Jay hugged her tightly. His voice sounded hoarse when he said, “I can’t risk losing you, Angeline.”Angeline stroked his thick flowing hair and said softly, “To be honest, I don’t hate her anymore.”When Angeline saw Jay’s notebook and felt Jay’s deep love for her, she discovered that such a profound love could break all the cold obstacles in the world.Chloe’s hatred looked much more insignificant when she had Jay’s love.“It doesn’t matter how many heinous things she has done to me, I’ll still have to thank her for one thing. I have to be grateful that she gave birth to you because you’re the greatest gift I’ve ever had.”Jay held onto Angeline tightly. He had always known that Angeline was kind-hearted and would never hold a grudge. He should be protecting Angeline well since she had this nature. “Angeline, although you and I have been married for so many years, we’ve never gone on our honeymoon. Why don’t we stay here a while longer? Let’s not go back in such a hurry, okay?”
Angeline looked at the various fitness equipment stationed on the ground and felt like weeping.Jay was no longer as imposing and softly coaxed her, saying, “Don’t be afraid. Let’s start with the simplest exercise.”Angeline pitifully pleaded with him, “I don’t have the energy.”Jay picked her up and stood on one of the airwalk trainers. He held onto her small hands with his. “I’ll protect you so you won’t fall. It’s only your first day today. You’ll only need to do it for a few minutes.”Was his requirement that low?Only then did Angeline feel more relieved and slowly began to move. Angeline got off the fitness equipment about 40 minutes later.Jay was delighted as he patted her head. “You did an amazing job.”Angeline was in between laughter and tears. Was this considered remarkable to him?That day, Angeline’s consciousness was clear and she had active thinking. Jay felt utterly happy. Angeline began to be more confused again around evening time, and she suffered a brief
He was afraid that the tragedy that happened between his mother and Angeline would repeat itself.However, he was not aware that there were such things as grandparents who loved their grandchildren more.Boye seemed to have noticed Jay’s concern and took the initiative to dispel his doubts. “JJ, Angeline already knows my identity. She was the one who told me who you were.”Jay was dumbfounded.There was a blissful flower blooming in his heart. It was as if Angeline knew him better than himself. “Is that so? Then, did she tell you about those tragedies that indirectly harmed her… because of you?” Jay’s tone was not warm. On the contrary, it sounded rather cold.Boye’s enthusiastic smile turned lonesome and sorrowful in an instant. She said, “May Grandma sit down and have a talk with you?”“Please do.” Jay’s relationship with Boye seemed exceptionally courteous. Boye sat on the chair, and Jay proceeded to pour a cup of tea for her. Boye took a sip of her tea before sighing. “An
When Boye left Jay’s courtyard, her expression was still a little confused. When she got home, her husband asked, “Was it a pleasant conversation with your grandson?”Boye nodded and shook her head at the same time.The grandpa placed his work down in surprise. He came closer to Boye and asked with concern, “Does the child hate you?”Boye said in bewilderment, “He didn’t say that. It’s just that his attitude toward me was not really enthusiastic.”Boye suddenly chuckled out loud. “For so many years, everyone regarded Boye as a guest of honor and did all kinds of things to please me. He’s the only one who rejected the benefits I offered to give him.”The grandpa was a little surprised. “Were you planning on handing your research results to him?”Boye sighed. “He doesn’t seem to want them.”The grandpa asked suspiciously, “He truly doesn’t want them?”Boye replied, “He does. But he wants me to contribute his share to the country.”The grandpa was dumbfounded. “He’s truly a perso
This was simply the greatest news for the Ares children who had been making up for their studies for a few months now.“Hear ye, hear ye! Today’s the last day of our make-up lessons this semester. Tomorrow is the first day of summer vacation,” Baby Zetty announced with a megaphone speaker in her hand. “Sisters, what have you all planned for the two months of summer vacation?”Baby Robbie lay on the table lazily. He said with drowsy eyes, “I have a hunch that my dear brother-in-law won’t let us off for vacation so easily.”Baby Zetty threw the speaker in her hand and scolded Baby Robbie bashfully, “Who are you calling your brother-in-law? Tell me, who is it? I’m not even in a relationship just yet.”Baby Robbie stretched his hands, nimbly catching the speaker. He proceeded to tease Baby Zetty, saying, “You’re blindly confessing right now. You’re not the only sister around here, so how do you know that I was talking about you? Oh, I see. So, you do have someone in mind, then? Tell me
“We want our summer vacation. Please give us back our vacation!” the children protested.Grayson threw the test papers in his hand onto the table and cleared his throat. “These are your scores for the make-up lessons. The lowest score is 11, and the highest is 59. With such marks, even summer vacation won’t want you guys to be a part of it.”The children started giggling happily.Grayson continued, “You lot will enter Imperial Domain Experimental Middle School next semester and study in a class with other students. The bottom 12 positions in the class will probably belong to you guys. Aren’t you embarrassed?”“Why should we be embarrassed? There’s a bible saying that goes, ‘If not me, then who?’ Someone has to be at the bottom in every class, so if it’s not us, it’ll be someone else anyway,” said Baby Robbie.Grayson felt utterly dispirited. “Are your skins as thick as melon peels?”The children shook their heads.“Mine’s as thick as a watermelon peel.”“Mine’s pumpkin.”“Mine
Baby Robbie felt that there was some incomprehensible truth in Jenson’s nonsense. “What on earth were you up to?”Jenson said, “I’ve formally taken over Grand Asia and the responsibility of being the guardian of everyone here.”Baby Robbie felt his voice tremble uncontrollably. “Where are Daddy and Mommy?”It was like this every single time. Whenever something happened to Mommy and Daddy, Jenson would always use his most keen observation skills to detect specific trends and take over while he was kept in the dark. “Mommy is sick, so Daddy took her away for some relaxation time,” Jenson said in a light tone. “What kind of sickness?” Baby Robbie clenched his fists. Jenson was silent. “Did her anxiety disorder get worse?” Baby Zetty asked. His intuitions told Baby Robbie that Daddy would not have taken Mommy away if it was purely her anxiety disorder.Jenson looked at the sisters from the military intelligence division. Not wanting them to think that they had been abandoned,
“Bad news, Grand Old Master, Young Master Robbie and the ladies adopted by Master Ares have stormed into Fragrant Vessel Court aggressively.”Grand Old Master Ares was so shocked that he placed the teacup in his hand on the table and said, “Push me over there. Hurry.”Fragrant Vessel Court. Chloe, Sandra, and Judy were sitting by the courtyard as they chatted. Judy was very at a loss about her future, and her mood was utterly gloomy. She complained to Chloe, “Aunt Chloe, I think Brother Jay is unable to get rid of Angeline in this lifetime. Could it be that our relationship is hopeless now?”On Chloe’s aged face, her wrinkles seemed to have deepened by a whole lot now. She sighed in a lonesome manner. “You still have a little hope as long as Jay and Angeline are still in Imperial Capital. Even if Jay and Angeline don’t divorce, you can stay as a little mistress behind Jay. However, this is too degrading for you.”After so many obstacles and blows, Chloe had learned to compromise.
