Chapter 1071
Jay's hands that were placed on the keyboard froze for a moment. A touch of affection surged in his eyes, and ultimately, it transformed into a warm smile that was plastered across his face. 'Holding each other's hands and staying with each other till death do us apart?' That was what he desired.
He was so moved by Angeline's confession that he actually had the urge to put everything aside and accept her confession.
However, his strong willpower restrained his impulse.
With amnesia, his life was incomplete. He did not know who he was before he lost his memory, but if he had a wife and children, how could he accept Angeline's love so rashly?
Seeing that Jay did not give her any response, Zayne said to Angelina with a look of disgust, "I told you, the things you learn from a book are only going to sound pleasant but they're not necessarily useful." Angeline dropped her head in frustration and left.
When she returned to the president's office, Mimi poked her head in with a suspicious look on her face." Ms. Severe, the security downstairs gave me a call. They said that Marilyn is holding a baby downstairs and is asking to see you. Should we let her in?"
Angeline narrowed her clear and beautiful eyes. "What is she doing here?"
Zayne replied, "What else? She's here for her man."
Angeline smacked the table furiously and sprung up from her seat. "Take her to the president's office. Don't let her see Ben."
Zayne tutted and sighed. "Women have the most vicious hearts, don't they? Jay and Marilyn have been husband and wife for several years now. If you interfere and break them up like that, it'll only make you seem uncultured.
Angeline was so furious that she raised her fist to punch Zayne. "Shut your mouth."
Despite that, her fist remained suspended in the air.
Zayne eyed her suspiciously. 'How strange, this brat hasn't beaten me up for a long time.'
As she did not beat him up, he continued to say things to infuriate her further. "You're a president with a trillion-dollar net worth and she's just a penniless pauper. If you steal her man, the public will only sympathize with the weak. When that happens, others will say that you're taking advantage of your power to bully the weak-"
Angeline fell into deep contemplation.
What Zayne said did make some sense.
Soon, Mimi brought Marilyn into the president's office.
Marilyn held Tiger in her arms and looked around the president's office with glistening eyes. When he saw her shrinking and cowering in fear, Zayne could not help sympathizing with her.
"Marilyn-"
As soon as Zayne called out her name, Angeline darted him a deathly glare.
Zayne choked so hard that he could not stop coughing. He restructured his words and said, "Ms. Marilyn!"
Marilyn stared at Angeline and Zayne blankly before smiling sheepishly. "Hello," she answered politely.
Angeline interrogated her with a cold expression." What are you doing in Grand Asia?"
Marilyn answered timidly, "I'm here to see my man."
Angelina's expression darkened at once. "Your man isn't here."
Marilyn explained with a smile, saying, "My man is Ben. He's working here, isn't he?"
When Angeline heard her calling Ben 'her man' over and over again, she was so furious that she clenched her fists unconsciously.
At the sight of this, Zayne quickly picked up a folder and fanned her. "Calm down, Your Majesty. Calm down."
Angeline questioned her whilst keeping her composure, "Ben is your man?"
Puzzled, Marilyn asked, "Didn't you know that already? H
Thinking that they were uninformed and unaware of what had happened, she thought that they probably still mistook Ben as her husband.
She was taking her chances, thinking that Ben would not be able to ditch her as long as she continued to pester and hold on to him tightly.
Angeline was so furious by her brazen and shameless demeanor that her chest was rising and falling. She gritted her teeth so hard that it let out a harsh and grating noise.
Chapter 1072
Chapter 1072
"Take the child outside, Mimi. I have something to say to Marilyn alone," Angeline said, her voice sounding a s if it was covered with frost and ice. Mimi walked to Marilyn and reached out to take Tiger into her arms. She then walked outside, completely ignoring Tiger's ear-piercing cries.
When Marilyn realized that she had entered a lion's den, she stared timidly at Angeline.
Angeline stared at Zayne. "Go and coax the child."
Zayne nodded. Still feeling worried, he reminded her again. "Calm down, okay? Calm down."
When Angeline and Marilyn were the only ones left in the office, Angeline gestured at Marilyn, hooking her fingers toward her. "Come here."
Marilyn approached her fearfully. "Ms. Severe, where are you taking Tiger to?"
Angeline tried to scare her. "To the hospital. To perform a DNA paternity test for Ben and him."
