Jay pulled Finn up and grabbed him by the collar fiercely. He was akin to a ferocious leopard defending his kin in his territory. He warned Finn viciously. “You’re 12 years older than Baby Zetty, Finn. From now on, you must take good care of yourself. You have to be able to take a fall and stand to fight forever to protect Baby Zetty. You can’t allow any harm to befall her. You’ll have to live a long life and die after her. You’re never allowed to leave her alone to fend for herself in this world.”Finn burst into tears. “Thank you, Foster Father, for your blessing.”Jay shoved him off and angrily scoffed. “Why are you still calling me ‘Foster Father’?”Finn immediately changed his words. “Dad.”Jay sat on the chair dejectedly and muttered, “Remember, you’re my son-in-law, and one of mine.”Finn nodded solemnly. “Mm.”Jay said with distress, “Baby Zetty is the only descendant of Boye. She’s not an ordinary person. If you want to live a peaceful and stable life, I’m afraid you c
When Finn came downstairs, Baby Zetty, who had been waiting at the stairwell, immediately greeted him and asked anxiously, “What did my dad say, Brother Finn?”She was really worried that the old-fashioned Jay would disagree with her being with Finn.Seeing Baby Zetty’s nervous and hopeful eyes, Finn suddenly hugged her in his arms and told her excitedly, “Zetty, Dad gave us his blessing.”Baby Zetty looked at him in disbelief. Finn was addressing Jay as ‘Dad’, indicating that they had a very pleasant conversation.Baby Zetty started smiling like a fool.“Daddy agreed?”Finn nodded happily. “Yeah.”At this time, Jay walked downstairs with a sullen face and saw the scene of Baby Zetty and Finn hugging. His handsome and elegant face showed his dissatisfaction.Finn quickly let go of Baby Zetty. He had Jay’s words in mind—wait for Baby Zetty to grow up.On the other hand. Jenson was giving Zayne a ride and drove on the dark road. The car’s headlights dimly reflected on Zayne’s
Zayne looked at the woman’s submissive and humble appearance. His eyes became extremely gentle.Upon entering the house, Zayne placed the child on the sofa, and the woman gently removed Zayne’s coat. The two people looked at each other with what seemed to be affectionate gazes. There seemed to be something between them. Zayne suddenly reached out and took the woman’s hand. The woman lowered her head, her eyes showing how bashful she was feeling. “Are you hungry, Brother Zayne? I’ve made dinner. Just wait here, I’ll bring it out for you.”“Mm.” Zayne chuckled.However, at this moment, the doorbell rang.Zayne quickly retracted his hand as if he had been stung by a bee. There was a sense of helplessness in the woman’s eyes. She motioned for Zayne to hide in the room at the back.Zayne heaved a sigh. Perhaps he did not want to appear too terrified in front of a woman, so he mustered up the courage to show the imposing manner of a strong man. “Go and open the door.”The woman wal
Zayne walked up to Jens with a weight on his mind. He opened his mouth but had no idea where to start. Jenson looked at him, quietly waiting for Zayne to be done with his mental struggle.“Jens, how do you plan on handling this matter?” Zayne asked Jens tentatively. Jens smiled and asked, “What do you want me to do?”Zayne said, “Jens, the relationship between me and her isn't what you think. We do have feelings for each other, but we also know that this is very immoral, so we’re desperately restraining our feelings. It’s just that emotional matters are complicated…”Perhaps due to nerves, Zayne’s words were extremely incoherent. Jens coldly reminded him, “Uncle, this is cheating.”Zayne looked at Jens in shock. Initially, he still had some wishful thinking. He thought that since Jens was still young and did not know much about relationships, he could perhaps sway him with a couple of words. As long as Jens was moved by his relationship with Emmy, maybe Jens would not tell
When Jenson returned to the Tourmaline Estate, it was already midnight.Château de Selene was extremely quiet, but Jay was sitting in the rest chair in the front courtyard, waiting for Jenson’s arrival.When Jenson returned, Jay went forward to greet him. In the night, the two leopard-like men were conversing quietly. Jay’s voice was laced with prestige. “He didn’t come back?”Jenson shook his head. “He’s still hesitating.”Jay was shrouded with anger. “How old is he? How is he still swayed by the first stirrings of love?”Jenson said, “Daddy, Uncle is still restrained by morality at the moment. It seems like he doesn’t want to throw away his relationship with Aunt Josie entirely.”Jay snorted and retorted, “Unwilling to throw it away? It’s not because of his old feelings for Josephine or anything. He’s just afraid of losing his current stability and prestige.”Jenson looked at his daddy, feeling restless. He knew that Daddy had zero tolerance for extramarital affairs. Uncle’s b
Josie got down from the swing and walked toward Zayne. Her round eyes were filled with anger, and there was a dense air of grievances shrouding her face. “What right do you have to yell at me, Zayne Severe?! You ran out to fool around last night and came home early this morning without giving any explanation to us. I got up early in the morning, made breakfast for Joseph, and sent him to kindergarten. Not only did you show zero concern for us but you’re yelling at us for no good reason? Don’t you know that you’re being too much, Zayne?!”Zayne said with a slightly guilty conscience, “I was busy with work last night. Shouldn’t you be more considerate of me?”Josie had exhausted herself the entire morning but did not receive the slightest consideration from Zayne. He was even asking her to be more considerate of him. Josie immediately became angry and said without hesitation, “Work, work, work. It’s always about work with you. You had zero profits all year round. Is work really more
Zayne started dreading a divorce and went back home to his family. However, he had to face the grumpy and the garrulous Josie every day. He was quickly getting incomparably irritated. He felt that he was living in an extremely stifling cage. Sooner or later, he would be suffocated to death.Zayne was unhappy. He drooped his head all day long and stayed in his cage like a wandering soul. Meanwhile, Josie was busy raising Joseph. She needed to teach him how to read, how to make arts and crafts, and send him off to various tutoring classes non-stop.She had been too busy to care about Zayne as her life was akin to fighting in a war. However, Zayne could not see all of Josie’s hard work. He merely felt that such a life was not what he wanted.Nonetheless, he still did not have the courage to bring up the topic of divorce to Josie again. The days went by just like that. He thought that this was it and this was how the rest of his life was going to be like. What he had no idea was t
As soon as Baby Robbie came in, his stalwart body was frozen in place upon hearing Zayne’s words. He could not believe such disdainful words that were filled with contempt actually came out of Uncle Zayne’s mouth. “Aunt Josie,” greeted Baby Robbie while stepping in. When Josie saw Baby Robbie, joy spread across her face. This had been a long-awaited reunion. “You’re back, Robbie?”Baby Robbie walked over and placed Joseph on his knees, saying, “I’ll teach Joseph how to add and subtract, Aunt Josie.”Zayne sighed and said, “He’ll never get it. Josie has been teaching him for several days now. I just don’t understand why he can’t seem to get it.”Baby Robbie glanced over at Zayne and said, “I heard from Mommy that you were infamous for being a bad student when you were younger. Is it possible that Joseph inherited this trait of yours?”Zayne had always blamed Joseph’s shortcomings on Josie. Perhaps it was because Josie loved Zayne too much, so she always tolerated his shortcomi
“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
