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
