Angeline walked back downstairs with a downcast expression on her face. Holding on to Jay’s arm, she complained, “Why won’t they pay attention to me?” “It’s alright, I’ll pay attention to you,” Jay answered carelessly. Angeline buried her face between his knees as she said grumpily, “Jaybie, you’re still the person who treats me the best.” Jay ruffled her hair gently. “Did you just realize that?” “Yes.” Angeline placed her cheek against his palm. Jay raised his eyes to look at the doors of the children’s rooms which were all tightly shut. He wanted to say to her, ‘You forgot to tell them that you’re Rose Loyle, their mommy. The children think you’re a new mommy. Naturally, they’d ignore you.’ However, when he saw how adorable she looked as she lay atop him, he suppressed the urge to tell her the truth. “Angeline, let’s go for a walk,” he said, suddenly suggesting. Angeline pushed him toward the door. Today, the sun was shining in the sky, and the temperature was perfe
“Jaybie, give me a minute.” Angeline let go of Jay’s hand and turned around to leave. Jay suddenly grabbed ahold of her hand. Angeline turned and heard him warn in a cold voice. “You’re allowed three sentences with him. Then he has to go.” Fingers fluttering, an awkward expression surfaced on Angeline’s face. “Don’t you think… Three sentences is a bit too little?” She could not think of how she could send a person away with just three sentences. How could it be enough? Jay said coldly, “Young Master Titus! I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else! See you never!” Angeline was stunned. “Oh, just these three sentences? Would they work?” Angeline walked half-heartedly toward Hiroshi Titus. Hiroshi gazed at the approaching Angeline. Her beauty and pure temperament had settled with time, further increasing her charisma. Hiroshi felt the pace of his heart increase. “Miss… Severe?” Hiroshi became extremely nervous when faced with someone as charismatic as Angeline, which cont
Hiroshi asked in wonder, “Sis, how did you know that there’s a rift between Jack Ares and Jay Ares?” Yumi smiled mysteriously. “That’s none of your business. All you need to do next is to throw all your efforts into getting Josephine Ares to fall in love with you. Your sister will reward you with great benefits.” Hiroshi rubbed his chin, a sinister smile creeping onto his face. “Flirting? That’s what I’m best at.” In the evening, Josephine spent her time at Flying Moon Cottage. The maids had prepared dinner for her. Tonight’s dinner was slightly different from the others, for there was no soup. However, there was a bottle of Château Lafite-Rothschild. Josephine took the bottle of wine and looked at it. It was a bottle of Château Lafite-Rothschild from 1887. She smiled as she said, “Such an expensive bottle of red wine should be sent to Sycamore Annex. The reunion between big brother and big sister triumphs their marriage. They could have some wine to cultivate the mood.” Th
“My Angeline deserves the grandest wedding. She should not have to marry me in such a pitiful manner,” Jay said solemnly. Angeline said seriously, “I don’t feel pitiful. There’s a lot of money in the bank card you gave me. So much that I won’t be able to finish spending it in a lifetime.” The expression on Jay’s face darkened unnaturally when money was mentioned… “What do you want?”“Jaybie, the bank card can act as my dowry,” Angeline replied smilingly. Jay looked at her silently before he pulled her chin toward him and kissed her lightly on the lips. “Well then, what are you going to give me?” Angeline’s eyes sparkled as she anticipated her gift from her love. “Myself!” Jay said as he pointed toward himself. Angeline nearly choked on her saliva. As she coughed violently, she muttered, “That’s not as good as money.” Jay pushed her away and glared at her angrily. “You dislike me?” Angeline laughed dryly. “Love, I need the money.” “So I’m not important?” Jay would n
Mrs. Zonder, one of the housekeepers at Flying Moon Cottage, was the one who had sent the wine over. Thus, it was obvious that she had been instructed by Josephine to do so. Angeline was smart. She knew that Josephine would not harm her, but whoever gave Josephine the wine had done so with ill intentions. Angeline was worried about Josephine’s safety. At Flying Moon Cottage, Josephine had just finished eating dinner when she felt her entire body heating up and going limp. Josephine lay limply on the couch as she said, “Holy sh*t, I’m becoming horny right after I’ve eaten?” The door creaked as a man entered. The color on Josephine’s face paled as she realized who it was.“Hiroshi Titus, what are you doing here?” Hiroshi stood in front of Josephine and used a hand to lift her chin lightly as he said with a twisted smile on his face. “Second Lady, I’ve come to accompany you.” Josephine realized that a drug to render her unconscious had been added to her meal. She also und
Speechless, Josephine said weakly, “You’re even more perverted than those scumbags.” “They’re so big, even I’m jealous.” Angeline teased as she helped Josephine dress. “Dare to show me yours?” Josephine asked. Angeline laughed as she said, “Mine aren’t as big as yours.” “Then you’ll have to make my brother work harder.” Josephine teased. Angeline said, “He’s already working very hard.” Josephine pouted. “Dang, you just reunited with my brother and you’ve already given yourself to him?” Angeline said huffily, “How dare you! If it weren’t for the wine you sent over, I wouldn’t have been so embarrassing tonight. I bullied your brother so much last night. I don’t know how I’m going to make it up to him tomorrow.” Josephine asked, “What do you need to make up for? Is he trying to act pitiful even though he got a bargain?” Angeline helped Josephine to her feet. Josephine then grabbed a dagger and glared at Hiroshi. “Hiroshi Titus, I have a good figure, don’t I?” Hiroshi n
“Your brother… Isn’t your father’s biological child. Naturally, your father would not want to give him control of Ares Enterprises.” Angeline did not want to lie to Josephine. Josephine was shaken to her core. Angeline said with conviction, “I suspect that you aren’t your father’s biological child either.” Her words hit the mark unpredictably. “Then who’s my brother’s father?” Josephine asked curiously. “I don’t know.” Inexplicably, the image of the man who looked just like Jaybie appeared in her mind. Josephine and Angeline’s eyes met. All of a sudden, they both felt as if the Ares family was keeping secrets from them. The next day. The early morning light shone into Sycamore Annex, expelling the fog. Even the corridor, which was usually dark and dingy, became bright and welcoming. Holding her skirt in her hands, Angeline tiptoed toward Jay’s room. Hopefully, her love was still asleep. He would not be happy if he knew she had been gone the whole night. Pushing
Jay said calmly, “Is there a day when you’re not acting odd?” Angeline broke into a sweat. It was true that it was not her first time being rough with him, but it was not a common occurrence. “Love, give it more thought…” Angeline protested coquettishly. Jay’s heart warmed the minute she began acting cutely. He pulled her into his arms and ruffled her hair affectionately. He finally began thinking critically. As something came to mind, the expression on Jay’s face darkened abruptly. “There was something wrong with the wine from yesterday?” Angeline smiled and nodded. “You guessed it.”“So you went to Flying Moon Cottage to be a hero?” Angeline did not hear the discontent and sarcastic undertone in his words. Nodding, she said proudly, “Luckily, I made it in time. Else, your angelic sister would’ve been destroyed by Hiroshi Titus.” Jay’s expression was frosty. “The next time something like this happens, tell me. Don’t go alone.” Angeline peeked at his legs… “But…”
“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