Marilyn was so shocked that she immediately staggered and bolted outside.
"That's my child! You can't take him away."
When Marilyn realized that the office door was firmly
shut and she could not get it to open, she turned around to criticize Angeline furiously, "You're just Ben's boss. Who gave you the right to meddle in our family's affairs?"
Angeline stepped on her stilettos and walked up to her gracefully. She stretched out a finger and gently lifted Marilyn's chin, saying with great disdain," Marilyn Auberge, I thought that you were just a vulgar yet simple and honest village woman at first."
After a pause, her elegant face suddenly turned ferocious. "But I would never in a million years expect to see a greedy, selfish, vicious, and ruthless black heart hiding behind that honest and good-natured face."
Marilyn evaded her gaze. "I don't know what you are talking about."
"You don't know? It's okay. I will make you understand."
Angeline pinched her chin and increased her strength, causing Marilyn to hiss in pain.
Angeline asked, "Ben is really easy to deceive, huh?"
Marilyn's eyes flickered, but she made no reply.
Angeline said, "It's not that he's easy to deceive, but it's because he has amnesia. As a person who knows how to be grateful, he treats you well because you saved him." Marilyn's eyes exuded a trace of guilt.
"I didn't deceive him."
Angeline moved her mouth closer to her ear. It felt like thousands of ants were gnawing at Marilyn's ear. "You tricked him into marriage. That's deceiving him, don't you think?" Marilyn cried out in shock. "I didn't trick him into marriage. He willingly stayed by my side to be my husband and have children with me!"
Angeline's anger spiked. "You're lying again!"
Certain that Angeline knew nothing about her and Ben, she was sure and fearless when she said, "I'm not lying. Everything I say is true!"
Despite that, Angeline exposed her lie in a single sentence, leaving her with no place to hide.
"How old is Tiger this year?"
"Three years old," she answered honestly.
Angeline slapped her face. "You conceived your son with another man, yet you've been deceiving Ben and even asked him to raise your son instead. How shameless can you be?" Marilyn was slapped so hard that she fell to the ground after seeing stars before her eyes.
Marilyn touched her blazing hot cheeks, feeling both furious and surprised.
"How do you know Tiger isn't Ben's son? He's my son. Do you think I'll get the child's father mixed up?"
Angeline squatted down and glared at her with a sharp gaze, saying every single word while gritting her teeth, "Because Ben has only been missing for three years. It doesn't match your son's age." When the truth was revealed, Marilyn's jaw dropped.
"How do you know that Ben has only been missing for three years? You're just making wild guesses. Ben came to our fishing village four years ago. Don't listen to the nonsense that others are saying out there." Marilyn fought like a trapped beast, yet that only made her seem more and more powerless instead.
Chapter 1073
Chapter 1073
Angeline's furious face was gradually enveloped in sadness. "Do you know who I am, Marilyn?"
Marilyn stared at her in surprise. "You're Grand Asia's president, aren't you?"
Angeline replied, "No, I'm Ben's wife!"
Marilyn was struck dumb. All the defenses in her heart crumbled instantly. She shook her head vigorously, refusing to believe the truth. "That's not true. That's not true."
She then glared at Angeline. "I know you like Ben and that's why you're lying to get him!"
Angeline sneered, "Do you think I'm like you? Marilyn Auberge, I'll give you two options. Number one, surrender yourself for tricking Ben into marrying you and illegally imprisoning Ben for three years. That's n o minor crime at all."
Marilyn paled with fright. "No, no, I didn't deceive him into marrying me. I saved him out of kindness. It was done purely out of kindness."
Angeline played a phone recording and Marilyn's voice rang out.
"I didn't trick him into marriage. He willingly stayed by my side to be my husband and have children with m
e!"
Angeline said, "I've recorded everything you said just now. If you want to give excuses, then do it in front of the judge. I have no time for this."
Marilyn gulped as she sat limply on the ground.
Angeline continued, "You have another choice-"
A warm smile appeared on Angeline's face before she said, "According to the law, your crimes are no doubt unforgivable, but there's also no denying that you saved him and brought him back to me. For this, I am grateful to you. I'm willing to give you a substantial amount of money so that you and Tiger can lead a life without worrying about food and clothing. But, you must leave immediately after you get the money."
