Jay was someone who hated noise, so he shut the windows tightly upon entering.Unfortunately...Sounds of clanging pots and bowls were heard from next door along with Josephine’s random singing of rock tunes.Jay took two balls of cotton and plugged one into each of his ears.After some time, Josephine’s singing finally ended.Just as Jay removed the cotton balls...Rose’s voice was heard.The problem was, it was not an unbearable sound but a sound that could kill... It sounded like a crying ghost who could not catch her breath.Jay sat on the bed wondering if it was a good thing that Angeline’s soul had transmigrated into Rose’s body.His Angeline had the voice of an angel, but Rose did not!While Jay was in his thoughts, the room next door fell into an abrupt silence.Even the surroundings became quiet.Jay took a look at his watch that showed it was 11 at night.‘What sort of carefree lives are these two adult children living?‘I still need to work tomorrow!’Perhaps
“Josephine Ares!” Jay yelled and continued to pursue his younger sister.Josephine could not outrun him, thus she had no choice but to stop and face him.“B-big brother!”If her brother knew that Rose fell off because she wanted to protect Josephine, he would probably kill her even though she was his younger sister.After all, her brother doted on her sister-in-law so much.“So you still know that I’m your brother? Why’d you run away when you saw me?” Jay felt that he should be straightforward and honest with his sister.He could not allow Josephine to continue misunderstanding him!“I’m sorry, Brother. It’s my fault for failing to protect Sister-in-law!” Tears streamed from Josephine’s face, and her attitude was as sincere as never before.Jay felt as if there was lead stuck in his throat. ‘It seems like Rose’s facial disfigurement is true.’He was still holding on to a sliver of hope that she had disguised herself to cover her true identity just like how she always did when
Everyone said that her brother was a cold-blooded man, but it was far from the truth when it came to her sister-in-law.“Big Brother, don’t be sad! The doctor said that Sister-in-law can undergo plastic surgery...”Hearing her, Jay’s voice croaked, “I won’t allow her to go through that kind of suffering. I just want her to be healthily alive.”Josephine said, “Big Brother, since Sister-in-law’s face got disfigured, her mindset has also changed somewhat. There’s always someone who’d stare or talk about her face behind her back. She may not talk about it, but I know she feels disturbed by it. If the surgery can help her regain her confidence, then why not?”Jay hugged Rose tighter. “That’s alright, I’ll let her become happier as each day passes.”Then, he glared at Josephine and said with a stern voice, “She has a weak body. Stop convincing her to go through with the surgery.”Josephine could only answer depressingly, “Okay.”In her heart, she complained and said, ‘It’s not a bad
Jay seemed to have guessed his thoughts and suddenly stopped in his tracks. “Grayson, do you know why in the saying ‘get married and start a career’, you get married before you have a career?”Grayson shook his head.“You should get into a relationship,” Jay said.Grayson inhaled a deep breath. “President, I’m still young.”When Grayson saw how his bold and energetic boss was always worrying over his little wife, Grayson, who initially looked forward to experiencing love, was now in fearful awe of it.Jay stared at Grayson and said with a hidden meaning, “You’re living a carefree life, unlike my Angeline who’s living an arduous life even though she’s the same age as you.”Grayson, “...”Jay sighed once more. “I’ve brought trouble to her.”At the medical department of Grand Asia.Jay had gathered all of the staff and sternly warned everyone, saying, “The medical department has hired a batch of new staff. My wife is among them. I hope that you can all be nice to her...”At that
The matron was rather taken aback. She had expected that the missus’ mood would be volatile after going through such an experience and she would be someone difficult to please. She did not expect that Rose would be such a gentle and soft-spoken lady.The matron smiled. “Are you willing to follow along with me for the ward rounds?”Rose happily followed.She put on her mask once again, changed into the cerulean blue uniform, and followed the matron to the wards.The matron walked in front and introduced, saying, “The patients here are usually admitted because they have a poor prognosis and have almost lost their will to live. Ms. Loyle, if you could treat them with a smile, perhaps they can gain some positive strength from you to hang on.”Rose smiled calmly.“If given the chance, I’m willing to help them.”As the matron looked at Rose’s crystal clear and innocent eyes, she finally understood why the president went the extra mile to pre-prepare for Rose’s arrival.She was a harm
Empire Without Sunset was quiet for some time before he typed, ‘You wish to see him every day?’Rose answered without giving it much thought, ‘Of course!’Empire Without Sunset then replied, ‘I pray that your wish will come true!’Rose typed, ‘Thanks!’‘You don’t need to return the money. I admit my defeat.’Rose was dumbfounded. ‘Since you didn’t come to ask for your money back, then why’d you ask me for a duel?’Empire Without Sunset typed, ‘If you’re unhappy with any aspects of your job, come chat with darling brother here. I’ll counsel you!’...Rose widened her eyes and angrily exited the game.Josephine was sitting at the balcony’s swing chair when she saw the change in Rose’s expression. She spat the half-chewed apple into the bin.“Sis Angeline, what happened?”Rose’s anger was still unsettled as she huffed, saying, “This Empire Without Sunset just flirted with me and tried to call himself my darling brother!”Josephine nearly choked on her saliva...‘Big Brother is
He was jolted awake by such a weird nightmare and breathed heavily once he sat up.The sun was beginning to rise at the horizon.He had lost all interest in getting any more sleep, thus he woke up to get ready for work. He deliberately shaved his stubble neatly because he was going to see her today.He wanted to present himself to her in his best form to prevent her from getting worried about him.Grand Asia’s medical department.Rose had arrived at the matron’s office early in the morning.She humbly stood in front of the matron and bowed. “Thank you for your patience in teaching me.”The matron stole a glance at the clock hanging on the wall, a look of disbelief flashing in her eyes.Other workers were probably just about to get out of bed, yet this lady who was the apple of the president’s eye was more hardworking than anyone else.“Come along with me.”The matron led Rose to Old Master Severe’s room and gave a briefing about the patient’s condition. “His four limbs are po
The matron suddenly received an urgent call, so she hurriedly said to Rose, “Miss Loyle, I’ve got a newly admitted patient in critical condition and I need to go over to handle it. I’ll put the president under your care.”Rose immediately nodded. “Okay.”After the matron left, there was only Rose and Jay in that huge room.Rose suddenly felt that her decision was rather rash.She was worried that Jay would start to make an irrational fuss once he found out about her disfigured appearance.Jay watched as Rose walked around the center of the room. He had seen the unrest, worry, and fear in her expression.“I’m a new care worker here and lack experience. Should I request for an experienced staff from the nursing station to take care of you?” Rose walked up to him and faked a hoarser voice.Jay looked at her without blinking, his seductive lips slightly parting from the surprise he felt.He had intentionally caused an allergic reaction only to see her, yet she wanted to avoid him b
“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
