Rose held his gaze and said with a shy expression, "You’ve misunderstood. I wasn’t bullied by him!""I want to check!" His voice was domineering."How are you going to check?" Rose wondered.Almost immediately, Jay leaned down...She was suddenly depressed.She knew this guy would take advantage of her by making excuses. How hateful!That night, Rose went through mental torture and physical ruin. Driven by panic, she fell asleep unconsciously. She slept till late morning the next day until she woke up naturally.Rose had just opened her eyes and regained consciousness, then she sat up almost immediately.Taking in the fresh air, she sighed with great joy. "I'm still alive!"Jay looked at her leisurely. "Are you so very happy?"Suddenly aware that there was someone next to her, she restrained her expression of ecstasy. She said something humble, "Sir Ares, you’re awake!"Jay pulled her into his arms. "Join me for a little more sleep.""Aren’t you going to work?""Today's
Josephine turned to Jay once again. "Big Brother, why’d you hang up my call?" "Isn't it annoying for one’s sleep to be disturbed so early in the morning?" Jay's tone still contained a hint of unhappiness after being disturbed.Josephine, "..." "Big Brother, it's already late in the morning. Is it still considered early?" "Don’t you understand marital bliss?" Her brother’s expression was dark.Josephine’s elegant face twitched. "Got it. I'll pay attention next time."“What are you doing here again?" His attitude remained cold. Josephine felt that her elder brother was treating her unfairly, so she sniffed sadly. "I'm here to see you guys.""Since you’ve seen us now, can you go back?" Jay was not in a good mood when in front of this woman who had not explained sincerely.Josephine immediately took Rose's arm and asked, "Big Brother, can I take Sister-in-law out to hang out?""No." The refusal was decisive."Why?" Josephine and Rose protested in unison."I'm afraid you’ll
Jay glanced at Rose who was silent on the side, his voice becoming inexplicably warmer. "She’ll have me to take care of her if she becomes disabled."Josephine, "..."Rose, "......"What kind of logic was this? "You’re being partial," Josephine muttered.Jay held Rose's hand in front of Josephine and said, "It’s my duty to love her."Josephine rolled her eyes a few times, picked up her plate of food, and walked out. "I can't stand this."Rose pulled her hand away and murmured with dissatisfaction, "Sir Ares, Josephine just fell out of love. We’ll hurt her if we put on this show in front of her."“Are we putting on a show?" He raised his eyebrows, questioning her.He had been so serious about marrying her, yet she thought it was an act?“Aren’t we?" Rose asked.As he took a bite of the scone, the expression on his handsome face was darker than the bottom of a pan.Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Rose, who had initially wanted to open her mouth to request to leave, did not
Rose took Josephine's hand and said with a smile, "Sir Ares, ladies first."At this, Jay’s handsome face froze.He had been repeatedly abandoned by his newlywed wife and his all the while proud heart could not avoid the serious damage."Go ahead." He pretended to be magnanimous.Josephine and Rose left happily.Jay watched their retreating back as his eyes sunk.The surrounding scenery of Garden Of A Diary during winter was a little bleak. Those ginkgo trees, lush and verdant during spring and summer, were swaying in the wind at this moment. The golden ginkgo leaves were spread thickly on the ground while the bare trunks looked like fangs and claws.Only those blue jacaranda trees were as green as before, upright as a mountain but extremely lonely and bleak.Jay was a little regretful. If he had known that the garden would be so bleak in winter, he would have planted evergreen plants instead.The garden without its mistress seemed even more deserted.Jay wandered around the c
"If your wife isn’t home-loving, it may be that she’s young and her childlike innocence likes to play. Maybe her mind is not in this home. To be precise, she doesn't love you enough."Jay asked, "Then, what should I do to make her like this home?""Women are actually very contentious. If you treat her well, she’ll become proud as a result of being pampered. Appropriately giving her some sense of crisis can not only test her sincerity toward you but also make her reflect on her conduct and deeds so that she can become a qualified wife." Jay listened very carefully.......In the evening, Rose dragged her exhausted body back to the Garden Of A Diary. During the day, Josephine had taken her to Tourmaline Estate, but unfortunately, the gate of Fragrant Vessel Court was tightly locked and the surrounding defense measures were also sealed very tightly that even an ant might not be able to climb in.They went in high spirits but returned in disappointment!Rose pushed the door to
"Have you had dinner?" he asked lightly.Rose shook her head. In fact, she was so hungry that her chest was stuck to her back. She had deliberately come back early so that she could have dinner with him tonight.She did not expect to witness a heartbreaking scene instead."I'm going to make dinner." Rose jumped off the bed and ran away.Staying with him for even an extra second hurt her heart so much that she could not breathe.One corner of the quilt had carelessly fallen to the ground. Jay leaned over and pulled it up. He laid out the quilt for her and when he was arranging the pillows, he inadvertently touched the part of the pillow that was wet with tears.Jay froze for a long time.Had this silly girl cried?The ice in his cold heart suddenly broke and was instead filled with a deep sense of self-blame.His method of testing her was a bit too cruel.Jay hurriedly went downstairs and stood outside the kitchen. His eyes were locked on Rose's beautiful face, which was bleak
Dinner.Rose had made some noodles.When she was cooking, Jay reminded her aggrievedly. "I haven’t had dinner either."Rose looked at him blankly. "Who are you trying to fool?""I threw the steak into the trash."Her gaze fell on the trash can and when she saw all the props from the candlelight dinner inside, her face turned red.Did she really overreact today?Rose handed the bowl of noodles into Jay’s hand. "You can eat first. I'll cook another bowl."He said, "I can't finish it. Why don't we eat together?"Startled, she nodded.A bowl of plain noodles and two pairs of cutleries.Just like this, the two of them took a bite one after another.Rose took a bite only to find out that she had forgotten to put condiments into the noodles.It was plain like water and tasted like they were chewing wax.She secretly glanced at Jay, thinking that he would dislike it, but she did not expect him to eat it as if it was good.Rose bit her cutlery in perplexity. What show was this gu
Jay walked into Rose Manor with a sullen expression as the noisy manor suddenly became silent with his arrival.His eagle-like gaze swept over everyone present. All three wives and their respective sons and daughters were here. It was almost everyone.James looked at Jay with a cold expression. "Jay, this is my family’s affair. It has nothing to do with you."When Jay was 28 years old, Grand Old Master Ares had felt that his body was declining, so the management of the Ares family's affairs was transferred to Jay.This decision had aroused strong opposition from his uncles at the time. After all, they were the elders, yet they were to be controlled by the younger Jay.However, Jay had quickly grasped everyone by their wrists and subdued them. In the past few years, the Ares family had calmed down a lot.Only in recent years as the children from the different families gradually grew into adults, they once again began to stir things up. It was not only those from the third wife’s f
“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
