“What are you doing?” Zayne asked.“She called you a horse… Sob, sob, sob. I want to beat her up. This is too insulting!” Joseph cried out.Zayne was dumbfounded.Angel was not afraid at all, or rather, she was looking forward to becoming a chivalrous rogue who could punish evil and promote good. Angel stuck out her chest and accepted Joseph’s challenge.“Bring it on, then. Do you think I’m afraid of you?”Joseph was nearly a year older than Angel and was slightly taller than her. He was also stronger than her and had arms that were bigger than hers. He swung his arms and approached Angel.Although Angel was petite and delicate, she was extremely bold as she held him by the waist and kicked him hard.Zayne crossed his arms and watched the exciting battle unfold while grinning from ear to ear. Occasionally, he would cheer for Joseph as well, “C’mon, Joseph! You’re a man. You can’t lose.”Angel’s adorable braids had come loose after being yanked by Joseph, and her arms were cut b
We’re the big guys. You’re just a little munchkin,” Baby Robbie said, pinching Angel’s nose.“Where are you going?” Jenson looked at Angel who was planning to go out alone and admired her courage from the bottom of his heart.He had been most afraid of being alone when he was young.Angel answered, “I’m going to play with Dawn.”Baby Robbie immediately picked Angel up and coaxed her, saying, “Don’t go to him. Have you forgotten how terribly he beat you up last time?”Angel said, “I beat him up too. I didn’t suffer a defeat.”The four-year-old Dawn had clearly beaten up the two-year-old Angel to the point where she had bruises and swelling on her face, yet she continued to insist that it was not a defeat.However, the adults knew that she had suffered a tremendous defeat.“I don’t always come home. Why don’t you keep me company?” Baby Robbie said in a spoiled manner.Angel hugged Baby Robbie’s face and gave him a kiss, saying, “You’re the closest to me, so I’ll keep you company
He then looked Angel up and down, saying with a puzzled expression, “Say, you sure know which traits to inherit, don’t you? You inherited your mother’s flawless beauty, your father’s venomous tongue, and your great-grandpa’s bandit ways as well as two-faced character. You’re a freak.”Angel was not mad. In fact, there were very few things that could tick her off. She chuckled and said, “I think I’m really smart for inheriting all of their strengths too.”Zayne was speechless.“You can’t even tell if I’m talking good or bad about you.”Upstairs.Angeline was tidying up Angel’s clothes. Jay entered the room and sat on one side, staring at Angeline dazedly.When Angeline was done tidying up the clothes, she sat in front of him and asked in a soft voice, “You haven’t said anything since coming in. Is something bothering you?”Jay smiled and replied, “No, I just want to look at you.”“Why do you want to look at me? You look at me every single day.” Angeline sounded a little embarras
Angeline was stunned.Then, tears welled up in her eyes. “Jaybie…”Jay said, “I know you don’t wish for this, Angeline, but this is really serious…” Jay had prepared a lengthy speech to persuade Angeline.Angeline was a person who put the greater good above anything else. Even though she was filled with grief, she held back her sorrows and nodded firmly.“Don’t say anymore, Jaybie. I support you.”Jay was relieved to have Angeline’s support. Though immediately after that, the thought of the farewell that was soon to come left his heart hollow as regret overwhelmed him.“Angeline, once I’m gone, I’ll leave Angel in your hands. That child is extremely mischievous and you may not be able to control her. If she’s really disobedient and makes you upset, then hit her if you must.”Angeline did not know whether to laugh or cry.“That’s your precious baby. Everyone in Tourmaline Estate knows that you pamper Angel. You’re the good guy in her eyes and now you’re asking me to hit her? Onc
Baby Robbie said, “Let me go, Daddy.”Jay said, “Your mother’s right. She hopes you will live an ordinary life. You shouldn’t skip your college entrance examination.”Baby Robbie sighed.Jenson had an idea and said with a smile, “I have an idea. Mommy, Daddy, there are still three months until the college entrance examination. Daddy can take the Ghost members to search for Sacred Land first, and when Baby Robbie and the sisters have completed their examination, they’ll go and offer Daddy assistance. Daddy can then come home after that.”Baby Robbie said, “Okay. This is a good idea.”Jay looked at Angeline, and she muttered, “If your father still hasn’t found Blood Lily in three months, then we’ll do that.”Hearing that Daddy was going out on a vacation, Angel trotted over with her short legs and hugged Jay’s thigh while saying in a spoiled manner, “Bring Angel with you, Daddy. Angel wants to go on an adventure with you.”Jay patted his daughter’s little head. “It’s dangerous to
Jay understood Angeline’s reasons for doing so. She wanted him to inform the Yorks family members. However, Angeline would leave it to him to decide on whether he wanted to break the news to them.Jay looked at Angeline with a loving gaze. Her open-mindedness and transparency helped him feel a sense of relief at such times.Apart from marrying such a wife, what more could a man ask for?“There’s no need to choose another day. I’ll go right now,” Jay said.Angeline nodded.Jay suddenly took Angeline's hand and said tenderly, "You'll come with me."He wanted to keep Angeline company in the last few days.Angeline knew that he could not bear to part with her and was worried about her, hence she gave in to his wishes. Jenson and Baby Robbie said, “We’ll go with Daddy too.”“Okay,” Jay said sourly.Half an hour later, Jay arrived at the Yorks family’s villa with his wife and sons.Grand Old Master Yorks was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. Besides, Grand Old Master
Cole looked at Jay who was exuding a kingly aura and twitched his mouth. “I don’t want to hang out with him. He’s a loud-mouth.”Jay’s jaw dropped. “You’re obviously retreating because you’re not as good as me.”Cole was angered. “I’m not as good as you? What else are you good at aside from being loquacious?” Jay smiled proudly. "I'm better than you in everything."One should never compete with Jay in front of Angeline.Angeline persuaded them and said, “Stop arguing. This isn’t the time to argue. Are you going or not, Cole? If you’re going, then at least say goodbye to Sis Shirley and Dawn.”As soon as she mentioned Dawn’s name, Grand Old Master Yorks was infuriated.Dawn was four years old now yet Cole and Shirley’s relationship was still lukewarm. Like the boiling frog syndrome, they both had the same mentality of allowing nature to take its course.Grand Old Master Yorks was anxious. He feared that Dawn would not even acknowledge his biological father on the day he died. I
Mrs. Yorks looked extremely desolated. “Angeline, there’s only one thing I ask of you. If I leave, I want you to scatter my ashes in a river. Famous rivers or mountains are fine, just don’t place me in the Yorks’ land. I don’t want to have anything to do with the Yorks.”Angeline let out a grievous cry. “Don’t say things like that, Aunt Crystal. You’ll be okay. You’ll get better soon.”Angeline’s cries drew Jay and Spencer’s attention. When they entered the room, Angeline threw herself into Jay’s arms and cried her heart out.“Aunt Crystal is…”Spencer staggered when he heard how Angeline was addressing Mrs. Yorks.Spencer was a big old man, and in his opinion, now that Sandra had died, their once beautiful memories and grievances were also gone with the wind.Spencer knew from the way Angeline addressed Mrs. Yorks as Aunt Crystal that the woman was mad at him again.Spencer sighed and said sorrowfully, “Darling, Sandra is dead. Why are you fussing over things with a dead person
