The receptionist nurse at the desk noticed the little boy. He had a head of charming black hair and was dressed in a white T-shirt with an armor print on his chest, a pair of black track pants, and a black mask.

The monochrome look of his getup made him look stylish, like something out of an artistic painting. The nurse fancied that he looked just like a little prince from a comic book.

‘He’s so freaking cute!’

"Who are you looking for, little one?" The nurse walked over and greeted him with a warm smile, her voice gentle.

"I'm looking for my—my daddy!" the little boy instinctively.

‘Mommy said I should always be careful when I'm outside.

‘Don't tell any strangers the truth, except for police officers, of course.’

The little guy looked up innocently at the nurse, "Miss, do you know where my father is?"

When the petite nurse observed the boy's face, with his big round eyes peeking from under his mask, she was awestruck with a sudden realization. ‘Those eyes are exactly the same as the cold Mr. Ares’s!’

However, Mr. Ares always had that trademark serious look on his face. Even with the charming good looks he was gifted with, most people would not dare to approach him.

The little guy standing before her was the complete opposite. He looked soft and cuddly and his warm smile could melt snow. Frankly, he was rather irresistible.

"Oh, yes. Mr. Ares’s office is on the ninth floor!" the nurse answered quickly without hesitation.

The little boy was a little displeased. Did he really look like this Mr. Ares's son? Or did he just have a common face?

The nurse’s attitude took a 180-degree turn. She leaned over and asked courteously, "Shall I take you to his office?”

The boy quickly shook his head. "No."

‘This nurse looks pretty but she doesn't seem very bright. If she follows me around, she might ruin my plan, ’ he thought.

At that moment, the elevator door opened and the boy swiftly hopped onto the elevator.

As he went up the floors, the tracker on his smartwatch told him that he was getting closer.

When he arrived on the ninth floor, his current location and the destination marker overlapped.

The little boy exited the elevator and followed the prompts of the positioning system and soon located the room Rose was surely locked in.

On the big wooden door hung a wooden sign that read “President's Lounge".

The small boy pushed the door but it did not budge.

He noticed the copper fingerprint lock on the door and, with no better plan, tried to unlock it by placing his little finger on the scanner. To his surprise, he heard the fingerprint lock click and the door swung open.

The little guy was dumbfounded. ‘Is this fingerprint lock specially designed for me?’ he wondered.

The boy pushed the door open and saw the humiliated figure of his mother tied to a table leg. Her hair was disheveled and her face was buried in her knees. Her shoulders were shaking.

‘Is Mommy crying?’ he thought, alarmed.

He had never seen his mother cry before.

‘Someone must have done bad things to her to make her cry.’

"Mommy!" yelled the small boy, dropping his scooter and dashing toward the tied up Rose.

When Rose heard her son’s familiar cute voice, she lifted her teary face, and there he was. Her baby Robbie, standing right in front of her. To say that Rose was stunned was an understatement.

Her gaze wandered to the fingerprint lock and she realized that her hunch was true.

Her baby Robbie really did have the same fingerprint as Jenson!

Baby Robbie tore off his mask and his small, handsome face scrunched up with anger.

"Mommy, who's the jerk who bullied you? I’ll kill him.” As he said that, he performed an elaborate and nimble roundhouse kick in the air.

Baby Robbie was fairly talented at Taekwondo.

Initially, Rose had signed him up for Taekwondo classes to strengthen his rather frail and weak body.

To her surprise, the coach was soon raving about the boy's natural talent. Two years later, Baby Robbie’s bookshelves were crammed with his many taekwondo trophies.

In the past six months, he had even started to challenge the older groups and performed very well.

Rose helped him put his mask back on his face. "It's dangerous here,” she said hushedly, “let's leave quickly, we’ll continue later.”

"Okay!" Baby Robbie responded obediently.

Before she left, Rose had a sudden thought. “Wait," she said, “we have to find a way to delete the surveillance camera footage. We can’t let the bad guys find out about you."

"That’s easy. Leave that to me."

Very soon, the entire building's surveillance camera footage was erased.

...

The villas in City South seemed to blend into the horizon. The area was renowned as the most valuable real estate paradise in the entire city.

The bungalow villas were huge in themselves but their gardens were even bigger.

The microdistrict had a record-low percentage of the city's population—less than 0.5 percent of the citizens lived there. Of course, only the richest and the most powerful people could afford to live in that paradise that seemed to blend into the heavens.

Jay drove his Lincoln into the underground garage. Swiftly and elegantly, he drifted into the parking spot, planting the car perfectly.

Jay quickly got out of the car and hurried into the house.

