Zayne never expected his single act of unfaithfulness would immediately close the door to his relationship with Josie.If he had known earlier that his relationship with Emmy would have such serious consequences, he would never have done such a thing. Nonetheless, everything was too late.By the time Jens brought Emmy over to Château de Selene, Emmy stood beside Zayne so openly that it was not until she saw Angeline’s cold eyes that she moved away from him slightly. Angeline introduced herself to Emmy. “I’m Angeline Severe, Zayne’s little sister. Although he’s the elder one, I’m the one in charge of all of the Severe family’s affairs.”Emmy was stunned. She had always assumed that the rich would run things in a patriarchal way. She did not expect the Severes to do the opposite.Angeline said, “Do you really like Zayne?”Emmy immediately nodded continuously and said earnestly, “Yes. I’m truly in love with Zaynie. Be it poverty or wealth, I’ll never dislike him because of that.”
After piercing a few thorns into Zayne’s heart, Angeline took a jab at Emmy while pointing at her. “Emmy, I don’t care whether you’re going after Zayne because of true love or you’ve taken a fancy to his upper class background. I’d still like to talk about the harsh truth. Firstly, since you and Zayne started this relationship on an immoral grounds, you’ll end up being an immoral couple. You have your own kid, and he has his own, so it’s better to sign a prenup before your marriage and leave your own assets to your own kids.”Seeing the astonishment in Emmy’s eyes, Angeline knew that Emmy never expected to keep such a tight leash on money. Jay came over with a glass of water and said diligently, “You’ve worked hard, my darling. Drink some tea to quench your thirst.”When Angeline retrieved the glass from him, she noticed Jay casting an encouraging look at her.“Very well said.”Jay quietly praised her.Angeline immediately blushed at this. She was not such a vain and snobbish
Angeline looked at Zayne, who was utterly aggrieved at the moment. Her eyes were filled with resentment and disappointment. She walked toward Zayne and persuaded him sincerely, “Zaynie, you’re no longer a three-year-old child. You’re practically a middle-aged man now but why are you still so immature? Do you think that marriage life should be free and casual? Zayne, the older you get, the greater the responsibility on your shoulders. You must understand that the meaning of your life is not just to enjoy yourself but to relieve the burden of others as well. Although life gets more tiring for yourself, it makes it more valuable as well.”Zayne got up from the floor in embarrassment. He stared in the direction Josie was leaving in a daze. His tears and snot mixed together on his face. He asked Angeline, “Is it still possible for me to be with Jose? If I were to change my inferior nature, work hard, and strive to be a good father and husband in the future, will Jose return to me?”Angeli
Zayne took Josie’s hand and pleaded bitterly, “I’ve never disliked Joseph, Jose. I didn’t know how hard it’s been for you. I just hated my incompetence and living inside the Ares household. I couldn’t accept that I was making you and Joseph unable to live with your heads held high. That kind of thinking forced me to desperately want to succeed, but I truly have no talent in doing business and I got anxious. I got impatient… I’m so sorry, Jose.”Josie looked at Zayne, and she suddenly recalled the scene when her cousins from the second branch family pestered them. At the time, they told her that she was merely the adopted daughter of the Ares family, so why was she getting financial support from the Areses?She was still a confident woman at that time and did not take these words to heart at all. Unexpectedly, Zayne was the one who was hurt upon listening to them.Josie felt dismal and desolated. She pushed Zayne aside and said, “You wanted your dignity as a man and I had tried fulfi
The holiday was over in the blink of an eye. Jenson and Baby Robbie talked secretly in the bedroom for a long time. Jenson asked Baby Robbie very solemnly, “Are you sure that you want me to exchange identities with you and help you deal with that she-devil?”Jenson felt that one’s time on earth was quite lengthy. It was inevitable to encounter all kinds of things in life. Baby Robbie should not be cowering. Judging from his character alone, he was not someone who would cower either.However, Baby Robbie had a firm gaze and said, “Jens, I suddenly want to stay in Imperial Capital to keep Aunt Josie and Baby Zetty company. Please fulfill my wish this time.”Jenson nodded. “Alright. Since you’ve decided, then I’ll set off tomorrow and go to the military academy on your behalf. But Robbie, the academy is under strict control. I can’t stay there for too long. You have to come back and switch with me after a month.”“Alright,” Baby Robbie responded quickly. The next day. Jens went ov
When Jens and the sisters left Imperial Capital, Baby Zetty and Finn went to the airport to see them off. As they watched Jens and the sisters depart, there seemed to be a tacit understanding between them. They did not bid their farewells as if they knew this would merely be a short time apart. However, after Jens entered the boarding gate, he still could not help but turn around slowly.The scene he witnessed was Baby Zetty standing there akin to a stone sculpture, looking at him without so much as a blink. Tears were streaming down her beautiful eyes. “Jens,” Baby Zetty called out silently.Jens muttered something silently. “Zetty, even if we’re worlds apart, I’ll miss you. Remember to come home.”Zetty nodded.As Jens’ figure disappeared into the airport, Baby Zetty cried out and fell into Finn’s arms. “Brother Finn, do you think Jens and I will see each other again?”Finn comforted her, saying, “You will. Once we hear any sort of news, no matter how far away we are, I’
Jens and Baby Robbie’s intelligence were equally matched, but Jens was the scrupulous one while Baby Robbie did not pay much heed to many things. It made it seem like Jens was lacking youthful vigor. On the contrary, he appeared incredibly mature and staid. Jens said to the sisters, “We should stay in the academy’s compound and come out less in the future. This place is definitely not as safe as Imperial Capital.”The sisters looked at one another. Usually, Baby Robbie would be the one to plead with them to come out and play together, yet the guy was acting a little odd today. Jens realized that talking too much would surely expose him, so he kept quiet from then on and simply walked forward. “Hehe. Could it be that the person who came with us is not Baby Robbie but Jens?” Lil Ten said while giggling. Roxie looked at Jens’ straight back, and her eyes sank slightly while scolding Lil Ten, “You can’t simply mutter those words out loud. The military academy is a strict place. If
Suddenly, an alarm bell started ringing rapidly. While Jenson was still sitting on the chair in a daze, his roommate immediately jumped down from the bed, quickly putting his uniform and shoes on before running outside. He turned around to see that Jens was still slightly in a daze and turned back around to toss Jens’ clothes onto him. Then, he said in a panic, “We have to go assemble, Robert. Quick. You’ll be punished if you’re late.”Upon hearing this, Jenson picked up his clothes and shoes before going outside. Fortunately, Jens had also received hellish training at the Legendary Youth Academy in the past, so he was able to cope with the sudden change. Several students were rushing toward the playground in a flurry. The instructor was holding a long and thick ruler in his hand. His sharp eyes were scanning each of the students thoroughly.Seeing that the school badge on Jens’ body was slightly slanted, the instructor angrily shouted at him, “Come to the front, Robert Ares!”
