At this moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.Angeline calmed herself down and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. She’s still my mother-in-law no matter what. Although I hate her, I won’t hold a grudge as long as she doesn’t cross the line.”Grand Old Master Yorks felt as though a heavy weight had been lifted off his shoulders.Grand Old Master Ares hurried over to enliven the atmosphere. "Alright now, Chief Yorks. Now that Angeline is back, we should hold a grand welcome ceremony for her some other day and invite the Severes to be our guests. You can then see your great-grandson again."Grand Old Master Ares’ words had far-reaching effects.He was reminding Grand Old Master Yorks that now that Angeline had returned, Shirley and Mrs. Yorks would drop by and visit often as well.Cole and Spencer would have hope of reuniting with them again.This was Grand Old Master Yorks’ wish.This teeny bit of hope cheered Grand Old Master Yorks up.This was the end of this brief episode.T
After a long and hectic night, Angeline and Jay could only sleep for a short while before it was dawn again.Worried about his mother, Jay finished his breakfast in a hurry and rushed to the hospital.This time, Angeline did not insist on going to the hospital with him. Jay looked at Angeline in surprise. “Don’t… you want to come along?”Angeline waved at him and said self-deprecatingly, “I’m not going. My presence will not be conducive for your mother’s recovery.”Jay stroked her nose and said, “How nice would it be if my mother knows how to avoid conflict and live together in harmony?”Angeline saw the forlorn look in Jay's eyes and stroked his handsome face gently, doing her best to calm him down. "Don't worry. I'll take a detour the next time I see her. I won't get mad at her anymore either, lest she falls sick again and you’re the one who has to suffer.”Jay held Angeline's hands with his large warm ones. His delicate and charming face lit up with a dazzling smile. “You’re t
Jay was sandwiched between his mother and wife just like sandwich cookies. How could he possibly lead a peaceful life this way?Chloe cried out and complained, “It’s because you indulged her that she has become so spoiled and arrogant. She doesn’t respect me as her mother-in-law and even slapped me in public.”“Why did she slap you?" Jay guided his mother patiently and systematically, deciding to have a peaceful talk with her so she would realize her mistakes.“I just called her a jinx for bringing misfortune to her husband." Chloe did not think she was wrong at all.Grand Old Master Yorks flew into a rage. "Chloe Yorks, you said that she brought misfortune to her husband, but that husband is your precious son Jay, isn’t it? You’re cursing Jay then, aren’t you? Why don’t you get it?Chloe said anxiously, “I didn't mean to curse Jay. I just think that Jay will never have a peaceful life as long as she’s with him. I feel sorry for Jay, that’s all.”Jay said calmly, "Don't blame Ang
Jay could not say no to his mother's pleas, so he reluctantly agreed.At night, Jay sat on the sofa and chatted with Chloe.Angeline texted Jay. [Jaybie, what time are you coming home?] When Jay saw Angeline’s text, he could imagine how excited Angeline was. He felt very guilty and replied to her: [Baby, I can't come back today. My mother tried her best to get me to stay, and I don’t feel great saying no to her. Get some rest, don't wait up for me.] Angeline’s expression turned sad when she saw his message. The reason why Jay was not coming home was not that Chloe Yorks was in an unstable condition, but it was that Chloe did not want him to go home. She replied to Jay: [In that case, get some rest. Goodnight.] When Jay saw that seemingly neutral text from Angeline, his mood turned gloomy.Jay had not seen Angeline for the entire day. He had been occupied with taking care of his mother who received an infusion earlier that day. Once he was done with that, Chloe k
Jay glanced at Judy and said, "Just leave it somewhere." He did not want to come into contact with items that other women had touched. Judy frowned and put the glass of water back to where it was. Chloe reached out her hand to Jay weakly. "JJ, please help me get up." Jay walked over and helped Chloe up. "I'm thirsty. Can I have some water?" Judy went over with the spiked water. "Jay, can you please take a sip for me and let me know if it’s too hot?" Jay took a small sip. "It’s alright." Chloe took the glass of water but did not drink it. Instead, she told Jay, "By the way, JJ, I feel so much better today. Can you go talk to the doctor and see if we can make a change to today’s treatment plan?" Jay stood up and said, "Okay." When he left, Jay grabbed his phone. As he walked out of the ward, Jay could not wait to call Angeline. Angeline answered the call almost immediately. She said in a lazy but coquettish voice, "Jay, I've been waiting for such a
On the way back to Tourmaline Estate, Chloe repeatedly told Jay, "JJ, I’ve thought about it. As long as you and Angeline are happy, I won’t disrupt your relationship. I think that it’s best that she and I don’t meet. We can then all live in peace. Please let her know on my behalf that she can disregard our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship. We won’t meet each other if possible." She was afraid that Angeline would find out about her scheme if they met. Jay also knew that the conflict between the both of them was on the extreme side, and this was a good way to keep the peace. As such, he agreed to Chloe’s request. After returning to Tourmaline Estate, Jay sent Chloe off to Fragrant Vessel Court. Chloe asked him to stay for dinner. Jay was eager to head back to Angeline, so he refused. "Mom, I haven't had dinner with Angeline for a few days now. I won't stay for dinner with you tonight." Judy walked up to Jay and said with a smile, "Jaybie, please stay." The
She set her eyes on Jay's slender but chiseled body. That noble and elegant temperament of his made him look great in all styles of clothes. She stared at his charming face and mysterious eyes while thinking to herself, ‘How could anyone give up on such a man?’ "Jaybie, I must be with you," Judy said. Château de Selene. Jay tiptoed into the house and went to the bathroom to wash his face. He was finally able to suppress the guilt he was feeling. After he came out of the shower, Jay lay down next to Angeline gently. Initially, he did not want to disturb her sleep. However, after longing for her for a few days, he was unable to hold himself back. He gently turned sideways and held her in his arms. Angeline opened her eyes and looked at him bitterly. Jay was surprised. "You’re awake?" He felt joy from the bottom of his heart. He could talk to her about everything that had happened. He hugged her tightly and said, "Angeline, I miss you." Angeline sounded li
Jay looked at Angeline, who was blushing, then pinched her cheeks endearingly. He smiled and said, "Remember when we were kids? You got drunk, climbed onto trees to grab birds, and even secretly trimmed grandpa's beard...This is nothing compared to those." Angeline kept quiet. Her childhood memories in Tourmaline Estate flowed through her mind. When she was a child, she was a top student who was great in her academics and had a good character. However, she was close with Zayne since they were young and eventually, Zayne, the class clown, changed her for the worse. All of Angeline's favorite activities then became very male-centric. It was rare for her to sit down quietly like a lady. If she had not met Jay, she would not have become a lady. "Let's go." Jay dragged Angeline to the outdoor dining area in Château de Selene. Grand Old Master Ares was sitting in a wheelchair. When he saw Jay and Angeline walking over hand in hand, his wrinkled but elegant face fl
“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
