Ch. 1371..1380

Chapter 1371

Jenson locked Baby Robbie's cuffs on the bedside post but unlocked his end. Then, he condescendingly looked at Baby Robbie who was sitting on the bed and asked, "What do you want for dinner?" Although his tone was cold, there was no sense of alienation and indifference that usually made people stay thousands of miles away from him.

Baby Robbie blinked with his charming pair of eyes and decided to show his cute side. "Roasted turkey."

Jenson frowned!

Zayne shouted indignantly, "There are no turkeys. We haven't celebrated anything like Thanksgiving and Christmas for nearly four years."

Baby Robbie was dumbfounded.

Daddy and Mommy no longer celebrated any holidays because of his disappearance?

A touch of guilt flashed through Baby Robbie's eyes.

Jenson looked at Baby Robbie's sad expression and said, "Wait here."

Then, he stepped outside.

Zayne was stunned. "Is Jens defying his parents' order and roasting you a turkey for dinner?"

Zayhne showed another ghostly expression and stared at Baby Robbie with an unbelievable gaze. "Did you use witchcraft on our Jens? Why else would he be listening to you like that?"

Baby Robbie gesticulated his finger to Zayne, asking him to come closer. He was always a frivolous young man, so with his handsome face on top of everything, it could be said that he exuded an alluring charm.

Zayne shivered and stood even further away from Baby Robbie.

"Uncle." Baby Robbie tried to trick him into getting his trust so that he would release him.

Zayne was on his guard and stretched out his hand to stop him. "Don't call me that. I haven't acknowledged your relations with Jens."

Baby Robbie said, "If you release me, I'll give you detoxifying eye drops."

Zayne was slightly stirred up. "Do you really have detoxifying eye drops?"

Baby Robbie nodded.

Zayne slowly moved toward Baby Robbie with a heavily guarded look on his face.

Baby Robbie smiled at him bewitchingly. "They're in my clothes. Take them out of the bathroom."

Zayne warned, "Don't play any tricks on me."

He still obediently walked into the bathroom and took out the detoxifying eye drops from his clothes. Then, he came out.

Baby Robbie said, "Come here. I'll teach you how to use it."

Zayne stood far away from him. "Do tell."

Baby Robbie looked at the long distance between the two of them and said with a straight face, "It's not like I'll eat you. Why are you so afraid of me?" Zayne said in a serious tone, "But you ate Jenson up."

Baby Robbie,

Baby Robbie stubbornly and mischievously retorted," It's evident that he was the one who ate me, though?"

Then, he raised the cuffs on his hand and smiled brighter than a mountain flower. "I was merely the receiver." Zayne was enraged.

"F*ck, how disgusting." Then, he turned and left.

Zayne eagerly rushed toward Jay and Angeline's room, screaming in tears, "Brother, Angeline... It's over now."

Jenson opened the door and gave Zayne a death stare.

Zayne was immediately silenced.

"What's the matter?" Jay asked.

Jenson was blocking the door, so Zayne could not get 1 n. As such, he simply raised his head and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Your little brat is going through puppy love!"

Jay felt like he had heard a fantasy, so he retorted in resolute, "You must be mistaken."

Zayne said, "It's true. I just saw it with my own eyes. He's been tampered with."

Jenson stretched out his hand to cover Zayne's mouth.

Jay heard Zayne's suffocating voice and instantly frowned.

It was as if Jenson was currently holding onto a hostility that was revealing what he intended to hide.

"Jens, let him in," ordered Jay.

Zayne slipped in triumphantly. He then asked, "Is my sister sleeping?"

He scanned the living room and noticed that Angeline was not around. Then, he said, "Good. There's no need to answer me. I know she's sleeping. While she's asleep, I'll make the long story short."

Chapter 1372

Jay's handsome face appeared gloomy. This guy never went straight to the point and always uttered numerous nonsense before getting to the actual topic.

