Robbie complacently, saying, "You have nowhere to go except surrender."Baby Robbie was unconvinced as he grabbed onto his head, unwilling to admit defeat. He said, "I admit that your brain is better than mine. On paper, you're better at talking about war, but when it's time to act and use your hands, you're definitely not a worthy opponent of mine."Jenson flipped the chessboard angrily and said, "Then, let's give it a go."Hence, the two boys fought at a close ran
Jens hated it when his uncle isolated poor Baby Robbie to help him out. He immediately lost his temper and scolded Zayne, “My matters are none of your business.”“Why are you so offended? Uncle is only helping you out because you seem like you can’t beat him.”“Nonsense, why can’t I beat him?” Jenson was not admitting defeat.Zayne said, “Well, it appears your clothes are more torn apart than his.”Jenson replied, “That’s not the right way to judge the outcome. The victor has to knock his opponent to the ground first.”Zayne and Josephine looked at each other in dismay. “Doesn’t it mean this is going to be endless?”Would this be okay?Just when Zayne and Josephine were at a loss, Angeline came to visit.Josephine looked at Angeline who was coming from a distance and started waving. “Sis Angeline.”Jenson and Baby Robbie, who had been fighting ferociously, suddenly glanced at each other tacitly. Then, they obediently sat on the shabby sofa.Zayne was dumbstruck. “F*ck! My mou
Jenson replied, “Behind the mural.”Angeline took out the key from behind the mural and walked toward Baby Robbie.Zayne yelled in a panic, “What are you doing, Angeline? Are you letting this hoodlum go?”Angeline looked at Baby Robbie tenderly. In her eyes, it did not matter how mysterious and terrifying his identity was now and how much blood he had spilled, or how many insidious things Baby Robbie did. He would always be her most innocent child.Angeline unlocked Baby Robbie’s handcuffs, held up his injured hand, and stroked on it gently. The compassion in her eyes revealed the tolerance and selflessness of maternal love.Baby Robbie was free now, and he had the sudden urge to squeeze a mischievous sneer toward Zayne.Zayne was so scared that he quickly jumped on Josephine to find a sense of security. He said while shivering, “Little fellow, I’ll be your most faithful minion from now on. So… So, you mustn’t try to kill me!”Baby Robbie was smug inwardly.Angeline proceeded t
Then, the macrame knots ultimately confirmed Josephine’s speculation.She was almost sure that the prisoner was Baby Robbie.Zayne was afraid that once Baby Robbie broke free from the flimsy knots, it would be bad for them. Hence, he tried to pull Josephine away.Josephine broke free from his hand and strolled toward Baby Robbie. She tentatively asked, “Do you want to escape?”Baby Robbie lifted the macrame knots and put on a bitter expression on his handsome face.How could he escape now?This macrame knot was akin to a charm that was testing his sincerity. If he dared to cut it off so mercilessly, how disappointed would Mommy be in him?Mommy was in terrible health now. Would he be willing to make Mommy angry?Josephine was being mischievous. “I can cut it off for you. As long as you promise me you’ll never come back to Mount Pearl.”Baby Robbie, “...”Josephine turned around to look for a knife after speaking. Then, she took a fruit knife and walked toward Baby Robbie.Th
Jenson revealed the truth and said, “It’s because the two of you are always casting flirtatious glances at each other in front of Aunty Shirley. That’s why she’s generous enough to let you guys be together.”Baby Robbie sighed. “What a scumbag.”Zayne, “...”If there was a competition for being sharp-tongued, Jenson and Baby Robbie were unbeatable. Zayne knew that he simply could never defeat them. He dragged Josephine with him and said, “I’m scared of you brats, goodbye.”After Josephine and Zayne left, Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at each other. The smiles on their faces instantly switched back to arrogantly cold expressions. “Are we continuing?” Jenson asked.Baby Robbie shook his head and frowned. He languidly fell on the sofa as if he had exerted all his strength to avoid fighting Jenson.“I have to get back, Jens.” Baby Robbie looked at Jenson pitifully. His obsidian pupils shone resolutely.“Can you give me a reason?” Jenson asked.Baby Robbie’s eyes flickered. “I can
