Baby Zetty looked at Daddy in horror. Could Daddy have seen through her careful little thoughts?She had been desperately trying to conceal her frail and dreadful ideas.It was just that Jay was sharp, so he was able to penetrate Baby Zetty’s mind in a single glance. “Are you perhaps thinking that life no longer has meaning to it?”Baby Zetty convulsed in fear.“You’re scary, Daddy.”Jay pulled Baby Zetty’s trembling hands over and said gently, “Daddy’s not scary. What’s scary is how timid your mind is.”Baby Zetty’s tears started tumbling down as she felt as if she had failed her parents.“I’m so upset, Daddy. I’m afraid that if I continue on being this sad, I’ll become a monster… I can’t even control my weight any longer.”Jay lifted Baby Zetty and placed her on his lap, saying, “You’re still light as a feather, Baby Zetty. There’s still a long, long way from you becoming any sort of monster. As long as you work harder and control your binge eating, I promise you that you’l
Jay said, “Emotions are the most lethal weapon in the world.”Baby Robbie and Jenson immediately understood Daddy’s intention. Then, Jenson said, “Don’t worry, Daddy. We’ll take good care of Zetty, and we’ll never let anything happen to her.”Jay nodded at them.Once Jay left, Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at each other. The two realized that since Baby Zetty was not by their sides at the moment, if any accidents were to occur...The two’s expressions immediately changed when they thought of this, and they went out almost as fast as a whirlwind.At the school’s rooftop.Baby Zetty was currently sitting by the edge of the roof.Many students had gathered on the ground while looking at Baby Zetty in a panic. They clamored, yelling, “Look, someone’s about to jump off the building!”The teachers and principal started yelling at her from below, “Will you please come down, Rozette Ares? What if you accidentally fall from that height?”The other daughters from the Ares family had alr
Jenson gritted his teeth and said bitterly, “Mommy gave birth to you and raised you. You haven’t even paid her back for all of that, yet you’re choosing to die. Do you want them to live every day grieving the pain of your death? How could you be so cruel to them? How could you have the heart to treat the two people who love you most in the world in this manner, Zetty?”Baby Zetty cried so severely that her whole body was trembling. She apologized with all her might, “I’m sorry. I don’t want it to be like this either.”Jensen approached her one step at a time. “Think of Mommy and Daddy, Baby Zetty. They’ve gone through so much already. They’re finally together after fighting so hard for this blissful life. How could you crush all of their happiness?”Baby Zetty had always been a filial child. Hence, she shouted at him in a stirred-up manner, “I can’t… I don’t want to be Daddy and Mommy’s source of unhappiness. I don’t wanna die anymore, Jens.”She quickly stood up, but because her
Jenson glared back at him in a gloomy manner. “What did you tell me when Baby Zetty dropped out of school back then?”Hence, Baby Robbie embarrassedly rubbed on the tip of his nose.When Baby Zetty deferred her studies some time ago, Jenson had asked him, “Why didn’t Baby Zetty come to school today?”The answer he got from Baby Robbie was, “She’s probably on her period, so she’s resting in the dormitory.”The next day, Jenson had asked him again, “Where’s Zetty?”Baby Robbie replied to him while huffing in anger, “A girl’s period doesn’t end in just a day. Even if the girls wish that were the case, their periods won’t be so kind.”When Jenson questioned him again seven days later, that was when Baby Robbie started panicking. “Jens, perhaps something bad has happened to Baby Zetty?”Jenson was so enraged that he had raised his fists, saying, “Let’s get out of here and let me throw a few good punches at you.”Baby Robbie covered his head and pleaded for mercy, “Please no, Big Bro
“Robbie, can’t you help me get my food?” Baby Zetty pitifully asked him for help.Baby Robbie reacted almost instantly and agreed to her request. “Sure thing.”Jenson could already imagine Baby Robbie, who spoiled his sister to the utmost extent, buying a portion of each type of food in the cafeteria and presenting all of them in front of Baby Zetty. This would cause fatal temptation for Baby Zetty, who was suffering from a binge eating disorder.“No way.” Jenson refused her.“Why not?” Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty asked him in unison.Jenson said, “If you eat with the other students, you’ll be more aware of your food intake and it’ll slowly help with your binge eating disorder.”Baby Robbie’s eyes lit up. “You do make a lot of sense.”However, Baby Zetty felt like she was in a difficult predicament and said, “Jens, I’m afraid...”Baby Robbie asked with concern, “What are you afraid of?”Baby Zetty lowered her head, and tears were gleaming in her eyes. “I’m afraid that the other
A female classmate even walked up to Baby Zetty and cheered her on.Baby Zetty looked at her and smiled like a blooming flower.“Thank you.”“Good luck, Baby Zetty.”On that day, Baby Zetty was deeply moved by everyone’s support. She secretly swore to herself that she had to become stronger and be worthy of so many people’s affection. In the evening, Angeline received a text message from Baby Zetty: [Thank you, Mommy. Thank you for giving birth to two of the best brothers in the world. I’d also like to thank you for adopting so many kind and lovely sisters.]Tears were welling up in Angeline’s eyes when she read this text message. It was akin to watching a desolate and barren land that spring rain had lustrated, exposing a land of flourishing prairie that was abundant with lush greenery.Angeline read the text message again and again.When Jay entered the room, he saw her holding onto the phone tightly with tear stains on her face. However, her eyes were smiling peacefully
Jay disapproved of her thoughts and said, “It’s hereditary, Angeline.”He did not think that Jenson’s sensibility was due to the lack of maternal love. Even if this were the reason, Jay would never admit to it.He did not want to place that kind of mental burden on Angeline.Angeline looked at Jay… If she were to recall Jay back when he was in his youth, he seemed to have an extraordinary sense of maturity as well.Jens and Jay had too much in common. They were both on the autistic spectrum and had the same cold temperament. They were unfriendly, yet they cherished affection and personal loyalty. Moreover, they were both wise beyond their age. She somehow believed that Jenson’s early maturity might indeed be hereditary.Suddenly, the phone rang once more.When Angeline looked at her phone, she saw a text from Baby Robbie: [Dearest birth giver, long ago, the kings dismissed hundreds of schools to adhere to one strict religion. In the present time, a hundred schools of thought co
Ultimately, Baby Robbie sent them another text. There were no words but merely a few ellipses.It was as if Angeline could hear the child’s helpless sigh as he looked up at the sky.As the more open-minded parent, Angeline tried to carefully discuss the matter with Jay. “How about we just let him try it out?”Dark clouds immediately shrouded Jay’s handsome face. His mind was currently filled with images of dirty braids, messy ponytails, and other disorderly hairstyles...Angeline knitted her eyebrows and sighed. “We’re both very serious people. Where on earth did the kid develop such alternative thoughts?”Jay said, “Perhaps it’s because he often disguised himself in the military intelligence division and lost hold of his true self.”Angeline looked at the long row of ellipses sent by Baby Robbie. Then, she said to Jay, “I’ve made up my mind, Jaybie. Even though Baby Robbie is our child, he’s still an independent individual after all. We can’t blindly oppose his preferences. It’s
“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
