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
Then, he proceeded to look at Cole very disappointedly and said, “I poured my heart and soul to nurture you and bring you up into a refined man with good academic performance. But, alas, I suppose bad habits are hard to change. You’re just as boorish and rude as your father!”Cole said impatiently, “Don’t be so long-winded, Old Man. Quick, tell us more about the secret technique that summons poisonous snakes. What’s up with that?”Once they got back to that subject, Grand Old Master Yorks’ expression became extraordinarily solemn.“It’s a long story.”“Then please take your time,” said Cole as he picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.Grand Old Master Yorks said, “Originally, the Yorks were a great big family who lived on the foot of Mount Pearl. My papa had four other brothers and two older sisters. Each of the households had four children, and in ours, I was the youngest one. I had two older brothers and an older sister. Initially, our family lived a happy and peaceful life
“Her jade is able to drive away snakes and ferocious beasts. I’m afraid that this jade is also artificially synthesized. Perhaps the composition inside contains some medicinal ingredients that allow it to have such an effect on those snakes.”As soon as Jenson said this, Grand Old Master Yorks slapped his thigh as if he had just woken up from a dream, saying, “Oh, right! Jens’ words reminded me of something else. She gave me a couple of massages that cured my indigestion when I was younger. Back then, I was quite sallow and skinny, but after she massaged me all over, I started to gain a bigger appetite.”Jay scrupulously said, “What about the Beast God? How did that come about?”Grand Old Master Yorks heaved out a sad sigh, saying, “The woman left our house just like that. My mother wailed and sobbed hysterically, and she ultimately believed the woman’s words. She held onto the jade and went up the mountain to find my papa. But Mount Pearl is huge, so it wasn’t possible to look for
Jay looked at Grand Old Master Ares in a genuinely apologetic manner and said, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I didn’t tell you about Grandma Boye’s return to Imperial Capital.”Grand Old Master Ares sighed and said, “You didn’t have to tell me. I already knew.”Jay was stunned. “If you know that she’s back, why didn’t you go see her?”Grand Old Master Ares said, “She’s been back for so long but has never taken the initiative to visit me. Perhaps in her heart, I’m merely a person of her past. So why should I bother her?”Jay heaved a weak sigh.Grandpa and Grandma’s love was something he could never understand.In Jay’s point of view, as long as he was still alive, he would never let go of his beloved woman. He would be entangled with her until the day they died.Grand Old Master Ares said, “Alright, leave my matters alone now. Let’s talk about what’s happening right now. Why did snakes suddenly appear in Tourmaline Estate?”Jay shifted his gaze toward Jenson, and Jenson’s handsome face