A hint of reluctance flashed across Marilyn's face. Ben was Grand Asia's founder. When he returned to his position, she would get more benefits than what this woman was offering. Seemingly able to read her thoughts, Angeline said coldly, "Marilyn, if you think you still have a chance with him, then I advise you to give up because that's just plain wishful thinking."
"Ben has mysophobia. If my guess is right, he feels nauseous and sick when he sees you. Now that he knows that you've tricked him into marrying you, I'm sure he will only have a greater aversion to seeing you. If you're still hoping to get something out of him, then you'll only be dreaming."
In an instant, her and Ben's interaction started flashing in Marilyn's mind-
Back then, Ben disliked it whenever she touched him. If she did, he would feel nauseated and sick. She thought that it was only a quirk of his, but turned out it was mysophobia.
To him, she was always dirty.
As soon as she came to this conclusion, Marilyn felt inexplicably humiliated.
Today, Ben no longer looked at her with the same gentle eyes. It was now replaced with indifference and detachment as well as immense disgust and contempt.
Ben rejected both her body and personality.
Marilyn slowly got to her feet and relented. "Okay, I agree to your conditions."
The office door opened and Mimi carried Tiger in with Zayne following behind.
Not only was Tiger not crying, but he was also holding a lot of snacks and toys in his arms, giggling with delight.
"Mimi, write a check for 20 million dollars and give it to Marilyn."
Mimi rolled her eyes at Marilyn and murmured, "Does she even deserve it? You're nice enough to not send a person like that to prison. Why are you still giving her so much money? You're too kind, Ms. Severe."
After sending Marilyn away, Angelina let out a long sigh of relief.
As she looked at the bright and dazzling sun outside the window, Angelina muttered, "It's time for you to come home now, Jaybie."
She then quickly ordered Zayne, "Pick out a date for me. I want to welcome him home."
Taken aback, Zayne asked, "Don't you think that's a bit too hasty?
"He doesn't even like you right now. He may not go home with you willingly."
Angelina started weighing her gains and losses.
She knew all too well how suffocating it would feel to stay with someone she did not like. She did not want Jay to fall into a situation that would make him uncomfortable again after what he experienced with Marilyn.
"If that's the case... Let's wait a bit longer then."
A trace of worry emerged in Angelina's eyes. "But what if he just doesn't like me anymore?"
Chapter 1074
Chapter 1074
Zayne looked at his sister's panda eyes and bared his teeth, saying, "With this face of yours, he won't fall in love with you even in your next life, let alone this life. If you remove your makeup, however, I guarantee you that he won't be able to shift his feet at all when he sees you."
"Really?" Angeline asked, feeling pleased.
"Mm." Zayne nodded.
Cyber Security Department.
Grayson distributed the documents stacked in front of Jay to other employees. Soon, the documents were done processing and Jay walked to the president's office on the ninth floor with the documents in his
arms.
When he came to the elevator, he caught sight of Marilyn holding the child. They both whizzed past his eyes through the transparent glass door.
A trace of confusion flashed across Jay's eyes.
What was Marilyn doing in Grand Asia?
When he came to the president's office and tossed the documents to Angeline, his deep and profound gaze fell on the beautiful smile plastered across Angelina's face.
"They're all done?" Angeline was a little surprised. This guy had always been ridiculously efficient at work but not to the extent where he could complete the workload that would usually take an ordinary person three days to complete.
Jay said, "I had help."
Angeline roared furiously. "Who gave them the permission to be such busybodies?"
She had deliberately assigned tasks for him in hopes that they could drown out his sorrows and he would not think about them when he got too busy.
Jay propped his hands up on the table. "What are you trying to do by giving me so much work on purpose?"
Angeline rolled her eyes at him guiltily. "Capitalists enjoy squeezing out workers like you guys for no reason. What other reasons do you need?"
"But this isn't your style," Jay said.
Angeline grinned from ear to ear. "So you do know that I can't bring myself to squeeze more work out of you, huh, Ben?"
Angeline's IQ would switch off in front of attractive men, hence Jay immediately grabbed onto the opportunity and said, "Since you're reluctant to squeeze more work out of me, why did you give me so much work then? What are you plotting at?"
Angeline,"..."
Jay stared at her in an overbearing manner.
Angeline said, "Alright, alright, I'll tell you."