He unlocked the security door and a delicious aroma wafted into his nostrils. Jay was slightly taken aback and peered around the room.

"Jay? When did you get back?" Josephine was holding a platter of sweet and sour pork ribs and greeted Jay as he entered.

Jay's mother was setting up the table.

Jay's father was in the recreation area in ​​the living room with his grandson, building a tall Lego robot together.

Or perhaps more accurately, the old grandpa was merely sitting next to Jenson, looking at his grandchild proudly.

On the other hand, Jenson completely ignored his grandpa’s presence.

Jay changed into his indoor slippers and walked toward Jenson. He said casually, "If Grandpa and Grandma are here, why did you need daddy to come back? Daddy was very busy at noon today—"

‘Busy, my foot!’ Jenson thought scornfully.

Jenson turned a deaf ear to his father's words. He continued happily building the Lego robot which was already taller than him.

"Say something!" snapped Jay.

"You chose to come back by yourself," Jenson said coolly.

What he meant was, since his daddy had his own free will and full control of his own legs, him coming home was on him and not Jenson, really. Why should he be so displeased if he chose it himself?

Jay was speechless for a moment but kept his calm as he tried to reason with his son. "Daddy only rushed home because I thought you didn’t have any food for lunch. If you told Daddy that Grandpa and Grandma were home on the phone, Daddy wouldn't have needed to rush home.”

"The doctors said I have autism. Why are you expecting me to say that much? Idiot!" Jenson forcefully slammed the last piece of Lego into the robot's eyes and stood up. He shoved Jay away and went upstairs alone.

"Why are you talking so much now?” Jay called out.

"I guess I’ve outdone myself!" Jenson snapped.

Jay’s face darkened from Jenson's retort.

Grandpa laughed and said sarcastically, “Like father like son.”

Jay was so angry that he almost smashed Jenson’s robot. Grandpa hastily stopped him. “Don’t do it. This is Jenson’s mommy. If you touch his mommy, your son said that he’ll do the same to yours.”

It had always been this way. The whole family would suffer when Jenson threw a fit over Jay's actions.

And it always ended up with his grandma shedding tears for her dear grandson.

Twins do not have the same fingerprints. DNA - yes. But part of the prints are form based on how the fluids go around the poems and fingers. Since the twins will be in different positions, the fingerprints for swirl differently.

    It was only then that Jay realized that the robot was the image of a beautiful young woman.‘Is this little guy missing his mommy again?’ he thought, exasperated."Jenson, do you really want to see your mummy—" Jay blurted out without thinking.Jenson stood morosely on the stairs, his tiny body looking particularly lonely and stubborn. He turned to look directly at Jay and nodded solemnly.Jay pursed his lips. He supposed he should count himself lucky that he had not thrown Rose into a brothel yet. Otherwise, Jenson’s selfish nature would never forgive him if he found out that his father had been bullying his mommy.However—Jenson only missed his mommy so much as a result of a poor decision made by Jay.A few years ago, Jay believed that Rose was dead but did not want Jenson to live in a world full of spite.

    After giving his long and incisive anecdote analysis, Grayson looked at Mr. Ares with a proud and expectant look.Just as he thought Jay was about to praise him for his wit, Jay shot him a deadly look full of daggers."OCD? Autism?" Jay sounded calm but there was definitely underlying anger in his tone.Grayson's forehead started dripping beads of sweat.Grayson bit his own tongue. Even though Master Jenson was a handful and a problematic child, he was still Mr. Ares’s beloved son. The only person who was allowed to criticize Master Jenson was Mr. Ares.If anyone dared to say bad-mouth Master Jenson, they were essentially digging their own graves.Sure enough, Jay said in a dangerous voice, “Grayson, it seems that you know Jenson very well. Why don’t I pass the responsibility of taking care of Jenson to you?”As soon as Jay said that, Grayson's face fell and he begged for mercy,"Mr. Ares, I have my entire family to take care of. Please forgive me. Master Jenson already made el

    As soon as Jay received the notification, he snapped open the homepage of Grand Asia Hospital.When he saw the provocative challenge, the look on his face could kill someone."Master Robbie?" Jay narrowed his eyes and his lips became dangerously thin. "Hehe. Have I been too kind? Is that why some people still aren’t afraid of digging their graves?”The room seemed to drop to subzero temperature and everyone present held bated breaths. All of them feared that they would be the next victim of the president’s anger.‘Too kind? Who, Mr. Ares? As if,’ Grayson thought privately in his head. ‘Everyone agrees that he’s the reincarnation of the King of Hell. Nobody would ever dare to touch a single strand of his hair!’That was, of course, with the exception of the curious Rose.Jay’s potent, chilling gaze fell between Grayson and the monitor. "Did you find who this Master Robbie is?"Grayson lowered his head. Shame-faced, he said, "Our network department has dispatched our best hackers