"Your darling Jens brought a prisoner back today, and he suddenly had the hots for the said prisoner. When I went to look for him in his room, I found that they were doing the thing in the bathroom..." Jay coughed twice.

Doing the thing?

His handsome brows knitted as he said solemnly," What sort of thing?"

These were all Zayne's baseless assumptions from the beginning. When he was asked to describe the situation in detail, Zayne was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

"Big Brother, the main point isn't the details of the thing. Rather the fact that he was doing the thing with another..."

Jay knew that Zayne was on edge and liked exaggerating. However, if he did not have conclusive evidence for this kind of thing, he should not be making rash judgments.

After all, Jens had always been one to keep his hands

clean.

"Is Jens dating someone?" Angeline's excited voice was heard.

Suddenly, Jay and Jenson's expressions looked as if they could not explain the situation with words.

Jay got up and walked toward Angelina.

"Jens won't fall in love so early in life," said Jay.

Jenson was relieved upon hearing this. Daddy truly knew him best.

Angelina then said, "If he has a girl he likes, as long as he respects her, I'll be very open-minded and accepting. After all, our family has a history of puppy love." Jenson was in between laughter and tears.

Zayne uttered, "He likes boys."

Angeline staggered and ultimately accepted this fate after stammering for a good while. "No matter.

Everything is predestined by fate and we don't get to choose who we fall in love with. If Jens is sincere, then I'll have no choice but to accept it."

Jenson,

Jay said, "Angeline, don't listen to Zayne's nonsense."

Zayne exclaimed out loud, "I'm not talking nonsense. I saw them in the bathroom with my own eyes. Jenson went and took off the other person's clothes..."

Jay explained, "To investigate the prisoner's identity. It's more effective to observe physical characteristics than the face."

Zayne muttered, "But Jenson also took off his own clothes."

Jay,

He asked with a sullen expression, "Jens, what's going on?"

Jenson speechlessly rolled his eyes at Zayne. "I only took off my shirt."

Zayne replied, "There shouldn't be a need to take off your own clothes when interrogating the prisoner, right?"

Angeline sighed quietly. "My little prince knows how to push himself onto others now."

Jenson,"..."

"It's not what you think, Mommy."

Jay looked at Jenson, who was currently unable to dispute, and his gaze became more serene.

Jay fiercely glared at Zayne. "You may go now."

Zayne smiled brightly as if he had accomplished his lowly intention. "Then, I'll be going now."

After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that Baby Robbie had given him the detoxifying eye drops. He threw it toward Jenson and said, "I got this from that prisoner. He said that the eye drops have detoxifying properties."

Jenson reached his hand out to catch it and held it tightly in his palm.

Once Zayne had left, Angeline was indulging in her fantasy as she said, "I'll make you guys some dinner."

Jay replied, "Your eyes aren't well, Angeline. Go and get some rest. I'll do it."

Angeline stubbornly retorted, "I can do whatever you can do, Jaybie. How about I cook you guys some spaghetti?"

Jenson suddenly requested. "Mommy, I think there's leftover chicken in the refrigerator. Can you cook that up for me instead?"

Angeline said, "Then, I'll roast up some chicken for you."

For the first time, Jay did not insist on stopping her.

Once Angeline entered the kitchen, Jay lowered his voice and asked Jenson, "Is he back?"

If Jenson had undressed the prisoner and himself, Jay could only think of one possibility-Jens was comparing their physical characteristics.

The only person who could make Jens do this was Baby Robbie as they were born of the same womb.

Chapter 1373

Chapter 1373

Jenson replied, "He didn't admit to it, but his physical characteristics are exactly the same as mine. I'm sure he's Baby Robbie."

Jay's eyes turned more profound and unfathomable. The joy of learning Baby Robbie had survived the harsh world was occupied by a blank sense of helplessness.

"Jens, find a good time to interrogate why he was hurting Mommy. If he's hiding something from us..."