"I assigned so much work to you just so you won't have so much time to think about getting laid..." Jay, "..."
"What did you do to Marilyn?" Since she refused to come clean, Jay went straight to the point instead. Angeline was struck dumb!
Since he was here, she had no choice but to explain to him. "I gave her money and asked her to leave you." That suited Jay's intention exactly.
Even so, Jay did not look surprised at all. "How much did you give her?"
"20 million."
Jay frowned. "You're really generous."
Angeline said with a smile, "Can I charge it to you?"
Jay eyed her suspiciously. "Why are you doing this?"
Angeline said, "Can't you see? I like you. That's why I have to chase away all the women beside you."
Jay, "..."
Jay leaned forward and stared at her with his blazing pupils. "Angeline Severe, am I worth all this trouble?"
Chapter 1075
Chapter 1075
Angeline said, "You don't get to decide whether this is worth it or not. I alone have the final say."
Jay nodded. "Do whatever you want."
He then turned around and walked away like a breeze.
Angeline was dumbfounded...
'Do whatever you want? What was that supposed to mean?
Was... Was he implying that she could pursue him?
"Yay!" Angeline cheered.
When Jay came home after work, Marilyn was sitting quietly on the couch. The moment she saw Jay, there were mixed emotions in Marilyn's eyes. It was a mixture of anticipation, reluctance, and unwillingness.
"You're still here?"
Marilyn felt as though she was struck by lightning.
"Ms. Severe told you everything?" she asked in a trembling voice.
Jay nodded.
He then ignored her and walked straight to his room.
Marilyn bit her lip secretly. Angeline was right. He
seemed to hate her very much.
Despite that, Marilyn refused to believe that this was the same Ben who used to be so gentle and tender to her back in the fishing village.
She got up from the couch and walked toward Jay.
"I'm leaving, Ben. Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Jay looked a little startled.
Initially, he wanted to tell Marilyn that he would recompense her for saving him.
However, Angeline had already said these words and did these things for him, and more so, better than him. Hence, there was no need for him to go through the trouble of doing it all over again. Besides, he did not want to waste his breath talking to Marilyn either.
"Bon voyage." A blessing was the only thing he could give her.
Marilyn looked at him with longing in her eyes. "Ben, Ms. Severe may have given me a lot of money to leave you, but as long as you ask me to stay, I'll give her the money back and stay with you forever." Jay turned around, a cold air lingering around his icy body.
"Marilyn Auberge, I was initially intending to save your dignity, but since you refuse to be self-dignified, then I guess there's no need for me to show you any respect either."
Jay's voice sounded intimidating as he approached Marilyn step by step. He was hissing through his gritted teeth.
"If you had spread the news immediately after rescuing me and Tempest three years ago, then maybe my family would have found me, but you didn't. My family thought I was dead because I went missing for s o long and they couldn't find me. Did you know that your selfishness broke my family? They were probably in great despair and deep anguish because of you. You deserve to die."
Marilyn staggered, her pupils widening as she stared incredulously at the furious-looking Jay.
When she saved them, she thought that Ben would be deeply grateful for her kindness and listen to her his whole life.
What she did not expect, however, was that Ben would hate her to such an extent.
"Ben, we've been husband and wife for three years. As the saying goes, a day together as husband and wife means endless devotion for the rest of your life. Is the relationship we share not enough to make you stay..." Marilyn's eyes were misty.
Jay was so furious that his veins bulged up. He roared, saying, "Whenever I think about the endless pain you brought to my family because of your selfishness, the last bit of kindness I have for you turns into boundless hatred!
"I finally know why I'm so disgusted whenever I see you. That's because we were never husband and wife to start with."
His words hit Marilyn so hard that they sent her crashing to the ground.
Despite that, she continued to ask, unwilling to give u p, "Ben, can you tell me if you've ever liked me in the past three years-even just a little bit?"
"No," Jay replied resolutely, "I have no feelings for you at all. If there's any at all, then it will only be hatred."
"Looks like I was just being delusional." Marilyn's tears rolled down her cheeks.
She clambered to her feet awkwardly and walked into her and Tiger's bedroom desolately, packing her luggage tearfully.
Jay was sitting by the piano when she left with Tiger dragging her luggage behind her.
