“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…”
The rich breakfast suddenly tasted like candle wax to Jay. Spitting his pastry into the nearest trash can, he sat with an ugly expression on his face. Were the children trying to hinder his path to happiness? The three children looked at their daddy… Baby Robbie pretended to sigh like an adult. “Ah, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman.” Jay replied, “The best beauty is not to be found, but to be met. If you have met yours, tell Daddy. I can help you reserve your little wife for you.” Jenson roasted his daddy without hesitating, saying, “Not everyone is a visual animal like you. Besides, not everyone is a pedophile like you.” Jay, “...” “Who taught you to speak like this?” Jay roared angrily. Angeline buried her face in her plate. Jenson glanced at Angeline, an unreadable expression in his eyes. Jay directed his cutthroat gaze over to Angeline and was met with the sight of Angeline burying her face in her plate. Jay did not know if he sh
Jack glared at Josephine. “Josie, what’s going on?” Josephine cried out frantically, “How am I supposed to know? This accident just happened while I was at home, but it has nothing to do with me.”When Jay and Ares arrived at Flying Moon Cottage, Josephine launched herself into Angeline’s arms. “Sis Angeline, they think I’m the one who tried to kill Hiroshi Titus.” Angeline said solemnly, “It’s okay to eat like a pig, but not to talk like one. You’re responsible for the words you utter.”Jay’s gaze was steely. “Is there any evidence?” Yumi said, “The surveillance footage shows that my brother entered Flying Moon Cottage at 6:50 pm last night. Miss Severe arrived not long after. This morning, we found my wounded brother at Flying Moon Cottage after Miss Severe left. Only Miss Ares and Miss Josephine were present last night. If it weren’t them who injured my brother, who could it be?” Jack suddenly said thoughtfully, “Josie can’t even truss up a chicken, so how could she have
She put her lips next to Jay’s ears and said softly, “My love, I’ll help you to protect the people you want to protect. Think of it as me loving the people connected to you.” Jay, “...” Angeline’s words showed her infinite love for Jay. However, she did not know that she was the source of his life and joy. Jay held on tightly to Angeline’s hands as he said vehemently, “Don’t let yourself be bullied when you get there. Even if you tear the sky apart, I’ll patch it back for you.” Angeline smiled sweetly. “Alright.” Worried that she would be bored and lonely, Jay gave her a task. “Use your bright mind to think of this when you’re free. Have you ever offended anyone? It’s obvious that the person behind this wanted to frame you.” Angeline said smugly, “I’m beautiful and loved by you. Lots of people are jealous of me.” Jay, “...” He nearly choked on his spit in anger. “What’s in that mind of yours?” Jay asked angrily. It was a matter of life and death, yet she was not tak