Jay had a pained look in his eyes. "I think the kid must've had an otherworldly experience these past years. If he has truly embarked on a path of no return, then let's not disclose his identity for the time being." Jenson was slightly startled. 'Daddy is trying to cover for Baby Robbie?'

He knew very well that the path Baby Robbie had been walking on was not a path of righteousness, hence he deliberately wanted to preserve Baby Robbie's innocence. The purpose of not disclosing Baby Robbie's identity at this time was to conceal from everyone the fact that Baby Robbie had walked on the wrong path!

Daddy truly gave a lot of thought to everything.

Jenson placed the detoxifying eye drops into Jay's hand. "Daddy, this is the detoxifying eye drops he gave you. Do you want to use it?"

Jenson was obviously skeptical about the eye drops.

If Baby Robbie had turned evil and no longer acknowledged his own family members, then there might be something wrong with the eye drops.

Jay clenched the eye drops in his palm and said with a smile, "No matter which path he has chosen to walk on, as his father, I'm willing to put my faith in him forever. He's still the same kind-hearted child that I know."

Once Jenson understood his father's way of thinking, he said, "Then, I'll help Daddy apply the eye drops."

Jay nodded.

Jenson carefully dropped a couple of drops into Jay's eyes.

Suddenly, Jay's extremely dry eyes turned cool and moist. His eyes' comfort level was significantly improved.

"How is it, Daddy?" Jenson asked nervously.

Jay replied, "The effect isn't bad."

Jenson breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Angeline walked in cautiously while holding a plate of roasted chicken. Jenson sprinted forward and took Mommy's plate.

"Jens, how about giving it a taste?" Angeline smiled.

Angeline seemed to always be gentler in front of her children.

Jenson said, "The skin looks crispy and the inside looks moist, Mommy. The flavor should turn out great as well. Then, I'll be taking it away now." Angeline uttered, "Aren't you eating it here?"

Jay replied, "The kid is refraining himself from disturbing a couple of lovebirds."

Angeline retorted, "We're an old pair of lovebirds now. Is there a need to be so romantic?"

Jay,

Angeline could not see anything either, so she did not notice Jay's hurt expression.

Jenson took the roasted chicken back into his bedroom.

With his arms resting on the back of his head, Baby Robbie looked at Jenson in a calm and unruffled manner. "How long are you going to imprison me for?" Jenson placed the plate on the bedside table and said, "The moment you change from your evil ways back into the path of righteousness, I'll let you go." Baby Robbie smiled. "Do you really think that I'm wicked beyond redemption and heinously evil?"

Jenson hugged his arms and stared at Baby Robbie. "If

you're not, then why did you hurt Daddy and Mommy?"

Baby Robbie felt aggrieved. "He was wearing a mask. I couldn't recognize him."

Baby Robbie told him the reason why he accidentally hurt their daddy. However, it was apparent that Jenson was not at all satisfied with the answer to this question.

"I was asking why you hurt him," Jenson said angrily," Just because you couldn't recognize him, it's not a legitimate reason for you to hurt others!" Baby Robbie's tears started rolling down his face." Why are you so fierce?"

Jenson said indignantly, "Don't you put on such an act in front of me. You hurt Mommy and Daddy. I'm already being very polite to you right now."

Baby Robbie could not hide his concern for Mommy and Daddy. "That detoxifying eye drops can heal your daddy and mommy's eyes."

Jenson was stunned. Baby Robbie used the word 'your ' to address both their parents. He was instantly fuming with anger.

Chapter 1374

Chapter 1374

Baby Robbie was truly walking on a path of evil, no longer recognizing his own family.

Baby Robbie looked at Jenson, who was enraged, and quickly changed the subject by saying, "I'm hungry."

Jenson picked up the plate and angrily ripped apart a drumstick from the body of the chicken. It was as if he was tearing apart Baby Robbie who was making him fume.

Baby Robbie trembled but still smiled at him.

Then, Jenson shoved the whole drumstick into his mouth.

