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
Zayne chuckled and said, “Don’t be angry, guys. I was just thinking that since I’m leaving Imperial Capital tomorrow, I have to figure something out first. I’ve always wondered who’s the strongest among these three children.”“Will the answer to this question bring any benefits to you?” Angeline was utterly annoyed.Zayne placed his chin on his hands and looked at Joseph who was fighting and retreating at the same time as well as the increasingly ferocious Angel. He also observed the seemingly dejected expression on Dawn’s face.“Of course, it’ll benefit me greatly. I’ll have to start getting on your brat’s good terms so that she’ll protect my son in the future, preventing my dear Joseph from getting bullied out there.”Angeline, “…”Jay said, “Are you mentally ill? Joseph is a boy. He’s supposed to grow up into an indomitable man, so why should he be the one hiding behind a girl?”Josie nodded and said, “That’s right. How can you do this as a dad? Our son is so young, but you’re
Zayne started eyeing Jay and said insinuatingly, “...who's able to get himself muddle-headed by some chick.”Angeline initially had absolute trust in Jay's resistance to beautiful women, but when Zayne mentioned Judy, she suddenly felt the lingering fear in her heart. She turned to look at Jay somewhat fearfully…Jay merely patted her head and said softly, "Don't worry. I have a wife as beautiful as a flower waiting for me back home. I'll not be interested in anyone in the outside world."Angeline smiled in relief.Zayne was fond of expressing a different view from Sir Ares, so he ridiculed, "Even a wife as beautiful as a flower will soon turn into a faded old woman, so they can't compete with those young girls out there."Josie cried out, "What do you mean by that, Zayne?"Zayne said, "Hey, I'm not talking about me. I'm talking about him. Just take a good look at your husband here. I'm a greasy old, middle-aged man now. Even if I were interested in doing those things, I wouldn't
Jay suddenly looked back with tearful eyes, saying, “Take care, Angeline.”Zayne was not a fan of the sentimental atmosphere, so he pulled Jay along and walked forward. He was even rejoicing in the calamity and said, “Let’s go, Big Brother. I’ve put a little something in their drinks so that they wouldn’t wake up early. Don’t expect Angeline to come and see you off.”At this time, the Ghost members had brought Yvette over to Jay and reported, “Mr. Ares, everything is in order now. Let’s set off.”“Okay.”Around noon, Angeline slowly opened her eyes.The sun’s rays shone on her eyes and she jumped up in bed to sit up. She looked at the clock on the wall and noticed that it was already 11 in the afternoon. Angeline placed her hand on the empty right side of the bed, sighing weakly.Jay had truly left.He did not even say goodbye to her and quietly left.It was a good decision, though. Otherwise, the parting would be much sadder.It was just that Angeline’s heart had become inexp
