Madam Nephele looked at Jenson in disbelief. “Weren’t you hypnotized by me?”Jenson replied, “You used the same old trick. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, you get the gist.”Madam Nephele grinned at him, saying, “You truly are extraordinarily wise. It’s a pity that your time is up.”She suddenly took out the wooden flute again and began playing a tune. A couple of thin and black young snakes crawled out of her neckline and sleeves not long after.Jenson, who was a neat freak, merely thought that these young snakes were gross, so he jumped a couple of steps back.Baby Robbie came out of the bedroom while drooping his head. He muttered to himself listlessly, “Strange. I clearly placed it in the drawer, why is it gone?”When he looked up, he saw a bunch of tiny snakes crawling out of Madam Nephele’s clothes. Baby Robbie hurried over and pulled Jenson, who was filled with nothing but disgust, behind him.“You have to be careful, Robbie,” said Jenson in a concerned t
Madam Nephele was already having a tough time fighting all of them at once, but now she was being besieged by the enraged Ares sisters. Vigorous punches and kicks landed on her face and body. She was quickly bruised and became bloody all over. Her aged yet charming face was currently as swollen as a pig’s head.Ultimately, she lay lifelessly on the ground while wailing in anguish, “Stop! Stop! I concede!”Baby Robbie leaped down from the window sill and walked toward Madam Nephele. His bright and beautiful pupils were filled with frost, and as if it happened inadvertently, he slammed his foot down on Madam Nephele’s hand. He asked, “Why are you trying to harm my mommy?”Madam Nephele seemed to be on her last breath as she said, “I have my own diplomatic mission.”“What mission?”“I’ll never tell you.” Madam Nephele would rather die than yield.The sisters very rarely saw such a furious Baby Robbie. Yet, at this moment, they had a flash of realization as to why Baby Robbie had del
However, Madam Nephele exerted all her strength and hit her neck, making her lose consciousness instantly.Jenson glared at Baby Robbie angrily.Baby Robbie said to him aggrievedly, “She was the one who made herself faint. I didn’t trample on her, so why are you pinning it on me?”Sis Andy said, “Jens is not blaming you for trampling on her. He’s blaming you for failing to keep your mouth shut.”Baby Robbie smacked his mouth while mumbling aggrievedly, “Well, if I didn’t bring it up, Jens wouldn’t have thought of hypnotizing her.”Jens said, “I was just about to—“Baby Robbie was dumbstruck. “Alright, it’s my fault for blabbering.”Since Madam Nephele had lost consciousness, the interrogation came to a halt.In order to atone for his crimes, Baby Robbie suggested, “Why don’t we carry her into my room? So that she wouldn’t be such a sore sight. Once she wakes up, you can try hypnotizing her again.”Jenson looked at the heavily wounded Madam Nephele and said, “If we don’t treat
After the sisters left, Jenson stood quietly by the window. His eyes were fixed on the pool of blood left on the grass.Baby Robbie touched his grumbling tummy and felt rather helpless. Then, he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.After Baby Robbie was done with the pasta, he stepped out and saw that Jenson had moved to sit on the sofa. There were a few treasures placed on the coffee table that Baby Robbie had stolen from Madam Nephele.Jenson’s peach blossom eyes that were cold since the beginning had turned icier at this moment. “Baby Robbie, Madam Nephele said that she sneaked into our house to look for something that belonged to her. But she didn’t manage to find it.”Jenson raised his gaze, and his pupils were filled with radiance as he asked, “Do you know why?”Although Baby Robbie was intelligent, his cleverness was something he never had an opportunity to display because of Jenson. As such, he had developed a bad habit of being too lazy to rack his brains whenever he was
Jenson said, “That’s what I’m hoping for.”Finn, who was hurrying in from the main door, was instantly dumbfounded upon hearing Jens and Baby Robbie’s conversation.He had thought that Baby Zetty only left with Boye to travel and relax. Perhaps she would even be back in a month or two.Now, he had found out that Zetty might not be able to return for seven to eight years.Seven to eight whole years!At that time, Baby Zetty would be 22 years old, while he would have entered his middle age. Finn merely felt an inexplicable sense of loss rushing into his whole body.It felt as if the treasure that belonged to him had turned into a bubble and floated away.Finn turned around and left in despair.He continuously asked himself as he walked away, ‘Why am I so upset?’Since he merely regarded Baby Zetty as his sister, he should be happy that she would have such a bright future ahead of her.What was he unhappy about?What reason could it be?He strenuously racked his brain to searc
However, Finn’s following words had Tammy Sue crashing to the ground.“Since you’re no longer my maid, Tammy, I think we should live separately for the time being. Having you live with me before marriage was irresponsible of me because I don’t know when I’ll be able to marry you…”All color was drained from Tammy’s face. Going out of control, she snarled. “Why are you treating me like this? You said that when Baby Zetty comes back, you’ll have a good talk with her so that she’ll happily give her blessing for our marriage. So why are you going back on your word?”Finn was filled with self-blame when he said, “I’m truly sorry. At that time, I really thought that Zetty would be back very soon. But today, I heard from Jenson that Baby Zetty might not return for the next seven to eight years. I think my promise to Zetty is unfair to you, so I’m giving you a chance to choose again.”Tammy was stunned as she muttered, “Seven to eight years?”Finn said, “Perhaps even longer. So if you wan
Finn was ashamed. “No… You’ve misunderstood,” Finn refuted. However, his denial this time was no longer as powerful and resonating as before.Finn felt as if there were currently two souls inside his body. One soul desperately wanted to break free from the shackles and run toward Baby Zetty, but the other was pulling onto the other with all its might.Finn felt that his thoughts were getting difficult to bear.Seeing that he was not making extra efforts to urge her to stay, Tammy left while sobbing.Finn suddenly felt that he had messed up his life by not urging her to stay. He needed to ponder things through properly and recognize his true feelings to make the correct decision. This way, he would not end up hurting the people closest to him.After some time, Finn tried to lift his spirits. He was currently Jenson’s right-hand man and assistant. When Jenson was facing a risky situation, he should not allow himself to have his guard lowered. He needed to protect Jens well to pr
Angeline foolishly chuckled as well.Jay was the person who came to Angeline’s rescue, saying, “I feed her three times a day and wait upon her so gently and cautiously. She’d be letting me down if she didn’t gain any weight.”At this moment, Third Aunt questioned her, “It doesn’t look like weight gain to me. It looks more like Angeline is pregnant.”That single sentence stunned everyone in the room.All of the elders echoed joyously, “Is Angeline pregnant?”Grand Old Master Ares was grinning from ear to ear with happiness. “Hahaha! I’m getting another great-grandchild. You’re doing another meritorious service for the Ares family! So tell me, what kind of reward would you like?”Angeline smiled while declining. “There’s no need. Jaybie has already rewarded me well.”Grand Old Master Ares was extremely curious. “What did he give you?”Angeline smiled happily and contentedly while saying, “Companionship.”After she got pregnant, Jay had disregarded all other affairs and only focu
