Jenson knocked on the door. When Josephine saw Jenson and Baby Robbie, she was stunned.“What brings the both of you here?” Josephine wanted to curry the favor with these two little sweethearts, so she took out all of the fun toys that she had.Jenson looked at the smart toys meant for little children and disregarded them.“Aunty, can you not look at us like how a stupid person would? We stopped playing with these toys a long time ago.”Josephine was enraged by Jenson’s toxic comment. “Are you saying that I’m stupid?”Jenson shrugged. “I’m just speaking the truth.”Josephine was livid. “The both of you stay away from me. I’m not going to serve you little sweethearts any longer.”When Baby Robbie saw that Jens had angered their aunt, he quickly apologized. “Don’t be angry, Aunt Josephine. You’ll age quicker if you do, then you won’t be able to marry. If you don’t marry, my dad will have to take care of you forever. But our dad will get old too, so that responsibility will fall on
Baby Robbie imitated the look of an adult as he walked toward Jay. He had a look on his face that spelled out ‘I’m not happy’.“Daddy!” he said timidly, his eyes becoming red as his tears welled up.Jenson was looking through the gap. When he saw how Baby Robbie’s expression changed in the blink of an eye, he gaped in astonishment.Was he using some acting gimmick to make up for his IQ?Jay saw that Baby Robbie was upset, so he lifted him up and placed him on his lap. He asked out of concern, “Baby Robbie, what’s wrong?”“Jens called me childish, so he decided not to come with me!” Baby Robbie rubbed his nose. There was a sorry look on his face.The expression in Jenson’s eyes became cold. What was this guy doing, dragging him into this mess?Jay frowned. All this while, these two brothers had shared a good relationship, did they not? They had interacted with each other for such a long time. They never quarreled, nor had they ever fought each other. Jenson usually kept his silen
It stuck out like a sore thumb.Jay walked toward it, reached out, and knocked on the gypsum wood. The knocking sound echoed from its hollow interior. Jay forcefully pushed against it and the gypsum wood slid to the side.There was another layer of the wall, but it was sealed up with phoebe zhennan wood, so it looked very sturdy.Between the inner and outer layers of the wall was a path. It was pitch-black inside.Jay turned on the torch on his phone and went inside to walk along the path. He saw that the path was made up of steps like a stairway, each step no wider than thirty centimeters. A normal person would not be able to go through it.Jay’s face paled a little. The strands of hair in his hand burned like they would consume him in its flames.Tempest found the chestnut-colored hair in that path. Could it be that she lived there?Could she be considered a normal person, then?“Mr. President.” Tempest’s voice rang out of nowhere.Jay slowly turned around.Tempest watched
Jay had a dream.He dreamt of the day Angeline turned 18. She had worn a white dress. She was young, yet she wanted to resemble an adult. With a hairpin on her head, she also wore large, diamond earrings. Although her look was old-fashioned, his 26-year-old self could not resist it.She was elegantly beautiful, grandiosely beautiful, and bewitchingly beautiful.At night, she had run into his room, took off her earrings, hairpin, and even undid the buttons of her dress.Jay grabbed her hand and chastised her, “What are you going to do?”“I’m an adult now. I can do it with you…”“Shameless.” His mouth said no, yet his body was slowly heating up.Angeline was rebellious since she was young. The more he pushed her away, the more initiative she took. Her laugh was mischievous yet charming. “Darling, you’re lying. You want it!”She closed in on him step by step until she pressed herself against him.His gaze went from her pure, flawless face to her cute, bare feet.He was stunned b
“I’m begging you. Come back, please?”A surprised look surfaced underneath Sera’s eyes. Rose Loyle was Angeline Severe?“Baby, don't you want me anymore? You really don’t want to come back anymore?“Don’t leave me behind.”His voice became weaker and weaker, his tears trickling down onto Sera’s face.A sinister look emanated from Sera’s eyes.Angeline was not dead after all?This meant that she managed to get a happy ending with Jay?Angeline looked at the suddenly motionless man. When she saw his tear-stained face, she became green with envy.Jay Ares would never show his soft side to the rest of the world.As she recalled, he was always cool-faced and cold-hearted. He was the Hades of the business world who disliked getting close with people.As she recalled, his hands were stained with blood.Why was he so gentle toward Angeline and Angeline only?Her hand found the button on Jay’s white shirt.Downstairs, Jenson and Baby Robbie came running into the house.Jenson f
“Angeline, let's get married. I don’t want to wait for even a moment longer," Jay muttered in agony.Jenson rolled his eyes at Baby Robbie. “You heard that. The girl that Daddy likes was Angeline. Before Mommy came back, Daddy seemed to think about Angeline every day. He drew her portraits and listened to her songs. Whenever he thought of Angeline, Daddy would laugh happily.”A look of dismay surfaced on Baby Robbie’s face. “So Daddy likes Angeline that much. Then won’t our mommy be pitiful…”Jenson was speechless. “Mommy isn't pitiful. At least Daddy hid his love for Angeline for Mommy. In fact, Daddy treated Mommy quite well, actually.”At that moment, they heard Jay mumble again, “I don’t care if you’re Rose Loyle or Angeline Severe, all that matters is that you're you. What your name is and what you look like, I care for none of those. I just miss the carefree times that we had together very much. Come back, please?”Jenson’s eyes were wide open.Baby Robbie was confused. “Da
Jay also noticed that something had happened to him. He looked at both his sons with suspicion and asked, “What are the both of you doing here?”Baby Robbie was straightforward and promptly replied, “Daddy, if we weren't here, you might have been…”Jenson stepped on Baby Robbie’s foot, so he kept his silence.Jenson said, “Daddy, Baby Robbie and I were thirsty, so when we saw Sera getting some fruits for you, we came over as we wanted some as well.”“Sera?” Jay’s eyes froze.Her again?Both times he dreamed of dreams like that, they were related to Sera.Even if he was a dimwit, he would have also guessed that Sera set him up.“Go and play,” he said weakly.Jenson sensed the coldness in his father’s eyes, so he guessed that his hints worked.Jenson pulled Baby Robbie’s hand. “Let’s go. We should let Daddy rest.”After the kids left, Jay got up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. He dipped himself in a cold bath and felt his energy coming back to him.“Sera Severe!”Th
A charmingly handsome man clad in a white doctor’s robe and gold-framed glasses walked into the room earnestly.His face was clean while his features were sharp and deep-set. His grin was a remedial one. He looked reliable and studious.James asked, “What’s your name?” “Storm!” Storm answered politely.“Mr. Ares, from now on, I’m your personal physiotherapist. In the coming three months, I'll help you get rid of that walking stick and let you stand on your two feet again.” Storm’s voice was well-paced. His tone was moderate, yet it had a sense of confidence and pride.James nodded. “I hope that you won't disappoint me.”The chief physician arranged the discharge procedures for James.Storm and James returned together to Rose Manor in Tourmaline Estate.Rose Manor, which was once bustling with activity, was now deserted and empty.James leaned on his walking stick as he stood in the empty living room. He hollered furiously, “Where the hell is everyone?”A housekeeper walked f
