Josephine cried out, "Ah!""We haven’t even started yet, why are you screaming?”“Get lost. Can’t you be a bit more serious?”That night, Jay embraced Angeline all throughout. Perhaps it was because Angeline was in his arms that he found it much easier to analyze many things with great rationality. He was searching for a way out of his current predicament.Finally, Jay made up his mind. No matter how much Angeline pushed him away when she woke up later, he would remain stubborn about staying by her side.In his words, "Baby, I don't have the courage to lose you, so I’ve decided to stay with you. Don't push me away. I won't be angry at you anymore. I’ll do everything you say, okay?“I’ll take you away and isolate you from all your worries. Will you be happier that way?”Angeline was as light as a swallow. She was so light that it felt like she might fly away from Jay’s arms by accident.Jay could feel a stabbing pain in his heart when he realized Angeline's dramatic weight loss
"You’re simply unreasonable." Grand Old Master Yorks raged on.“Why should I reason with you? You devised a scheme and took away Shirley’s innocence. You even caused Angel to fall into depression. It’s only because of Jay that I refuse to fight you.” Old Master Severe roared.Chloe said coldly, “Don’t you feel ashamed at all to blame us? You think I don’t know that Angeline’s illness is genetic? That she contracted it even when she was already in her mother’s womb? Angeline is lucky Jay doesn’t despise her, and you’re here blaming us instead, saying that we’re the ones who made her ill?”Zayne, the demon who pampered his sister without limits, retorted, “Nonsense. Neither my dad, my mom, nor I have such illness. My sister is ill because you harmed her over and over again. You broke the couple and separated her from her children. Do you think she would have this illness if you hadn’t made her life so miserable?”Chloe looked at Zayne speechlessly. "Look at you, an adult man cursing
Angeline quivered.Old Master Severe said, “I now know how powerful your mother is, Jay. I’ve imparted all the worldly wisdom to Angeline but have never taught her the ways to deal with an evil mother-in-law. If you can’t protect her, then return her to the Severes. Although we’re not as powerful as the Areses or Yorks, I, Swallow City’s richest man, can provide all the basic necessities for my granddaughter. I guarantee that.”Jay could sense Angeline's anxiety and tightened his grip on her body, announcing domineeringly, "Angeline is mine."He swept his sinister gaze across the crowd, deterring all the aggressive gazes. Then, he stared at the crowd and announced, “I’m taking Angeline away from Imperial Capital.”Chloe was the first to roar. "What are you saying, Jay? You’re leaving Imperial Capital? When are you coming back?”Jay looked at Angeline from the corners of his eyes, his icy pupils turning gentle instantly. “I don’t know. I’ll let Angeline decide. If she comes back, t
Grand Old Master Yorks said indignantly, “Stop it, all of you. Jay has already taken Angeline away. You can quarrel all you want but that still won’t change anything.”Old Master Severe glanced at the gloomy-looking Chloe and rubbed salt in her wound. "Yeah, I hope they won’t come back anymore and enjoy the rest of their lives together.”Chloe glared bitterly at Old Master Severe. "Why won’t Angeline just die?”Old Master Severe was so furious that he could feel his organs being set ablaze. He roared, “If Angeline is dead, your son won’t come home alive either!”Chloe hated Angeline’s guts, but she needed to admit a fact: Angeline was the apple of Jay’s eyes, and Jay could give up everything for her—including his mother.If Angeline was dead, Jay might be a goner too.Therefore, for Jay’s sake, Chloe had no choice but to go against her will and give Angeline her blessing, hoping that she would live a very long time.At the thought of this, Chloe felt immensely aggrieved.Now th
"Okay," Jenson clenched his fists and answered Jay with a heavy heart.“When are you leaving, Daddy?”Jay replied, "I’ll leave after talking to you."Jenson was stunned. Realizing that he was about to be separated from his beloved daddy and mommy, he turned gloomy."I'm sorry, Jens. Daddy and Mommy can't stay and take care of you anymore," Jay said guiltily.Jenson shook his head. Daddy must have been in a lot of pain and faced a dilemma when he made this decision too."Don't worry about us, Daddy. I’ll take care of all the sisters and manage Grand Asia well. I’ll await your return," Jenson said.Jay felt sorry for Jenson. This child had to bear all the responsibilities and burdens of the family at such a young age. He had long lost his innocence by now."Thank you, Jens."“This is my responsibility as their brother, Daddy."Although they were triplets, Jenson was relatively mature in comparison. When compared to Baby Zetty, who only thought about love all day long, it actual
Jenson put his hands in his trouser pockets and said coolly, “I’ll make her pay back for the pain she inflicted on my mommy by tenfold.”Grayson feared for Chloe’s safety.The rental house.When the doorbell rang, Shirley and Mrs. Yorks exchanged glances with each other. Even though they knew that Angeline was not coming back anymore after getting taken away by Jay, they still opened the door excitedly.Outside the door, Old Master Severe, Mr. Severe, and Lady Severe stood outside. Mrs. Yorks was struck dumb. "You are?"Lady Severe grinned from ear to ear, saying, "I’m Shirley's mother. I'm here to take my daughter home."Shirley walked out in tears, then with a thump, she dropped to the ground in front of Grand Old Master Severe. She cried out, “Grandpa, Father, Mother, it’s my fault for not taking care of Little Angeline properly. I’ve failed you.”Knowing that Shirley was not of the Severes’ bloodline, Mrs. Yorks felt sorry for her when she saw how obsequiously she behaved in
When Grand Old Master Yorks saw those weak and delicate bodyguards who were clearly hired by Zayne to act as a stopgap, he burst out laughing. “Are you trying to snatch my grandson with these fellas? Don’t you think you’ve underestimated me too much?”Old Master Severe knew that they were no match for the Yorks’ bandits if they actually fought.Old Master Severe refused to give in and said in an imposing tone, “Chief Yorks, the mighty dragon is no match for the native serpent. I advise you to step back.”However, Grand Old Master Yorks threw caution to the wind, saying, “The Yorks will take Dawn home.”When the hospital’s person in charge noticed how neither the Severes nor the Yorks was prepared to give an inch, he was so frightened that his legs turned to jelly. He stuttered when he spoke, “Stop fighting. The hospital won’t hand over the child to just about anyone. Can the child’s parents please come in with us?”Mrs. Yorks and Lady Severe helped the weak Shirley inside.Grand
Mrs. Yorks snatched the child over without warning and said, “Alright, that’s enough. Now that you’ve met the child, you should probably leave.”Looking slightly reluctant to part with Dawn, Cole licked his lips and said in a half-joking manner, "Mom, why don’t we take Dawn back to Yorks Stronghold so you won’t feel so lonely when you go back?”As soon as he finished his sentence, he saw the three women glaring at him with intense resentment. Their gazes seemed to say, ‘You can keep dreaming.’Cole patted his mouth. He had no idea why he suddenly said those words either. In fact, now that he thought about it, he did not want his mother to return to Yorks Stronghold and lead a dull, insipid life. If that was the case, was he subconsciously hoping that Dawn would go back to Yorks Stronghold with him?Mrs. Yorks snatched the child over and said, “If you want Dawn to go back to the Yorks, sure, get down on one knee and propose to Shirley then. If Shirley agrees to marry you, we’ll go b
