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
Rose put her hand on her heart. Every child was a parent’s treasure. Any parent would feel heartbroken to see their child getting beaten up. She had told Robbie that little b*stard many times before, asking him not to bully the weak just because he was strong. He actually stepped out of line this time?When the homeroom teacher was done talking, she did not criticize Rose but merely said to Rose in an extremely stern manner, "Ms. Loyle, I hope you can face your children’s problems squarely and work with us to improve their shortcomings.""I will," Rose replied.The homeroom teacher left with a smile. Rose looked at the two children whose tiny heads were dropped so low that they were about to be buried into the ground. There was also the extremely worried-looking Baby Zetty."Raise your heads!" Rose stretched out her hands, lifting one chin in each hand.She then squeezed out a magnanimous smile at Jenson and Baby Robbie. "Let’s go home first."Jenson looked at his tender-looking
"A distinction should be made between males and females, Mommy. Please stop spanking my little butt. Other people will laugh at me if this gets out." Baby Robbie scurried to the opposite end of the long dining table. He ran in circles to avoid Mommy whilst trying to convince her at the same time.After running a few laps, Rose was too tired to go on. She put her hands on her hips, huffing and puffing. "You brat. You’ve grown up now, haven’t you? You’ve learned that a distinction should be made between males and females now, huh? Sure, I'll save your dignity and won’t grab your butt… I don’t believe that I can’t fix you even if I can’t lay a finger on you. I must find a rod to teach you a lesson..."Rose began searching for sticks and the like in the house. Being a clever devil, Baby Robbie burst out crying trying to gain Mommy’s sympathy.When Jenson saw Baby Robbie bawling his eyes out in an extremely devastating manner, his little heart began pounding hard. At this moment, Baby Ze
"Who taught you the saying about cabbage getting eaten and ruined by pigs?""Aunt Josephine."Rose, "..." It seemed like she and Josephine needed to have a talk.Her gaze shifted to the uneasy-looking Jenson. "What about you, Jens? Why did you say such rude words like mentally retarded to the teacher?"Jenson bit his lip and remained silent.Rose treated her sons differently. Ever since Baby Robbie started practicing Taekwondo, he had gone through countless arduous training and now had skin as solid as a bear’s. She would hit him a few times and it would only feel like she was tickling him.On the other hand, Jens grew up in the Ares family with his needs attended to very carefully. Coupled with his mild autism, Rose was exceptionally gentle toward him."Jens, Mommy won’t beat you or scold you. Mommy just wants to know why you said those ill-mannered words. Mommy can only help you to correct your mistakes and make you an even more outstanding and likable child if you tell Mommy
