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
When Jay heard that Angeline was sleeping with Josephine, the gentlemanly side of him held him back.Jay turned around to leave when Zayne was heard muttering faintly, “You don’t have to come tomorrow. It’s useless even if you do because she won’t leave with you.”Jay halted in his steps abruptly and turned around to look at Zayne, looking a little anxious. “Is she mad at me?”Zayne nodded.Jay cast his mind back to the time young Angeline was upset. No matter how hard he racked his brains, how much wisdom he had, or the great deal of time and effort he spent, her unreasonable behavior was simply… a problem of the century. There was simply no way to coax her.Jay could feel the back of his head hurting.He changed his mind in the end and walked into the house instead of returning to his villa."I'm staying here tonight." Jay lay on the couch, pulling Zayne's blanket over him.Dumbfounded, Zayne said speechlessly, “Where am I supposed to sleep now that you’re sleeping in my spot
After hearing what Jay said, Angeline’s anger dissipated greatly. She got out of bed but was held back by Josephine instead. “Don’t believe them. We don’t have keyboards here nor do we have durians. You mustn’t be soft-hearted. Make sure you teach him a lesson or he won’t learn from his mistake. With the first time, there will be a second.”Therefore, Angeline lay down on the bed again sullenly.However, she just could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tossed and turned in bed.After God knew how long, she sighed inwardly and eventually got out of bed. She walked to the door panel and gently slid it open.Zayne was sitting on the ground, whereas Jay was kneeling down. They were leaning on each other shoulder-to-shoulder with their backs against the door panel. At once, they both fell at Angeline's feet.Angeline was astonished. "You’re actually kneeling down?”Jay looked pitifully at Angeline with a gaze as innocent as a tiny wolf pup, his eyes filled with a great sense of g
Baby Robbie, "..."Feeling guilty, Baby Robbie grew impatient. "Stop talking nonsense. What’s this performance about?""It’s a talent show."In a flash of realization, Baby Robbie asked, "Are you going to demonstrate the self-help technique of untying a knot?”Jenson said, "That’s the last step. I think Mommy will stop being so worried about you getting abducted by bad guys after seeing how skillful you are.”Baby Robbie was speechless. "Why would I get abducted when I’m already so big?”He would more likely be the one to abduct others.Jenson said, "No one can untie my dead knot. If you can, then this performance will be a success."Now wanting to be defeated, Baby Robbie stretched out his hands. "Go ahead and tie me up, then. I’d like to see how a knot tied by a genius like you will be any different. There isn’t a knot in this world that I can't untie."Jenson wrapped the rope around Baby Robbie’s wrist, circling it over and over again… He tied a knot with every circle he ma
It was time for them to bid farewell.Baby Robbie had a lot to say to Jenson, but for some reason, he was so drowsy that his eyelids started drooping.His gaze fell on the glass of water on the bedside table. He then realized in hindsight that he had been bottled up like a turtle trapped in a jar by Jenson the moment he came home tonight.“What did you put in my drink?”Jenson sat in front of Baby Robbie, his voice sounding as melodious as a broadcaster—so gentle it was as if it had the power to heal heartaches."Baby Robbie, I know that you’re very skilled in martial arts, but in order to stop you from escaping, I put some cartilage-weakening powder in your drink. Don't worry, neither the biochemical glue nor the cartilage-weakening powder will last. Give it at most 48 hours and you’ll be free again.”Baby Robbie’s voice grew weaker and weaker. "Your battle with the military intelligence division will be over after 48 hours. You’re really cunning, Jenson."Jenson put Baby Robbi
"Get up." Monster looked at the dazed-looking Sis Daisy, his icy face going back to normal. A trace of warmth returned to his ruthless voice. "Pour me a glass of water."Sis Daisy got up while trembling and walked to the water dispenser. She poured him a glass of hot water, then mixed it with some cold water before turning around and walking up to Monster. She handed over the glass of water reverently with both hands.“Have some water, Father.”Monster took the glass of water but froze slightly when he heard how bitter Sis Daisy sounded when she addressed him. He suddenly put the glass of water on the coffee table next to him and pulled Sis Daisy into his arms.“How can you bring yourself to call me ‘Father’? You refused to call me that last time.”Sis Daisy was flushed, but her eyes were abnormally cold. There was a trace of grievances in her voice. "I’m supposed to call you ‘Father’ since you refuse to marry me.""I’ll marry you gracefully after I destroy Doomsday and the Ares
However, Monster changed the subject and said, "I’ll leave this task to you.”Sis Daisy felt a chill racing down her spine… "Take advantage of the chaos tonight, and when she dies, I want you to put the blame on Doomsday. Lil Fox is really close to her, so this will be a good opportunity to sow dissension between Lil Fox and Doomsday," Monster said sullenly.Sis Daisy nodded.When Sis Daisy walked out of Monster's room with a heavy heart, her brows were furrowed.Monster wanted her to deal with Iris herself?She could not bring herself to do it.Agents of the military intelligence division should remain celibate and loveless. This was something Daisy had done really well in the previous years. She killed others as though they were insects, slashing others with a clean sword and drawing out a crimson sword as if her pain receptors had been numbed.However, ever since the naive and innocent Lil Fox appeared, her cold and solid heart was melted by Lil Fox as he constantly called