Marilyn kept looking back, yet what she saw was only Jay's cold and calm expression. He looked neither happy nor sad about her departure. Dread and desolation filled Marilyn's heart.
Was it true that... what he had left for her was only hatred?
Chapter 1076
Chapter 1076
She pulled the security door open and left with immense regret.
At this moment, a melodious and pleasant tune from the piano was heard coming from the house.
Jay was playing the song 'Meeting Soulmate: Mountain High River Deep'.
Although his words were harsh and heartless, the piano piece he played was proof that he still had a hint of gratitude for Marilyn.
A man was not a stalk of grass or a tree, so how could he not feel a thing?
Marilyn had saved his life. There was also the feeling of gratitude he felt for her for the past three years. Even though she made a mistake, there was no denying that she had given him a new life. The security door closed gradually!
The thin door panel had completely partitioned Ben and Marilyn off into two completely different worlds.
Jay played 'Meeting Soulmate: Mountain High River Deep' with a deadpan expression over and over again.
He was seemingly bidding farewell to his naive and ignorant past.
In the end, he stood in front of the French windows irritably and pulled the screens open.
The afterglow of the sunset shone on the bay window and onto the white-colored easel.
Jay's falcon-like eyes condensed slightly. He removed the white cloth from the easel with trembling hands.
The portrait of Angelina's bare face was staring fixedly at him with a faint and peaceful smile.
Like a blissful girl who was in love, her eyebrows were gentle and harmless while her gaze was affectionate and gentle. Her innocent smile and carefree, lovable demeanor formed ripples in his heart. He was very much puzzled by what he was currently feeling. She was clearly there in his memory, but why did she not find him familiar at all when he was right in front of her?
Perhaps this was just a one-sided love?
He put the cloth on the easel gloomily.
He then stared out the window with a blank expression.
When would his family come and bring him home?
He despised being a loner with no home to return to!
On the opposite villa's balcony, Baby Zetty was wearing a white dress while gracefully dancing ballet.
She was doing a pirouette. Like a graceful white swan, she looked so pleasing to the eye.
The ice condensed in Jay's frosty pupils was slowly melting. A faint and charming smile emerged on his dashing and charming face. "Mr. Ben!"
When Baby Zetty saw Jay, she was so excited that she started running toward him.
Jay's gaze fell on the border of the villa's balcony. He was afraid that Baby Zetty would not be able to stop in time because she was running too fast.
At that moment, his heart started pounding nervously that he felt like he was suffocating.
"Baby Zetty!"
He opened the bedroom door and ran to the living room balcony.
Like a passing tornado, he crossed the moat-like gap and jumped into the garden of the villa on the opposite.
Baby Zetty stood rooted to the same spot in a daze.
When Daddy was jumping over earlier, she was so terrified that her heart had almost stopped beating.
When Jay rushed over, she threw herself into his arms and cried bitterly while embracing him by the neck.
"Why did you jump over? How can you jump when it's so dangerous? What am I supposed to do if something happens to you?"
Jay embraced Baby Zetty tightly and consoled her, saying, "It's okay. Mr. Ben is okay."
Thankfully, there was only fright and no disaster.
Baby Zetty's fear was filled with the joy of their fatherdaughter reunion. "Mr. Ben, you haven't been turning up for my piano lessons for so long. Have you been particularly busy these days?" Jay used his fingers to brush through Baby Zetty's bangs. "Mm."
"I'm so hungry, Mr. Ben," Baby Zetty said with tears in her eyes.
She needed to find a way to keep Daddy at home. When Mommy came home, she would definitely be overjoyed to see Daddy.
Chapter 1077
Chapter 1077
"Where's your mommy?" Jay asked curiously.
"Mommy isn't home," Baby Zetty replied in a pitiable manner.
"Come, I'll fix you something." Jay held Baby Zetty's hand and walked downstairs.
However...
Jay paused in his steps when he walked past the glass room on the garden balcony.
With his falcon-like eyes, he peered into the glass room and saw a telescope pointed at his house.
"What's that?" he asked, puzzled.
Fortunately, he knew that Baby Zetty's mother was blind. Otherwise, he would start making wild conjectures.
Flustered, Baby Zetty explained. "That's my aunt's telescope."
Daddy could not know that it belonged to Mommy. He would flip out for sure if he knew that Mommy was spying on him.
