"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
Zayne said, "That’s how he is. When Angeline was just a child, she lost a tooth and that was enough to make Jay worried for a very long time."Angeline was walking in front when Zayne's voice reached her ears faintly, causing her back to freeze slightly.Jay's concern for her was not so much a fuss but rather a gesture done out of love and care that permitted no room for mistakes.She turned to look at Jay, and when he walked up to her, she took the initiative to hold his hand.“Jaybie, I’ll cooperate fully with the doctor in checking my blood when we get to the hospital later.”Jay pinched her face. “Mm.”When she came to the hospital, Angeline put on a brave front and cooperated with the doctor. The doctor drew six vials of blood, and she watched the doctor do it without blinking.When it was Josephine's turn, Josephine closed her eyes and started wailing. “Be gentle, doctor… Ahhhh, why are you so rough…”Jay looked at Angeline thoughtfully.He remembered when he had asked A
Angeline looked at Jay with a soliciting gaze. Jay pondered for a moment before walking into the courtyard while holding Angeline's hand.Josephine and Zayne followed them shamelessly.Boye was slightly startled. Although Jay was her grandson, he was not really close to her, so she was a little surprised to see him taking the initiative to accompany Angeline to see her.Though who would have thought, Jay actually had ulterior motives in mind. He said directly, “Grandma, can you give Angeline and Josephine a medical diagnosis? They vomited at the same time after drinking goat’s milk powder today. Can you find the cause?”It was only then did Boye realize this was the reason why he had taken the initiative to approach her.Boye patted the bench next to her. “Sit down, I’ll take their pulse reading.”Angeline sat down and stretched out her hand.While taking Angeline’s pulse reading, Boye observed both Jay and Angeline, saying, “Angeline, your cheeks are rosier than before and you
Zayne and Josephine had a low chance of getting pregnant and never thought they would ever have the chance.Zayne looked at Jay, and in order to verify Boye’s diagnosis, he sought confirmation from him. “Did you and my sister actually… do that?”Jay replied, “Of course… we did. I’m not sexually dysfunctional.”Zayne rubbed his hands in anger. “You have three children already, why can’t you spare her when she’s sick? If you really want to do it, you should’ve taken the necessary precautions, don’t you think? Do you not know how harmful abortions and miscarriages will be for her?”Angeline smoothed things over and said, “We’ve counted the safe period. I’m not pregnant. I think Josephine is.”Zayne and Josephine were dumbfounded."It's not me, it can't be me. We’ve tried for so long but couldn’t get pregnant at all,” Josephine said.Boye drank a sip of tea before finally announcing the conclusion of her diagnosis."JJ, Angeline’s body rejected food some time ago and she has an ext
Josephine stuck out her belly. “Aren’t you worried that the child in my belly will not like you in the future if you make me angry?”Zayne embraced Josephine's belly and fixed his attitude immediately. “Okay, okay, I was wrong. I’ll change.”Boye grinned from ear to ear as she stared at the bunch of young people, exclaiming, “Everything has its vanquisher indeed.”Zayne sat next to Boye with a mischievous smile and pleaded with her, "Grandma Boye, I heard that it’s very hard to get your diagnosis. Since fate has brought us together, can you make an exception and give me a diagnosis?”Boye was dumbfounded… Zayne then pointed at Jay. “While you’re at it, give him a diagnosis as well.”Jay said coldly, "I don't need it. I'm not sick." He turned around and walked off after saying those words.Angeline quickly chased after him.Jay was in a bad mood. He was pulling a long face and hurrying forward at a fast pace. Angeline could only trot to keep up with him. In the end, she had no
Zayne looked at the forlorn expression on Josephine's face and made a firm decision instantly. “We won’t leave, then. We’ll stay and ask Brother Jay to cook some amazing food for you mothers so you can both get enough nourishment for your bodies.”Zayne’s voice was so loud that even Angeline and Jay could hear everything he said. Angeline raised her eyelids to look at Jay. Jay's slim face was as sharp and as intimidating as a knife, but at the same time, he looked so infinitely charming.A hint of wisdom flashed across Angeline's eyes, and she whispered to Jay, “You must have been really exhausted lately, Jaybie. Since Zayne is here, you can leave the house chores to him.”The somberness that Zayne gave Jay earlier had dissipated completely. Knowing that Angeline could not bear to see him suffer had made him realize just how much Angeline loved him, and this cheered him up greatly.“Can you get used to eating the food he cooks?” This was the only thing that Jay was worried about.
“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
