Josephine took off the instrument in an exasperated manner. When she saw Rose, she pulled it over her eyes once more. She asked angrily, “Why are you here?”Rose sat beside her and sighed quietly.“What’s gotten into you, Josie? You must at least give me a reason for why you’re angry at me.”Josephine grabbed the mask open again and said to the beautician, “You may leave for now.”The staff got up and left.Rose noticed how swollen Josephine’s eyes were that she could no longer keep them open. She immediately felt a stab in her heart.How long would it take for someone to cry to become like this?“Didn’t you say that nothing’s going on between you and Zayne, Rose Loyle?”“Of course!” Rose nodded.Josephine was so angry that she lifted the pillow and threw it over. “You’re a liar. When you entered the emergency room yesterday, Zayne rushed over to see you. He was so worried about you that I could tell he cares about you even if I’m an idiot!”Rose was dumbfounded.Why did Zay
Rose did not speak for a long time…Starting from her life experience, the mysterious car accident, secrets in the attic… She had no idea where to begin…“Josephine, I’m not Rose Loyle!” Consequently, she struggled to share the secrets that she had kept for so many years.Josephine looked at her in surprise. “What do you mean?”“You’re not Rose Loyle? Then who are you?”Rose hesitated for a moment. Then, she continued with great difficulty, “I’m Angeline Severe.”Josephine’s pupils dilated in shock. “What did you just say?” She was somewhat in disbelief.She scanned Rose from top to bottom several times before asking curiously, “But you’re obviously Rose Loyle?”Rose shook her head. “I’m in Rose Loyle’s body, but it’s Angeline Severe’s soul.”“Huh? Josephine exclaimed aloud.“Did you have plastic surgery?” Josephine could not think of any other reasons besides this.Rose shook her head again and said faintly, “Seven years ago, I woke up from a car accident and became Rose Lo
Josephine smacked her lips and said, “Did you know that your scarf made my brother’s eyes turn red with jealousy? I still remember his tone at the time when he said, ‘Angeline has never given me such a precious gift!’”Josephine mimicked Jay’s voice, making it sound so old-fashioned. It made the two of them laugh out loud!Once they finished laughing, Rose abruptly burst into tears.Those beautiful memories of her past life had now become scars in her heart.The amount of love she gave Jay was the same amount of harm Jay had caused her.Seeing Rose weeping inexplicably, she looked heavy as the rims of her eyes started shedding tears. It made her look all the more pitiful.“Why didn’t you tell my brother, Rose?” Josephine asked in a puzzled manner.Rose looked at her in shock… The grief in her eyes pierced through Josephine, making her intensely uneasy.“Are you hiding something you cannot speak of, Sister-in-law?”Rose stood up and turned her back to Josephine.Tears were str
The quarrel suddenly came to a halt!Josephine lay on the bed limply.Only an endless amount of pity remained for Rose.“If my brother truly treated you that way, then I'll never forgive him.” Josephine’s sense of justice was clamoring in her bones. “Rose, it must’ve been hard for you to love him for two whole lifetimes, huh?” Josephine could understand Rose’s grief.In Rose’s beautiful eyes, which was once filled with vitality, there was now nothing but stagnant water.“Loving him is truly the happiest thing I’ve ever done. It’s just that loving someone requires a specific amount of power, and mine is running out each day like an hourglass.“I can’t love him anymore, Josie. It’s too extravagant, and the price I need to pay is too heavy for me to bear…” Rose’s face appeared blank and lost.Josephine looked at Rose who was in pain and squeezed her hand distressedly. “Angeline, even though my brother's heinous in your opinion, there’s something I must tell you. My brother may no
Rose smiled sadly. “If I had the heart to expose him, then I wouldn’t be in so much pain and be so entangled in all of this.“Josie, I’d rather swallow up all of the grievances I feel than expose his true self. Firstly, it’s because he’s the father of my children. Secondly… I always thought that if I don’t expose him, then he’ll forever be that perfect Jaybie in my mind.”Josephine’s heart trembled as if tens of millions of ants were gnawing her heart, making her feel extreme pain. “Angeline, don't worry. This time, I’ll stand by your side and firmly support all your decisions.”“Thank you, Josie.”…“Haa!”There was a long and profound sigh!The two women squeezed on top of the single narrow bed and stared at each other.“I didn’t expect that the two of us would end up falling this way, Angeline.”Rose said, “Yeah. I love your brother, but your brother's after my life.”Josephine said, “I love your brother, and I’ve lost the most precious thing a woman could have because o
It did not take long before Zayne came out and ran toward Rose in a fit. He looked up and down at the sexily-dressed Rose several times.“Rose Loyle, aren’t you afraid of freezing to death if you dress like this on such a cold day?”“Doesn’t it look good?” Rose twirled on the spot.She also cast a wink toward Zayne.Zayne hugged his arms and trembled. “That’s so sickening. My goosebumps are coming out.”“Achoo! ” Rose sneezed abruptly.Zayne immediately yelled out, “You'd rather look elegant than be warm? I really do wonder if your brain’s made out of pulp?”Rose pressed herself onto Zayne and held him tightly. “I’m cold, Mr. Severe. You can give me some warmth.”Zayne shrank his neck like an ostrich. “My God, Rose Loyle. Are you actually trying to take advantage of me?”Josephine was crouching on the back seat of the car, quietly looking out the car window. When she saw Rose and Zayne hugging each other affectionately and the way Zayne did not try to push her away, she clench
The BMW door was suddenly kicked open. Josephine looked at Zayne with her hands on her hips in a fury. She roared at him like a lion, “Zayne Severe!"Zayne sat straight on the ground with beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. “I can’t deal with one tigress, and now there’s two of them. I’d rather die.”Then, he lay down on the ground akin to a corpse. Josephine walked over and kicked him hard with her foot. “Why are you pretending to be dead? Get up!”Rose said, “Buckle up the soles of his feet.”Zayne immediately jumped up. “You’re ruthless, Rose Loyle! I can finally see you clearly now. You’d rather side with an outsider than one of your own.”Rose looked at him coldly. “I told you not to provoke Josephine. Why'd you disobey me? You even caused quite a confusion and abandoned her all over again, making her feel broken-hearted and upset. I’m here today, ready to punish one’s own family if justice demands it!”“F*ck!” Zayne did not feel an ounce of love. “I believe it
“What are you doing back here?” Rose felt her voice tremble.Josephine said, “I’m here to settle something from the past.”Rose immediately grew silent.Josephine pushed open the car door and stepped onto the muddy road. Then, she slowly walked toward the ruins in front.Rose looked at her tragic figure, her eyes flashing red.Loving someone when one was young was indeed a courageous thing. It was a fatal attraction. Yet even if one was fully aware of the outcome, one would still get absorbed by it.The final ending always turned out to be so bleak.Josephine loved Zayne. If that love was a tad bit duller and if her love for him was not that strong, or perhaps, Josephine did not go a thousand miles to chase after her love, she would not have been bullied and humiliated by others. She would not be left behind with this sad color of melancholy in her heart. Perhaps, Josephine would still be lucky enough to get her redemption.As for her, she loved Jay. If the accident had not hap
“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