Baby Robbie could feel his mouth blistering from the heat, but he was not willing to spit the chicken out.

He merely glared at Jenson and mumbled, "If you shove the whole thing, then I can't taste the chicken's flavor."

Jenson took it out and blew on it before letting him have another bite.

Baby Robbie chewed slowly this time around, then he frowned. "No salt?"

Jenson said, "After my mommy went blind, my daddy has been the one taking care of her. This is her first

time cooking up a meal after going blind. You're still nitpicking?"

There was a glisten in Baby Robbie's eyes. "Alright, alright. The flavor's not bad at all."

While eating their meals, the brothers were in a constant battle of words.

Jenson was on the offense while Baby Robbie was in defense mode.

Ultimately, Jenson concluded that Baby Robbie had not become utterly heartless just yet.

Baby Robbie reached his own conclusion as well, that his big brother was not someone he should be messing with. He was becoming more and more like Daddy. He had a brain that could come up with numerous plots, and one would fall into his pit if they failed to pay attention.

After the meal, Jenson suddenly asked without warning, "Tell me, why did you hurt my daddy and mommy?"

Baby Robbie thought that he had successfully evaded this blunder earlier. He did not expect that Jenson would revisit the question. It seemed that it was impossible for him not to answer it.

"I saw his Doomsday admiral token on the plane. I have a grudge against Doomsday, so I followed him all the way here. I've been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge." Baby Robbie tried to play it down. However, Jenson was not sparing him. "What grudge do you have against the Doomsday admiral?"

He was determined to make Baby Robbie expose his identity.

Baby Robbie glared at him... Jens knew the reason why he hated Doomsday, but he was still knowingly asking him. Was he trying to force him into admitting his identity?

"Doomsday killed my father," Baby Robbie muttered.

Jenson asked, "Your dad is dead?"

Baby Robbie shook his head. "Of course not."

He glanced at Jenson's eyes that were harboring malicious intentions and simply sealed his lips in anger.

"I'm going to bed." Baby Robbie lay on the bed and pulled the blanket over to cover himself.

Jenson sat in front of him and said slowly, "What do you need the Nine Paintings for?"

Baby Robbie covered his ears with his hands.

Jenson raised his voice. "The Nine Paintings have been destroyed. Right now, I'm the only one in the entire world who remembers the contents of it. If you want the Nine Paintings, then you shouldn't be looking for trouble with my daddy and mommy in the future. Just look for me instead."

After he was done speaking, Jenson left with the plate.

Baby Robbie lifted the blanket and stared at Jenson's back in a daze.

He pondered, 'This will be troublesome. If we need to extract the Nine Paintings from Jenson's mind, we'll have to defeat Jenson's psychological defense.'

However, who could deal with a person like Jenson who had such a strong mentality?

Soon, Jenson returned to the room.

Baby Robbie was startled. "Why are you here again?" Jenson said, "This is my room, so I want to rest here." Baby Robbie smiled mischievously. "Aren't you afraid that the neurotic uncle of yours will worry about you destroying yourself?"

Jenson's lips started twitching. This fellow was growing up to be more and more unruly.

Chapter 1375

Chapter 1375

Jenson's face appeared sullen. "Destroying myself?"

Suddenly, he took a revolver out of the drawer and placed the muzzle on Baby Robbie's temple. "Don't tempt me!"

Baby Robbie was slightly taken aback. Even so, a wry smile filled his eyes.

Jenson was... afraid he was the one on the wrong path?

Then, the sound of someone slamming the door panel came from outside their room.

Jenson walked over to open the door and saw Zayne holding onto his blanket while standing outside. He was drooping his head while saying dejectedly, "Jens, I had a small quarrel with your aunt and she kicked me out. I have no other options but to sleep with you tonight."

Before Jenson had the chance to refuse him, Zayne shoved himself past the door and walked inside.

It was a standard room, and one glance was enough to see the entire area. The bedroom was connected to the living room, and it was divided by a transparent glass door.

