When faced with Jens’ frankness, Angeline sighed in a melancholic manner. Everyone’s first impression was always the strongest. Angeline had a favorable impression of Savannah as well. If both Savannah and Whitney liked Jens, and Jens could only choose between one of the two, it would simply be heartbreaking. As an enlightened mother, Angeline could only revert this issue back to her son. “Don’t hurt Savannah, Jens.”Jens proceeded to sigh weakly.How could the person not chosen remain unharmed in this situation? He truly had no clue how to preserve Savannah’s self-esteem. “I’ll do my best,” said Jens. After Jens was done with his talk with Angeline, he walked out of the living hall. Whitney looked over at Jens guiltily and said, “Did I stir up trouble for you, Jens?”Jens nodded. “Well, I had to face it sooner or later.”Whitney suddenly smiled brightly because of his words and said, “Rest assured, Jens. I’ll compensate you well in the future.”Jens asked her mischievousl
Zayne and Josie had not seen each other for a long time. It was not that Zayne did not want to see Josie. It was just that every time he went over to Josie’s Flying Moon Cottage, she would refuse to open the door. Zayne felt rather proud and angry at first. However, after quite some time, Zayne started to get over it. In any case, he was going to dedicate his entire life to Josie now, so even if she ignored him, he would simply work harder to try and enter her life again. He had become very open-minded. He deceived himself while comforting himself that every couple had a different method of getting along. He thought that he and Josie were destined to end up this way, where she would be the one doing the chasing in the first half of their lives while he would be pursuing her in the second half of their lives. When Angeline and Sir Ares came to Flying Moon Cottage to visit Josie hand in hand, they noticed Zayne sweating profusely while holding onto a few cartons of milk. He sat o
Joseph nodded at Zayne obediently. “Okay.”A touch of disappointment flashed across Zayne’s eyes. He initially thought that he could make use of his son by making him feel reluctant to part with him. Perhaps Josie would feel moved and allow him to stay by their side.It was just that Joseph was not particularly close to him.Zayne suddenly felt sorrowful as he was not a responsible and patient father. He seemed to be someone dispensable in his son’s eyes.Tears welled up in Zayne’s eyes. He placed Joseph down before leaving in despair. Angeline looked over at Zayne’s desolated back. It would be a lie to say that she did not feel sorry for him. However, she knew that he must accept the punishment for having an affair. He needed to have a readjustment period from having done such a thing. Jay looked at Josie’s stiff expression and Angeline’s sorrowed look. He sighed weakly in his heart.It seemed like he had to end this situation soon enough. Otherwise, both Josie and Angeline w
“Zayne, you’re not content with being mediocre, but you’re not a person meant to do big things. You’ve wasted most of your life and to put it bluntly, you’re just a burden to others.”Jay’s words hit Zayne like a heavy hammer. He was the young master of the Severe family. The majority of the time, he would be receiving flattery from others. He had never truly known how to position himself. Jay’s short sentence seemed to have woken Zayne up from a dream.He drooped his head and reflected on himself very seriously. “I know that I was in the wrong, and I’ll change. From now on, I’ll try my best to split the housework with Josie. I’ll start with small things and won’t bite off more than I can chew. Please, Jay, give me a chance. Don’t introduce Josie to a new boyfriend.”Hearing Zayne’s remorse, Jay thought it did sound somewhat genuine. The guy seemed like he was serious about turning over a new leaf. He just needed more experience. Jay said with a cold face, “You’ve always been good
Savannah looked at Jens suspiciously as an inexplicable sense of anxiety filled her eyes. She muttered, “I only remember that my master said that my true destiny is someone cold and who never smiles. Since Jens’ brother has a cheerful and lively personality, he’s clearly not the one I’m looking for.”Whitney smiled and said, “Little girl, you’ve never even met Jens before this, nor have you seen Baby Robbie. You merely heard from your master that your prince charming is a cold, harsh man. Have you ever thought that perhaps your master is wrong? After all, destiny is not something static. It may change over time.”Savannah said confidently, “My master has high morality and is virtuous. He’d never lie to me.”Jens stood aside looking helpless.Whitney decided to pull Jens aside and whispered, “Do you believe her words, Jens?”Jenson merely told her as it was, “Truthfully, it’s somewhat bizarre. She was right several times.”Whitney would never believe in Savannah’s little fortune-t
Angeline was truly moved by Roxie’s strength.Meanwhile, Roxie’s face was filled with happiness at being able to lie in Mommy’s arms. Perhaps because of the fear of death, Roxie opened up her heart and told Mommy about her childhood.“Mommy, I have a secret that I’ve been keeping in the bottom of my heart. I was planning on taking it with me to the grave, but I suddenly changed my mind.”Angeline said softly, “Are you going to tell me about it?”“Yeah.”“I’ll listen, Roxie. Take it easy.”Hence, Roxie started telling Angeline about it.“I was actually over five years old when I was abducted by human traffickers. However, since I was small and frail due to being malnourished for a long time, traffickers mistakenly thought I was just a three or four-year-old child. They firmly believed that when I grew up, I would forget about my parents and would not cause trouble to the organization, so they never put their guards up against me.“After entering the organization, I was finally a
Angeline’s heart became tighter listening to Roxie’s story about her childhood. It was the kind of numbing pain that pierced into her soul, heart, liver, and even her lungs.Angeline held onto Roxie tightly as if she was holding a newborn baby. She pressed her weak head into her arms. Roxie’s tears were pouring like heavy rain that kept on flowing. Angeline looked at Roxie, who was getting weaker and weaker because of her illness. She felt even more sorry for her. “You have to listen to Mommy, Roxie. You have to be strong and survive this hurdle. Then you’ll have endless happiness in the future.”Roxie suddenly said softly, “I’d like to see them, Mommy.”Angeline knew that Roxie was referring to her parents. Although she hated her heartless parents who had no sense of responsibility, it was still Roxie’s wish. Hence, Angeline said to Roxie, “Alright, sure. Mommy will look for them.”After settling Roxie down, Angeline walked out with red eyes.When Jay saw Angeline’s expression,
However, Charles’ position in the Banners household was not that high up because his father was merely the illegitimate son of the Banners family. The son of an illegitimate child simply had no rankings in the Banners family.Hence, Charles, who lacked status from birth, lived a life of poverty even though he was born in a wealthy family. Every time he witnessed the other Banners children eating well, dressing well, and attending the best schools, his heart grew distorted.When he grew up, because of his poor financial background and self-consciousness, he made the decision to marry a woman from a small family. Unexpectedly, not long after his marriage, he had a realization that in terms of his career, he could rely on the title of being a young master from the Banners family to find himself a good job.He gradually became wealthier, then turned a blind eye to his sickly wife. Furthermore, Charles looked rather handsome and was soon taken a liking to by a lady from a rich family. Af
“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
