A gaze of intense hatred appeared in Hecate’s eyes. “Madam Angeline, you look down on me because of my lowly family background, right? I’m not good enough for the Ares family, right?” Angeline shook her head and said, “You’re wrong. I’ve never looked down on you because of your family background. The children from the military intelligence division all come from incomplete families. However, I’d be overjoyed if any of them and Baby Robbie develop a liking for each other. I don’t like you because you have no idea how to love someone at all. It has nothing to do with your lowly family background.“I’m Baby Robbie’s mommy. The only requirement I have for my daughter-in-law is for her to be someone who loves Baby Robbie wholeheartedly. You’re incapable of doing that.” “I do love him,” Hecate shouted out. “If you really do love him, why did you put him in a position where he was forced to go against his friends and family? How could you make him unhappy every day?” Angeline question
Angeline said in a gentle tone, “Kid, move away. You’re still young. You still have a long life in front of you. There’s no need for you to sacrifice your life for an old woman like me. I’ve lived a long life. I’ve seen everything in the world that I’d like to see. I’ve enjoyed all the love that I’d like to receive as well. I won’t have any regrets even if I die here today.” Laurel turned around to look at Angeline. Her obsidian black eyes were clear and bright. “Madam Angeline, if you die here today, just imagine how tormented the people who are still alive would be. You’re a kind and generous person. There must be a lot of people who love you dearly. Even if you aren’t willing to think for yourself, you should think about them.” Angeline was slightly stunned. She stared at the girl in front of her. She was thin and petite with tanned skin. However, her eyes were deep and dark. She spoke in an extremely straightforward manner as well. She was a clever person who was capable of se
Angeline shook her head in exasperation. She felt extremely disappointed in Hecate. She lost her patience when she spoke up once again. “You keep expecting other people to treat you nicely, but you’ve never considered the fact that no one will ever treat someone else nicely without any reason. If you want others to treat you nicely, you’ll have to put effort into your relationships. That way, others will naturally treat you well.” Hecate remained silent. Angeline left Hecate behind and walked in front of Laurel. A worried expression appeared on her face when she saw the wound on her arm. “Kid, your arm is injured. Come to Tourmaline Estate with me. I’ll help you bandage your wound.” Laurel waved her hand at once. “It’s alright. It’s a light injury. I can take care of it myself.” Angeline then grabbed her hand and said, “You got injured because of me. I must thank you. Come with me to Tourmaline Estate. My daughters will be extremely grateful to you.” An ambiguous look ap
Whitney fixed her stare on Laurel as her gaze exuded a sense of comfort. “Laurel, they’re the foster daughters that my daddy and mommy adopted into the family. They’re all brave heroines. You’ll definitely get along well with them.” The girls stared at Laurel happily. They all gossipped among themselves. “This young girl looks extremely familiar,” Lil Ten said with a chuckle. Sis Andy chuckled and said, “It’s Miss Laurel’s first time meeting us. How could we be familiar with each other?”Lil Ten said, “Although I’ve never seen her before, she seems extremely friendly. Besides, she’s a fan of martial arts as well. Therefore, she gives off a strong sense of familiarity.” “You’re right, Lil Ten. Miss Laurel likes fighting for justice. She has a really likable personality. Why don’t we treat her like our younger sister?” Sis Andy suggested.Sis Rosie stared at Rosie. She suddenly chuckled and said, “Sis Andy, you’d like to treat Miss Laurel like your sister because you like her.
After hearing what Whitney said, Baby Robbie grabbed her arm excitedly and shook her forcefully. “Sister-in-law, tell me. Where’s she? Where’s she?” Jostling her as he shook her violently, Whitney sighed in exasperation, “Baby Robbie, stop shaking me around. Let me tell you everything slowly.” Baby Robbie immediately stopped shaking Whitney and stared at her obediently. Whitney could not help but tease him when she noticed how obedient he was. “I’m thirsty,” mused Whitney.“Wait for me here, sister-in-law. I’ll get a cup of water for you,” said Baby Robbie before he quickly rushed away.Soon after, Baby Robbie returned with a cup of water. “Drink some water, sister-in-law.” After Whitney took a sip of water, Baby Robbie asked, “Sister-in-law, are your shoulders sore? Would you like me to give you a massage?” Whitney burst out laughing, “Baby Robbie, just how much do you like her? You’re willing to step down from your high and mighty pedestal just for her sake.” Baby Ro
Baby Robbie threw the rock with a calculated force, not too light yet not too harsh to be of any threat to Sis Andy. After all, Laurel might not even step up to save Sis Andy. Therefore, the rock should not severely injure Sis Andy even if it did hit her,The rock shot towards Sis Andy rapidly. Just as it was about to hit Sis Andy’s head, Miss Laurel swiftly rose to catch the rock before turning around and hurtling it back from where it came from.Baby Robbie was too focused on Laurel’s reaction to dodge the rock that hurtled back at him. He noticed the shock in Laurel’s gaze that was soon replaced with worry.“Be careful, Baby Robbie,” called out Sis Andy. Her voice was so loud that it overpowered Laurel’s voice. However, Baby Robbie could read what she was saying from the shape of her lips. “Baby Robbie, move away,” shouted Laurel.The rock hit Baby Robbie firmly on the head and blood instantly streamed down the side of his head... Baby Robbie touched the red fluid on
Upon hearing that Baby Robbie would be personally providing lessons to Laurel, the sisters all burst out laughing. “Baby Robbie, while you are pretty good at your studies, you love moving about too much. Can you really settle down to teach Miss Laurel?” “Miss Laurel saved mommy’s life. Not only am I willing to teach her, but I’m even more than happy to cut off my head for her,” defended Baby Robbie.Laurel said, “That’s nonsense. Your life is beyond precious. How can you simply cut off your head for anyone else?” said Laurel, though while she spoke gently, it was laced with sternness. Baby Robbie smiled silently.The sisters left after seeing Baby Robbie and ensuring that he was alright. However, before Rosie left, she cast a purposeful gaze at Baby Robbie and asked, “Baby Robbie, Hecate treated mommy so disrespectfully. Have you thought about how we should punish her?”Baby Robbie’s eyes turned cold. He had once loved Hecate, but his feelings for her had all turned into sym
Tourmaline Estate. When Hecate stepped foot into Tourmaline Estate once again, everything had changed.In the past, she had been rude and looked down on everyone in Tourmaline Estate because of how much Baby Robbie loved her. Now that she was back as a prisoner, Tourmaline Estate was as extravagant and grand as ever. The people who lived here were some of the richest and most reputable in the Imperial Capital — even the servants that lived here appeared noble.The servants no longer looked at Hecate with respect. Now, they completely ignored her, not bothering to cast her a single glance. She walked along the wide path dejectedly. It was as if she were transparent to everyone. When she finally saw Baby Robbie, it was at the Château de Selene. Baby Robbie was sitting in the pavilion, focused on teaching Laurel. Hecate had been waiting to meet him for ages.“Baby Robbie,” she called out shakily. Baby Robbie raised his head and was taken aback after seeing Hecate. After giv
“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