Jay's relaxed nerves were suddenly taut again." Angeline Severe?"
Baby Zetty laughed unnaturally. "Mm."
Jay's charming face turned livid. He finally knew why Angeline kept saying that he was only thinking about getting laid and even expressed her worries about him contracting kidney disease. Had she been spying on him?
Since it was inappropriate to lose his temper in front of a child, Jay suppressed his anger and muttered," Let's go."
Jay came to the kitchen and fixed a bowl of mushroom soup for Baby Zetty.
Baby Zetty ate with gusto. "Your mushroom soup is really delicious, Mr. Ben."
Jay grinned. "I was actually quite worried that you would find simple home-cooked food difficult to swallow since you're so used to eating fine cuisines."
Baby Zetty laughed. "Life is unpredictable, Mommy said. We may be rich today, but we might end up struggling for a meal tomorrow. Therefore, we must learn how to adapt."
Seemingly understanding what she was saying, Jay nodded. "Your mom's right."
Jay had always found Baby Zetty's mother inexplicably delightful.
Nine o'clock at night.
Angeline finally dragged her exhausted body home.
When Jay saw Angeline, he looked very much surprised. "Why are you here?"
Stunned, Angeline lied and said, "My cousin went overseas to treat her eyes. I'm in charge of taking care of Baby Zetty during this time."
Jay said with a sullen expression, "She has entrusted the job to an unreliable person."
"What do you mean by that?" Angeline muttered, sounding aggrieved.
Jay said, "Well aren't you daring for leaving such a young child at home alone? Aren't you even worried that accidents might happen?"
Angeline,
This guy liked Baby Zetty so much, huh? If he knew that Baby Zetty was his own, would he turn into an over-controlling father? "This is my family's business. You... You have no right to meddle in our affairs," Angeline muttered with a guilty conscience.
Jay said, "If that's the case, I'll talk about something which I have the right to meddle in then. What's with the telescope upstairs?" Angeline refused to admit it. "The telescope, as the name suggests, is used to observe the moon."
It was not actually used for observing the moon in the sky, though. It was instead used to observe this fine man standing before her eyes. When she lied, her eyes glistened and her ears turned slightly crimson.
Jay could not detect the double meaning in her words.
Jay was furious. "How shameless can you get, Angeline Severe? What sort of quirk is that, peeping on a man?"
Angeline, "..."
"I didn't peep on you."
Jay pressed her. "If that's the case, why did you say that I'm only thinking about getting laid all day? Why did you say that I have bad kidneys?"
She must have seen Marilyn hugging him a few days ago and that was why she filled up her imagination with inappropriate scenes. Angeline gulped. "I..."
When Baby Zetty saw Daddy and Mommy quarreling, she quickly mediated. "Mr. Ben, Aunt Angeline, stop arguing."
Both Jay and Angeline stopped quarreling for the sake of the child.
When she noticed that Daddy and Mommy were having a cold war, the smart Baby Zetty held both Jay and Angelina's hands in each of hers. She said, "Aunt Angeline, I want Mr. Ben to be my daddy." Jay's jaw dropped. "Why are you asking her?"
Chapter 1078
Chapter 1078
How could this woman possibly allow him to be Baby Zetty's daddy when she had used all her tricks and schemes on him?
Baby Zetty was her cousin's daughter!
Angeline agreed readily. "Sure."
Jay retorted, "Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Puzzled, Angeline asked, "What's wrong with my brain?"
He was Baby Zetty's daddy, though! What was wrong with that?
Jay hissed. "You must be mentally challenged."
If she liked him that much, why did she agree to let him be the father of another woman's child?
Angeline scratched the back of her head, and when she finally understood the meaning behind his words, she quickly motioned at Baby Zetty with her eyes. "No way, Baby Zetty. Mr. Ben is going to be my husband in the future. You can only call him Uncle Ben."
After receiving the secret message that Mommy sent her, Baby Zetty deliberately put on a look of pity. "Oh? It's too bad then!"
Jay stared at Angelina speechlessly. "Who says I'm going to be your husband?"
Angelina said with confidence, "You agreed to let me pursue you, didn't you?"
"When did I agree to it?"
"Today in my office at one-four-three-seven hours."
Baby Zetty snickered. "Whoa, that translates to I love you forever, right?"
