Baby Robbie was extremely speechless and teased Josephine. “Aunt Josephine, you have such a rich imagination. It’s such a waste that you’re not writing a book.”Josephine instinctively wanted to pull Baby Robbie’s ear. Each time she had a squabble with Jenson, she would pull his ear out of habit. Jenson would avoid her hands and give her a death glare in protest. However, the one sitting here was Baby Robbie who had learned Taekwondo. His first reaction toward violence was not to avoid but to apply what he had learned.He blocked Josephine’s approaching hand by hitting back and grabbing her hand. He hyperextended her joints which caused Josephine to yelp in pain.“Ah... This is too painful! Jenson, let go!”Baby Robbie released Josephine. She flung her hands in pain and looked at Jay with deep suspense. “Brother, you’re seeing this for yourself, right? You didn’t believe it when I told you that your little ancestor knows Taekwondo. Now do you believe me?”Jay looked at Baby Robbie
Baby Robbie said, “Am I wrong? You love to gossip and you like to dig out other people’s secrets so much so that you would dig three feet under just to find out someone’s secrets. I don’t know what else you’ll be if you’re not an excavator?”Josephine was so angry that she waved her fist and wanted to punch Baby Robbie. Baby Robbie ran around the house, jumping around. Josephine chased after him for a long time before she started huffing and puffing due to how out of breath she was. No matter how she ran, she still could not even graze her fingers past Baby Robbie’s clothes.Jay watched the happily fighting aunt and nephew while standing on the sidelines. Although he was caught by surprise by the changes in ‘Jenson’ who was now suddenly sunny and active, it did not seem too bad if this were to become his permanent personality.Because their driver was not around, Josephine was tasked to drive them to Kentucky while Jay and Baby Robbie sat at the back. Josephine purposely adjusted th
Josephine was a talented paparazzi. She may be a lady of aristocratic background, but because of her big brother’s request, she camped outside Splendid Town that night.That same night, Rose was having insomnia.Jay had given her a time limit to leave, but she could not convince herself to leave her child for the second time.This time, she was going to be courageous and stay.However, she decided to move to avoid any trouble from Jay.When the day barely began, Rose dragged two large suitcases downstairs as Jenson and Zetty were sitting on top of the suitcases while looking sleepy.Rose had just arrived at the gate when Josephine got out of her car. “Sister-in-law.”Perhaps the sky was still slightly dim, so Josephine assumed that the two sleepy heads on the suitcases were dolls. Her gaze was only fixed on Rose.Rose was shocked to see Josephine as well. She remembered this lady. Rose had assumed that this attractive lady was Jay’s new girlfriend. She just found out yesterday
Josephine screamed out of shock. “This is an actual person?”She took a good look. ‘Who is this if it isn’t Jenson?’Josephine thought that she was experiencing some supernatural phenomenon. She remembered that ‘Jenson’ was at City South’s Horizon Colors last night, no?“Jenson, why are you here?” Josephine was flabbergasted when she asked him.Jenson lifelessly said, “It’s a long story,” he replied with four words.This arrogant boy who wished he could speak less made Josephine at the brink of collapsing once again. “It can’t be. Why are you back to this annoying and arrogant attitude?”Jenson could not be bothered about her.Rose said, “Ms. Ares, if you have any questions, save them for when we get to my house.”Josephine nodded sullenly.Rose moved to a new house at Exuberant City Apartment situated in City South, just a few streets away from Grand Asia.A small two-bedroom apartment may not look spacious, but this one was clean and bright. Most importantly, the window had
Jenson and Zetty heard the quarrel between their mommy and Josephine. They looked at both adults worriedly.Josephine looked at Jenson’s cold and expressionless little face and recalled that cheerful and active boy who was with Jay. She felt as if her heart had been stabbed by a knife.She suppressed the sorrow in her heart and tried to maintain her composure. “Sister-in-law, your appearance has caused Jenson’s emotions to be unstable. My brother has hired Grand Asia’s top specialist to treat Jenson’s condition. His prognosis is not too promising. This child’s mild autism has progressed into schizophrenia. I hope that you can let the innocent child go. Just go along with my brother’s arrangement and leave the country!”Josephine’s love toward Jenson was evidently overflowing. Rose did not get angry. Instead, she smiled.Jenson heard Josephine claiming that he was ill. He scrunched his little nose and chided impolitely at Josephine, “Crazy!”Jenson knew that he was not ill. One day
“Two children?” Josephine experienced an epiphany.Rose nodded. She started explaining to Josephine. “Yes. Jenson and Baby Robbie are identical twin brothers. The reticent, cold, and handsome one is the older brother, Jenson. The energetic, cute, sunny, and handsome one is the younger brother, Baby Robbie. A few days ago, these brats switched identities behind our backs. The cold Jenson and energetic Baby Robbie took turns appearing in front of you all, causing so much distress to everyone.”Before Rose could finish her explanation, Josephine excitedly cupped Jenson’s face and happily cheered. “So our Jenson is not ill after all!”“Yes, you’re the one who’s ill,” Jenson said with displeasure.Josephine sheepishly touched his face and apologized to Jenson. “I’m sorry Jenson. Aunt Josephine misunderstood you.”Jenson despised Aunt Josephine touching his face very much. He turned around and buried his face into Rose’s arms, seeking shelter from his mommy.Josephine was blatantly dis
Rose and Josephine were now conversing after the shocking reveal. For Rose, this discussion was going to affect the course of her remaining life. She might look as if she was engaging in a casual and friendly chat, but she was inwardly being careful with her answers.“Ms. Ares...”Josephine affectionately pulled Rose’s hand and corrected her. “Sister-in-law, just address me by my name. Since you’re Jens and the kids’ mommy, then you will forever be my sister-in-law. Don’t be so distant.”Rose corrected herself sincerely. “Josephine... Now that you know the existence of Baby Robbie and Zetty, I don’t know what actions you’re planning to take next? Are you going to reveal everything to Jay or are you going to help me hide the truth?”Josephine did not understand. “Why can’t I tell my brother? As the father of these kids, he has the right to know of their existence? Sister-in-law, my big brother will be elated to know that Baby Robbie and Zetty exist.”Zetty raised her head and said
Rose smiled comfortingly.However, her smile turned slightly bitter at the mention of Jay. She had loved him over two lifetimes. To forget him was easier said than done.“To be honest, I’m still waiting for him at the same spot all this while,” Rose said softly.Josephine was completely convinced by Rose’s strong, persevering, and steadfast spirit. She was in complete awe with Rose. “Sister-in-law, for what you have said, I’ll protect you under my wings for life. Just stay here peacefully. I will tell my brother that you have left the country.”Rose gratefully said, “Josephine, thank you.”Josephine replied, “You’ve given me three extremely cute nephews and nieces. I should be the one thanking you instead.”Zetty leaned on the door panel and said pitifully, “Mommy, when will your conversation be done? Jenson and I are waiting to be fed.”Rose was abruptly reminded that the time was quite late now. She immediately put on the apron and headed into the kitchen. “Mommy will cook som