Zayne spread the blanket on the sofa and lay down facing the direction of the bedroom. He was looking

straight at Baby Robbie.

Baby Robbie had a lively and mischievous temperament. He deliberately lay sideways on the bed and poked his head toward Zayne.

"You fought with your wife?" Baby Robbie happily teased him. "If you guys are quarreling, why are you the one who gets kicked out and not your wife?"

Zayne was a man living under the shadow of his wife. Even though he loved his wife very much, he was most afraid that others would look down on him for being henpecked. Hence, he always wanted to prove his authority as the family leader in front of others.

Then, he proudly retorted, "I let her win."

Baby Robbie rolled his eyes at him. "You let her win, or you couldn't win her?"

Zayne sat up angrily. "She's clearly the weaker sex. How could I not win her?"

While speaking, he suddenly realized that the other party was merely a prisoner. Why did he bother chatting with him?

He glared at Baby Robbie. "You ought to be worried for yourself. For all the wicked things you did to my sister, my brother-in-law will definitely not let this slide."

Baby Robbie's expression turned gloomy. Would his daddy not forgive him anymore since he was such a wife-doting husband?

Jenson looked at Baby Robbie's dejected expression and suddenly asked with concern, "You need any water?"

He still remembered that Baby Robbie had a habit of drinking water before going to bed.

Baby Robbie nodded cheerfully. "Yeah."

Jenson turned around to pour some water for Baby Robbie.

Zayne's mouth widened in horror. Jenson was the prince who never lifted a finger in his life, yet he took the initiative to serve this prisoner?

He knew that their relationship was unusual.

Zayne began to show his annoying side. "Jens, pour a glass of water for Uncle as well."

Jenson retorted coldly, "Don't you have hands?"

Zayne exclaimed in dissatisfaction, "You'd rather give water to the prisoner than your dearest uncle, Jens? I knew the two of you have an unusual relationship." Jenson walked toward Zayne. "Do you want me to serve you?"

Zayne nodded.

Jenson walked to the corner and brought a rope over. Then, he tied Zayne's hand to the marble coffee table next to him.

Zayne was stunned and started howling. "Jens, what

are you doing?"

Jenson continued to tie Zayne up and coldly said," Only people without properly working limbs are eligible to enjoy the care of others." Zayne,

He sighed dejectedly. "I really want to open up that head of yours and see what's inside. Will it be different from us normal people?"

Jenson proudly retorted, "There's no need to open it up. Ours are properly carved and folded, while yours is probably flat."

Zayne asked suddenly, "Are you saying that your uncle doesn't have folds in his brain?"

Jenson nodded.

Chapter 1376

Chapter 1376

Zayne was indignant.

"Untie the rope. I'll pour a glass of water for myself," Zayne said in annoyance.

Jenson proceeded to untie him.

Baby Robbie was laughing happily.

Zayne glared at Baby Robbie who was gloating at his misfortune. Then, he sharply looked at Jenson." Tonight, you're sleeping with your uncle."

He deliberately tried to separate the pair just because he was afraid that Jenson would not be able to restrain himself and ruin his future.

Jenson glanced at the big comfortable bed, then at the cramped sofa. He said, "I'm sleeping on the bed."

Zayne jumped up from the sofa. "Jens, you can't sleep with him. I'm sleeping with him."

The purpose of him coming here tonight was to break the couple up and prevent them from being flirtatious right in front of him.

Zayne walked toward the bed and looked at Baby Robbie with eyes filled with hostility.

Baby Robbie smiled harmlessly at him. His smile had the magical power of spring breeze and rain,

bewitching people's hearts and making them unable to dislike him.

Zayne was startled, then he viciously warned him, "Don't try to sell yourself to me. Even if you're the sexiest little mink, I won't be tempted. Your charms are useless against me. Be more well-behaved." As soon as Zayne sat on the bed, Baby Robbie sat up and cuddled him from the back. He said coquettishly, " Why are you so fierce to me, Uncle?"

