Jay took out some clothes from the closet when Angeline suddenly called out with a coquettish voice, "Jaybie."Goosebumps broke out all over Jay’s body.Whenever Angeline acted coquettishly back then, the impression she gave him was soft and adorable, unlike the extremely seductive demeanor she had put on today.He stared at her in a daze, wondering what she was trying to do this time.“I want to wear something beautiful today.”She was in a good mood because Josephine was here.Jay took out a lace dress, Angeline's favorite dress.Angeline shook her head… Jay was a little startled. "What do you want to wear then?"“The really conservative, traditional, and intricate one..."“Speak human language, okay?" Jay let out an extremely pampering smile.“Folk costume.”Jay was dumbfounded.Women in Cloud City loved wearing bunad. Every time Angeline went out for a walk, she would praise anyone who was wearing a bunad. Then, under her persuasion, Jay bought her a few sets of bunad
Josephine glanced at the door with a guilty conscience and whispered, “Don't listen to my brother. He just wants you to gain weight so you can be healthier. But I can assure you that you’re at your ideal weight right now. You’re absolutely gorgeous.”Angeline put on the bunad that consisted of a goose-yellow blouse and a pleated skirt. The bunad collar, sleeves, and skirt were all embroidered with exquisite Norwegian flower designs using blue silk threads. The ribbon on her waist fluttered and danced lightly, which made her look so intoxicatingly beautiful.Josephine then dexterously helped her put her hair up in an updo, placed a crown on her head, and inserted flowers into it to make a flower headdress. It made her look as beautiful as an ethereal fairy.“Oh, you look so stunning. Now I want to wear a bunad too,” Josephine exclaimed.Angeline took out a set of bunad for Josephine as if performing a magic trick. "I bought this specially for you."Josephine hugged Angeline and sta
One could imagine the hard work Jay had put in to help Angeline achieve a medical miracle and recover.“Thank you, Brother Jay.”Jay rolled his eyes at him and said unkindly, “Why is an outsider like you thanking me for doing something that’s within my duty?”Zayne was no longer touched. His dashing face turned dark instantly as he roared, “You’re dangerously possessive toward my sister. Have you thought about changing your profession?”Jay turned his head to look at Angeline as she smiled sweetly, looking as gorgeous as a painting. He did not know why he should give up possessing a treasure that was his to begin with.Jay hooked his arms, and Angeline fell into his arms instantly. He announced provocatively, "Angeline is mine and mine alone."Zayne gave up on arguing with him about this never-conclusive topic. “Yeah, yeah, yours. She’s all yours.”As this was Josephine’s first time in Cloud City, she was curious about the new place and suggested, “Sis Angeline, can you take me
Angeline took Jay's hand and said with a smile, “You’re the only one I’m obsessed with. I don't have much preference for other things in life. I’m happy enough to just have them.”Jay pulled her into his arms. “Angeline, meeting you has been the luckiest thing that has ever happened in my life.”The red sun was hanging in the sky.Jay held Angeline's hand and as they strolled along Cloud City’s cobbled streets. Perhaps it was Angeline’s otherworldly beauty or Jay’s dashing face and noble aura, they would turn heads wherever they went.“You’ve indeed knocked their socks off today, Angeline,” Jay said.Angeline was smug and grew narcissistic. “Do you feel threatened, then? Even just a little bit?”Jay wore a smile on his face.Suddenly, they heard whispers behind them. “Oh my, look how handsome that man is.”Angeline’s expression sank instantly.Jay could not help but laugh. “Do you feel threatened now? Even just a little bit?”Angeline felt as though she had gone out for wool
Jay said, “Will you ever learn if I don’t touch your soft spot? Stop forcing Angeline to do the things she doesn't want to do next time.”“What did I force her to do?"“To undress herself.”“What's wrong with asking her to undress? It's for her own good!"“She doesn’t want to.”Zayne, “...”“I don’t want to talk to you.” Zayne was exasperated.Jay pulled Angeline up. "Let's go home."Both Zayne and Josephine thought it was no longer fun because Angeline and Jay were not there to keep them company anymore, so they said weakly, “We’re going home too.”They then booked a cab home. The first thing Angeline and Josephine did after entering the house was to take a shower and change out of their bunads.Zayne stroked his flat belly and called out, “I’m hungry, Brother Jay.”Jay snapped, saying, “I’m not your parent. Don’t you know how to cook for yourself when you’re hungry?”“Do you have instant food?”“No.”Zayne started complaining, “Why didn’t you prepare some instant food?
"No way, Brother Jay, have you run out of money? You should’ve told me about it. How poor are you that you can’t even afford to buy meat?” Zayne lamented.Jay filled the plates and stuffed one into Zayne's hand while saying, “We’re vegans now.”Zayne was dumbfounded. “Why don’t you want to eat meat?”“Angeline's stomach can't take it,” Jay replied.Zayne, “...”Jay went out carrying the dishes while Zayne stood on the same spot with tears in his eyes.He was truly touched because Jay was willing to become a vegan for Angeline. This was, after all, not something that would last only a day or two.When Zayne walked out of the kitchen, he saw Jay eating elegantly. Even when he was only eating a simple diet, his noble and dashing face still looked both satisfied and blissful.Suddenly, Zayne realized how lucky Angeline was to have met Jay. Although Jay’s parents had brought many misfortunes to Angeline, Jay’s deep love for her seemed to have eased out all those misfortunes.As the
Zayne asked suspiciously, “Can you eat snacks?”Angeline stole a peek at Jay's bedroom and whispered, “I really want to eat some. Sneak out and buy some. I’ll eat it in secret. Jaybie mustn’t find out about this.”Zayne saw the pitiful look on Angeline's face and became soft-hearted. He turned around and walked out the door to get some snacks. In no time at all, Zayne returned with a big bag of snacks.After eating a simple diet for so long, Angeline started drooling when she saw the slightly peppery beef jerky snacks.Zayne was so exhausted that he lay on the couch and said to Angeline, “Your brother is both exhausted and thirsty. Please make me a glass of goat’s milk.”Angeline pulled out a packet of goat’s milk powder and was just about to go to the kitchen when Josephine grabbed Angeline. She snatched the goat’s milk powder from her hand and smashed it at Zayne, saying, “My brother can’t even stand seeing Sis Angeline doing the tiniest bit of housework and you’re ordering Sis
Angeline smiled. “I’m fine, darling.”Jay looked at her with trepidation. Angeline had recovered by now and her complexion was back to normal again.“I’m really fine. You know I can’t stand anything that reeks ever since my body started rejecting food. I threw up just now simply because I couldn’t stand the stench when Josephine threw up…” Angeline explained.It was only then did Jay feel slightly at ease.“Are you really okay?”Angeline felt really sorry when she saw how anxious Jay was about her and wrapped her arms around his neck. She sounded slightly abashed. “I’m sorry, Jaybie. I ate some snacks and drank some goat’s milk.”Jay's dashing face turned dark at once.Fury tore through him. “Who gave them to you? What else did you eat?”Angeline knew he would be enraged. Afraid that he would take it out on Zayne and Josephine, she felt the need to do her best to pacify him.“Don’t be angry, Jaybie.“I know I was wrong.“I’ll watch my mouth from now on…”Jay looked into Ang
“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