    Splendid Town.When Rose received a sudden call from Grand Asia Hospital, she immediately feared that the hospital was going to refuse to treat her seriously ill mother."Miss Rose, we’re pleased to inform you that the admission application that you’ve submitted to our hospital yesterday has been accepted. Due to the special nature of your mother's case, the hospital made an exception for her and allowed her to be hospitalized in Grand Asia Hospital. We have already transferred the patient to the hospital in advance. Please pay the hospitalization fee of three hundred thousand yuan within twenty-four hours."Rose was dumbstruck.When she went to Grand Asia to submit her mother’s application for admission yesterday, she was rejected by the staff for various incomprehensible reasons. However, Grand Asia then miraculously transferred her mother to their hospital the day itself without notifying her.There could only be one explanation—Jay had gotten involved. Rose instantly shot at t

    As he spoke, the door was pushed open and an attractive secretary poked her head through.The secretary respectfully said, "Mr. Ares, there is a pretty lady here for you.” She sounded rather excited and gossipy.Grayson told her off, "Don’t you know that Mr. Ares's office prohibits females from entering arbitrarily? Send her away.”Jay actually wondered momentarily if it was the accursed woman, Rose. However, when he heard the secretary describing the woman as pretty, he dismissed the thought.‘That mundane and shapeless Rose with her dated style could never be described with that word.’The secretary closed the door and returned to the reception desk. She said demurely, "I’m sorry, Miss. Mr. Ares isn’t accepting guests now.”Rose lifted her chestnut curls and took a deep breath to suppress her anger. Then she huffed, "Your president invited me himself. What’s the meaning of him turning me away now? I’ve already done my part and surrendered. Why is he treating me like I’m less th

    In any case, Rose would not have dared to identify herself to Jenson. Seeing him was already a blessing she was grateful for."I accept!" Rose said assertively, loud and clear as she stared into Jay's deterrent eyes.Her gaze fell on the pen in Jay's hand but Jay tightened his grip on it as if he did not mean to lend it to her at all.Unperturbed, Rose opened her delicate leather handbag to get a pen to sign the contract.Jay watched closely as Rose took out the contents in her bag one by one and placed them on his desk. His eyes suddenly fell on the transparent cosmetic bottle and he frowned at the unusual foamy liquid inside it.‘Pepper spray?’Rose finally felt a pen at the bottom of her bag and put all the contents back inside, one by one. When she picked up the pepper-spray, she saw Jay' scoff."I thought only fragile bimbos carried things like that. I didn’t know all women owned them!” Jay sneered.Rose did not get angry but smiled instead. "I only take it out rarely depe

    Rose placed the Lego gift on the table in front of Jenson and deftly unboxed the package. She tried to break the ice with Jenson as she took out the parts inside and started assembling Lego pieces."Jenson, how about a race? Let’s see who can build faster."Jay went upstairs and just overheard Rose's overreaching challenge to Jenson. A fresh sneer appeared on his face.Jay had personally taught Jenson how to program. Assembling even the most complicated Lego model was a piece of cake for him.‘An uneducated wench like Rose probably never even heard of programming. Is she really that naive to think that she’ll be able to put together that Batman model?’Jenson did not immediately give Rose an answer.Instead, he silently grabbed the Lego from Rose's hand, glanced at the clock on the wall, and began to piece them together.Rose looked surprised. ‘Did Jenson just agree to compete with me?’What followed was a lengthy session of building Legos!Jay changed into his work clothes an

    “Children shouldn't swear," Rose reprimanded Jenson reproachfully.Jenson glared at her and stormed upstairs, locking his room door behind him.Rose stared at the shut door and let out a sad sigh.‘What should I do with Jenson?’He was the child whom she owed the most.She did not know how to even begin to make up for the maternal love he had been denied for so many years.She glanced at the clock and realized that it was getting late.Rose went to the kitchen and decided to whip up a hearty lunch for Jenson.The refrigerator was filled with various ingredients but Rose had no clue as to what Jenson would like. At that moment, she had never felt more sorry for Jenson—she had failed as his mother.In the end, she made a few dishes that Baby Robbie would have liked. ‘Since Baby Robbie and Jenson have the same genes, they probably have the same taste buds!’ she thought hopefully.Rose prepared a savory meal consisting of sweet and sour pork ribs, red braised beef, a plate of “An

    “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
