Dawn spared no effort for the lollipop. He violently pushed Angel and provocatively said, “I’m going to beat you up today so that Daddy will reward me with a lollipop.”Angel rolled her eyes at him and took out a ten-dollar bill from her pocket. Then, she handed it to Dawn and said, “I can give you money and you can buy a lot of lollipops with this. As long as you lose to me now, I’ll give this to you.”Dawn took the money and put it into his pocket. Then, he fell onto the ground on purpose and pretended to cry out, “Daddy, my bum hurts…”Cole and Jay were both dumbstruck upon witnessing the two children’s manipulation.Cole smacked his forehead, simply unable to watch his dramatic son getting bribed by Angel with a mere ten-dollar bill. Dawn had utterly disregarded his masculinity.It was a wholly disgraceful act.Moreover, Jay did not expect his daughter to be so cunning.Cole was still trying to save some dignity for his son. Instead of exposing his tricks, he walked up to Da
Angeline hurriedly went out to stop the argument when she heard the quarreling outside the door.“It’s normal for the children to fight but it’s the two of you who are quarreling instead. Don’t you think it’s childish? Head inside and make arrangements for your trip to Sacred Land.”Jay’s expression naturally became gloomy after getting scolded by his wife. He resentfully glared at Cole and said, “Go in.”After entering, Angeline made a pot of chrysanthemum tea and poured a glass for Jay and Cole.When the two men saw the calming tea, they understood that Angeline intended to get rid of their hostile air so that they could chat peacefully.“Cousin Cole, you and Jaybie are leaving Imperial Capital soon, so why did you bring Dawn to Tourmaline Estate?” Angeline asked suspiciously.A trace of pain flashed across Cole’s eyes. It took him quite some time before he could say, “Your big sister is getting married, and I don’t want Dawn to grow up in a new family. So I’m trying to fight f
Angeline said somewhat disappointedly, “Truthfully, I always hoped that you and Sis Shirley would end up together. Not just because you have a child together, but because she truly likes you. You’ll always have a special place in her heart, and now that the two of you are parting ways, I just feel that it’s a great pity.”Jay embraced Angeline and said, “Don’t be sad, Angeline. So many people in this world part ways almost every day, but you can rest assured that Jaybie and you will never be separated.”Afterward, he looked at Cole very smugly and said with some hidden meaning, “I’ll always protect you and will never allow anyone to come between us.”Cole stared at him speechlessly and said, “I simply can’t stand you. Stop trying to throw hints at me so frequently.”Jay said, “I wasn’t doing that at all. Stop assuming things on your own.” Cole was so angry that he stopped replying to Jay.However, Jay added fuel to the fire and said, “Sis Shirley and Francis are getting married
Sis Shirley was determined when she said, “He’s my child that I brought up, and I was the person who gave birth to him. I’ll not give up on him no matter what happens.”“What if Cole insists on Dawn’s custody? Are you truly going to court with him?”“Yes.”Angeline did not expect that the beautiful marriage she had been looking forward to would end up like this.Then, Angeline brought up Cole’s trip to Sacred Land and said, “Sis Shirley, something major has happened in Imperial Capital. Grayson and Andy have caught a disease, so Cole and Jaybie are leaving Imperial Capital to find the antidote. It’ll be an unpredictable trip, so you have to think about the future between you and Cole carefully.”Shirley seemed to have fallen into deep thought for quite some time.After a while, Shirley’s voice sounded choked up when she said, “If he wants to go, then let him.”Angeline heard the sobbing tone in Sis Shirley’s voice and knew that she was definitely reluctant to part with Cole. Mor
Shirley’s decision seemed to have been compelled by her current circumstances, so this made her brother and sister feel very sorry for her.Zayne angrily looked for Cole and asked, “Yorks, I’m asking you something here. Are you truly not planning on marrying our Shirley?”Cole leisurely looked back at Zayne. He always had a casual temper. Even when his parents quarreled and decided to split, he had remained perfunctory about it. It was as if he was always wearing invincible and heavy armor.“Is there still a need to ask me about this?” Cole said calmly.Zayne angrily swiped a fist toward him but Cole managed to catch it. “If you can’t do it, don’t even start with me.” As soon as Cole said this, he immediately flung off Zayne’s hand.Zayne knew he could not beat Cole, so he screamed out frantically, “Bastard! My big sister gave birth to a son for you and bitterly waited for you for so many years. Is your heart made of steel? Why aren’t you in the least moved by everything she’s don
Angeline looked at Sis Shirley. After not seeing her for quite some time, she realized that Shirley’s temperament had gotten classier and more grand. It was as if she had been refined into perfection, and even her delicate appearance looked more resolute now.“Now that you’re getting more tenacious, Sis Shirley, it makes me feel so happy for you.”Shirley forced out a bitter laugh and said, “Being a mother is making me stronger, that’s all.”The sisters had finally reunited after a long time, so naturally, they had to sit together and catch up over cups of coffee.Since Sis Shirley did not see her brother-in-law or Josie and Zayne, it made her ask curiously, “Where are the others?”Angeline said, “Tomorrow, Jaybie, Zayne, and Cole are all leaving Imperial Capital. They went to bid farewell to Grandpa.”Shirley’s eyes reddened slightly as she asked, “Then when will they come back?”Angeline replied to her quietly, “No one knows where Sacred Land is, so no one knows when exactly t
Zayne became particularly insensitive and teased, “Welcome to the deadbeat men club.”Cole glared at Zayne fiercely, so Zayne decided to consider his dignity and coaxed him instead. “Okay, okay. Stop putting on such a sour face, will ya? You’re obviously at an advantage here, so why are you acting like everyone here owes you something? What? Is it that hard to be a deadbeat? Then you should ask if my sister agrees…”Before Zayne could finish his sentence, Shirley glared at Zayne angrily. “You’d better start shutting your mouth.”Zayne patted his mouth, saying, “Our family already has a man who overly spoils his wife, and now, I’m afraid we’ll soon have a woman who’ll overly spoil her husband.”Josie pulled on Zayne’s ear with a smile. “Then what about our family?”Zayne bared his teeth and said, “It hurts, it hurts, it hurts… Our family has a violent woman.”Josie said, “Now you’re asking for it!”Jay looked at the depressed Cole at the moment. Perhaps it was because they shared
Jay walked in and hugged her waist from behind. He whispered, "Angeline, even if my cousin is somewhat against this, at the very least, he’s taking a step forward in his relationship with Sis Shirley. This is a good thing, right?""Yeah.""Cole won’t let a gentle and kind woman like Sis Shirley down. Perhaps their love won’t be zealous and passionate like ours, but it might be able to last for a long time as well. This is also another kind of love."Angeline felt a little more relieved and became chirpier. "You're right, darling."Jay suddenly picked Angeline up and walked outside."What are you doing?""The kitchen fumes are bad for you. I'll cook the food, so you get out."Angeline smiled and said, "I already said that I'd do it. Moreover, you're leaving tomorrow. I want to make you a meal so that you’ll always remember the taste of home."Jay sniffed her body and mischievously said, "The only thing I need to remember is the smell of perfume on your body."Angeline hugged hi
“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
