She had tried her best to be nice to Daddy these few days, but it seemed like Daddy still did not like her.When Jay entered the house holding Baby Robbie, Rose was sitting restlessly on the couch waiting for the children. When she saw Jay holding the sleeping Baby Robbie in his arms whereas Jenson held the hand of a drowsy-looking Baby Zetty, Rose’s heart sank a little.Jay was well-known for being domineering, but seeing how he was even showing preferential treatment to children, she now saw him in a very bad light. "Mommy." When Baby Zetty saw her mommy, she threw herself into her mommy's arms pitifully.Rose rubbed her tiny head tenderly. Baby Zetty's voice carried a trace of whimper that was almost difficult to detect. She was clearly heartbroken by Daddy's unfair treatment.Rose picked Baby Zetty up, took Jenson’s hand, and went upstairs."Rose!"Jay's deep and serene gaze fell on Rose's thin but resilient back.Standing at the top of the stairs, Rose turned her head aro
Jay had successfully triggered his digestive disorders in the middle of the night.His stomach hurt so badly that he found it impossible to fall asleep. He had no choice but to go downstairs to look for his medicine. He ended up stumbling on the stairs, causing Rose to wake with a start when she heard the loud noise.Rose walked out with a coat draped over her shoulders. When she saw Jay sitting on the stairs holding his stomach, she knew instantly that he was having a relapse. She ran over quickly and tried to carry Jay back to his room, but Jay was six foot two and had no strength to support himself at the moment. Rose could not move him at all.She had no choice but to run downstairs. After finding his medicine, she poured him a glass of warm water and returned to his side. She fed him the medicine personally."What nonsense are you trying to give me?" Although Jay was already in so much pain that he could hardly even move, his extraordinary willpower helped him to stay clear-
If this was Angeline, she would not be able to wake up even when the alarm clock rang if she had stayed up late the night before."I’ll go and call Mommy." Worried that Mommy was having a lie-in and that Daddy would teach her a lesson when he found out, the clever Jenson decided to go upstairs to call Mommy lest Daddy made things difficult for her."Let her sleep, Jens!"Jenson turned around and looked at his merciful daddy in amazement."Daddy, you don’t look like you hate Mommy anymore!" Jenson exclaimed after a very long time, unable to hide his excitement.Jay brought out the bagel he made. Jenson looked at the bagel and asked, "Daddy, you actually made breakfast?”Jenson thought that Daddy was acting a little weird today.Jay frowned at Jenson. "You have a lot to say today.”Being dealt a heavy blow, Jenson denied. "No, I don’t."Realizing that it was very inappropriate for him to say this to his autistic son, he salvaged the situation immediately. "I hope you can keep up
Jay warned Jenson by darting him a stern glance. This kid was living off him while helping others in secret. He had promised not to interfere in his relationship, so why was he standing on Baby Robbie's side to go against him now?Rose was poking her bagel with her head lowered, pretending not to hear her son making attempts to encourage Jay to pursue her.She knew even without looking that Jay must look terribly sullen right now."Rose..." Jay's faint voice rang out like an enchanting spell.Rose's hand that was holding the bagel dropped on the table with a thud. Jay frowned. Was she just so afraid of him?"What grudges do you bear against Stephanie Stevens?" Jay had yet to lose his temper even after she had repeatedly made mistakes. Instead, he was changing the subject and questioning her in an exceedingly steadfast tone.Rose put down her cutlery and protested in a whisper. "Sir Ares, I may not be a 100 dollar bill that everyone likes, but that isn’t enough reason for me to g
When he rushed to Grand Asia, Grayson was seen holding a thick folder while waiting for him in the president's office."Show it to me," Jay ordered eagerly as soon as he took his seat.Grayson stepped forward and poured out all the contents from the folder.There was a stack of photos.Some letters.Several drawings.A few CDs!When Jay saw the creative earth-tone rose painting, his lucid and sparkling pupils suddenly turned crimson.This was Angeline's painting. She had a crush on him and would always send him roses. Later, she discovered that the roses always withered, hence she began painting roses for him instead. Earth tone was his favorite tone, hence she made alterations and replaced the crimson color of the red roses."I asked you to perform a background check on Rose, didn’t I? What are these?" Jay questioned in a hoarse voice.Grayson explained. "These things belong to the late Ms. Severe."Jay said painfully, "I know that. I’m asking you why are they here now?"G
Angeline had an untainted aura. Her eyes and brows carried the bliss of a girl who was cherished since childhood. There was also the arrogant, confident, and extraordinary aura that emanated from her very being as a scholar-tyrant.Whether it was the special combination of strength and gentleness that was etched deep in her core or her exceptional and pure otherworldly aura, she was simply too outstanding.Rose, on the other hand, wore attire with vibrant colors that were pieced together. She looked devastated with tears streaming down her face. She clearly had beautiful features and an alluring body, but every advantage portrayed on her just seemed like a reckless waste of God’s creation.She had succeeded in concealing her superior qualities and highlighting the unrefined side of herself as a country bumpkin.Seven years ago, Angeline and Rose were total opposites.A great astonishment manifested on Jay's handsome face. Why, after seven years, did Rose reflect so many vivid shad
Heavens knew how much time and energy he had spent on Angeline. Since she was ten, he had already started making attempts to train her into a like-minded partner. He helped her develop her hobbies and tried his best to spend time with her. She was the only girl who could share a close physical relationship with him.As she was still too young, he would constantly suppress his feelings so that she could live a pure and innocent life just like other ordinary girls.If he had known that she would leave him so soon, then he would not have done his utmost to suppress himself and would have done it the first day she entered adulthood itself.Grayson looked at the crimson-eyed Mr. Ares. He had worked with Mr. Ares for the last few years and knew that Angeline was a taboo subject. He was here to investigate Rose today, but the investigation ended up involving Angeline as well. What a fascinating thing fate was."Mr. Ares, Rose was on the scene during Ms. Severe’s car accident. Don’t you th
Whenever Angeline drew his portrait, it would look extremely lifelike.In other people’s eyes, Jay might be eminent and unapproachable—A horrific and devilish president. In Angeline's eyes, however, he was always just a big boy.In her drawings, he was always wearing a youthful white t-shirt, a platinum necklace with a four-leaf clover lucky charm, and Nike shoes. His hair would flow in the breeze while his eyes were lucid—A big boy with a sunny disposition.Jay held Angeline’s last drawing and it dawned on him how precious this drawing was.He regretted being weak back then, for not having the courage to face Angeline's death. How great would it be if he had seen these mementoes earlier and realized just how much Angeline relied on him.One would think that certain scars would scab and heal slowly if left untouched. What Jay did not expect, however, was that certain scars that were deliberately sealed in one’s heart would only grow richer with time like fine old wine.Take Angel