Zayne felt goosebumps running down his back and jumped up in shock. "Don't touch me."

Then, he ran to the sofa and lay down like a corpse while looking at Jenson with disdain and contempt.

"Is that how he softened that stone heart of yours?"

Jenson shot a glance at the charming-eyed Baby Robbie and said, "If he does that to me, I'll cut him."

Baby Robbie quietly slandered him, saying, "I know you're a neat-freak, have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and various neurotic diseases. I won't be dumb enough to take the initiative to touch you." Zayne asked with lingering fear, "Then, what do you like about him?"

Jenson blurted out without thinking, "His skin."

After all, Baby Robbie looked exactly the same as him, so he had no reason to dislike his skin.

Baby Robbie smiled slyly and deliberately misled

Zayne. "Did you hear that, Uncle? Your darling Jens is attracted to appearances."

Zayne looked at him and reprimanded, "What appearance? Do you think you're such a heartthrob? If I pull out any member from my sister's family, their appearances are already so much better than yours. Crazy narcissist."

Baby Robbie smiled without saying a word.

Jenson looked at Zayne with indignation. If this guy stayed here, he might be unable to sleep well tonight.

Jenson threatened him, saying, "Don't sleep too soundly if you want to stay here tonight, Uncle. That prisoner might break free from his shackles and finish you off."

Zayne swallowed his saliva and had a look of panic on his face.

Baby Robbie smiled innocently. "Don't worry, this shackle needs a passcode. The code is set by that pervert with the tortuous brain, so I don't think anyone can open it." Zayne gave it a thought and nodded. "That's true.

Jens, you're a smart boy. Who can open the passcode set by you?"

Then, he lay down on the sofa at ease before going to sleep with his eyes closed.

Jenson sighed helplessly before walking to the bed. "Are you really going to sleep with me?" Baby Robbie was a little distressed. If Jens slept beside him, then he would not be able to find a chance to leave. Jenson lay beside him and answered his question with his actions instead.

Baby Robbie asked, "Aren't you afraid that I'll hurt you when you're in dreamland?"

Jenson's eyes were closed. "I'm looking forward to it."

Baby Robbie,

As expected, he genuinely had a peculiar brain.

Chapter 1377

Chapter 1377

The next day.

Jay was awakened by the sound of fireworks outside the window and opened his eyes with a frown. The warm and bright morning light entered his eyes.

He saw brightness in his field of vision.

Startled, Jay blinked. Then, a smile crept onto his face.

His eyes had regained their sight.

He turned to look at Angeline, who was lying in the crook of his arms. When he saw how peaceful she looked when she was sleeping, the corners of his sexy and charming lips curved into a blissful smile.

Time may have passed, but in his eyes, Angeline would always remain the source of his joy and delight regardless of her age-just like how he remembered her to be in his youth.

He could not help but whisper softly, "Angeline, I can see you again."

Angeline suddenly stretched out her arms and wrapped them around his neck, acting like a baby. "That's awesome, Jaybie."

Jay fixed her long messy hair gently and said excitedly, "Do you hear the fireworks outside the

house, Angeline? New Year's Eve is approaching. Shall we have a meal together as a family this year?"

During New Year's Eve in the past...

Laughter and joy would fill every household, but Angeline and Baby Zetty had spent this time in pain and sorrow instead.

The misfortune that befell the Ares family had taken away Jay and her two children. Therefore, Angeline made a decision that they would never have a Thanksgiving or New Year's Eve family dinner if Jay and the children did not return.

No one would take the initiative to mention a word about having a New Year's Eve family dinner for fear that they would arouse Angelinas grief.

Now, Jenson and Jay had returned.

Not Baby Robbie, though.

When Jay suddenly mentioned having a New Year's Eve family dinner, his words tugged at Angelina's heartstrings.

Jay looked tenderly at Angeline. "You don't want to have a New Year's Eve meal together as a family?"

