It was already three in the morning when Baby Robbie returned to Green Plum Town.Jay was sitting on the couch in the living room sipping coffee in a seemingly elegant manner. Despite that, his charming eyes were covered with a trace of worry and it was clear that something was weighing on his mind.The door of the living room made a creak and Baby Robbie was seen tiptoeing inside. After taking just several steps, he was startled when he caught sight of Jay.“You didn’t go to bed yet, Daddy?”Jay eased up his tightly-knitted brows before standing up and pretending to walk upstairs. "I’ll go to bed now.”Baby Robbie was stunned. Daddy had been waiting for him. He was clearly worried about him.“I have something to tell you, Daddy," Baby Robbie said.Jay turned around with a big smile on his mesmerizing face. "Sure."He wanted to know if anything special had happened to Baby Robbie yesterday. Baby Robbie taking the initiative to talk to him was proof of their healthy father-son r
"The child has severe injuries, Angeline. We should let her rest.”Angeline looked at Sis Thirteen with a reluctant gaze. "I need to stay and take care of her...""Argh!" Jay suddenly clutched his stomach and furrowed his brows.Angeline instantly shifted her attention to Jay, asking anxiously, "Is your stomach acting up again, Jaybie?”Jay nodded. "Help me into the house to rest."Hence, Angeline supported Jay outside.Jay had just taken a few steps when he suddenly turned around and ordered Grayson and Finn, "By the way, Grayson, Finn, the two of you will live here from now on. Spring is nearly here and Baby Zetty and Jens have fallen far too behind in their studies. Please stay in Green Plum Town and help them catch up in their studies. I want you to draw up a timetable for me by tonight.”Finn and Grayson exchanged glances at each other. When their eyes met, they could read the implicit meaning of Master Ares’ words from each other’s doubtful eyes. They then replied reverent
“Stay away from her, Angeline," Jay put away his unbridled behavior and warned with a sullen face without warning.Angeline thought for a very long time before realizing what he meant.Jaybie was referring to Sis Thirteen when he said ‘her’.Angeline was extremely confused. "She’s just a child. She can't even protect herself…" She thought that Jaybie was overly anxious about her safety.Before she could finish her sentence, Jay picked up a potted plant on the table next to him. The small seedling looked malnourished and fragile in the small pot.However, Jay said, "A seedling can’t determine if it’s going to grow straight or crooked. It’s up to the person who cares for the seedling to decide.”Angeline stared fixedly at the stem that had not changed its position for several days now yet was obviously curved because the seedling was growing toward the light.Jay put down the pot and brushed Angeline's exquisite nose, saying, "Be a good girl."Angeline gave him an endearing nod.
Baby Zetty pointed at Baby Robbie. "He’s older and is setting a bad example by sleeping in class… Why aren’t you doing anything?”Grayson said, "He has learned everything in Legendary Youth Academy, you haven’t."Baby Zetty looked at Baby Robbie as he snored in his sleep and said in a rather puzzled manner, "Just look at how much of a sleepyhead he is! Who knows if he actually paid any attention in class when he was in Legendary Youth Academy? Why don’t you try and test him?”Finn shook Baby Robbie awake and asked him, "Let’s hear you recite the periodic table backward, shall we?”Baby Robbie looked at Grayson with drowsy eyes.“I can’t remember it anymore.”Grayson and Finn were stunned. "Don't tell us that you attended a fake Legendary Youth Academy, Jens?”Afraid that he would expose his identity, Baby Robbie pretended to look profound and mysterious by saying, “Do you know why Daddy asked you to give us lessons?”Grayson replied, “To make up for your missed lessons.”Baby
Zechariah’s emergency treatment lasted an entire day and night, but he still passed away in bed in the end.Grand Old Master Yorks presided over Zechariah’s funeral. That day, the villagers raised Zechariah’s body and leaned it against a block of wood. They stood around his body chanting prayers with the religious leader. Women clad in plain white clothes danced around Zechariah’s body to bid him farewell.Judy, Zechariah’s daughter, knelt in front of Zechariah in her mourning garment. She was wailing her heart out.Grand Old Master Yorks read the eulogy out loud, "Life may be short but it is resplendent like the flowers in summer. Zechariah has made great contributions to Doomsday. He’s a hero in Doomsday—Mount Pearl’s patron saint. Now, with great reverence, let us bid farewell to our patron saint.“Today, Mount Pearl has lost its patron saint, but fortunately, Zachariah and his wife have given us the clever and bubbly Judy who is not only beautiful but also great at medicine and
Jay grabbed Angeline's hand anxiously and gave her a reassuring stare. He then turned to Judy and said, "Judy, I promised your father to take good care of you, but I didn't promise him anything about marrying you. I, Jay Ares, am a person who takes my promise seriously and will never break it. With that said, I also promised my wife to marry her and her alone for the rest of my life. I’ll take care of you, but I won’t do so by marrying you.”Judy's smile froze on her face. Her unrequited love had turned into intense hatred. "You’re not keeping your promise." She then covered her face and ran away.The villagers all looked at Jay with condemning eyes. “Zechariah has just passed on and you’re already breaking your promise by refusing to marry Saintess Judy. We don’t welcome you here in Doomsday.”Jay was spurned, and his dashing face looked extremely awkward.Angeline squeezed Jay's hand and gave him a reassuring gaze.With Angeline’s comforting gaze, his icy heart was instantly fil
Angeline nodded. “Mm."Just like that, Angeline and Jay left hand in hand before everybody’s eyes.Dusk.Both of them were summoned to Grand Old Master Yorks’ half-mountain villa.Grand Old Master Yorks had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Jay and Angeline, he deliberately adjusted his slouched sitting posture.“You’re here?" The hoarseness in his voice was difficult to conceal."Grandpa, did you summon me because of the assassin?" Jay and Angeline sat diagonally across from Grand Old Master Yorks.Grand Old Master Yorks nodded solemnly. "The assassin invaded Doomsday's military base last night."Jay was astounded! The military base?That was Doomsday's core defense system. If it was destroyed, then the entire Yorks Stronghold would face a major crisis.However, if the other party did not have a map as guidance, then there was no way they could enter such a heavily-guarded place."Someone leaked the Nine Paintings." Jay's eyes turned cold.Grand Old Master Yorks lo
Grand Old Master Yorks' hunched body quivered a little.It felt like he had turned ten years older in an instant.After a long time, Grand Old Master Yorks said in a hoarse voice, "I once saw this skull necklace on Mr. Boye.""What?" Jay exclaimed, "Why would I have Mr. Boye's necklace?"Up until today, Mr. Boye had only lived in legends.In Jay’s opinion, he and Mr. Boye were completely unrelated strangers, so how did he end up having Mr. Boye’s private possession?Grand Old Master Yorks glanced obscurely at Jay and closed his eyes for a very long time. When he opened his eyes again, a trace of anger exuded from them. "I shouldn’t have trusted your grandfather. I can’t believe he betrayed me.”Jay looked discomfited. "What do you mean, Grandpa?”Grand Old Master Yorks found it hard to relieve his anger. “Your grandfather gave me an unconvincing reason to leave Doomsday back then and I believed in his nonsense. He probably knows where Mr. Boye is and is hiding him away secretly
“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
