Grayson informed, “President, we‘ve checked through all information regarding Rose Loyle. However, we can’t find any information about her from seven years ago until today. Don’t you think something funny is going on?”Jay’s eagle-like pupils became sharp as doubt shrouded his cold peach-shaped eyes.In this current society where the internet was so advanced, it was unusual for someone’s archives to go missing. Furthermore, what was missing from Rose’s archives was not from a long time ago when the internet was still underdeveloped. It was from recent years! This would probe anyone’s suspicion.“Continue investigating!” Jay ordered.“Noted, President.”Jay settled his work before going to bed.When he closed his eyes, his mind inexplicably surfaced Rose’s voice as she recited ‘To Oak Tree’. The circumflex accent brought a healing warmth which made him unable to stop himself from thinking about Angeline.Other than the difference in voice, Angeline and Rose’s tone when reciting t
Jay ruffled his son’s head but ignored Zetty’s presence. He did not notice that his ignorance was bringing upon a bigger animosity from Zetty.Jay went upstairs and knocked on Rose’s room door. Rose’s sleepy eyes were met with an angry Jay. “Sir Ares, what’s the matter?”“Breakfast,” Jay squeezed out the two syllables through gritted teeth.Rose was immediately wide awake. “Ah, I’m sorry. I’ll get to it right away.”However, she was still dressed in her cotton, short-sleeved, pajama dress. She wanted to get changed and head out of the room, but Jay remained at the door as if he had no intention of leaving.Jay looked at the Pikachu cartoon picture on her pajamas. There was a teasing look in his gaze.Rose covered the childish picture on her chest and blushed. “Stop looking!”Jay coldly said, “Don’t worry. Even if you stood naked in front of me, I won’t have any interest in your flat figure.”Rose widened her eyes. ‘I have a flat figure? How absurd. My body measurements are the
There were not many people in this world who could receive gentle treatment from the cold and heartless Jay. In her past life, Angeline Severe had sacrificed herself but still failed to warm his cold heart of steel.Nobody would expect that he could be so gentle and doting with his sons.Rose was in a daze thinking about nonsense when Jay suddenly reminded her coldly. “Make breakfast.”Rose understood that she would never be the one he would be gentle to. It was that way in her last life, and it would be the same in this life.Rose made a dash downstairs.Jay walked into the room and sat on the edge of the bed as he ruffled Jenson’s head, gently inquiring, “Why did you have nightmares again?”Jenson’s gaze darkened. He had dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he did not have a very peaceful sleep. Jenson looked at Jay. Although his mouth quivered slightly, no words came out.Jay gently hugged his son. “Jens, do you have something that’s bothering you?”Jay could not fig
“Uncle, if you don’t like soy milk with youtiao, you can choose not to eat it. Nobody will force you to eat it.” Zetty's soft and cute voice reverberated into Jay’s ear, which made him feel that life had become meaningless.This young child was always at odds with him.Jay frowned as he looked at Baby Zetty, “Didn’t your Mommy teach you that you shouldn’t talk when you eat?”Who would expect that Zetty would raise her head high and fight back. “Uncle, then why are you talking non-stop?”Jay was rendered speechless.Rose could not help but gently pat Zetty’s head. Her action was obvious to all that she was giving Zetty encouragement.Jay’s arrow-like sharp gaze shot at Rose.The smile in Rose’s face froze, and she immediately buried her head low as she chewed on the youtiao.After breakfast, Jay was not in a hurry to leave for work. He called Rose over. His tone of voice showed that he was was not keen on having a discussion. He just wanted to overbearingly inform her that he ha
Jay had met people from different walks of life. The kind of people he met the most were those so poor that they owned nothing, yet they were still so full of themselves. When the cruel reality left them with a few slaps on their faces, they would turn from being just poor on the outside to being poor even mentally and spiritually.Rose Loyle had been defined by Jay within his subjective world that she was that kind of person.Jay did not give further thoughts about Rose’s request to loan money from him. “Wait till the day you can afford it before you discuss your responsibilities with me.”Rose bit her lip. Jay looked down on her and would not believe that she was capable of paying him back.Right now, she had a more urgent problem. Baby Robbie and Jenson’s schooling issue had been settled. However, Zetty had no qualifications to enter the affiliated kindergarten of Horizon Colors.The affiliated kindergarten of Horizon Colors was mainly set up to cater to the property owners in
“Mommy, he only brought Jenson and Baby Robbie out to play and left me at home.” Zetty looked sideways at her mommy. The disappointment in her eyes was not dismissible.“Zetty, do you want to go out to play? Shall I bring you out?” Rose walked over and sat next to Zetty.Zetty looked at the beautiful big house. She suddenly felt sad and sighed. “Mommy, I don’t like it here.”Rose was stunned.The gap between Zetty and Jay was rapidly increasing. If it was left to progress on its own, it would probably expand as wide and deep as a gorge, never being able to heal.“Zetty, do you want to acknowledge yourself to Daddy?” Rose nervously asked.She had been mulling over this question lately. In the past, she intended to selfishly keep both children to herself and never be separated from them. However, things had not been going as planned. She even failed to hide Baby Robbie, allowing Baby Robbie and Jay to acknowledge each other.Later, she decided to hide Zetty from him. At least with
Jay looked at the doll inside his hand with a sullen face. Then, he glanced at the little bun’s room. After Zetty entered the room, she slammed the door loudly which thundered through the whole house. It became obvious to all that she was in an extremely foul mood.Jay felt that the little bun’s temper was huge and weird. He was under the impression that she was born that way and that it had nothing to do with him.His mood felt better with his self-comfort.Inside the bedroom, Zetty hid under the blanket and quietly shed tears. Rose watched the little human who was feeling hopelessly sad and felt that she could no longer ignore Zetty’s psychological health just because she wanted to keep Zetty to herself.“Baby Zetty, you want him to bring you out as well?” Rose sat next to Baby Zetty, her voice gentle and soothing.Zetty raised her damp face from all the tears and nodded. Her soft and cute voice was filled with hurt and doubt. “Mommy, why doesn’t Uncle like me?”Rose thought ab
Rose had a stomach filled with anger that could not be digested, nor could it be released. The three children were innocently looking at her, thus she had no choice but to take in all that bitter anger. She gave Jay a huge smile. “Sir Ares, you’re right.”The only reason why Jay looked down on her was just that she was poor. Rose secretly swore that she was going to change the situation. She wanted to change her position in his heart where she was now categorized at the lowest rung on the social pyramid.The meal went on awkwardly.When dinner ended, Rose cleared the kitchen and returned to her room. She opened her email to see if there were any replies from the companies she had submitted her resumé to.Perhaps because it had not been too long since she emailed them, which was why not many companies replied to her. However, one email caught her attention.The reply read, “I have seen your resumé, but I have some reservations about the level of your hacking skills. If you can pass
“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