Angeline suddenly said, "This is the first year that Josephine has married into the Severe family, Jaybie. It's also the first year Sis Shirley has officially become the daughter of the Severe family. We shouldn't le them down because of Baby Robbie. Why don't you send Jens to go and invite them for a meal together?"

Jay said mischievously, "Yes, Your Highness."

Angeline smiled.

Jay's age and the things he experienced in life had not sucked the youth out of him. On the contrary, he took on a sunnier disposition and a more mischievous personality, resembling more and more like the big boy she had always cherished in her heart.

When Jenson walked in, he heard Daddy and Mommy teasing each other.

"I'm not a princess, I'm the queen. When my children get married, I'll be promoted to queen dowager." Angeline corrected Jay.

"Yes, Your Highness. Now please allow me to help you dress and wash up." Jay's naughty and mischievous voice was heard.

A gratifying smile filled Jenson's eyes.

No challenges out there could affect Daddy and Mommy's optimistic nature.

When Jay and Angeline came to the living room, they saw Jenson smiling strangely and mysteriously. Angeline grew a little shy and pinched Jay's waist in secret.

It was all Jaybie's fault for not behaving seriously enough.

The kid must have heard his parents flirting with each other.

Jay said with a smile, "Jens, Her Highness has issued an imperial decree. We'll have a family dinner today. Go and proclaim Her Highness' decree."

"Aye-aye, sir!" Jenson responded cheerfully.

Then, he turned around and left.

Both Angeline and Jay were slightly stunned.

"Are his autism symptoms getting better now?" Angeline laughed.

Jay embraced Angeline tightly and said, "Haven't you noticed? Jens is talking, smiling more, and also much livelier now. You're the one who has helped him feel better again, Angeline." Angeline shook her head. "I don't think I should take credit for it. Maybe he has already met the one when he was in Legendary Youth Academy."

Jay was slightly startled!

Chapter 1378

Chapter 1378

Jenson came downstairs and conveyed his mother's instructions to Zayne and the rest. "Her Highness wants all of you to go upstairs and have a meal together." Zayne and the others were startled for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Zayne teased, saying, "Your dad has succeeded in spoiling Angeline into a queen who gets whatever she wants whenever she wants it. I wonder if he'll regret it in the future?" Jenson replied, "My daddy enjoys it tremendously."

Josephine walked up to Zayne and pinched his ears, saying with indignance, "Just look at how my brother spoils Angeline, Zayne. You should learn from him."

Zayne grimaced in pain and said, "Ouch. Your brother is spoiling his wife without limits. Something is bound to happen sooner or later."

Josephine was speechless.

Soon, everyone gathered in Jay and Angeline's room. Each of them was assigned a duty. Joy filled the air.

Shirley and Baby Zetty were bustling about in the kitchen, whereas Josephine took on the role of their assistant.

Carrying the majestic aura of a queen, Angeline brought out a colorful sky lantern and ordered while raising her chin, "Jaybie, you're in charge of the sky lantern. Zayne, you'll prepare the ink, Jens, you'll help me with wielding the brush."

Trying to laze off, Zayne said, "You know how weak I a m, Angeline. I can't do physical work like that. You should ask your Jaybie who has well-developed limbs to do it instead."

Jay's dashing face darkened immediately.

Well-developed limbs? Was he going to say that he had a moronic head next?

Jay's voice turned cold. "Do what my Angeline tells you to. Why do you always have so much nonsense to say?"

Zayne's jaw dropped. "Your wife's surname is Severe and she's from the Severe family. Since when has she become yours?"

"She's my wife, so she takes my last name, understood?" Jay said confidently.

Zayne argued on the basis of reason. "That's the evil old feudal practices. If a woman takes on their husband's last name, that's like treating women as an object. Evil feudal practices like that have long been eradicated."

