“If that’s the case, you shouldn’t hurry back tomorrow. Take a good rest. There’s no need to worry about me,” said Angeline.“Are you getting used to not having me by your side, Angeline?”Angeline did not want to add to his worry, so she said, “Zayne and Josie are here with me, so I’m having a good time.”Jay was slightly more at ease.“That’s good. Cough, cough…”“You have a good rest, darling. I won’t bother you now.”“Angeline, can you stay awhile longer…” Jay pleaded as if he was a child.Baby Robbie crept out and closed the door for Daddy, leaving some quiet space for his parents. Jay and Angeline lay on their beds and chatted on their phones. After some time, Angeline’s tone changed from a passionate state to an occasional response that carried a dazed sense of consternation. Jay guessed that she had fallen asleep and silently placed the phone down. Jay felt particularly tormented that night. The torment of his illness and the anxiety of worrying about Angeline kept h
Angeline’s car had just arrived at Tourmaline Estate when she saw Jordan helping Chloe out of the vehicle by the gate. Judy was beside Chloe as well, keeping her company. Angeline did not want to bump into Chloe to avoid quarreling like the previous few times as it would exhaust Jay’s mind and body. As such, Angeline decided not to disclose her return to Imperial Capital for the time being. Angeline turned her car around and decided to take a smaller road to sneak into Tourmaline Estate.Fragrant Vessel Court.Grand Asia’s respiratory specialists had conducted a joint consultation for Jay and gave him the best diagnosis plan. Based on the tendency of the disease to develop in a severe direction, the experts gave him the atomization treatment. Chloe rushed toward Jay’s bedroom door but was ultimately blocked by Jenson and Baby Robbie. “My daddy needs quiet rest, so we can’t just let anyone in,” said Jenson.Chloe roared furiously, “I’m his mother! I’m not just anyone.”Baby
“Why did you come back?” he asked excitedly. “I was worried about you,” Angeline’s voice was slightly low. Jay looked at Angeline’s gracefully beautiful face. There was a trace of sadness in her eyebrows, and her eyes appeared dejected. She had always been a person who could not hide her emotions.She was so worried about him. The feeling was so intense that it was written all over her face. Jay caressed her soft, black hair and smiled, “Don’t worry. It’s just a cold. I’ll get better soon.”“It’s a nasty cold,” Angeline angrily corrected his words. Then, she handed the thermos in her hand to Jay and said with a smile, “It’s a herbal remedy Grandma Boye prescribed for you. Want some?”Jay looked at the other thermos. “What’s that one?”“I made you chicken noodle soup.”Jay was somewhat jealous. “So, you didn’t immediately come here to see me once you came back? You decided to make soup first?”Angeline smiled and said, “Yeah.”“Do you have any idea how much I’ve missed yo
“Mommy?” Angeline made a silent gesture at them. It was slightly too late to explain to them why she was here, but she still anxiously said, “Your daddy wants to return to Carefree Garden. The two of you help me distract the others.”Jenson stepped forward and supported his dad, saying, “I’ll help you, Mommy.”Baby Robbie walked outside and said, “I’ll distract the others.”Angeline led Jay to Fragrant Vessel Court’s backyard where her car was parked. Then, after placing Jay into the vehicle cautiously, Jenson sat in the driver’s seat. “I’ll drive you guys back.”Angeline sat in the backseat next to Jay.Jay leaned his head on Angeline’s shoulder, coughing violently from time to time. When they arrived at Carefree Garden, Jenson helped his dad reach the bed and hurriedly said goodbye to his parents. “I’ll be heading back to Tourmaline. I’m merely afraid that Tourmaline Estate is already in a frenzy at this time. Mommy...”Jenson walked toward Angeline and gave her a tender hu
In the evening, Jay was no longer as clingy and even tried coaxing Angeline. “I’ll cough continuously at night. It might affect your rest. Why don’t you sleep in the next bedroom, Angeline?”Angeline shook her head and refused him resolutely. “No. You’re a patient, so I can’t leave you here all alone.”Jay used his trump card, saying, “Hey now. Be a good girl. I’ll be all better tomorrow when you wake up.”In the past, Angeline would have melted when she heard these words, and this sentence would have made her obey his every word.Now, Angeline merely squeezed out a bright smile at him. When she uttered her following sentence, her tone was firmer than before, “No, I’ll sleep with you.”Afterward, Angeline jumped onto the bed and lay down beside him without taking off her clothes. Jay sat up in a panic and stared at Angeline blankly.If he had known that he would not be able to deal with the troubles Angeline would cause at night, he would not have begged to return to Carefree G
Seeing that he was indeed getting mad, Angeline stopped her pranks. She held his hand and said emotionally, “Don’t you already know how significant you are in my heart?”Jay was sullen. He was a little unsure himself. “I know that you have a stubborn personality. If you choose to do something, you’ll persevere and see it through. So I was always worried that since my parents had brought upon you so many disasters, you would perhaps… think of retreating. I was afraid that in your point of view, once a husband and wife chose each other, they’d have to finish walking on a shared path together due to responsibility and morality. Angeline, I’m scared that you’re merely staying with me out of force, not because of love….”Angeline was stunned by his words and was in a daze for a long time.She stayed silent, and Jay could feel that his heart was about to jump out of his throat due to tension.After long consideration, Angeline blinked her innocent glazed eyes and said, “Frankly, my feeli
Jenson blurted out, “You can’t go.”Mommy was in Carefree Garden. If Chloe went over and saw Mommy, she would undoubtedly utter more hurtful words to irritate Mommy. Mommy had finally returned from being near death’s door, and Jenson never wanted anyone to hurt Mommy ever again.Daddy and Mommy had gone through so much.Everyone looked at Jenson in a startled manner. Although they knew that Jenson’s character was cold and distant, his behavior of disallowing relatives and friends from visiting his daddy was somewhat unusually ruthless even for him.Chloe threw a fit. “Jens, how can you refuse the elders’ kindness?”Jenson stared at Chloe coldly. “My daddy doesn’t want to stay in Fragrant Vessel Court because of a certain someone. Now that he’s tucked away safely in Carefree Garden, you lot still want to go all the way there. Perhaps you’re planning to soil the last piece of pure land that is Carefree Garden?”Jenson was never willing to accept a compromise or any wrongdoings. He
After hanging up the phone, Grand Old Master Ares calmly said to Grand Old Master Yorks, “JJ’s fever has subsided. And I barely heard a cough from him when we talked. It looks like his illness has improved, so don’t worry about it.”Hearing that Jay’s condition had significantly improved, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Jordan also tactfully tried to persuade Chloe, saying, “Chloe, our child’s condition has gotten better now. So let’s not head to Carefree Garden and disturb his peaceful rest.”Chloe was still upset since she would not get to see Jay.Jenson then bid farewell to everyone and left.Carefree Garden.When Angeline entered Jay’s bedroom with another portion of herbal soup, Jay’s smiling face turned somewhat petrified. “Do I have to drink it again?” He lay on the bed desperately. Angeline placed the soup on the bedside table and extended her hand to pull him up. “Come on now, drink your medicine.”Jay acted coquettishly. “Feed me, Angeline.”“Okay, I’ll feed y
“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
