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
When the two of them went into Green Plum Town, they saw Baby Zetty pestering and pulling Brother Finn’s arm. Meanwhile, Finn stubbornly took her little hand off again and again to hold onto it just like an old father would.Baby Zetty looked reluctant.Finn earnestly instructed Baby Zetty, “Go in now. Don’t let Daddy and Mommy wait for you.”Baby Zetty was still pulling onto his arms, unwilling to let go. “Brother Finn, come in with me.”Finn said helplessly, “Today is the day when your little family is reunited. Master Ares and the missus must have something to say to you in private. I’ll not be going in to make a scene.”Baby Zetty smiled shamelessly. “You’re a future son-in-law, so you’re considered a member of our family.”Finn, “...”As soon as Baby Robbie and Jenson walked over, they heard Baby Zetty’s brazen words. Immediately, their handsome faces showed cringed expressions.“What on earth are they doing?” Baby Robbie asked curiously.Jenson coolly replied, “Can’t you
After beating up Baby Robbie, she quickly turned and left abruptly.Baby Robbie looked at Baby Zetty’s arrogant march, sighing sorrowfully.“That little midget’s temper grew with her age! Wasn’t she adorable and cuddly before?”Jenson squatted in front of him and teased. “You hurt her favorite mommy. Are you still expecting her to get cuddly with you?”Baby Robbie was depressed.Jenson continued, “However, she misses her brother, Baby Robbie, very much. If you’re willing to reveal your identity, your adorable and cuddly angelic sister will return.”This slightly convinced Baby Robbie as he missed the days when Baby Zetty would follow him around, obeying his every word.It was just that he was now a military intelligence division’s agent and could no longer acknowledge his family members. Otherwise, the military intelligence division would execute him for violation of military discipline.A faint sadness abruptly filled Baby Robbie’s eyes. Jenson could see even the smallest chan
Jay turned his head and looked at the childish Angeline. The childlike smile on Angeline’s face disappeared in a flash. She continued hypocritically, “But of course, children should focus on their studies. Don’t be overthinking about love now.”Jay, “...”Jay was in a mixed frame of mind. He never dreamed that the biggest obstacle in educating their children would be Angeline herself.Baby Robbie and Jenson walked in at this moment.Baby Robbie asked Mommy tentatively, “If she’s allowed, then is Jens allowed?”Jenson glared at Baby Robbie. Why did this fellow push him out as a shield?Did he have a crush as well, like Baby Zetty?Angeline replied with a stern expression, “Boys aren’t allowed.”“Why not?” Baby Robbie and Jenson asked in a puzzled manner.Mommy was having double standards, right? “I’m afraid that you’ll wreak havoc on the girls.” Angeline smiled. Jenson, “...”Baby Robbie, “...”Baby Robbie smirked and said to Jenson, “You can still do it. As long as you d
“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
