Finn said, “We can sign a contract. You can clean my bathroom, feed my pets, and cook for me when I’m home. I’ll pay you 10,000 bucks a month.”Tammy’s jaw dropped. 10,000 bucks a month?Holy moly, this was a good deal that even not many of her seniors could get.Tammy quickly snapped back to reality and closed her gaping mouth. She darted Finn a sidelong glance. “I don’t believe you.”Finn stretched out his hand. "Give me your phone."Tammy handed him her mobile phone, and Finn transferred 60,000 bucks to her account immediatelyTammy looked at the amount on her phone, repeatedly checking the number of zeros before looking at Finn in astonishment.“Do you want to do it or not?”“Yes.” Tammy nodded.At this moment, the doorbell rang.Finn ordered Tammy, "Go get the door."Tammy staggered over to open the door. Standing outside the door was a fine-looking yet cold and elegant man dressed in a smart suit.“I’m here to see Finn," Tempest said.There was a polite smile on his
Tempest raged, yelling, “You could always wait for Baby Zetty if you liked her, just like how Sir Ares had waited for Madam to grow up back then.”Finn exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, “Foster Father is only six years older than Madam. I’m 12 years older than Baby Zetty. She’s just like a little baby to me. I can never regard her as my life partner.”Tempest pointed at the door. “Tammy, the girl outside the door, is just a kid too, isn’t she?”"She’s an adult, at least," Finn said.Tempest stood up. “I understand now. You like Tammy, not Baby Zetty, right?"Finn fell silent.Tempest walked toward the door, and when he got there, he suddenly turned back to say, “I think you ought to know that Baby Zetty is sick.”A flash of panic emerged on Finn’s good-looking face. Concern was written all over his face. “What illness is it? Is it serious?"Tempest replied, “Binge eating disorder.”Finn's eyes were filled with confusion. “Why does she suddenly have a binge eating disorder? S
Storm said, “You know better than anyone how much Baby Zetty likes you. How could you go out on a date with someone else in front of her? Don’t you feel sorry for Sir Ares and Madam at all?”Finn recalled the day he went shopping with Tammy at the mall. He had vaguely sensed Baby Zetty’s presence, but he did not see her when he looked around.Was Baby Zetty actually around when he flirted with Tammy that day?Finn was engulfed in self-blame. He pulled at his hair in agony and said with a guilty conscience, “I didn’t mean to hurt Baby Zetty. She’s just a kid to me. Besides, I’m not that young anymore and I, too, long to find someone I love. I want to have a family of my own and enjoy the warmth of my own family just like Foster Father.”Finn’s honesty touched Grayson and Storm’s hearts.They were all orphans who had been abandoned by their parents since childhood. Although Jay had adopted them, they were still haunted by the shadows of being abandoned.It was because of that Grays
Tammy was generous enough to share the story of her first love with him, saying, “I once had a crush on a boy who felt the same way for me, but we were both too young and our parents were strongly against us dating each other. As a result, my parents locked me in the house and I spent my days crying—even to the point where I tried to end my life…”Tammy raised her wrist and revealed a scar, saying, “Look, I almost killed myself once. But I regretted it as soon as the knife sliced through and blood gushed out of the wound. All of a sudden, death seemed scarier than heartbreaks.“After that day, my parents released me, and I went to that boy’s house only to find him kissing another girl. I thought my world was falling apart at the time.“I cried the entire way home and cried secretly for half a month without my parents knowing. I eventually learned that scumbags like that don’t deserve my tears.”Tammy shrugged, looking carefree and breezy as though she was telling someone else’s sto
When Angeline noticed the sharp increase in her daughter’s weight, making her turn from a white swan to an ugly duckling, she could roughly guess what was troubling Baby Zetty.She walked over and pulled Baby Zetty into her arms gently.“Mommy.” Baby Zetty cried her heart out in her arms. “They all laughed at me and called me a beast! I don’t want to go to school anymore."Angeline’s tears rained down her face.She gently patted Baby Zetty's back and felt the child quivering. She could tell how helpless her daughter was feeling.“Okay, if you don’t want to go to school, then you don’t have to.” Education might be important to Angeline, but it was nothing compared to safeguarding her child’s dignity.Baby Zetty said, “Daddy won’t agree to it.”Angeline said, “I'll talk to him.”Baby Zetty complained in distress, “I don’t want to be like this either, Mommy, but I can’t stop myself from eating all the time or I'll be very, very unhappy.”Tears welled up in Angeline’s ethereal-loo
Jay guessed the answer immediately. “Was that a call from the madam?”Tempest nodded awkwardly, saying, “Sir Ares, Madam wants me to keep this a secret.”Jay looked startled. Angeline would rather share something with Tempest than tell him straight what the matter was? This left him feeling extremely downcast.“What did she say?" he asked with a dark expression.Tempest’s lips moved and he was about to say something when Jay suddenly waved at him. He said, “Forget it. Just go.”Tempest still decided to spill the beans in the end. “Madam wants me to go to Horizon Colors, the second floor of Building 5.”Jay was surprised.He had a property in Horizon Colors, so why did Angeline choose to rent the property next door?In the end, Tempest and Jay, who felt restless, came to Horizon Colors together.When Tempest entered Horizon Colors, Jay sat in the car and lit up a cigar gloomily.Soon, Angeline came out and walked straight to the Rolls-Royce. She aggressively yanked the car doo
Angeline was aware of this truth but unlike Jay, Angeline was not that principled. Angeline loved fantasizing and was filled with longing.“What if Finn falls in love with Baby Zetty one day?”“I watched Finn grow up, Angeline. Unlike Tempest and Storm, his character isn’t that easy to predict. Finn is rebellious to his core and has dreams and pursuits of his own. He has a different vision when it comes to love.“He dated once in college, hoping to start a family of his own as soon as possible and take pleasure in the comfort that a family could bring him… The age gap between him and Baby Zetty is just too huge. That introduces too many variables in their relationship. I want to protect my daughter, but I need to support Finn’s dream too.”Angeline stopped crying. “What about Baby Zetty?”Jay replied, “We may be devastated by Baby Zetty’s current predicament, but she’s the Ares family’s child, and the child of the Ares family has no right to remain a hothouse flower. Under the rav
After Baby Zetty dropped out of school, days seemed to drag on for Angeline.Jay looked at the cheerless Angeline and felt extremely heavy-hearted as well.He wished more than anyone for Baby Zetty to feel better, but what Baby Zetty had was a broken heart. To cure her broken heart, she needed to go back to the source, and that source was Finn.Jay would never bring himself to destroy Finn’s love in favor of his daughter.Angeline sat on the couch and stared grumpily at him. “Even if you refuse to separate Finn and Tammy, you should at least tell Finn the truth about Baby Zetty’s illness. Who knows, maybe Finn would be moved by Baby Zetty’s infatuation?” Jay said helplessly, “Angeline, Baby Zetty doesn’t need Finn’s pity.”Angeline and Jay had vastly different approaches when it came to handling Baby Zetty’s affair. Angeline was concerned only about her child’s wellbeing and was willing to try anything that could help her child.She had lost her sanity and was on the verge of b
“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
