In Boye's courtyard. Angeline buried her head on Grandma Boye's lap and acted like a baby. "Grandma, I relapsed yesterday. Jaybie was so worried that he didn't sleep much all night. I didn't sleep well either." Angeline had a loving and chatty personality. As long as the other family member was not malicious, she would be extremely friendly toward them. Boye had never spent time with her own children. Angeline's actions melted her heart, and her maternal instincts kicked in. She looked at Angeline and said affectionately, "What’s wrong with your mother-in-law? She has such a good daughter-in-law, I don’t know why she’s doing all these to you to hurt you. Angeline, you have me. Grandma Boye loves you. Listen to me, your disease may not be curable with other doctors, but in my case, it’s easy peasy." Tears flowed from Angeline's dark brown eyes. She used to resist Grandma Boye's treatment plan. She wanted to go with Jaybie's wishes so he would not be worried. After all, Grand
Angeline smiled. "Grandma knows best." Boye continued talking, "Angeline, another thing. After you recover, get a hobby. Life is not all about finding love. It’s also important to realize one's self-worth. After you find something that you like to do, you will have no excess energy to worry about things. It will greatly improve your condition." Angeline nodded. She felt a sense of enlightenment. At the door, Jay turned around and left quietly. Boye then brought Angeline around her laboratory. At the end of the tour, she explained in detail the cause of Angeline’s illness, touching on hereditary factors, environmental triggers, and neurotransmitters. She thoroughly explained Angeline’s treatment plan. After she was done, she asked Angeline, "Do you understand all of that?" Angeline nodded charmingly as she said, "I do." Boye said to the old man who was focused on experimenting, "Did you hear that? Angeline can understand everything I just told her!" The old man
Jay said, “You be careful now.”“Okay.”Angeline walked out with the plate in her hands, and just as she reached the door, Zayne suddenly yelled, “Ahh!”Angeline was so startled that the baked eggplants on the plate fell to the ground. At the next moment, Angeline stared at Zayne in anger. Zayne pointed at the dictionary aggrievedly. “I was looking for a name for your nephew.” It turned out he had yelled out of joy after finding the perfect name.Angeline was heartbroken over the food that was splattered on the ground and bent over to pick the pieces up.Jay strode over and helped Angeline up. He said, “It’s alright.”Angeline said sorrowfully, “It’s wasted.”Jay replied, “It’s not wasted. You ate a lot earlier. They were only meant to relieve your hunger anyway, so you shouldn’t eat too much of these. Let’s pick these up and let Zayne have them.”Zayne widened his eyes and looked at Jay, unable to restrain himself. “Big Brother, I’m not a trash can.”Jay retorted, “Who st
It was not that Jay did not want to return to Imperial Capital. He merely did not want to go home to face the irreconcilable conflicts between his mother and wife. There were still many things that were out of his control. That night, Josie received a message from Imperial Capital: [Chloe had a heart attack, and her life’s in danger. She’s been sent to Grand Asia Hospital for emergency treatment.]This piece of news made Jay’s heart feel like a stone had been thrown into the sea, causing ripples that could not be calmed for quite some time. Ultimately, Angeline walked up to him and spoke frankly. “Darling, no matter what, she’s your mother. Children are still supposed to care for their parents. Since you haven’t been with her in this duration, you should at least go back and visit now that she’s seriously ill.” Angeline was rather vague. She was truthfully more afraid that Chloe would kick the bucket and the two would miss out on the opportunity to see each other for the last
Zayne abruptly opened his eyes. When he saw Angeline, he closed his eyes and went back to sleep. He said drowsily, “Make it yourself.”“You know that I’m sick,” Angeline cried out.“I’m still weak too,” replied Zayne. As soon as Jay left, Angeline instantly felt the feeling of falling from the bliss of heaven. Fortunately, Josie was one to place righteousness before family. She kicked Zayne’s butt out of bed and completely woke him up. Josie said to him, “Go make breakfast.”Zayne sat on the ground, looking at Angeline who was glaring at him and then at the intrepid Josephine. He laughed at himself. “There are two gentle and virtuous women in the house, and neither of them does housework. What’s going on with the world nowadays? Have all the women gone rogue?”Angeline replied, “A woman’s sole responsibility is staying beautiful.”Zayne rolled his eyes at her. “Did Master Ares say that?”Angeline nodded, her face filled with pride. “Yeah.”Zayne rolled his eyes once more.
Chloe retorted, “What’s the point in being sorry? You only have your wife in your heart anyway. When I’m dissatisfied with her, you treat me as your foe and bear grudges against me. Giving birth to you was my mistake.”Jay kept his silence and allowed Chloe to condemn him. Judy complained to him, “Brother Jay, Aunt Chloe had a hard time when you weren’t around. The Severes reprimanded her and the Areses had been nothing but harsh to her. Even Chief Yorks criticized Aunt Chloe about everything she did. Even if Aunt Chloe was wrong, she was only in the wrong because she loves you too much. That’s just maternal instinct. Who’d want their son to marry a sickly wife?”Jay cast a sharp glare toward Judy.Judy trembled with fright and quickly shut her mouth.Chloe looked around for a while and did not see Angeline around. She then asked curiously, “Where’s Angeline?”Only now did Judy realize that Angeline had not returned.Chloe and Judy were now viciously speculating. Could it be? W
“Give Daddy a hug.”Jenson ran over and hugged him tightly. Jay patted Jenson on the head and said tenderly, “You grew taller again.”Jens eagerly wanted to know about his mommy’s condition. “Is Mommy alright?”Jay said, “She’s doing great. She can’t wait to return to Imperial Capital to see all of you again.”Jenson did not see his mom around. Thinking that Mommy and Daddy were usually inseparable, he was somewhat worried that his dad was merely saying this to comfort him. He continued to ask relentlessly, “Then, why didn’t she come back?”Jay said, “Daddy disallowed her from returning.”Jenson felt more relieved. It turned out Daddy was merely protecting Mommy.“Then, did she gain weight?”“She’s chubbier.”“Can she walk?”“She can run and jump… and laugh.”Jenson’s icy expression showed a bright smile. “You’re amazing, Daddy.”The conversation between the father and son was heard by everyone else.Knowing that Angeline was in good condition, everyone’s hearts were a
Grand Old Master Ares hobbled toward Jay with his walking cane. The two had a deep relationship from the start. After having parted for so long and now reunited once more, these moments were precious to Grand Old Master Ares, who was at his golden age.“JJ, come back to Tourmaline Estate tonight and spend the night there. We should catch up.”Jay nodded. “Alright, Grandpa.”Jay said to Jenson again, “Daddy also misses Baby Robbie and the others. Arrange for them to come and meet me, Jens.”Jenson nodded. “Okay.”With that, Jay returned to Tourmaline Estate.That night, Grand Old Master Yorks, Grand Old Master Ares, and Jay sat in the breezy courtyard as they drank tea and had a light chat. Grand Old Master Ares was concerned about Angeline. “Is Angeline’s illness cured?”Whenever someone brought up Angeline, a gentle smile would appear on Jay’s handsome face. He could not hide the pride in his eyes and smiled as he said, “Angeline is very strong and optimistic. She’s also very
“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
