Jay rolled his eyes at him. “And how do you plan to feed them? Are you going to let them eat plain bread every single day?”Zayne, “...”Josephine suddenly walked out holding a spatula and said arrogantly, “I’m already learning. Can’t you see my efforts? I’ll immerse myself in learning all sorts of culinary skills in the future. I’ll be cooking Mexican, French, and even Italian cuisine. I can guarantee they’ll turn fat under our care!”Everyone in the room looked at Josie in a daze.From Josie’s uncontrollable emotions, they could see that she had a strong inferiority complex over her inability to have children.Angeline felt sorry for Josie. “Josie, if you want to adopt a child, you can go to an orphanage to adopt a suitable baby in the future. This way, you’re able to appreciate the happiness of motherhood. You can’t decide on these things so hastily just to fulfill Zayne’s whims.”Zayne lowered his head in shame. “It’s alright, Josie. We don’t need one. You’re more than enough
Since Angeline was quick-witted, she immediately understood her brother’s implied meaning.“Mom just thinks that Jaybie shouldn’t be waiting on me because she’s stubbornly set in her old ways.” Angeline was seething.Zayne continued, “You can trample all over him when there are no outsiders around. But you should at least play pretend around his family.”Angeline rolled her eyes at him. She was contemptuous of Zayne’s proposal.She wanted to continue being herself in front of everyone.However, Zayne’s little reminder had also evoked her feelings of sadness and made her recall her wounds. Chloe disliked her, and she felt uncomfortable around Chloe. It was as if there were a couple of dark clouds above her head, making her feel very depressed and gloomy. If Chloe were someone else, Angeline could avoid her entirely out of fear. However, Chloe was her mother-in-law. She would not be able to shake off this cloud her entire life.She felt awful just thinking about it.When Jay c
In the evening.Jay and Angeline had done a meaningful task.Jay had thought of new beautiful names for the sisters of the military intelligence division. However, because they were not sure whether these children would stay with them long, the names had been sealed temporarily.He and Zayne had also brought out the precious stones as they had decided to make each of them a unique commemorative gem necklace. Angeline and Josie were on the sofa with their phones. They were trying to pick out clothes and daily necessities suitable for the sisters’ ages.Jay was afraid that Angeline would catch a cold, so he ordered Zayne, “Bring her a blanket.”Zayne stood up and walked to the bedroom, but his mouth did not stay silent. “Other households’ women are all busy in their halls and kitchen. They’re capable of doing everything. But our households’ ladies are lazy, like pigs. They lie down right after eating, and they’re not worried of getting dragged into the slaughterhouse.”Josie and
Angeline looked at the abnormal Jay and her heart felt inexplicably sour. She had to force a smile and say, “Nonsense. The hair in the jade belongs to Jaybie and me. Even if Judy has taken it, I’m sure it changes nothing.”“Angeline, get it back,” Jay suddenly ordered in a deep voice. Angeline replied, “Don’t worry, Jaybie. I’ll get my precious jewelry back. It’s just that I haven’t thought of a good reason for Judy to return it to me willingly.”Jay said arrogantly, “Just tell her that your initials are written on it and it’s yours.”Angeline was slightly stunned. “My name’s on it?”Josephine smiled. “That’ll make things easier.”Josephine then dragged Angeline and walked out.Zayne looked at the gloomy-faced Jay, and for some reason, Zayne’s mood became irritated as well.“Hey, since your mother is so against our Angel, will you give up on this relationship because of your mother?” Zayne asked him uneasily.Jay glared at him viciously.Zayne was not one to give up without
Angeline suddenly felt as if a thunderstorm had struck her. She was so petrified that she stood still in the same spot. She was afraid of Chloe, and it was now an instinctive reaction. The muscles in Chloe’s face had atrophied, and she was staring at Angeline fiercely with her pair of withered-looking eyes. Angeline was so horrified it was as if she had seen a ghost.“Mom,” she called out while trembling.“I’ve given the jade to Judy, Angeline. Hence, that’s Judy’s private property. You’re not qualified to ask for it back.” Chloe sat on the wheelchair, oozing with a frightening aura.Angeline explained in a low voice, “Mom, my name’s engraved on the jade jewelry. There are also strands of my and Jaybie’s hair inside of it. It’s not an appropriate gift for Judy. I’ll give another one that looks exactly the same to her next time, okay?”Chloe sneered and said, “Jay’s hair is inside? That’s great. If the jade is given to Judy, that means Jay and Judy will grow old together.”She
Josie hugged her and wailed. “You scared me to death, Sis Angeline.”Angeline sat up weakly and said wearily, “I think I’ve gotten my grandfather’s disease.”Josie widened her eyes in horror. “What did you say?”Angeline’s eyes appeared tearful. “Before my grandfather was paralyzed, he would have repeated fevers and panic attacks because of emotional issues.”Josie started crying. “What should we do? I think your illness will only get worse if you stay in Yorks Stronghold, Sis Angeline. How about you return to the capital as soon as possible? Without Chloe around to trigger you, your emotions wouldn’t be fluctuating so badly.”Angeline gave it a thought and nodded.Once Angeline returned to Green Plum Town, she had another fever. Angeline reacted as always and quickly pulled out the medicine box to take the bottle of ibuprofen.Jay came home a little later.When he saw Angeline standing in front of the French window, her slender figure looking so lonely, Jay felt distressed and
Jay was frightened, fearing that Monster’s vicious plan was getting his revenge using Angeline’s body.He must find out about this matter as soon as possible.Hence, early in the morning, Jay went to a small bamboo house on the top of Mount Pearl.When Master Zack saw Jay, he was no longer as hostile as the first time he saw him since Master Zack was rather fond of him and admired this God-given apprentice.Jay’s strategies and ability to plan victory from thousands of miles away, saving hundreds of thousands of Yorks Stronghold citizens, was not in the least an inferior achievement compared to his oldest apprentice, Zechariah. Zack admired his incredible talent and courage.Seeing Jay, his face that was covered in frost all year round had melted into a smile.“My disciple, why are you here?” Zack stood up from his stool and stopped his martial arts practice. He looked at Jay happily.Jay’s handsome face, however, was dark and shrouded in ice.“Where’s Monster?” Jay inquired.
However, Monster’s anger was quickly frozen over by Jay’s cold, icy air.“What are you doing here?” Although Monster was a battered down prisoner, his whole body exuded the kind of loftiness that was not at all inferior to Jay.Jay sat on the chair in front of him in a cross-legged manner. His handsome, unparalleled face was looking at Monster’s face quietly.His eyebrows were thin, and his peach blossom-shaped eyes were long and wide. When his eyelids were raised, there was an unruly stubborn temperament in them. His eyes looked as bright as a teenager’s, exuding extraordinary charm.However, when his eyelids were slightly closed, he appeared extraordinarily noble and proud. When coupled with his naturally cold temperament, he gave off the air of a monarch.He continued to stare at Monster coldly without saying a word. A sense of chilliness was constantly permeating out of his eyes.In terms of psychological quality, Monster’s was probably not as good as Jay’s.Time was ticking
“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
