Baby Robbie was shocked. He immediately dropped on the floor and looked for a place to hide from the bullets. The plainclothes police surrounding outside heard the sounds of gunfire and stormed into the building. Baby Robbie heard the intense sounds of gunfire. He found a bookcase and hid inside it. Through a crack in the door, he could see Jay in his bespoke white shirt with the top button undone. He was as graceful as a sculpture, but at the same time savage as a wolf, especially his eyes that sparkled with a piercing coldness. Under the cover of the police, he dashed up the stairs. Baby Robbie's heart was in his throat. There were more than a dozen kidnappers upstairs, and each one of them was wielding a deadly weapon. He was counting on the kidnappers to not use their guns. Otherwise, he would not have been so daring to escape. The kidnappers were riled and they threw caution out of the window. It would be too dangerous for Daddy to go upstairs now. Actually, Baby Robbie
Josephine could not stop wiping away her tears. "Thank goodness you're safe, Jenson." Rose glanced at the door and was suspicious. "Baby Robbie, where's Daddy? Why isn't he here with you?" She thought that Jay would immediately come to her to discuss the child's custody rights. Baby Robbie hugged Rose. "Daddy came to save me, Mommy. I am so touched. I didn't meet him though, because I don't want to leave Mommy." Rose faltered. She sighed. "I'm sorry, Baby Robbie, Daddy knows about your existence now." Robbie saw how dejected Mommy looked and sighed like an adult. "Don't worry, Mommy. Even if Daddy wants to snatch me away from you, I won't leave your side no matter what." Mother and son hugged each other and cried, as though they were about to be separated forever. It was an emotional scene. "He won't," Jenson said suddenly. Josephine immediately switched to her trademark sharp tongue and chided Jenson. "What do you know, you brat? Your daddy is like a big ferocious tige
Josephine stood opposite Rose and said with determination, "My brother is going to take his son away. Rose, don't tell him your house number!""Josephine!" Jay gritted his teeth and shouted through the loudspeaker.Josephine was so frightened that her face turned green. She covered her mouth instantly and waved desperately at Rose.Rose was silent for a while before she said the house number into the phone, "House number 618."As soon as she told him, Jay hung up.Josephine collapsed onto the sofa and scolded Rose, "Why did you tell him your address? Rose, don’t you know that you’ll lose Baby Robbie once he gets here?"Jenson picked up a banana and stuffed it straight into Josephine's mouth. With a scornful look, he said, "You talk too much."Josephine sat up, pointed at Jenson's nose, and cursed, "Don't think I don't know you, little guy. You’re as calculating as your daddy. I know you’re on your daddy’s side—"Jenson angrily said, "No, I’m not."Josephine sneered. "Hehe, are
Jay suddenly squatted down and held Baby Robbie's face with both of his hands. His eyes were careful. He gave a look that yearned for Robbie’s acceptance, which made him look like an innocent and naive little boy.Rose observed the father and son cherishing each other with both joy and fear inside them. Jay’s love for his son was more profound than she had imagined it would be."Daddy," Baby Robbie suddenly opened his arms and plunged into Jay's arms.Jay hugged Baby Robbie tightly, his charming face blooming with a lovely and elegant smile.Josephine walked toward Rose. As if to give her some strength, she suddenly reached out and held Rose's hand."Daddy, I love you." Baby Robbie kissed Jay on the forehead.This action made Jay's heart throb. It also caught him off guard because he thought that with the unshakable hatred between him and Rose, the children she raised would also hate him deeply.Instead, Baby Robbie’s kiss and expression of love for him made him look at Rose with
Rose looked at him, staring at him blankly.He would never agree to remarry her.He was only determined to get Baby Robbie back.It was because he did not want to be the bad guy in front of the kids, so he threw the problem to her instead.He thought that Rose was weak and would obey him.Unexpectedly, Rose firmly said, "Sir Ares, five years ago, I took the initiative and gave up the custody of the child. I will never do such a foolish thing again."Jay looked at Rose with contempt, emphasizing every word he said next, “An Ares is always an Ares. All Areses will live together.”Both of them looked at each other, stubbornly and uncompromisingly.After a long time, Jay turned his gaze toward the child and asked softly, "So, which one of you will go with Daddy tonight?"Needless to say, those words were toward Baby Robbie and Jenson. Zetty was in tears in the corner.Baby Robbie took the initiative to hold Rose's hand. He could see how weak and helpless Mommy was when Daddy and
Jay felt that he was going insane. He had no reason to give up on such a cute boy like Baby Robbie. ‘No, I must find a way to snatch Baby Robbie tomorrow.’The next morning, Jay walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast and brought out a serving size enough for three people. Jenson looked at the extra plate before shifting his gaze to the dark circles under his father’s attractive peach eyes. He gave out a sigh.“Why are you sighing?” Jay was cutting the steak in front of him and asked Jenson without looking up.Jenson said with much sadness, “Daddy, when did you emulate Mommy by making an extra portion of breakfast? What a waste.”Jay was rather stunned. ‘Rose has such a habit? She also suffers from missing someone?‘No, it’s not the same.‘I’ve only gone through it for one day while she has been experiencing it for five years.’At that moment, there was a tiny ripple in Jay’s heart.“Jens, tell me, do you like Baby Robbie?” Jay looked at the extra portion of breakfast and
Jay sent a message to Rose, inviting her out to a café.Rose looked at that domineering message that said, ‘We should discuss Baby Robbie’s custody rights. Otherwise, I’ll have to use other methods.’Rose sighed heavily. Could she pretend that she did not see this message?Perhaps it was because of Rose’s late reply to his message that Jay gave her a call.Rose hesitated for some time before answering it reluctantly.Jay’s icy cold voice sounded across the line, “Rose Loyle, why didn’t you reply to my message? Avoiding me isn’t going to solve the problem.”Rose shot back meekly, “I’m not avoiding, I just didn’t know how I should reply to you.”Jay was stunned by that answer but only for a split second.He chided, “If you knew this was going to happen, why did you do so in the first place?”Rose trembled a little. That sentence was referring to the time she had sex with him against his will.Rose’s expression turned ugly and embarrassed. She felt fortunate that he could not se
Jay said with a straight face, “Rose, you give me Baby Robbie’s custody and I’ll allow you to keep your visitation rights for the first five years.”Rose widened her eyes in disbelief. ‘This is too absurd. He not only wants to take away Baby Robbie’s custody rights from me, but he also wants to take away my visitation rights in the future!’If this was tolerable, there would be no more intolerable things in this world!Rose stood up with her hands curled into fists as she placed them on the tabletop. With her body leaning forward, she emphasized each word through gritted teeth, “In your dreams.”The challenge in her eyes was very sharp.Jay remained as cool as a cucumber. He was a brilliant king of the business world. He had experienced many negotiations and met many negotiators. He felt that a lowly housewife like Rose Loyle was no match for him.“Name your price. How much before you’re willing to give up Baby Robbie’s custody?” Jay casually said.Rose felt that she was being h
“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
