“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
“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
