"Add more spice in it." Jay reminded her on purpose.Rose stared blankly at him. In just two days, this man had eaten an extra meal, consumed alcohol, and was now asking for added spice. He was completely breaking his conventional diet habits. Was he only going to stop after he triggered his digestive disorders?Rose did not retort, though she deliberately bought him chicken soup when she went out to buy his meal.Jay stared at the bland chicken soup before examining Rose with an obscure and unfathomable gaze."You can’t be so poor that you can only afford chicken soup, right?" Jay mocked her.Rose explained in a hurry. "There are too many patients. There was only chicken soup left for breakfast today. Just try and put up with it."This hospital was very near to Grand Asia Hospital, hence most patients nearby would choose Grand Asia Hospital that was equipped with better and more extensive infrastructure. For that reason, business in this hospital had been immensely sluggish. Nee
"Please come inside, Mr. Ares." Old Master Loyle greeted their distinguished guest politely.Jay walked in a calm and composed manner into the Loyle residence’s living room as if entering the doorstep of his own house.Grayson brought him a chair and wiped the seat several times with a tissue. It was only then did Jay take a seat."To what do we owe this honor of your presence, Mr. Ares?” Old Master Loyle asked carefully."Old Master Loyle, do answer my question honestly if you don't want Loyle Enterprise to go bankrupt. If I’m satisfied with your answer, then I’ll consider giving the Loyle family a way out," Jay said faintly.Overwhelmed by the favor, Old Master Loyle said, "I’ll tell you all I know without holding back and answer all of your questions, Mr. Ares.""I want every information about Rose from birth up until now. Tell me everything you know." Jay stressed the word ‘everything’ in particular.Old Master Loyle was taken by surprise. "Every information about Rose?"Sy
Jay became attentive, staring at Madam Loyle with keen eagle eyes. "Which part in particular was strange?"Madam Loyle recalled the scene of the accident seven years ago very seriously. She was looking more and more uneasy."I have no idea how Angeline and Rose ended up together in that car accident. The two lay on the grass together. Angeline died tragically, whereas Rose was shielded in Angeline’s arms. Although her body wasn’t dismembered or mutilated nor looked as gruesome as Angeline’s, she was no longer breathing after the fall."When we rushed to the scene of the car accident, even the doctor had pronounced Rose dead. Who would’ve thought that after she was placed in the morgue for a day and night, she suddenly came back to life?! We were so terrified because we thought that we had seen a ghost!Old Master Loyle continued, "Now that you mentioned it, after that car accident, Rose seemed to have changed for some strange reasons. She no longer asked the Loyles for money and ev
Then upon hearing Grayson's theory of transmigration, his heart could not contain the hope and ecstasy radiating from his very being at this moment.‘Is that really the case?‘Did you really return, Angeline?’As soon as Grayson parked the Rolls-Royce at the villa's entrance parking lot, Jay pushed the door open eagerly without even bidding farewell to Grayson and hurried toward the villa entrance.Grayson looked at the somewhat abnormal Mr. Ares and shook his head helplessly. No matter what it was, Mr. Ares would lose control as long as the matter had something to do with Angeline.Grayson was already used to it.Jay pushed the door in. The spacious house was quiet and peaceful.Jay closed the door behind him, leaned his back against the anti-theft door, and took a quick hard breath. When he had soothed his surging emotions, he finally lifted his foot to walk up to the second floor.Standing at the corner of the stairs, Jay cast his eyes over Rose's room. Slowly and solemnly,
Rose protested. "Sir Ares, I spent only 2,000 bucks for your hospitalization fee. Why did you give me 200,000 bucks?"Rose grabbed the phone and was about to return the money to him, but Jay's broad hand pressed onto hers…When his broad hand was placed over her tiny hand, his touch that Rose felt on her skin had her pulling away nervously. Her earlobes flushed crimson at once.As Jay stared at the bashful Rose, a trace of smile emanated from his eyes."It’s for your living expenses." He explained.Rose's eyes widened. "For a year? That’s too much, don’t you think?"Jay corrected her. "For a month!"Rose, “...”"Are we supposed to eat caviar and oysters all day? Sir Ares, you may not be afraid of having indigestion, but the children will be too full from having too much to eat and end up with digestion problems." Rose looked at Jay with a concerned expression.Jay’s head hurt. Could she not tell that he was trying to lessen her burden in another way? This lass’ brain glitch re
When they arrived at the kindergarten, the teacher asked other parents to bring their children home first. Hence, Jay and Rose could only stand on one side and wait.Jay was forced to go through an attention ceremony by the students’ parents. He wore an extremely sullen look on his face. He pulled a long face as he stood very still on one side.Rose was guilt-ridden now.Jay had always been the prodigy that others would wait for since he was a child. To have him wait for others today was probably a volcano eruption waiting to happen, right?"Sir Ares, perhaps you can head back first. I’ll stay here and wait..." Rose suggested guiltily.She had disciplined the two little devils when they did something wrong yesterday. Today, it seemed that her discipline methods had produced very little results.The homeroom teacher suddenly butted in and said, “Please stay, Mr. Ares. I’d like to have a word with you about the issues of the children’s education."Jay nodded.Rose's head dropped
Rose dropped her head. The children were clearly the ones who had done something wrong, yet why was she the one getting admonished instead?"I was wrong, Sir Ares," she replied feebly in a perfunctory manner.A trace of an inexplicable smile emerged in Jay's long and narrow eyes. He recalled the look on young Angeline's face when she was being admonished. Just like how Rose was acting now, she would hang her head and look as though it was the end of the world. She would listen in fear and trepidation as he reprimanded her.Jay shifted his gaze to the munchkins and reprimanded sternly. "We’ll go home right now."Baby Robbie and Jens followed behind Daddy like two walking zombies, sighing dejectedly.Rose held the hand of the tearful Baby Zetty and followed behind him restlessly.When they got home, Jay sat loftily on the couch. He crossed his long slender legs as he stared at the three munchkins standing in front of him with a dark countenance.Rose stood next to them, looking li
Baby Zetty burst into tears as she threw herself in Mommy's arms and wailed sadly."Mommy, my classmates said that I only have a poor mother and no rich father."Baby Zetty sniffed sadly as she choked with sobs. "The teacher said in class that this is called having the same mother but different fathers.""In order to stick up for me, Robbie scolded the group of children who laughed at me while Jenson argued with the teacher because of me.""It’s all my fault, Mommy. Robbie and Jens were scolded because of me. I’m not a good child."Rose felt as though she was pricked by needles after hearing what she said.Her biological father was clearly living under the same roof as her, but the sense of alienation he displayed in front of Baby Zetty had broken the child’s fragile heart over and over again. As a result, Baby Zetty was deeply affected when other students laughed at her for not having a father. That was why she was crying so sadly.Suddenly, she took Baby Zetty's hand and walke
“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
