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
Angeline merely hoped that this child would get to be whoever they wanted to be.The atmosphere at the family event was akin to a wildfire that had been ignited. Even the Ares family’s mistresses began to flock around Angeline to give her their blessings.No one seemed to have noticed that at this moment, there was a faint scent of fragrant wood wafting through the air.When the smell of fragrant wood became stronger, someone fainted and fell to the ground.Someone else yelled, “Ahhh! snakes!”Very quickly, the entire scene became chaotic.Jay held Angeline in his arms and continuously looked over at the people who were toppling over one another. He said restlessly, “You must leave this place immediately, Angeline.”Angeline said, “What about you?”Angeline was holding Jay’s hand, reluctant to leave him. Her eyes were filled with concern at the moment. However, she could not bring herself to so selfishly ask Jay to go with her and have him disregard the others.After all, so m
“Don’t go in, Jens. It’s dangerous inside. I’ll go in and save them,” said Baby Robbie as he blocked Jenson at the door of the courtyard.Jenson looked at Baby Robbie and urged him, “You have to be careful as well.”“Okay,” said Baby Robbie as he turned around and rushed inside.When Jay saw Baby Robbie dashing in through the fire, he shouted anxiously, “Don’t come here, Robbie!”Baby Robbie exclaimed, “Daddy, I have a magic weapon to deal with these snakes!”Jay was surprised to find that the snakes would not get close to Baby Robbie.“Odd.” Cole was puzzled and asked, “Why are the snakes afraid of Baby Robbie?”Baby Robbie took the family seal out of his pockets and all of the poisonous snakes exploded, dying in an instant.Jay and Cole were both utterly shocked.When the snakes had all died, the guards rushed in to put out the fire.Cole collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion, but Jay was still standing tall and upright in the middle of the courtyard.Cole teased him,
Then, Jay, who had just run out, suddenly turned back and said anxiously, “Zayne, Josie, stay here and keep Angeline company. Don’t leave until I come back.”After saying this, he ran out again.Zayne and Josie were both dumbfounded. Zayne grumbled, “F*ck. It’s up to you if you want to spoil your wife, but why are you always involving us?”At Château de Selene’s backyard.In the beginning, Jay was reluctant to have his grandpa move out of Château de Selene. Meanwhile, Grandpa Ares was unwilling to stay in the front yard where he would disturb Jay and Angeline, the two lovebirds. Hence, Grand Old Master Ares had been staying in the backyard instead.Even so, Château de Selene’s backyard had always been the liveliest among all the other manor’s backyards. Firstly, it was because many people would visit the old man every day. And secondly, Jay had deliberately re-decorated the backyard to make it more magnificent.When Jay arrived at the backyard, Grand Old Master Yorks got up fro
