Jenson stared speechlessly at Baby Robbie. "What did I do to you?""You said that I have no principles."Jenson said stiffly, "You don’t have principles."Thinking that this was a big deal at first, Angeline did not expect the children to be arguing because of a matter that was as small as the point of a needle.Angeline stood dumbfoundedly on the same spot, and for a while, she did not know how to mediate the conflict between her children.Jay straightened his spine and said, "Let’s hear it, then. In what sort of way does he have no principles?”Jenson said, "He pretended to be gay last time in order to hide his identity."Baby Robbie said, "That’s called a white lie.""It's not right to lie." Jenson intensified the conflict deliberately.Baby Robbie was speechless. In the end, he glanced at Mommy and had a sudden clever idea. "Ask Mommy if she has lied to anyone before. Perhaps you were even born from a lie yourself."Angeline was unjustly attacked while just being present.
“What’s going on, Jens?" Angeline questioned Jenson as soon as she closed the door.Jenson walked up to Mommy wearing an extremely solemn and dignified look on his attractive face. His deep and profound almond eyes were shimmering with tears of reluctance.Jenson bowed, and Angeline stood dumbfoundedly on the spot. “What do you mean by that, Jens?”Jenson raised his eyelids, his thin lips parting slightly. "Mommy, I heard that you have superb makeup skills. I’d like to ask you for a favor.”Angeline held the child’s shoulders and laughed. "You don’t have to bow to me for something as trivial as this."Jens's long wing-like eyelashes started trembling. He bowed to Mommy because he was about to part from her. He did not know if he could make it back alive after leaving for the military intelligence division… "How do you want me to apply the makeup on you, Jens?" Angeline brought her makeup kit over.Jenson's lips moved, then he eventually summoned up the courage to say, "I want t
Jay looked at him and let out a slight smile. His smile was neither flamboyant as Baby Robbie’s, nor as restraining as Jens’. It was just right.When he smiled at Angeline, his smile would look spellbinding and charming.When he smiled at his children, his smile carried traces of fatherly love that was emitted at just the right amount.The anxiety in Baby Robbie's heart was instantly dispersed by Daddy's smile. He stared at Jay and smiled sweetly.Jay put him on the ground and picked up his tiny hand, carefully untying the long macrame knots. He then held Baby Robbie's hand and said gently, "Come with me."Daddy's selfless actions had warmed Baby Robbie up tremendously like a stream in the desert. He allowed his tiny hand to be wrapped in Daddy’s massive one as they walked through the foreign and clamorous market.Jay said gently, "I didn’t talk to you these days not because I don’t love you. I’m just like you, confused, hesitant, and at a loss."He suddenly stopped walking and
Knowing that Baby Robbie had made up his mind, Jay stopped persuading him.The two then arrived at the rough stone market. When Jay saw the rough stones that were in a pile, he furrowed his brows.Although he had a superior IQ and was invincible in the business world, he was bad at authenticating treasure and setting a price for it.To find a high-quality jade from this pile of rough stones was no different from looking for a needle in a haystack and sifting sand for gold.When Baby Robbie saw Daddy frowning deeply, he asked curiously, "Are we here to gamble on stones?"Jay nodded.“What for?" Baby Robbie was even more curious now. After all, the Ares family was rich and powerful, so if they needed gemstones or jades, they could just buy them at a shop.Jay replied, "Those commonplace women around your grand-uncle said that your mommy is dressed shabbily. They’re neither pretty nor knowledgeable as your mother, and even their inner qualities can’t compare to your mother, so who
The scrawny old man patted his chest and said, "The rough stones we have here are the best in the world. I say that to you while putting my reputation on the line.”Jay looked contemptuously at him. "Well, why don’t you show us how much your reputation is worth, then?"Jay pointed at the pile of rough stones and said domineeringly, "Open them all. I only want the best rough stone."The scrawny old man was dumbfounded."All of them? Do you know how much the rough stones here are worth?"Jay looked at the scrawny old man with contempt. "How much are they? I’ll buy them all."Baby Robbie looked at Daddy in astonishment. "We’ll lose money if we do this."Jay patted Baby Robbie on the head. "When has Daddy ever sustained any losses in business?”Baby Robbie was extremely puzzled. How could Daddy not lose money after buying all those rough stones?The scrawny old man hesitated. He eyed Jay suspiciously. "Do you have the money to buy them?""Nope," Jay replied.The boss was speechl
Jay looked at the remaining 20 high-quality jade stones, chose two of the most inferior quality suet white jade, and weighed them in his hand. Then, he yelled out, "A high-quality 2.2 pounds suet white jade will cost at least 50,000 bucks per 0.022 pounds in the market. This would cost 500 million, but I’ll let it go for 200 million today. Also, Imperial Capital Grand Asia's jewelry designer will design it for you until you’re satisfied with the finished product."Jay glanced at the unenthusiastic customers and said again, "I heard that Mount Pearl will start closing off the route down the mountain tomorrow and will not open it until the end of February. This means that these will be the last two pieces of jade you can buy before that happens. I’m sure you have friends or family members who are getting married during New Year’s. What better gift than a gemstone?”The customers remained unmoved.The scrawny old man said with a smile, "Mister, I’m afraid only the young masters and lad
The scrawny old man sighed. "Stop staring, Judy.” The girl bit her lip. "Dad, he’s the only man I love. Can you go and tell Grand Old Master Yorks that I would like to redeem the promise he made to us back then? I want to marry his grandson.”The scrawny old man was slightly stunned. "Do you like him that much?"The girl replied, "I couldn’t stop thinking about him from the moment I listened to the heroic tales of him fighting against Doomsday's Tiger and Wolf Armies. Now that I’m fortunate enough to see him, his outstanding posture and impressive talent have got me falling in love with him at first sight. I think this is God’s will, so why should I waste this God-given opportunity?”The scrawny old man stared at Jay's departing back, his eyes filled with admiration. "Sir Ares is indeed a rare prodigy. Alright then, I’ll make a trip to 48 Stronghold.”Jay later bought some new clothes for Baby Robbie in the night market, and when both father and son walked home, the sky had alrea
When the tree snapped, Jay still looked relaxed as ever.Baby Robbie was astounded.“How did you do it?"“With my brain." Jay walked away at ease.When the two returned to Green Plum Town, it was already midnight. After Baby Robbie pushed the cart into Green Plum Town’s main gate, he bid farewell to Daddy and returned to Cold River Park.Jay figured that Angeline was probably asleep by now, hence he walked quietly on tiptoes, afraid to wake the light sleeper. He groped his way to the toilet. When he was done washing up, he then groped his way to bed.As soon as he climbed into bed, he realized that the bed was cold. There was no one on the bed.Jay's heart sank. He switched on the bedroom’s lights and started calling out, "Angeline."However, Angeline was neither in the living room nor the balcony.Jay dialed Angeline’s phone, but it was switched off.Jay called Zayne and Josephine, but all of their phones were switched off.Jay grew anxious and rushed out of Green Plum Town
