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
“I can’t cancel it.”“Then just pretend that we’ve been there,” Angeline replied.Jay, “...”When one plot failed, one cooked up another.Jay looked at Josephine’s belly and said, “Josephine is about to give birth soon. Do you think you can make it back in time if you join the cast?”Angeline did not say a word, and Zayne retorted to Jay immediately.“You don’t want my sister to go out and work, do you? Selfish. You’re so selfish. You’re managing Grand Asia so well yourself but raised my sister in captivity, turning her into your private property…”Jay glared at Zayne with gloomy eyes. “Fools talk, cowards are silent, wise men listen.”Josephine chuckled. “Zayne, my brother isn’t stopping Sis Angeline from going to work. He just doesn’t want her to act with other men.”Josephine consoled Jay, saying, “Don’t worry, Brother. This is Angeline’s first time acting, so the director will just give her a small role. She won’t have scenes that involve emotional acting.”Jay was reliev
