One was pressing on the other, while the other stayed unflinching!How would the quibble between these two come to an end?Grand Old Master Ares suddenly stood up, and when he passed by Jay, Jay proceeded to stretch out his hand to hold him back.“Let me know again if you’ve regretted it.” Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay’s unwavering eyes.Jay announced to the others, “Dad, escort the others out. I’d like to have a few words with Grandfather alone.”Grand Old Master Ares was startled, yet he hobbled back to the chair.He pointed his cane toward the door and ordered the others, “All of you wait outside.”Thus, the others proceeded to file out the room.Jay’s father thoughtfully closed the door behind him, leaving a quiet space for the grandfather-grandson duo. Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay and pointed to the seat next to him. Then, Jay sat down.“Grandfather, I can explain the two headlines about me. But you have to promise not to make things hard for Rose anymore,”
“That was perhaps due to my negligence last night. The paparazzi was able to take advantage of me.” A layer of frost covered Jay’s handsome face.On Grand Old Master Ares’ hardship-filled face emerged a keen look that could read through the vicissitudes of the smallest changes. “Jay, you’ve lived a quiet life for so many years. The paparazzi in Imperial Capital have no authority, nor do they have power. Who’d dare step on your toes?”“I understand, Grandfather.” Jay’s eyes were filled with darkness. “I’ll make the truth come to light about this matter.”“Paparazzi are certainly hateful, but as an Ares, you should’ve been cautious with your words and actions. Don’t give those hidden maggots a chance to hurt you,” Grand Old Master Ares continued.“I heard from your mother that Rose has left the Garden Of A Diary?”“Yes,” Jay said somewhat regretfully.Grand Old Master Ares looked at his grandson’s unconcealable frustrated expression and felt himself swallowing his anger. “Since Ros
Grand Old Master Ares’ smile froze in the corner of his eyes. “You no longer hesitate to quarrel with your grandfather because of her. It’s as if you’re infatuated and blinded by love. Should I still let you marry her?”Jay replied to him emotionally, “Grandfather, it’s not that I’m crazily in love. I’m merely unable to repay her for all the kindness and favor she has given me.”Grand Old Master Ares frowned with a sense of doubt. Were they talking about the same heroine?“With a snap of a finger, there are plenty of women in Imperial Capital who’ll be kind to you,” Grand Old Master Ares said somewhat disdainfully. Jay shook his head. “No. There’s no one else like her who’ll love me as vast as the ocean.”Grand Old Master Ares was even more confused. He could recall that Jay had mentioned this sentence before, but the person he was talking about at that time was not Rose. “Is she better than your Angeline?”When he brought up Angeline, Jay’s face was filled with a joyous smile.
When the VIP room’s door suddenly opened, the people waiting outside the door immediately surrounded them. Everyone’s gaze was fixated on Grand Old Master Ares and Jay’s facial expressions.Unfortunately for them, both Grand Old Master Ares and Jay were masters in concealing their emotions. Their expressions were the same as always—cold and solemn. It was as if nothing had happened between them. Grand Old Master Ares’ gaze inadvertently glanced toward Baby Zetty’s ward. Then, he said to Jay, “Since her mother isn’t here, you’ll have to bear with it these few days. Once the child is discharged, take her to Tourmaline Estate to play. Bring Jens and Baby Robbie as well. I miss them already. Let’s bring them all back together.”Jay nodded. “Yes, Grandfather.”Everyone was utterly bewildered at the scene. Not only was the grandfather and grandson duo not at each other’s throats, but they were unexpectedly harmonious as well.John murmured lightly, “Dad, Jens and Baby Zetty are the Are
However, this child was not accompanied by her family. As such, the matter was slightly suspicious to the massage therapist.Jay was keen to know what kind of person daddy was to Baby Zetty in her heart. Hence, the long legs that were stepping out immediately retracted.Baby Zetty lowered her head and whispered, “Daddy was here, then he went out again.”“Ah.” The therapist stopped inquiring. It was not a surprise for her that a child would have thoughtless parents. However, the man behind the curtain was shocked by Baby Zetty’s answer.Baby Zetty clearly knew that he was her father, right?Why did she still call him Uncle?“Zetty, you’re so beautiful and adorable. Mommy and Daddy must love you to death,” the therapist chatted with Baby Zetty. It was to distract the child from the discomfort, and she also thought that Baby Zetty was truly cute.“Mommy loves me, but my Daddy doesn’t love me,” Baby Zetty replied nonchalantly. Jay heaved a sigh and opened the curtain. When the d
Upon getting looked at by so many uncles and aunties, Baby Zetty became somewhat embarrassed. She shyly buried her head in Jay’s chest. Then, she opened one eye and looked across the unfamiliar place innocently. Her shy action made Jay smile gently. “Are you being shy?”Baby Zetty hugged his neck and asked timidly, “Uncle, why are they looking at me?”Jay scanned the hall with a stern gaze, and the staff immediately immersed themselves back to work.Jay said to Baby Zetty, “Probably because you’re too cute.”Baby Zetty stared at Jay blankly.“What is it?” Jay asked her.“Uncle, it’s the first time you’re praising Baby Zetty.” Zetty could not hide the surprise in her eyes.Jay frowned. “Is that so?”At that moment, he wanted to selectively forget all the memories of him being indifferent toward Baby Zetty in the past.“I’ll remember to always compliment you from now on and no longer try to suppress my praises.”Baby Zetty’s eyes showed a smile, her precious dark pupils pure
Grayson sat across the father-daughter duo.Baby Zetty noticed Grayson and immediately called out sweetly, “Good day to you, Uncle.”Grayson was so startled that his jaw almost fell to the floor. ‘What is this… Perhaps the Ares family’s gene finally mutated itself?’The highly cold, domineering genes that were unapproachable had finally mutated into something more humane.“Baby Zetty, did you grow up eating sweets? Why are you so adorably sweet?” Grayson was utterly charmed by Baby Zetty that he could not help but reach out and rub Zetty’s hair.Jay’s murderous glare shot onto Grayson’s hand.“Take it away, your hands are dirty.”Grayson felt a stab!“I just washed my hands, Mr. Ares.”“Stay away from my Baby Zetty.”Zetty looked at the aggressive Jay and the pitiful Grayson. Suddenly, she reached out and placed Grayson’s hand on her head.Jay, “...” ‘Is she doing this to go against him?’Grayson, “...” ‘Why is this kid so cute?’Baby Zetty preached at Jay, “It’s wrong for
Swallow City, at the Severe family’s courtyard.The architecture style had the courtyard houses closely overlap one another. The ancient tree reached high to the sky as vines climbed on the black railings inlaid with iron and stone. The bougainvillea flowering season was at its most exuberant, and as far as eyes could see, the ribbons of red flowers were winding away. Other than the bougainvillea flower belts, the courtyard was filled with the autumn breeze. The fallen leaves were withered, and the fallen yellow leaves on the ground exuded a decadent atmosphere.The Severe family was once infinitely beautiful—Just like the scenery in this courtyard. From their oh-so colorful state into plain bleakness, the sight of it would render one to sigh.Outside the heavy vermilion gate stood a delicate and dashing youngster. She had almond-shaped eyes and wheat-colored skin tone. There was a mole on the corner of her lip, and she had a beautiful straight nose.The person was none other tha
