“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
Zayne banged the villa’s door open and saw that Angeline was crying with her daughters in her arms. The three males of the family were looking at them somewhat speechlessly.Zayne walked toward Jay while patting his chest with lingering fear. “F*ck, you scared me to death. I thought you had kicked the bucket.”Zayne merely cursed Jay out without any restraint, yet he offended the whole household. Almost instantly, everyone was giving him the death stare…Zayne’s forehead was dripping with beads of cold sweat…“Did I walk into a wolves’ den? Please take your sharp eyes off me. I’m scared,” Zayne said timidly.“Why are you here?” Jay’s tone was cold.Zayne muttered angrily, “I heard you were ill and dragged my wife and children here to see you early in the morning. Is this how you treat me?”“Uncle, since when do you have children?” Baby Robbie asked curiously.Zayne tugged Josie over and touched her somewhat flat belly. He said, “They’re here.”Baby Zetty exclaimed in surpris
Josie was puzzled. “Why would we vex your daddy?”Jenson glanced at the deeply gloomy-eyed Jay. Ever since Zayne and Josephine entered the door, there was a cast of shadow in Daddy’s eyes.Jenson said, “Not everyone is as fortunate as Uncle who’s able to care for his pregnant wife personally.”Josie was startled. Big Brother had always felt guilty for not being able to take care of the pregnant Angeline. As such, it was hard for him to watch other pregnant loving couples.Josie smiled and said, “Big Brother, Sis Angeline is still young. She can give birth to another baby for you.”Jay looked at Angeline and saw her tranquil, beautiful appearance. He was secretly fantasizing about the scene of Angeline having another one of his babies again.The whole process just had to be happy and sweet. Josie suddenly got nauseous, and she abruptly stood up to run to the bathroom.Jay’s handsome face darkened at the sight. He instantly dispelled the idea of letting Angeline have another bab
In the study.There was the sound of Jay coughing from time to time as well as the sounds of Angeline and him bickering.“Where are they?”“I don’t remember where I put them.”“Get out of my way.”“No way.”Jay picked Angeline up and placed her on the desk. As he was turning around to look through the bookcase, Angeline hugged him tightly and exclaimed, “Ahhhhh! Let go of me! Let me go!”“Don’t mess around,” Jay said tenderly. “I’m not...” Angeline held onto him tightly. Jay was in between laughter and tears. “Then let go of me.”“I will not. I’ll never let you go in this lifetime,” said Angeline.Jay looked helplessly at the little woman who wrapped herself around him. The words she said about never letting him go in this lifetime had utterly brightened and dazzled up his mood.“Why don’t you want to show them to me?” Jay asked softly. Angeline replied, “I was so ugly.”Jay rubbed on her soft hair and comforted her, saying, “I won’t dislike you because of it.”“It’s
Jay suddenly remembered that when she was pregnant the other time, her reaction to it had been so severe that she constantly vomited. Perhaps it was the same as the first time.He suddenly saw a line of text under the photo, which stated the size of the fetuses at four months of pregnancy. Above it, it mentioned that the fetuses’ development was lagging by one week.Angeline was somewhat ashamed, saying, “Jaybie, I was too stubborn at the time. I’d eat if I felt like eating, and I wouldn’t have a single bite if I didn’t feel like it. I didn’t take into account that the children in my stomach needed nourishment, hence I caused their slow development.”Jay’s voice was slightly hoarse. “You would’ve been alright if I was by your side.”As he looked through the photos, Angeline’s body was rapidly bulging out like a pillow.Angeline looked at Jay shyly. “Isn’t it so ugly?”Jay was choked up and said, “It’s not.”His fingers gently stroked Rose’s belly, feeling extremely sad. Around t
As soon as Jay and Angeline took their seats, Baby Zetty put food on her parents’ plates.“Daddy, your favorite vegetable dish.“Mommy, your favorite phoenix tail oyster mushroom.”Zayne said sourly, “How nice it is to have such a considerate daughter.”He then looked at Josephine's belly and said, “Let's have a daughter, Josie.”Josephine asked curiously, "Didn't you say you want a son the other day?"Zayne stared at the cold and lofty Jenson and the ridiculously charming Baby Robbie, saying, “I’ve thought about it… Maybe a son isn’t exactly a good choice.”“Why isn’t it a good choice?” Jenson and Baby Robbie gave him a death stare at the same time!Zayne's aura weakened in an instant.Jay defended his sons domineeringly, saying, “Your uncle has nothing against sons. He’s just worried that his son won’t grow taller than you two, won’t become more good-looking than you two, or as capable as you two… He’s going to be really embarrassed if his son is more inferior than you two i
