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
Jay stroked Angeline’s beautiful face. She looked at him, smiling brighter than any mountain flower.To prevent him from worrying about her, Angeline had asked Grandma Boye to inject her with biological agents. She firmly believed that Grandma Boye could completely cure her disease.However, she was not aware of the fact that Jay had previously discussed her illness with Grandma Boye. Grandma had said that Angeline’s disease was initially triggered due to genetics, and her mental illness was due to external causes. The biological agents could only get rid of her psychologically induced factors and allowed her to affirm that she was a healthy person who could do things a healthy person could do. If life went well in the future, perhaps her illness would not reoccur. However, if she encountered major trauma once more, it was not impossible that it would recur.In a nutshell, there were still variables in the future. As such, Jay could not let himself become weak because he was Angel
“If others know that I’m your wife, my boss will fear me and my colleagues will stop at nothing to flatter me. Do you think I’ll be able to make genuine friends?” asked Angeline.Jay was dumbfounded. “Do you still need more friends?”Angeline was slightly stunned. She realized that Jay was starting to get paranoid again and quickly hugged him while acting coquettishly. “Having you by my side is enough for me, and I don’t need any more genuine friends. But it’d be nice to have multiple friends in a workplace. It’ll lead to more paths in the future.”Jay said with an extraordinarily domineering tone, “There’s no need. You have me, and I promise you all the paths will still lead you to Rome.”Angeline, “...”It seemed like today was not a good day for negotiations. “Let’s postpone the job hunt. Darling, school’s about to start, so let’s prepare for the children’s advancement instead,” Angeline cleverly changed the subject.Jay absent-mindedly muttered, “They’re all grown up now, s
Baby Robbie walked toward Mommy and hugged her waist from behind. He was smiling enchantingly. “Mommy, how can you do such dirty work? Let your son handle it.”Angeline turned to look at Baby Robbie, pinching his gorgeous face. “My Baby Robbie is such a gentleman. He’ll surely swoon all the girls in the future.”As she said these words, Angeline’s face suddenly became stern. “Don’t you dare try messing with them.”Baby Robbie wondered if he should be laughing or crying…Angeline gave Baby Robbie the task of making the fruit platter, and she returned to Jay’s side to have a chat with the children.“I heard that Poppy dressed up as a boy and received a love letter from a girl. Is that true?” Angeline asked with a smile. Sis Two laughed wildly. “Hahaha. Mommy, that girl and I are best friends now.”Angeline said, “Having a lot of friends is a good thing. But you shouldn’t merely use your charm on girls. It’ll be good for you to make friends of the opposite sex too.”Jay frowned
Judging from Sis Two’s somewhat ashamed reaction, Angeline could sense some helplessness from her. She could tell that the child had concealed her past life from them.Sis Two burst into tears and said, “I grew up in an orphanage… I was abandoned by my parents right after I was born. Later on, I stole something from the grocery store and people were chasing after me. That was when Foster Father saw me. He adopted me after seeing me run very fast.”Angeline walked over and gently hugged Sis Two in her embrace.Sis Two merely explained with very few words, but it vividly expressed the sadness and helplessness of the first half of her life.Angeline felt sorry for the child, and she said with tearful eyes, “From now on, you’ll stay by my side. No one else can bully you anymore. You’re now the eldest daughter of the Ares family.”Jay added, “We’ll change your name to Andy Ares. How about it?”Sis Two wiped her tears and broke into a smile.“Okay, I like it.”Angeline explained, “Wh
