Angeline hung up the phone in a hurry for fear that she would reveal her emotions.Jay stared at his phone in a daze.Why did she not say anything after giving him a call?He tossed his phone aside and lay on the bed. Even so, Jay started to feel a little uneasy.Eventually, he got up irritably, picked up the coat next to him, and walked outside.Marilyn walked out of the bedroom and asked with concern, "Darling, where are you going this late at night?"Jay was stumped. What was he doing?A responsible man was not supposed to worry about other women besides his own wife."I’m going downstairs to get some fresh air." He was in an irritable mood.A bitter smile emerged on Marilyn's beautiful face. She walked up to Jay and looked up at him. Using her keen intuition as a woman, she admonished her husband who was attempting to cheat on her."Darling, they said that you grew close to a rich and influential woman, is that true?" Marilyn’s interrogation sounded so tender and weak.F
“Ouch." Angeline cried out in pain.“Angeline?" Josephine switched on the lights and saw Angeline sitting on the ground with a quilt sprawled out on the ground. She quickly ran over to help her up."Why didn't you ask me to help you?" Josephine complained."I just think that I need to get used to the dark eventually," Angeline replied.Josephine felt a pang in her heart.Angeline was probably worried that she would go permanently blind one day and that was why she was trying to face the dark with a positive mind.The next day.It was a windless and gloomy day. The rumbling of thunder was heard over and over again.This was an indication that a storm was coming.Angeline’s intermittent loss of vision did not recover as quickly as it used to.Her vision was still completely dark.Josephine asked Angeline as she sat in front of the dressing table, "Should I apply the honey for you?"Angeline uttered listlessly, "I’m not going anywhere today, so just a moisturizer will do."Jo
Josephine let go of Angeline's hand without warning and whispered, " Angeline, nature’s calling and I need to go to the toilet to answer. Sit here and wait for me."Therefore, Angeline sat on the bench specially prepared for customers in the shop.Josephine hid in the dark and observed Jay in secret.She wanted to see Jay's actual reaction when he saw Angeline.Jay and Marilyn walked into the store. Most of the time, Jay would hold Tiger in his arms and stand on one side like an ice sculpture while Marilyn picked out the clothes that she liked."What do you think of this one, darling?" Marilyn lifted up a bright red dress suddenly.Jay nodded. "Mm."Overjoyed, Marilyn brought the dress to the fitting room and was about to try it on.Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper came over and snatched the skirt from Marilyn's hand, then sized Marilyn up and down with a look of disdain. At the sight of her cheap fashion, she spoke in a slightly harsh tone, "Madam, this dress costs 130,000. Can yo
"Miss, this mister right here is a good friend of mine. I’ll pay for all their expenses in the mall today." Angeline's voice might have sounded like a breeze, but it was also compressed in ice.The shopkeeper sized Angeline up skeptically and thought, ‘What sort of status does this woman have to speak in such an arrogant and haughty tone?’Before the shopkeeper could say anything to jeer at her, Angeline pulled out a supreme membership card from her handbag and handed it to the shopkeeper. "Here, swipe it."At the sight of the card, the shopkeeper’s face changed abruptly.Although she was just an employee at the company’s grassroots level, her boss would often emphasize supreme membership cards like that in the meeting.Her boss had always said, "Customers who enter our store with this card are the mall’s VIP. No matter who they are, you must treat them with even greater respect than your boss. You must provide them with first-class service and never, never make her feel even the
However, Marilyn pulled him back to the harsh reality, making him realize just how inferior and insignificant he was in front of the flawless Angeline."Let's go." He took Marilyn’s hand and left quickly.After Jay left, Josephine walked out of the dark. Her sympathetic gaze followed Jay as she smacked her lips and sighed. "How did a proud man like him end up with a low and vulgar woman like that?"Angeline's eyes were misted with tears. "That’s his fate after all."Josephine took the supreme membership card from the shopkeeper and admonished her, "Do you know who she is?"The shopkeeper looked dumbfounded. "Grand Asia’s president."The shopkeeper glanced timidly at Angeline, then apologized to her in a hurry. "I'm sorry, I’m really sorry. I..."Josephine turned her gaze to Jay, then asked again, "Do you know who that is?"The shopkeeper looked stupefied.Josephine answered, "The former president of Grand Asia."The shopkeeper was so astounded that her jaw dropped. Could ther
Jay’s falcon-like pupils contracted abruptly. He quickly handed Tiger over to Marilyn.Marilyn, however, grabbed his hand tightly as a flash of panic went off in her eyes. "Darling!"Jay said, "She helped us. I should return the favor."Despite that, Marilyn did not let go. Tears flickered in her eyes as she asked, "Have you fallen in love with her?"Jay, "...""The way you look at her just now… it’s different!"Jay was slightly startled. He was surprised to know that he, someone who had never shown his feelings on his face, had failed to conceal just how much he liked this woman.He had barely caught a fleeting glimpse of her.What was more, she so kindly and intelligently helped him out of the embarrassing situation, taking into account his dignity as a man. He had to admit that he found it impossible to resist such a gentle and beautiful woman like her.Jay looked at Angeline as she stood in the rain. He saw how her green dress was soaked and how she stood there looking lik
The exact same eyebrows.The exact same tenderness.The exact same beautiful eyes and the same radiant smile!The exact same youth and liveliness—so beautiful that it was impossible to be absorbed all at once!She looked just like a sculpture that had frozen in time!He needed to admit that such an exquisite beauty had taken his breath away.For some reason, he felt really happy when he saw this woman’s face. It was as if the scorching sun had melted the winter’s ice and snow.Jay stood there in a daze.As a wise and careful man, he surmised that the reason he was able to draw Angeline's bare face out of thin air was that she existed in his memory.Marilyn entered the room with the Tiger in her arms. When she noticed Jay staring blankly at a portrait, she walked over curiously.When Marilyn saw the portrait, she blurted out in astonishment, "Isn't this the blind woman we met today?"Jay's gaze moved to the pair of eyes on the portrait. Those were a pair of extraordinary and
As if she was reciting from a textbook, Marilyn was always able to answer with great precision. Not a single detail was left out. "Darling, three years ago, you borrowed money from a loan shark and was chased down by them to pay your debt. When you and Tempest tried to escape by car, your debtors drove both of you off a cliff."There was a dull and obscure look on Jay’s face. He could not think of any reason why he would want to borrow from a loan shark.He hated idlers who profited from other’s toils to the core. How could he possibly have anything to do with them?"Why did I borrow from a loan shark?" Jay asked with a frown."Who knows what you did out there? A few years back, you were working out there and would only come home once a year. Every time you returned home, you would dress up decently. I thought you were just an honest man doing an honest business. I didn’t think that you would’ve reached out to those riff-raffs for money.”Jay sighed weakly.When he tried to ask m
“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