Angelina patted her daughter on the head and gave her a thumbs up. "Clever."
Jay was exasperated. "I didn't agree to it." 1
Angelina retorted, "But you didn't refuse either." Jay,
This woman was taking advantage of him again.
Jay stared speechlessly at Angelina, then reminded her with a stern look on his face. "Don't waste your energy. You won't win a place in my heart." Angeline, however, patted her chest and vowed." There's no man whose heart I can't win in this world, only men who I want to pursue or not."
Jay twitched his lips. "You sound very experienced, don't you!"
Angeline looked dumbfounded...
Baby Zetty tugged at Angeline's sleeve. "Why are you talking big again, Aunt Angelins? When have you ever pursued a man?"
Angelins bit her tongue secretly. Why was she always talking about unrealistic things like that?
"If you haven't had pork before, that doesn't mean you haven't seen one running, okay?" Angeline said.
Jay,
"If you like pigs so much, you can go ahead and be one yourself. I'm not a pig."
"That's just an analogy, alright?"
Jay frowned and looked seriously at Angeline.
The more enthusiastically she pursued him, the more fearful and worried he felt.
There were certain things that he needed to clarify with her or he might just end up hurting her even more if she continued to indulge herself in this behavior. "Angeline.
"I think you need to know that I have amnesia. I don't know a thing about my past, but that doesn't mean I don't have a past."
Angeline nodded. "I know that."
Jay continued, "So are you sure there's nothing wrong with your head? Since I have a past, then maybe I have a wife or even children.
"Are you sure you still want to pursue me?" "Of course," Angeline replied resolutely.
Jay's complexion turned awful. Was she not going to reflect on it at all?
"Pursuing a man like me might bring you endless troubles in the future. Aren't you afraid at all?"
"I'm not afraid."
The more determined she sounded, the more he felt like she was answering on impulse.
There was no way for them to continue with the conversation.
"Now that I've returned Baby Zetty to you, it's time for me to leave now." Jay turned around and walked away.
Chapter 1079
Chapter 1079
Angeline was in low spirits.
On the contrary, Baby Zetty was in high spirits.
Baby Zetty took Mommy's hand with zest and enthusiasm, telling her the soul-stirring story of how Daddy had leaped from the balcony to embrace her.
"Mommy, Daddy may not know that I'm his daughter, but I can tell that he still loves me very much. When I ran to him today, Daddy was so afraid that I would fall off the balcony that he jumped over like a tornado, leaping over the wide gap without hesitation. He almost scared me to death!"
Baby Zetty patted her chest, fear still lingering in her heart.
Angeline was stunned.
"Mommy," Baby Zetty called out to her a few times before finally pulling Angeline out of her reverie.
At this moment, her eyes had already turned pink. She said in a choking voice, "He loves you, Baby Zetty. He loves all of his children."
Angeline sniffed, then suddenly burst into tears. "I feel so sorry for your daddy. I still can't find Baby Robbie nor have I received news about Jens. If he learns that I've left two of our children out there, I don't know how
heartbroken he'll be."
Baby Zetty gave Mommy a gentle hug. "Don't cry, Mommy. You've tried your best. Don't blame yourself."
Angeline's tears were like a broken tap-it was impossible to stop.
In the past few years, there were only two triggers for Angeline's tears-Jay and her children.
Although the people around her knew better than to talk about them in front of her, that did not mean that Angeline was not thinking about them in private.
Angeline's lifetime of tears was almost running out with all the crying for Baby Robbie and Jens.
Fortunately, Jay had returned.
Baby Zetty consoled her mommy, saying, "Don't be sad, Mommy. Look, if Daddy can come back to us after what he has been through, then Baby Robbie and Jens will definitely come back as well." Angeline hugged Baby Zetty. "I can only hope so."
Legendary Youth Academy.
After three springs and autumns, after flowers bloomed and fell...
The once childish boy had now turned into a tall, dashing, yet cold-looking young man.
Jenson sat quietly under the peach blossom tree in the courtyard of the martial arts hall. He looked up at the bright blue sky and frowned slightly, a touch of sadness concealed in his eyes. It had been three years since he left home.
At first, he thought that as long as he studied hard, he would be able to use his talent to quickly graduate. With that, he would be able to return to Mommy's side to share her pain of losing Daddy.
