It was getting somewhat late, so Angeline and the children merely conversed for a while more before she told the children to head to bed earlier.Baby Zetty returned to her room and tore off the mask she had put on all day, letting all of her tears flow down.Brother Finn and Sis Tammy were getting married, and the last bit of hope inside Baby Zetty’s heart had completely shattered.She knew that once Brother Finn and Sis Tammy got married, there would be zero possibility for her and Finn.There was a sudden knock on the door, and Baby Zetty wiped off her tears in a panic.Angeline entered the room and saw the moment when Baby Zetty was frantically controlling her sobs in a hurry. Her body immediately stiffened by the door.“What’s the matter, Zetty?”Could it be that Jenson and Baby Robbie had only been reporting nothing but pleasant news yet were sweeping the bad news under the carpet?Zetty obviously had gotten a lot thinner now, and she was smiling more frequently as well.
If they were not getting married, then why was Tammy choosing a wedding dress?Angeline could only think of two possibilities for this. Firstly, since Tammy could not have a wedding, she felt at a loss and wanted to try on some wedding dresses alone to experience the joy of being a bride.If that were the case, then it would be such a tragic case for her.However, there was the other possibility that Tammy had deliberately tried on wedding dresses in front of Baby Zetty to reveal the news of her marriage to Finn.If this was indeed the case, then this woman might seem silly and sweet, but in reality, she was a shrewd and cunning woman. Of course, to accomplish such a task, she would have to ask around for Baby Zetty’s whereabouts and familiarize herself with the routes she took after school…Angeline was a good-natured person, so she refused to believe that Finn’s taste would be that bad. As such, she convinced herself that Tammy was a nice girl.She should not be suspicious of h
Angeline indignantly retorted, “You’re trying to justify Tammy Sue’s actions.”“I’m not.” Jay did not know whether to laugh or cry.“You’re trying to shove false information down my throat.”Jay, “...”Angeline said in a huff, “I’m sleeping with Baby Zetty tonight.”Then, she pushed him away and got out of the bed to walk out.Jay’s long legs landed on the ground, and he caught up with Angeline in just a few steps. He quickly hugged Angeline tightly into his embrace and apologized in a low voice, “Don’t be angry, okay? I’m not excusing Tammy’s behavior, but I merely think that as parents, we shouldn’t be meddling with the children’s affairs.”Angeline was protective of them, so hearing Jay’s words, not only did her anger remain, but he even made it worse.She snarled at him. “What are you trying to say? Are you saying I’m meddling too much?”Then, she jabbed Jay’s chest in a rage while scoffing. “I didn’t say anything about your lack of care toward our children, yet you mind t
Jay said to her with great gratitude, “Thank you, Angeline. Thank you for coming back. Otherwise, I can’t begin to imagine how many stupid things I would’ve done in my lifetime.”Angeline turned around and hugged him tightly.“I won’t ever leave you again, Jaybie.”Jay nodded gently. “Yeah, I know. I know that you won’t leave me.”Angeline was even more melancholic when she said, “Even a strong-willed person like you has done so many preposterous and foolish things for a love that you couldn’t obtain, let alone our darling Baby Zetty.”Jay said, “Just wait, Angeline. A few years later, our Baby Zetty will break out of her cocoon and become a butterfly. She’ll soon be reborn.”Angeline aggrievedly looked at him. Sometimes, she honestly wondered where Jay’s confidence came from that he was so determined about Baby Zetty being able to find herself again instead of losing herself completely.Jay continued, “She’s our daughter. You have to have faith in her.”Angeline could only sig
He was going as far as to harm their children and grandchildren.“Jens, the Ares family is charitable. Even if someone plotted something against the Areses, at best, we should deal with them following the principle of an eye for an eye. Taking revenge on their entire family is too cruel.”Jenson stared at Jacob coldly and said, “Grandpa Jacob, don’t you know that if you don’t pluck the weed from its root, it’ll certainly grow back?”After saying his piece, Jenson decided to take his leave.Jacob panicked and immediately staggered forward. He pleaded with him anxiously, “Jens, if anything unfortunate were to happen to the other branches tonight, do you think you can attend the Ares family’s inheritance ceremony tomorrow in a calm and composed manner? I’m telling you, if you don’t save them today, your morality and conduct will be tainted. You won’t be able to convince the masses with your words once you’re the person in charge of the Ares family.”Jenson stopped and turned his head
James looked at Jenson with a horrified look, and his eyes were filled with questions and doubts. Jacob was already severely distressed, and he was about to lose his voice from shouting. “How did this happen?!”It was evident for Jacob and James at this moment that Jenson had instigated their men to turn on them. It was just that they felt exceptionally startled by the turn of events. How did Jenson do it? When did he gain the opportunity to instigate their unswerving assassins in such a short period?They started to think that Jenson was genuinely terrifying.At this moment, Baby Robbie and the military intelligence division sisters arrived at the scene.Baby Robbie shouted before he even approached them, “Get them!”The arrival of Baby Robbie made James and Jacob feel a little cautious. They were afraid of Baby Robbie catching the assassins as they were likely to confess under torture or temptations of fame and fortune. Hence, they wanted the assassins to quickly escape.As f
James shuddered at the thought and said, “It’s too terrifying. His method of attack is practically invisible.”Jacob said, “That means there’s a traitor among our men, so we can’t send them out to get things done for us for the time being. It seems like we’ll have to watch as he struts around with his new power.”James could feel a chill running down his spine. “Why do I start to feel like Jens is much more frightening than Jay?”Jacob replied, “I guess the situation with tomorrow’s inheritance ceremony has been determined.”When Jenson returned to Château de Selene, Jay was sitting on the sofa near the lobby. He was wearing comfy black clothes but still looked as grand as a king.Jenson saw Daddy and whispered to the others, “Guys, head back to your rooms and get some sleep. I’ll explain things to Daddy.”Baby Robbie was most afraid of getting into trouble, so he hurriedly patted Jenson on the shoulder and comfortingly said, “Good luck.” Then, he quickly slipped away.Jenson wa
Jenson said again in a sleepy voice, “Mommy, can you help me choose a shirt from the closet?”Angeline was slightly stunned… However, a gentle smile soon overflowed from the corners of her eyes.She always had the illusion that Jens was old and wise, as though he was already a fully grown adult. As such, she did not expect that Jens would have such a side that still depended on his parents.Angeline walked toward the closet and chose a pale white shirt with a twill tie.Then, she returned to the bedside and helped Jenson with his shirt and tie. Jens smiled very contentedly at her, saying, “You’re the best, Mommy.”Angeline smiled at him and replied, “You’ll be in charge of the Ares family’s affairs from now on, Jens. You’re going to become a mini-adult.”Jens suddenly hugged Angeline and said emotionally, “I may not have so much time to care about you in the future, Mommy. Promise me you’ll take care of yourself. Don’t let anyone bully you again, or Daddy and I will feel distress
