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
When Jenson and Whitney entered the hall, they heard the gloomy voice of Charles’ wife saying, “What military academy is she talking about? Charles Banners, don’t you try to fool me. In my opinion, she’s clearly a vixen you’re having an affair with…”Before she could finish her words, a silver needle flew over and pricked her lips.Madam Banners collapsed to the floor in fright, her eyes looking straight at the silver needle.Then, Whitney’s sharp and clear voice sounded. “Madam, don’t start assuming that this rotten old husband of yours is a treasure that everyone will fancy. Your taste and preferences don’t represent the masses, Madam. I only like a man like this one.”Then, Whitney held Jenson’s hand affectionately. Jenson usually disliked it when a girl approached him or touched him. Yet, he was not at all repulsed by Whitney’s physical touches.Madam Banners looked over at Whitney. She thought that although the girl was stunning, she was simply aggressive and not the type a m
