As soon as Judy left, Maya stepped foot into her house.“Uncle Zechariah, do you have bright red tree resin and pine rosin in your house?” Maya stood by the door and poked her head in. She asked Zechariah who was resting in the courtyard.Zechariah became anxious as soon as he heard the mention of these two herbs. “Who got injured in your family, Maya?”“I saved a wounded girl near my family’s herb garden, Uncle Zechariah. Mama said that her injuries are too serious and she needs bright red tree resin and pine rosin.”At lightning speed, Zechariah went inside the house to look for bright red tree resin and pine rosin. He asked Maya, “Do you know the little girl?”“No.”When Zechariah came out, there was a stern expression on his face that was full of vicissitudes. “Didn’t someone warn you not to take strangers in?”Maya smiled and said, “She’s just a child, Uncle. I can’t just leave her to die.”Zechariah felt like he needed to be vigilant as this matter happened during such a
“If you dare run off with Angeline, I’ll snap your legs,” Jay warned Josephine coldly.Zayne tried to help his wife. “Angeline has legs as well. If she wants to run, why are you snapping Josephine’s legs?”Josephine murmured in dissatisfaction, “That’s right.”Jay said, “If she hadn’t seduced Angeline, would Angeline elope with her?”Josephine had a shocked expression on her face. “You have to be partial, Big Brother. Why must I be the one who tricked Sis Angeline into eloping? It could be Sis Angeline who entrapped me instead.”Jay cast a gentle gaze toward Angeline and asked softly, “Are you willing to leave me all alone?”“That’ll depend on your performance.” Angeline gave him a playful smile.Jay’s expression turned dark. Had he ever mistreated her?Angeline’s eyes shifted from Jay’s icy face toward the courtyard path outside their door.She saw Judy holding onto a flask and walking over with a smile on her face.Angeline abruptly bounced off the sofa like an energetic bo
Zayne immediately uttered out his speculation, “Is there any link between Cole and Judy? Don’t try to change the subject and divert our attention from Judy’s love for you.”Angeline also noticed how far-fetched Jay’s explanation was and said in a fit of pique, “How do you plan to handle that little girl?”Jay hugged Angeline in his arms and patiently tried to coax her. “You know that I only have feelings for you.”Angeline smiled in relief.Meanwhile, Zayne wanted to spoil the harmony. “My sister is asking you how you’re going to deal with that little girl, yet you’re sugarcoating and trying to bluff your way out instead.”Angeline realized that she was fooled earlier and looked at Jay indignantly. “Hmph, you just skipped my question.”Jay knitted his eyebrows. He was a grown man now. No girl had ever dared to beg and cling to him before. The only other clingy person was actually his favorite Angeline. He never had the strength to refuse Angeline at all.How could he make Judy c
In the evening, Josephine and Zayne returned from Doomsday Hospital. Their complexions were ashen, and Josephine's eyes had turned scarlet.Jay raised his eyebrows and looked at the two. "What did the doctor say?"Josephine wailed. "The doctor says that my fallopian tubes are blocked and inflamed. I can’t give birth to a child."Angeline comforted her, saying, "Josie, that's curable."Josephine continued to cry as she said, "The doctor says that my condition is very complicated and difficult to treat. I'm not young anymore, so my body’s state will decline after a few years. Sob, sob, how will I give birth to a child, then?"Zayne's expression was gloomy. He was in a bad state of mind as well because of Josephine's condition.He adored children and yearned to have one of his own. However, in the end, the doctor's diagnosis shattered all his hopes and made him slightly obtuse.As a result, he ignored Josephine's emotions. Josie looked at Zayne who appeared dispirited. She took h
He glared fiercely at the culprit. “B*stard.”Then, he hurried over to the kitchen to coax his wife…“Get out, Josie,” Jay ordered.Josie’s eyes were red. “I’m not going anywhere.”Zayne walked in and pulled Josie out.Jay walked toward Angeline and admitted his mistake. “What’s the matter, Angeline?”Angeline brushed the pots and pans sonorously, clearly showing her anger.“I was wrong, Angeline.”Angeline looked at him. “Which part?”Jay stammered, “I shouldn’t have said that three children… are not a lot.”Angeline was enraged. “I’m not a baby machine.”“I know.” Jay took her hand out of the sink. He earnestly said, “Angeline, you’ve truly misunderstood me. Even if you’re able to conceive more, I wouldn’t allow you to suffer that way anymore.”Angeline deliberately provoked him and said, “If you want to, I can get pregnant again. Didn’t I get pregnant last time?”Jay’s complexion turned pale… Since Angeline’s womb had previously suffered injuries to it, it would be best
Zayne seemed to have realized something and walked to Josie. “Don’t be angry, Josie. I’ve thought things through and it doesn’t matter if we don’t have children. Instead, I’ll just raise you like my own daughter.”Josephine laughed wildly… and her belly full of anger dissipated.Zayne touched the back of his head and smirked.A woman’s brain was indeed a strange thing. One should never reason with them when they were angry. Using an absurd method to tease them would be the correct option.Josephine took Zayne’s hand and sincerely said, “I know you like children, Zayne. I’ll try my best with the doctor’s treatment. If we’re unable to conceive at the end, let’s go to the orphanage to adopt a child.”Zayne replied candidly, “We’ll go according to your plan.”Time went by calmly in the mountains.With such rare leisure time, Angeline took out some yarn from the bedroom. She said with a smile on her face, “Sis Shirley’s belly is starting to show, so I have to quickly prepare a couple
She knew better than to knit sweaters in front of these two men in the future.Suddenly, they heard an earth-shattering thumping sound coming from the gates of Green Plum Town.Everyone in the living room was caught off guard, and their expressions turned to panic.“What’s happening?” Zayne asked nervously.“I’ll go take a look.” Baby Robbie was still somewhat calm.Baby Robbie jogged all the way to the front. When he opened the door, he saw Judy standing by the door in a panic. She was out of breath when she said, “I need to see Brother Jay.”Afterward, she tried to drill herself through the entrance.Baby Robbie had quick reflexes. His back was leaning against the door frame as he stretched his long leg toward the opposite edge to block Judy’s path. “What’s going on?” Baby Robbie was acting unruly at this moment, but he was still smiling warmly.Judy had no other option but to tell him the truth. She anxiously said, “My father has been poisoned. It’s by no means one of Doom
Judy’s initial impression of Baby Robbie was that he was so young and she had contemptuously looked down on him. Now that she knew how much knowledge Baby Robbie had, she showed admiration for him.“Do you know the solution for this poison?” Judy asked humbly.Baby Robbie shook his head. “The composition of this poison is complex, and it’s difficult to find all the formulas in a short time. Unless the one who poisoned him is found and we’re able to get the antidote, he won’t be able to recover.”Jay walked toward Zechariah and tried to communicate with him. “Uncle Zechariah, can you tell us who poisoned you?”Zechariah stared at him with a pair of bloodshot pupils. The white part of his eyes seemed to be covered with black tree branches. It was a terrifying sight.Perhaps due to his high martial arts skills or Zechariah’s strong willpower, he abruptly started speaking in an unclear manner.“Jay, take care of Judy for me.”Perhaps he knew that his time was coming to an end, so en
“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