Though who would have thought that the requirements for graduating from Legendary Youth Academy would be so bizarre? For the ten compulsory subjects, students not only had to rank first for each subject, but they also needed to surpass the teachers here.
Jenson met most of the graduation requirements for his compulsory subjects two years ago. He also took other courses in the academy while he was at it, obtaining full marks for nearly all of them in the last year and thus, was close to receiving permission to graduate.
The only remaining criterion he had to fulfill was for his weakest subject-martial arts.
Actually, Jenson was not weak in martial arts at all, but rather, he was overshadowed by an outstanding student in the martial arts class. That person was so powerful that it was almost bizarre.
This student refused to drop the martial arts subject and continued to take the first place, refusing to release her bite and giving other students no chance to graduate.
"Jenson."
Suddenly, an irksome voice rang out from behind him.
"Are you a coward? If you're so afraid to take the martial arts exit examination, then you shouldn't have enrolled in Legendary Youth back then."
"Hehe. Just look at his tender skin and delicate flesh. He looks like someone who can't take a beating. I wonder how many fists of mine he can take?" Jenson did not even raise his eyelids. He had no interest in entertaining them.
"Scram." His lips parted slightly as he gently spat out a word.
Even so, it was enveloped in such power that it could send anyone shuddering in fear.
"Hehe, this useless junk is asking us to scram?"
"He won't know how weak he is if we don't teach him a lesson. I can't stand his arrogant and condescending gaze anymore."

"Bash him up."
Having said that, a boy walked toward Jenson with his hands on his hips.
"Get up, Jenson. I want to fight with you solo."
"I refuse," Jenson said coolly, darting him a perfunctory glance.
"Hey, just look at his eyes. Are you looking down on m e?" Uncertain, the student turned around and asked his friends.
"Logically speaking, this useless piece of junk isn't supposed to have such a sharp gaze, but you're right, Boss, he did look down on you earlier." "Hehe, Jenson, you have a death wish, do you know that?" With that said, the boy lifted his foot without warning and swung it toward Jenson's neck. Like a sharp axe, his kick came slashing toward Jenson at a speed of light.
"Arghhh!"
Suddenly, a tragic cry pierced the sky.
After hearing the scream, the boy's friends who were smiling smugly at first now had their mouths wide open. They turned pale with fright as if they had just seen a ghost.
Jenson had yet to move.
The bully's leg was dislocated and he remained suspended in the air as though he was on a swing.
"What happened, Boss?"
A few students hurried up to help their boss.
"Didn't you see? He has a helper."
"A helper? Where?"
A silver light flashed by and a young, beautiful girl was seen standing in front of the boys all of a sudden.
She was clad in a silver-white invisibility cloak. At this moment, she took off her invisibility cloak and revealed a pair of wide-leg trousers and a tight-fitting crop top underneath. Like a stunner, she had a hot and sexy figure.
The girl looked to be about 17 or 18 years old. When she was not smiling, she looked just like an icy beauty.
"Whitney Cornelius?"
"That's me." The girl let out a bright smile.
Puzzled, the boys stared at her and asked, "Why are you helping this trash?"
Whitney glanced at the obedient-looking Jenson sitting quietly on one side and chided the boys, "How dare you bully Jenson? I've taken him under my wing. Do you want me to remove all 206 bones from your
bodies?"
A look of terror was plastered across the boys' faces. Whitney might look beautiful, but she had outstanding fighting skills and was also a top-scorer i n martial arts class.
She was known as the queen of martial arts.
No one could win her when it came to fighting-not even when all the martial arts students in the class fought against her at the same time.
"What are you still standing here for? Scram!" Whitney roared.
The boys fled in panic.
Jenson stood up and was about to leave.
Whitney quickly took his hand and smiled brightly. "I'm not asking you to go, Lil' Jens. Sit down. I have things to say to you."
Jenson stuck his hands in his trouser pockets, looking ever unconcerned and undisturbed.
"I have nothing to say to you," Jenson said coolly.
Whitney took his arm refusing to let go. She laughed." Tell me, why didn't you take the martial arts exit examination this time?"
Jenson glared speechlessly at her and thought,' What's the use of taking the exit examination when you're around?'
Whitney was stunned. Every time Jenson saw her, he would look at her with deep resentment in his eyes like she had excavated his ancestor's gravesite.
