“As long as you’re safe, Angeline, Jaybie is willing to let the gods shorten his life…” He even became superstitious.In the evening, Jay walked out of Grand Asia in despair.When he returned to Carefree Garden, Jenson and Baby Robbie stood by the door, watching him quietly like a pair of statues.“Daddy seems to be in an awful mood.” Baby Robbie pointed out sorrowfully.Jenson replied, “Be more confident. It’s not seemingly, he truly is in a bad mood.”“Daddy,” the two children called out to him in unison.Jay managed to squeeze out a pale, feeble smile at them. He stretched his hands out to pat them perfunctorily.“Where are all your sisters?” Jay asked in a low-spirited manner.“Still shopping.”Jay walked into the living room and slumped onto the sofa.Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at one another. Then, Baby Robbie said in distress, “Daddy can’t go on being this way.”Jenson replied, “Daddy is just worried about Mommy. Is there any way you can reach her, Baby Robbie?”B
“Daddy, Baby Zetty said they’re not coming home for dinner,” Baby Robbie shouted at the kitchen after hanging up the phone.Jenson replied, “Got it.”At this time, Baby Robbie’s phone rang once more, and when he saw the familiar caller ID, he was so astonished that he grabbed the phone and ran toward the kitchen.The transparent glass door was locked from the inside, and Baby Robbie proceeded to bang on it, pointing his finger at the phone excitedly.Jay and Jenson assumed that he was on the phone with Baby Zetty, so the cold father and son duo turned a blind eye to Baby Robbie’s exaggerated reaction.“Hello. Where are you now, Mommy? Baby Robbie misses you so much.” Baby Robbie had to raise his voice on purpose.Jay opened the glass door and stood in front of Baby Robie, his pupils appearing stunned. At that moment, the blood in his body started to boil. He froze in place from the excitement, and he could not figure out what he should do next.Jenson was the one who hinted at B
However, she regretted it almost immediately afterward.Jay’s face was so important, yet she hit it without a second thought. She succeeded in getting her revenge on Chloe, but she ended up hurting Jay in the process as well.She had wounded the man she loved the most, and this man was the person who had continuously spoiled her lovingly.By slapping him in the face, she had also felt a stab in her heart.Mrs. Yorks looked at Angeline’s overly thin arms and thought that Angeline was preventing Jay from seeing her current unsightly appearance. She tried to gently comfort her, saying, “I’ve asked Cole to send me some money, Angeline. We can hire a nanny now so that you can take a good rest. Once your body recovers, Jay wouldn’t feel so heartbroken anymore when he sees how healthy and round you look when you return to Imperial Capital.”Angeline glanced at her skinny self and nodded in a lonesome manner. “I really should eat more.”While Shirley was still in her postpartum period, M
Angeline buried her face into her pillow and drenched herself in tears. She was somewhat ashamed because when Chloe humiliated her, she had easily given up on all ideas of love.However, Jay had always stood firm, and he was resolute on never giving up on her in his life.That night, Angeline grew so tired from crying that she actually had a good night’s sleep.Early the following day, Mrs. Yorks received a text message from Cole. As soon as she saw the contents, Mrs. Yorks exploded in a fit of fury and immediately called him.The once oh-so gentle woman yelled out, “What on earth are you people doing in Imperial Capital?”On the other line, Cole hesitated and said, “Ah, the decision was made by Grandpa after careful consideration. Grandpa said that he’d personally spend the rest of his remaining years chasing after his grandchildren and great-grandchildren to reunite us.”Mrs. Yorks sneered, “He’s a confused old man. Why would Jay ever return to Yorks Stronghold, the place tha
Angeline realized that something was wrong and said to Sis Shirley somewhat nervously, “Sis Shirley, both you and Cole are quite fair-toned. Why does the child look so yellow? Perhaps it’s jaundice?”Mrs. Yorks came in after talking on the phone. When she heard Angeline’s words, Mrs. Yorks had a bad feeling in her stomach. “Could it be hepatitis?”Sis Shirley said, “No wonder he has been crying so much these days.”Angeline and Mrs. Yorks carried the baby to the town hospital. However, the conditions of the mountainside hospital here were somewhat unfavorable, and even the doctor advised them to take a trip to a better hospital.The baby was still too young, so Angeline and the others dared not take such a risk. On that same day, they packed their bags and hired a private cab to immediately rush back to Imperial Capital.On their way there, Angeline was finding a hard time calming down. Her eyes were filled with intense hesitation and helplessness.Sis Shirley slept inside the ca
Grand Old Master Yorks glared at Chloe, who was still willful and presumptuous, coldly. He hissed. “Stubborn mule.”Judy’s tears rolled down her cheeks, making her look extremely pitiful. The grand old master felt sorry for her, so he was hesitating in making up his mind.Spencer’s beautiful mistress, Sandra, tried persuading Spencer tactfully. “Master, Zechariah and his wife both sacrificed their lives to protect Yorks Stronghold. They left an orphan behind, and I’m afraid that if we abandon Judy on Mount Pearl, it will bitterly disappoint the villagers.”Spencer thought that Sandra’s words made a lot of sense, so he looked at the grand old master and said, “Dad, let’s take Judy out so she can see the outside world. Perhaps after Judy comes into contact with all kinds of men, she’ll let go of her obsession with Jay?”Grand Old Master Yorks nodded in agreement.Cole sat on the window sill in a cross-legged manner. He was chewing on a grass stalk in his mouth, looking somewhat slop
Upon exiting Imperial Capital Airport, Cole languidly asked, “Where do we live now?”Grand Old Master Yorks gave it a thought and said, “We’ll purchase a villa near the Ares family’s house…”Before he was done speaking, Cole started laughing. “What are you laughing about, you brat? You should be listening to your grandpa when he’s speaking,” Spencer scolded his son.Cole smiled and said, “I’m just laughing at you country bumpkins. You’re simple fools who are overwhelmed by new experiences and luxurious surroundings. You aren’t afraid of people making fun of you at all. The Areses are the richest family in Imperial Capital. Tourmaline Estate is comparable to a royal palace, and they have requisitioned even the surrounding lands. If you’re planning to build a villa next to Tourmaline Estate, then you’d have to build it in the wilderness.”Grand Old Master Yorks’ expression turned dark.“Stinking little brat, you just have to be a know-it-all.”Cole became strangely stern and said
Ultimately, Grand Old Master Yorks took them to the hotel.It was Judy’s first visit to Imperial Capital, and she was shocked over the hustle and bustle of the city. She said to Aunt Sandra in astonishment, “I like this place, Aunt Sandra. It’s magnificently beautiful.”Aunt Sandra teased, “Jay is here, so of course you like it.”Grand Old Master Yorks reprimanded Sandra very sternly, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Imperial Capital is not the same as Yorks Stronghold. The polygamy system has long been abolished here. Plus, Jay and Angeline are inseparable. You’ve seen it yourself. We shall no longer mention Jay and Judy’s matter in the future.”Judy burst into tears and tightly bit her lip. The bitter taste of loss was starting to overwhelm her heart.Chloe glanced at Judy, who was rather upset, and comforted her. “Don’t feel too discouraged. Although Imperial Capital implements a monogamous system, divorce and remarriage are not uncommon. Angeline has gone as far as writing
