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
