The kid’s emotions were obvious. He missed him so much, and that made Jay tear up a bit.“I’ll give you my address.”“Mm.”Soon enough, Finn brought Baby Zetty over to Jay’s place. “Mister!” Baby Zetty threw herself toward his arms when she saw him. Finn walked forward, the respect on his face was habitual. “After the kid knew where you lived, she kept pestering me to bring her here. Mr. Ben, I hope that we’re not disturbing you.”Jay caressed Baby Zetty’s soft, silky hair and smiled. “No, not at all.”After Finn and Baby Zetty entered the house, Jay poured them some water. Finn suddenly rushed forward. “Mr. Ben, let me,” he said dreadfully.Jay was astonished. He could not tell if his eyes were deceiving him. Why did he feel that Finn was being too respectful to him?Finn poured him some water and handed it to him with much respect, then he proceeded to pour Baby Zetty some water. Baby Zetty looked at her Brother Finn who obviously could not contain his emotions. She coul
As they had gone through so much together, the kid started to rely on Finn.“What about your daddy and mommy?” Jay was curious. What kind of parent would give their children to an outsider that easily? It seemed ridiculous to him. Jay and Baby Zetty had met twice, yet he had never met her parents before. He theorized that Baby Zetty’s parents lacked in terms of teaching and educating their child. Their love life must be a weird one. Baby Zetty looked at Jay with sorrow in her eyes.“Are they divorced?” He drew a daring inference. Baby Zetty shook her head. “They won’t divorce each other. My dad only believes in widowers and widows, no divorcees. My daddy and mommy are very much in love. In the end, my daddy gave everything to mommy, including his life. Jay suddenly thought of a phrase, ‘An overly ardent love does not last for long’.He was a good man, and he wondered if he received the karma that he should have gotten.“What about your mommy?”Had she left her child and
“Ben, the president wants you to look after us, doesn’t she? Now we have no money for food, so can you tell the president to give us our wages upfront?” The fishermen pleaded with Jay.Jay had a fierce look on his face. The fishermen were blatantly asking him to reason with the she-devil, but he did not want anything to do with her at all.“I have some cash on me. I’ll lend it to all of you first.”Stan Hitchens said wickedly, “Ben, where is all this money coming from?” His tone was full of suspicion.Jay glowered at him with an ice-cold expression in his eyes, making Stan cower a little. He always thought that hopeless piece of trash had a horrifying stare.Tommy quickly diffused the situation and said, “Come on, Hitchens. If Ben is willing to lend us some money, he’ll be helping us. We should be thanking him. Why should we care where his money comes from?”“That’s right,” the other fishermen echoed.Stan watched the other fishermen being respectful to Jay out of a sudden. He f
The fishermen hesitated for a moment while analyzing the situation. They would probably be better off following Stan’s lead than Jay, that piece of refuse, just because Stan had been in the city for a longer period of time.Thus, they took their rage out on Jay, beating him with all their ferocity.“Kill him!”“He’s just an outsider in our village. Nobody would stand up for him if we beat him to death,” Stan said while growling.Finn turned back. He saw Jay becoming maddened with rage, taking on all the fishermen by himself.The fishermen were naturally more muscular and burly while Jay, on the other hand, had a weaker physique. Perhaps it had been too long since he lost his memory, so he forgot that he practiced martial arts before. He simply pummeled at his opponents with all the brutality within him.Flames rose from within Finn’s eyes as he gritted his teeth and growled. “You’re asking for it.”He bounded over like a jaguar. A roundhouse kick swung at Stan, launching him t
Angeline suddenly confessed to him, saying, “I like you.”Jay’s expression was full of rejection. “I can’t be bothered.”Angeline’s mouth gaped a little… The feeling of failure was hitting her like never before.“You won’t give it some thought?”Jay looked at her as if he was silently telling her, ‘Why waste time on something like this?’Angeline pouted but still persisted and started to boast. “I’m a nice person, you know. I’m nerdy, rich, and I know how to pamper someone. There are countless men in Imperial Capital who fancy me.”The corners of Jay’s mouth twitched hard!“Are you sure that those men aren’t after you just for your money?”Angeline replied, “Impossible. I’m the number one attractive woman in the whole of Imperial Capital.”Jay looked at the brand new ‘Ultimate Book of Famous People’ he had just bought that was on the study table, his lips twitching. “That’s because you’re the number one alpha on the list.”Angeline, “...”The conversation had stopped dead in
At that moment, Grayson hurried inside the room and was anxious. “President, Tempest’s condition is worsening.”Angeline said furiously to Jay, “You don’t have to drive me out, I’ll do it myself.” She walked out and left Jay standing there.Jay was completely flabbergasted while his mind went completely blank.Tempest was in danger?He quickly ran outside. “Ms. Severe?”Angeline looked back at him. “What now?”“Can you take me with you?”“Are you refusing to beg me?” Her cheeks puffed like bread in a baker’s shop. She looked kind of cute.It was clear that she was still angry at him.Jay, “...”Just then, he heard Angeline’s exasperated voice call out to him. “Get in the car.”Jay walked over and sat beside her.Grayson drove.Angeline’s gaze was fixated on the sunflowers in the car. She muttered to herself, “Why give me sunflowers? There’s no such thing as eternal happiness in this world, is there?”Jay thought that she was talking about him, but he could not figure out
After she and Jay came out of the ICU, Jay expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. "Thank you."Angeline said, "If you want to thank someone, you should at least show your sincerity by treating me to a meal.""What do you want to eat?" Jay looked extremely reluctant as if he was going to the execution ground.Angeline pondered for a very long time. "Let me take you to a place."Angeline took Jay to a five-star hotel in Imperial Capital and picked a private dining room meant for couples.When Jay caught sight of the romantic flowery room, a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes. However, since he was going to express his gratitude for Angeline, he had no choice but to suppress his dissatisfaction.Angeline sat across the table, and when the waiter brought over the menu, Jay handed it to Angeline like a gentleman."Why don’t you order?"Therefore, Angeline ordered all his favorite dishes.Jay was still hesitating about whether he should order something light for
Was he trying to imply that she looked ugly?Angeline refused to fall into his trap and said proudly, "When I look at my bare face, it makes me wonder where this goddess has descended from.”Jay's lips twitched violently. "What a boast."Angeline said, "I'm just telling the truth."Jay looked at Angeline as she smiled sweetly, and for some inexplicable reasons, he thought that this she-devil did not seem so annoying after all.On the contrary, her innocence actually made her seem quite cute."Why are you in business?" he asked curiously.He always thought that Angeline had a soft and adorable personality instead of the manly and tough personality that she pretended to have.Doing business did not fit her character at all.Angeline let out a forlorn sigh. "This is a promise I made to him."Jay listened attentively.Angeline said, "I once promised him that I can be both a creeper plant that needs support or a sturdy tree that can stand independently.”She paused before contin
