Boye sighed. “Stop looking, child. They’re not coming anymore. They don’t want to make you even gloomier than you already are.”Baby Zetty nodded, accepting her fate. When she entered the boarding gate, she heard an anxious voice letting out an ear-piercing roar. It was as though a lion had awakened from a deep slumber that had lasted for thousands of years.“Baby Zetty!”Baby Zetty turned around and saw Brother Finn holding his coat. He was clad in a plain and clean T-shirt, searching everywhere for her.When Finn finally located Baby Zetty from the crowd, he stood rooted to the same spot as though he had been struck by an electric current. He stared at Baby Zetty who had a tearful face.“Don’t cry, Zetty.” Finn’s charming face was contorted out of grief.There was a huge distance between them, and the hubbub in the airport made it hard for Baby Zetty to hear what Finn was saying,This was the first time Finn so vividly sensed Baby Zetty’s pain—the pain he had inflicted upon
Tammy flew into a rage. “Are you crazy? This is your wedding. Why are you letting Baby Zetty make the decisions for you? Has it never crossed your mind how unfair this is to me?”Finn said, “You probably don’t know this, but Baby Zetty saved my life. My life was hanging by a thread back then from getting injured by the Yorks at Yorks Stronghold. I thought I would die right then and there, but Baby Zetty carried me to the hospital with her tiny and delicate frame.“I’m an orphan and have no siblings, but my foster father treats me as his own while Baby Zetty treats me with all her heart. For so many years, I’ve treated them as my closest and most reliable family members. I can let anyone down but not the Areses.”Finn sounded extremely firm and sonorous, his words carrying a crushing force.Tammy was slightly startled, suddenly realizing how foolish it was of her to compete with the Areses for his favor.“If Baby Zetty says that you’re not allowed to marry me, are you going to give
Baby Robbie turned around only to realize that Jens had lied to him.Baby Robbie let out a sharp smile. “How am I a hypocrite?”Jens approached Baby Robbie and interrogated him, “Deep down inside, you hate Chloe too, don’t you?”Baby Robbie, “...”Jens crossed his arms and scrutinized the docile and harmless Baby Robbie, saying, “You’re eager to strike her 1,000 times but are all smiles on the surface. You’re a really cunning fox, aren’t you? Even I was nearly fooled.”Baby Robbie said humbly, “I can’t fool you, after all.”Jenson analyzed it and said, “You conceal your identity and pretend to be a nice person so others won’t be vigilant around you.”Jenson suddenly yanked Baby Robbie by the collar and lifted him. “I’m suddenly really curious about the true character of my little brother.”Baby Robbie answered, “Cold-blooded, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. Would you believe it?”Jenson looked at the hint of calmness that flashed across Baby Robbie’s face and nodded. “I would.”B
In no time at all, Carson brought Faith to Jenson and Baby Robbie.Faith was an 18 or 19-year-old young girl. She was wearing a servant uniform provided by the Areses, and her eyes twinkled. She looked slightly timid.“Young masters, I’m Faith Sue. How can I help you?” There was a hint of a frightful tremor in Faith’s soft voice.Jenson moved his mouth closer to Baby Robbie and whispered, “You’re cultivating your charm techniques, aren’t you? Go on, then. Let’s see how far you’ve progressed.”Baby Robbie, “...”Baby Robbie rolled his eyes at him. “You can be honest with me if you want to laze off, why bother giving so many excuses? I know you hate talking to strangers. Don’t worry, I’ll do it. I love to talk.”Baby Robbie fixed his sitting posture and asked Faith several questions that seemed completely unrelated to the case. “Sis Sue, you look really beautiful… How old are you?”Cole nearly spat out his tea.Was this kid here to investigate or to find a girlfriend?“19,” Fait
Baby Robbie, “...”Carson was immensely impressed by Baby Robbie. “Not bad. You’re really good. It’s better than how we interrogate our prisoners. What we’re doing is cruel torture, and we often take turns to do it. When we’re done interrogating the prisoners, we would be worn out ourselves.”Cole glared at Carson. “What do you mean by that? Are you saying that my techniques are terrible?”Carson let out a wry smile and said against his conscience, “Ours aren’t so bad either. Simple and rough.”Jenson stood up and swaggered away. Baby Robbie patted Carson’s head. “Learn.” Then, he went off to chase after Jenson.Cole looked dazedly at Baby Robbie and stroked his chin. “He has proven himself worthy to be the heir whom Grand Old Master Yorks selected.”When Jenson and Baby Robbie walked out the front door, Baby Robbie pulled Jenson back and pointed at the Refreshing Breeze signboard above their heads.Jenson remembered that he had not done something yet and walked back to Cole.
When Jenson and Baby Robbie returned to Château de Selene, they came straight to Jay’s room.“Any results?” Jay glanced at Jens and Baby Robbie, asking nonchalantly. He was currently printing some notes about pregnancy.Jenson replied, “Daddy, Madam Nephele from the second family ordered the female servant, Faith Sue, to drug Chloe.”Baby Robbie stole a glance at Jay anxiously. How could Jenson call Chloe by her name in front of Daddy? Was he not afraid that Daddy would get mad?Sure enough, Jay’s dashing face darkened. He corrected Jenson sternly, saying, “I don’t care what you have against your grandmother, but you should at least call her ‘Grandma’ in front of me.”Jenson answered reluctantly, “Okay.”Baby Robbie thought to himself that he should probably teach Jenson how to speak according to the situation next time so he would not have a conflict with Daddy.Jay looked pensive, saying, “Why would Madam Nephele use your grandma instead of asking Faith to do it? Have you thou
Therefore, Baby Robbie could tell how furious his mother was with just one look at her face. Of course, Baby Robbie had experiences of his own with handling Angeline’s anger. Regardless of what sparked Mommy’s anger, he should admit his mistakes first.Angeline was so furious she almost wanted to laugh. “Do you know what you did wrong?”Baby Robbie was stunned. “I’m a slow-witted boy… Could you please remind me, Mommy?”“You didn’t do anything wrong. Stand up.” Angeline reached out to pull him.Baby Robbie was too afraid to stand up.“Stay there, then.”Angeline cast a stern glance at Jenson. Jenson was self-aware, hence he got down on his knees right next to Baby Robbie. His back was straight, while his cold and dashing face was filled with unswerving determination.“Do you know what you did wrong yet, Jens?”“Yes.”“Let’s hear it.”“I shouldn’t have called Grandma by her name,” Jenson replied.Angeline said, “Since you know you shouldn’t call Grandma by her name, why did y
Angeline sighed. “To be honest with you, I hate her more than you do. From the first time she hurt me, the hatred I had for her had been buried deep within me. Every time she hurt me, the seed of hatred that I had planted in me was watered and fertilized, making my hatred grow stronger and stronger.“Ultimately, all the hatred in me grew into a gigantic tree, seeping into every fiber and flesh of my being. To unearth such hatred is the same as crushing my body into pieces. How agonizing would that be?”Jay looked at Angeline in astonishment. He was surprised to learn that the pain Chloe caused Angeline had been etched into her bones and heart to such a terrifying extent.Jenson and Baby Robbie were even more puzzled now.“Mommy, if you hate her so much, why did you forgive her?” Jenson asked.Angeline laughed bitterly. “Forgive her? I would probably never forgive her. The pain she has caused me is impossible to forget. My heart would hurt every time I cast my mind back to the time
“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
