They originally came here feeling excited, expecting to see Angeline being cruelly thrown aside by Jay. They never expected to see Jay pampering her so lovingly. Chloe and Judy stood there, embarrassed. They did not know whether they should stick around or leave. They were here as guests.As such, Angeline warmly and hospitably said to them, “Mom, since you’re already here, why don’t you have lunch with us?”Chloe proceeded to nod her head.Since she had come all the way here, she could not bring herself to leave with her tail between her legs. Angeline would see her as a joke.After the servants served their lunch, they moved to the dining room.Grand Old Master Ares deliberately came over for a meal as well because he was worried about Jay and Angeline’s quarrel. He wanted to see whether the young couple had made up.Seeing Chloe and Judy inside, Grand Old Master Ares’ expression turned somewhat darker.The five sat around a big round dining table while Jay and Angeline sa
Jay asked, “Isn’t it obvious?”Grand Old Master Ares could see it as clear as day. He merely wanted the couple to say it out loud. It could make the atmosphere harmonious and let Chloe understand that this young married couple’s relationship was solid as a rock. This would then put a stop to her silly intention of trying to destroy their feelings for one another. Jay said nothing in reply, and Grand Old Master Ares turned his attention to the pure-minded Angeline.Angeline smiled charmingly. “I think Jaybie went soft first.”When Chloe and Judy heard such an answer, they were both feeling displeased in their hearts.They initially thought that Jay had finally become firm and tossed Angeline’s feelings aside this time around. Then perhaps, Angeline would stop being proud and arrogant.Who would have expected that Jay had been the one begging for reconciliation again? Chloe suddenly felt that her son was somewhat a spineless coward.As soon as he heard this, Grand Old Master Ares
Jay immediately declined. “Grandpa, Zayne needs to manage the Severe family’s company. And Josephine is pregnant, so she has limited mobility. Don’t bother them for now.”He despised those two for third-wheeling all the time. Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay in confusion. “It seems like you’re not being very welcoming?”Angeline started chuckling. “Grandpa, Jaybie and Zayne don’t seem to see eye to eye. They’re always quarreling whenever they meet.”Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, “That’s good. Ask Zayne and Josie to come to visit. That way, Jay can increase his social skills.”Jay stared at his grandfather speechlessly. “I don’t need help improving my social skills.”Grand Old Master Ares said, “Is that so? I was the one who brought you up. I think I know you best.”Jay stared at the ceiling speechlessly. Even if he needed help in that area, it was a thing of the past. Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, “I thought you were autistic as a child. You were cons
Grand Old Master Ares and the husband and wife were happily teasing one another. The scene stung Chloe deeply because no matter how hard she tried to please Jay, he would always treat her indifferently.After lunch, Chloe bade farewell to Jay and left Château de Selene with Judy. On the way back to Fragrant Vessel Court, Chloe complained bitterly, “Jay’s too nice to Angeline. He peels her shrimps and even continuously puts food on her plate. It’s as if she’s being spoiled to death by him. I think he barely gives me one-tenth of the affection he gives to Angeline, and I’m his birth mother.”Judy looked baffled. “Didn’t the servant say they quarreled last night? Was all that stuff about Angeline wanting to run away from home a lie?”Chloe said, “I noticed that Angeline’s eyes were a little swollen. It’s obvious she had cried.”Judy’s sense of loss turned to delight once more. “Aunt Chloe, perhaps Brother Jay was kind to Angeline today to apologize to her?”Chloe made up a melodram
Jay smiled slyly. After playing several rounds of chess, Angeline still had not returned.Jay became uneasy and said, “Grandpa, I’ll stop playing now.”“Why? Are you worried about your wife?”Jay’s expression turned a little solemn. In front of Grand Old Master Ares, his heart was transparent and he would not hide any secrets.“Grandpa, every time Angeline returns to Tourmaline Estate, there’s always one incident happening after another. I’m worried about her safety every time she’s not by my side, even if it’s only for a single moment.”Grand Old Master Ares comforted Jay and said, “Your mother was the culprit for this. Now that she’s living under a huge spotlight, she can’t do anything to Angeline even if she doesn’t like her, right?”Jay stood up. “I’ll still go and look for her.”“Go ahead.”When Jay arrived at the back garden, he saw Angeline squatting on the ground while attentively admiring the pet rabbit’s cuteness. The little rabbit stretched out its front limbs and
However, Angeline felt very puzzled. Why was Jay having such strange thoughts today?“What did Grandpa say to you?” she asked anxiously.Jay did not want the Yorks family’s mess to affect Angeline’s mood, so he tried to make it as light-hearted as possible. “It’s nothing. We just had a light chat about Grandpa Yorks.”Angeline’s eyes widened in curiosity. Jay did not elaborate further, so she took the initiative to bring it up. “The last time I saw Grandpa Yorks, he seemed to be in an awful frame of mind. Oh dear, so many things have happened to the Yorks family. It must be a bolt from the blue for someone who wants to reunite their family like Grandpa Yorks.”Jay deliberately probed Angeline’s thoughts on Mrs. Yorks and Shirley returning to the Yorks household. He pretended to be casual about it and said, “He wants Mrs. Yorks and Shirley and her son to come home. Do you think this wish of his is possible, Angeline?”Angeline responded, “Sis Shirley has always considered being wit
The next day.Jay summoned the Ghost members, Tempest and Storm, and went to the place Cole had been lingering in… The casino.Cole was stunned when he saw Jay.“Cousin, why aren’t you home accompanying your spoiled wife and beautiful family members? Why are you here at the casino?” Cole thought that Jay had left the sickly Angeline all alone at home. Jay’s lack of protective feelings toward Angeline made him feel distressed for her.Jay was in a fit of rage. “You abandoned your wife and child in Swallow City to fool around in the casino all day yet you have the nerve to ask me that?”Cole disliked Jay’s words very much. “Shirley is not my wife. But Angeline is your wife.”Jay said, “Shirley has returned with the child to Tourmaline Estate. Grandpa asked if you’re coming home to see your wife and son. So, are you?”Cole replied, “Nope.”Jay said to Tempest and Storm, “Take him.”Cole exclaimed, “Carson!”Carson, who was busy gambling, ran over immediately. He then started fig
“That’s not necessarily the case. From what I know about your mother, she’ll either drive you crazy or kill Angeline one of these days. She won’t rest easy until she breaks the two of you up,” said Cole.Jay’s straight back was slightly stiffening up. Thinking of his mother’s constant attacks that had caused Angeline’s illness, his heart became inexplicably flustered.Since Jay was not talking, Cole gloated and asked, “What? Are you afraid now?”“What an alarmist talk,” Jay scoffed coldly.With his head resting on his arms, Cole leaned leisurely on the back of the chair. He narrowed his eyes at Jay and said in a relaxed manner, “I’m not an alarmist. If you knew how your mother drove my mother into despair one step at a time, I think you wouldn’t be underestimating your mother’s ability.”Jay’s heart tightened up. He looked at Cole suspiciously. “What does my mother have anything to do with your dad getting mistresses left and right?”Cole teased, asking, “Do you really want to kn
“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
