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
After hanging up the call, Jay's noble and dashing face was instantly enveloped in thick and dense clouds.Angeline was showing all signs of helplessness that one would portray when living under someone else’s subjugation in the Severe family.Despite that, he could not offer her any help at all.What was he supposed to do?After a very long silence… "Finn."Finn answered and walked in, "Yes, President Ares?"Jay said, "Have we acquired the villa in Apple Street?""We’ve already gone through the formalities. I’ve also hired someone to do a thorough cleaning and sanitation during the day. We’ve discarded all the old furniture and purchased new ones. Do you want to move in as soon as possible, President Ares?" Finn said.Jay gave him a gratified look. "Well done. We’ll move in tonight."Finn was taken aback. He had guessed President Ares’ intention for acquiring the Severe family villa but did not expect him to move in so soon. “Okay. I’ll go and get the car."Swallow City.
Anne laughed awkwardly. "You know that Aunt Sera is injured, don’t you? It’ll be hard for her to do anything, really."Baby Zetty exclaimed in dissatisfaction, "After everything you say, you and Aunt Sera just want to cadge meals, huh? Let me warn you, though, my mommy’s meals are very expensive. Daddy had to pay Mommy 81 pounds of gold after eating a single dumpling that my mommy made."Baby Zetty still remembered Mommy and Daddy’s ‘one meal for a thousand gold’ story.Anne was so shocked that she nearly slipped to the floor. "81 pounds of gold?"How could she possibly agree to pay for such an expensive meal?After regaining her composure, Anne said, "Nonsense. Why would your daddy pay for the meal that your mommy made?"Baby Zetty was just about to tell Anne the ‘A Meal Of Grace’ tale when Baby Robbie interjected straight away, "Daddy said that Mommy is his darling baby. All the money he earns belongs to Mommy. With the identity that Mommy has, she chose to condescend to you be
He thought so. When Jay came to Mount Villa to rescue her that day, he brought a person with him. How outstandingly bold and wise. While seated in a wheelchair, he was able to beat his men to the point that they looked beyond battered and had even succeeded in taking Angeline away from him in the end.A talented and charming man like him pleased women the most. Angeline must have been entranced by his lofty bearing.What she saw that day was all just an illusion!If he went all out, then the Temple of Hades would be the place that Jay and his servant had rushed into instead. He would make sure that they would not find the chance to leave.According to his family rules, though, he was not supposed to reveal his identity before he and Angeline were married.That was why Angeline looked down on him."Angeline, you can't be superficial. Apart from looking slightly cooler, being more charming, and having combat skills that are a teensy bit more outstanding than mine, Jay can’t beat me
Now that Anne had learned the truth, she could finally let go and set her mind at rest."If you don't have money, Mr. Yorks, there’s no need to keep up appearances. This will be the Severe family’s missus’ second marriage, so we won’t set such a high bar. We can negotiate and offer you a discount for the dowry."Her words had not only derogated Angeline, but she was also verbally attacking Cole. It could even be said as killing two birds with one stone. Now that Anne had vented her anger, she felt as pleased as punch.Cole was so furious that he climbed the carved gate and jumped into the courtyard. "Who said there’s no money in this card?"Cole snatched the card from Angeline's hand, then stretched out his hand to ask, "Where’s your phone?"Angeline turned her head away, refusing to cooperate.Anne stepped forward and handed her mobile phone to Cole. "Use mine." She sounded like a benefactor giving alms to a beggar.Cole flashed a malicious smile. "Are you asking me to transfer
“Let me be blunt with you, Mr. Severe. Angeline is the woman that I, Cole Yorks, like. I’ll take her away from Swallow City when I’m done handling my affairs. Before then, I want you to ensure that she remains unscathed. If anything happens to her, I’ll make sure that none of the Severe family members will die a natural death." Cole gritted his teeth, his clear and melodious voice shrouded in a trace of coolness. His voice did not sound furious nor sullen, yet it was able to make anyone feel terrified as if a devil was here to claim somebody’s life."Of course, if you treat my Angeline kindly, then I won’t treat the Severe family unfairly. Fame or fortune, I’ll give it to you."George did not know who Cole was, but at the sight of his haughtiness, he decided against provoking him. "Mr. Yorks, come in and have a cup of tea."He wanted to know more about Cole.Angeline glared at Cole hard and threatened him soundlessly. ‘Take one step into the house and you’ll see!’Cole hesitated.
“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
