As the villa in Apple Street was acquired by Jay, Anne and the family were forced to move into the Severe family’s residence instead.Lady Severe had already cleared the rooms on the third floor, but when Anne took a tour around the third floor, she started yammering and complaining with her hands on her hips."George, the third floor is too hot. Sera has just suffered a stillbirth and is still very weak. What are you going to do if she has a heat stroke?"George looked at Sera as she stood on one side obediently. He noticed that she did look quite pale and felt worried when he saw that the baby fat on her face had been shed off.Therefore, George approached Lady Severe and said earnestly, "Quinella, Sera has just suffered a stillbirth, and I’m sure you know that she’s at her weakest right now. Why don’t you talk to Angeline and ask her to exchange rooms with Sera?"Lady Severe's face clouded at once. "Angel is also in poor health lately. You only care about your youngest daughter
Sera walked up to Angeline in a soft and gentle manner, flashing a humble, polite smile. "Thank you, Angeline."Angeline ignored her, then turned around and left.The sharp contrast in their attitudes made George dote on Sera more.Shirley and Lady Severe cooked lunch at noon. Anne and the rest had already sat on the table a long time ago, and when they saw the ordinary-looking delicacies, Anne started acting up again.“Quinella, the Severe family is different now. You should be frugal whenever you can when it comes to food. I’m afraid George won’t be able to pay your alimony in the future if you keep being so extravagant and wasteful."Angeline, who was helping Old Master Severe down the stairs, was infuriated when she heard what Anne said."My mother is very frugal normally. She prepared such a big feast only because you’re here today. Don't be so ungrateful." Angeline snapped."Besides, the food on this table isn’t bought using my dad’s money but mine. It’s alright if you’re
When the three munchkins got home from school, the first thing they did was to go to Mommy's room to let her know that they were home. However, when they came to Mommy's room, they did not see Mommy and instead saw Sera unpacking her luggage in the bedroom.Jenson's face turned ice-cold at once. "Why are you in my mommy's room?" Jenson questioned coldly.Sera glanced at the three children standing at the door and said, "This room will be mine from now on. Your mommy’s room will be on the top floor.""Who gave you the right to do so?" Baby Robbie asked grumpily.Sera walked to the door. When she saw Jens’ and Baby Robbie’s faces bearing a strong resemblance to Jay, her emotions were momentarily obscure. She said, "Because I’m the true missus of the Severe family. Your mommy doesn't deserve to stay in this room."Sera had always thought that eight-year-old children were not the least bit aggressive and that she would not be in any trouble even if she told them the truth.What she d
"I can't stay in this house anymore, George. None of the juniors are showing me any respect. I’m too embarrassed to live."George chided Angeline, "Hurry up and apologize to Aunt Anne."Baby Zetty yelled, "Why should Mommy apologize when she didn’t do anything wrong? Grandpa only cares about seniority and ranking instead of rights and wrongs. We, the juniors, should be the ones to say that we can no longer stay in this house anymore because we’ll only end up getting slapped by unreasonable seniors. We can’t even fight back even when we’re wronged. Sob, sob, sob, I don’t want to stay in this house. I want to go back to Imperial Capital. I want to go to Daddy."As Baby Zetty spoke, she covered her face and started crying.George glared at Angeline. "Is this how you educate your children?"Angeline said with a deadpan look on her face, "Baby Zetty is right."George was furious. "Angeline Severe, take your children and get out of here at once."Without saying anything further, Angel
George was slightly emotional. "Dad, Angeline’s my daughter. It stands to reason that I won’t subdue her like that on purpose. I just think that I’ve left Sera and her brother out there for too long, causing them to be humiliated and looked down on by others contemptuously. I owe this pair of siblings, so all I’m trying to do is make it up to them while I’m still alive.”Old Master Severe sighed. "I'm afraid that your guilty conscience has turned into selfishness and blinded your senses as a result."George said, "I’ll be more than happy if Angeline can get along with Sera and her brother, but as you’ve seen, Angeline is spoiled and arrogant. She’s rude and unreasonable to her stepmother, and that was why I said a few harsh words to her in a fit of pique. She actually took my words seriously and planned to run away from home."Old Master Severe glared at George with his bright falcon eyes. "Angeline has never suffered any grievances since childhood. I’m sure you know who was the one
Baby Zetty clammed up at once.Anne knew better than to argue with a child. With a sulky look on her face, she said, "It’s way past dinner time now. Why isn’t dinner served yet?"Lady Severe and Shirley were busy trying to persuade Angeline to stay so they had no time to cook. When they heard Anne urging them to cook, both of them rushed to the kitchen with their heads lowered.Angeline held each of them with each hand and announced, "Dad, my mother is old and in poor health now. It’ll be too onerous for her to cook three meals a day. We won’t have idlers at home. We should take turns to prepare the meals."Anne looked at her well-maintained fair and tender hands. At the thought of touching grease and grime, she immediately behaved in a spoiled manner and said to George, "You know I don’t know how to cook in the kitchen, George."Angeline was uncompromising. "Everyone here was born an aristocrat. Since the Severe family is about to go bankrupt, how are we any different from the po
When Angeline saw Jay's name on the caller ID, she looked as though she was holding a bomb in her hand. She then stuffed her phone into Baby Robbie's hand out of reflex.When Baby Robbie noticed that it was a call from Daddy, he swiped to answer the call with great joy. "Daddy!" His voice sounded cheerful and extremely sweet.Jay was slightly dumbfounded. He was sure that he had dialed Angeline’s number, but why was Baby Robbie the one who picked up the call instead?Was she rejecting his call on purpose or was the phone not by her side?"What are you doing?" Jay could only muddle through and greet Baby Robbie in a cheery tone.Baby Robbie was a talkaholic himself. Daddy could ask him one question and he could respond with ten answers. "We’re making dinner with Mommy. We’re going to make dinner for ten people tonight, so this is going to be a rather heavy task. I can’t talk too long with you."Jay's charming face turned darker than soot at once. "Huh? You’re going to serve ten pe
He then raised Baby Robbie's hand and pointed the camera lens straight at Angeline whose head was lowered as she rolled the dough with great concentration.Jay’s falcon pupils contracted at the sight of the enormous dough in front of her.Furious, Jay called out in a dull voice, "Angeline."Angeline did not expect that he would call out her name and raised her head in a panic. She happened to meet his gaze this way."How can I help you, Sir Ares?" Since she could not escape, she bit the bullet and greeted him instead."The children are so young. Are you exploiting them for free labor?" He tried to fill the silence by making empty talks.He was eagerly hoping that she could get the children to labor for her since they were so vigorous and energetic anyway. She could do anything as long as she did not tire herself out.Without refuting him, Angeline glanced at the children and said compliantly, "Take your brother and sister outside, Jens."As the saying went, many went out for wo
“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
