Jay looked lovingly at Angeline. She could bring herself to forgive Chloe even after the constant harm she had inflicted upon her, as well as turn a blind eye to Josephine’s selfish request… Those who did not know her personally might think that she was a doormat.However, he alone knew that Angeline was a noble young lady with quite a temper. She was merely treating those around her tenderly.As for him, he felt like a failure because he could not protect her well.“Are you tired, Angeline?" Jay asked softly.Angeline grabbed his arm like an octopus, shaking her head. "I’m not tired."“You should sit down and take a break. I'll buy your clothes for you," Jay suggested.Like a deer, Angeline blinked her innocent eyes. “Do you know my size?”Jay's malicious gaze fell on Angeline's chest. "What do you think?"Angeline blushed. "Go on then.”Zayne, Josephine, and Angeline sat on the soft couch. Josephine opened her mouth several times in an attempt to speak and finally mustered u
Angeline's hand fell on Josephine's shoulder. She patted, saying, “Step aside, Josephine. I want to say a few things to her.”Josephine said, "Sis Angeline, you know how harsh her words can be. There’s no need to listen to her unrelenting babbling.”Angeline said, "Don't worry, she can't hurt me anymore."Josephine had no choice but to step aside. Angeline took two steps forward and stood in front of Chloe. With a cold and sharp gaze, she looked down at Chloe as she sat in the wheelchair.Chloe looked up at her, her eyes full of anger and unwillingness.“Angeline Severe, I thought you lost weight after getting anxiety disorder and falling into depression? Why do you look like you’re living a comfortable and fulfilling life instead?”Judy added inflammatory details, saying, “Hmph, she’s clearly sadfishing on purpose.”Upon realizing that things were going in the wrong direction, Josephine quickly whispered to Zayne, “Hurry up and summon Big Brother over.”Zayne started running s
Chloe was furious. “I haven’t seen you for a while now but you’ve become pretty sharp-tongued, eh?”Angeline's eyes glowed coldly as she roared, “You’re the one who turned me into this person today! I admit that it was my bad luck that I was harmed by you, but I can’t believe you actually imposed your ignorant, greedy, and selfish thoughts on Jaybie, bringing him immeasurable pain. This itself is enough to give me a reason not to forgive you anymore.”Chloe found it ridiculous. “He’s my son. Why would I harm my son? You’re slinging mud at me!” Angeline said, "You keep saying that you’re doing it for his own good, but you’ve never cared about his feelings. You treat him as your property and try to manipulate him blindly. You’ve forgotten that he’s human too, a man with an independent mind. He has feelings and emotions of his own. When he doesn’t obey you, you become furious and use your identity as his mother to exploit him. You’re the reason why he will forever struggle in this lif
Jay said in an indifferent tone, “I’ll remind Angeline to take a detour whenever she sees you next time.”Chloe was nonplussed again.“What do you mean by that, Jay? Are you blaming me for provoking Angeline?” Chloe could not believe that her beloved son would love Angeline so much that he could no longer tell right from wrong.She was extremely disappointed in Jay. “Do you know what she did to me? She slapped me and scolded me, but instead of accusing her, you’re blaming me for provoking her?”Jay said in a cold voice, “You owe her a life, Mom.”Chloe widened her eyes. "What do you mean by that? So you think she’s supposed to kill me?” Chloe started crying aggrievedly. “You’re just siding with your wife.”Jay said with pink eyes. “I sided with you once and ended up hurting Angeline greatly. You’re both of equal importance to me, Mom. Now you’re trying to take one of them away from me, do you think I won’t feel hurt?”Chloe roared, “You’re plain silly!”Jay instructed Judy and
After returning home, Jay quickly sat in front of Angeline. He massaged her legs to loosen up her tense muscles.“Are you tired?" Jay asked, trying to sound her out.Angeline nodded. “A little.”Jay's complexion turned ashen at once. He looked so distressed like it was the end of the world.Angeline could sense Jay’s excessively stern complexion and realized that he might be making a fuss over her health again.Angeline sighed inwardly. She had to find a way to untie the knot in his heart.At dinner, it was clear that Jay had a bad appetite.Zayne teased him, saying, "A seven-foot man eating much less than a cat, it’s no wonder he’s getting thinner and thinner."Josephine glared at Zayne. “Zip it.”Angeline looked at Jay's bony face and remembered Chloe's accusation against her. She suddenly felt that Chloe was not at all unreasonable.At the very least, she was the one who triggered Jaybie's weight loss.After dinner, Jay returned to the master bedroom listlessly and sat on
After hanging up the phone, Jay was momentarily dazed.His mother and Angeline just had a fierce argument during the day. Could her sudden onset have something to do with Angeline?Jay lifted the quilt… He quietly got dressed and kissed Angeline, who was still sleeping soundly, and turned around to leave.Angeline suddenly opened her eyes and stared dazedly at him.“I’ll go too," she said.Jay said, “I don’t think you should go, Angeline. Mom is critically ill. Judy and Sandra will definitely sow discord in front of the Yorks. I don’t want them to give you any trouble.”Angeline sat up and said, “If I don't go, then they’ll criticize you. You always swallow your grievances. I can’t bear seeing them accusing you wrongly.”Jay could not dissuade Angeline and had no choice but to help her change into her clothes.Half an hour later.Tourmaline Estate.Fragrant Vessel Court was crowded with people.All the Ares and Yorks family members were restlessly wandering the courtyard lik
"You must be tired, right?" He pulled Angeline into his arms so that she could lean on him.Grand Old Master Yorks was overwhelmed by Angeline’s kindness. “Thank you for helping us today, Angeline.”Angeline smiled shyly.Standing on one side, Grand Old Master Ares let out an amiable smile, saying, “You should accept our praise because you deserve it.”The third wife had always been very grateful to Jay and his wife for helping her coach her son, Jean Ares, and for helping her reunite with James Ares.When she saw Angeline, the third wife said cordially, “You’re finally back, Angeline. Why don’t you stay and eat with us before you leave?”Jean smiled and said, “What are you talking about, Mom? Sis Angeline is Tourmaline Estate’s person in charge. She’s not going to leave once she comes back.”Grand Old Master Ares turned his gaze to Grand Old Master Yorks. Grand Old Master Yorks stepped forward and said humbly, “Angeline, Jay, I was wrong to have treated you that way in the past
Grand Old Master Yorks did not speak for a very long time. He felt sorry for his daughter but dared not stand up for her rashly. Offending Angeline would only make things worse.However, there was a troubled look on his face. If Angeline did not give him an explanation, then this would continue to trouble him.Angeline walked up to Judy, raised her hand, and slapped Judy on the face twice.Sandra hurried over and said with ulterior motives in mind, “Why did you hit her, Angeline? We swallowed our anger when you hit your mother-in-law yesterday, but now you’re slapping Judy for no reason. If we don’t stop you now, you’re going to keep—”Before Sandra could finish her sentence, Angeline gave her another slap on the face.Spencer's eyes widened… Grand Old Master Ares had no idea why the meek and obedient Angeline would suddenly become so violent. He, too, stood dazedly on the spot.Angeline pointed at Sandra and Judy, saying indignantly, “It’s because of people like you who are so
“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