Jay set up a trap. "If the wife takes on a husband's last name, that means that the husband now has an

obligation toward his wife-to protect her, respect her, love her, and take care of her. Zayne Severe, you refuse to have your wife take your surname because you're trying to shirk your responsibility as a husband."

Zayne protested weakly, saying, "Men and women are equal. They're independent bodies. No one belongs to another."

Jay suddenly fell silent.

Just as Zayne was feeling smug thinking that he had finally won Jay in this debate, Jay's malicious voice sounded in his ears. "You hear that, Josephine? Zayne wants the two of you to be independent bodies." Josephine walked out holding a spatula, questioning him furiously, "You want us to be independent bodies, Zayne? Fine, starting today, we'll be in charge of our own bank cards, we'll sleep on separate beds...' Zayne was nonchalant when he heard the first half of the sentence.

However, Zayne started panicking when he heard the second half of the sentence.

"That... That's not what I meant..."

"Tell me then, what do you mean by independent bodies?" Josephine growled.

Zayne was exasperated. He was then heard roaring. ' Josephine Ares, I will take on your last name, okay? From now on, you will protect me, respect me, love me, and take care of me, okay?" Everyone in the house was dumbfounded.

Josephine stomped her feet and stormed away.

Zayne then ran into the kitchen to coax Josephine.

Soon, the sky lanterns were done.

Jay and Angeline carried the sky lanterns downstairs, lit them up one by one, and released them.

Soon, the vast snowy sky was filled with colorful sky lanterns.

Jenson went back to his room.

Baby Robbie looked at Jenson's gloomy face and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

Jenson walked to the window and opened the screen.

Baby Robbie caught a glimpse of the 'sparks' in the sky and was blown away by the view before his eyes.

Chapter 1379

Chapter 1379

Jenson removed Baby Robbie's shackles from the bedpost, then dragged him to the floor-to-ceiling windows so he could get a better view of the sky.

The sky full of lanterns was like countless stars illuminating the children their way home.

Written on the sky lanterns were Jay and Angeline's messages.

[We'll love you forever, Baby Robbie!]

[I'm willing to trade my life in for your safety.]

[Life has a limit, but love has no end.]

[May you remain the same bright and cheerful young man when you return.]

[Baby Robbie, we're waiting for you!]

Long and short messages were written on the sky lanterns of various sizes.

The paper was too short to describe their feelings.

Baby Robbie could distinctly sense his parents' concern and longing for him.

Tears welled up in his eyes, and then, he slumped to the ground.

Jenson bent down and said softly, "You probably don't know what Daddy and Mommy have been through in the past few years. If you want to know, then I'll tell you." Baby Robbie nodded.

Jenson started explaining, "Back then, when Daddy learned that the Ares family had become the target of Doomsday, the world's largest and most evil organization, he silently sent us away to protect us but placed himself in danger instead.

"On the day the fight with Doomsday broke out, he burned down Tourmaline Estate because only then would he be able to destroy all traces and pieces of evidence. That way, Doomsday would never know if the Ares family was alive or dead.

"Daddy hid all the Ares family members at Tourmaline Estate's underground, yet he alone drove a tank, hoping to perish together with the estate.

"Fortunately, Uncle Tempest didn't obey his order and went back to look for him. At the most critical moment, Uncle Tempest shielded Daddy beneath his own body and that was why Daddy was able to survive this tragedy.

"However, Daddy lost his memory.

"Uncle Tempest fell into a vegetative state.

"They couldn't find their way home at all. It was not until three years ago that Daddy and Mommy reunited unexpectedly.

"As for Mommy, after the Ares family's tragedy, she began suffering from a terrible anxiety disorder because of grief.

"Fortunately, she gave up the thoughts of attempting suicide for the sake of Grand Asia. After experiencing such major trauma, however, her health began to go downhill.

"Eventually, it turned into a horrible disordersomatization disorder."

Baby Robbie was crying his heart out.

Jenson let out a long sigh and patted Baby Robbie on the shoulder lightly. "The hardest period is over. At least we're all going home now."

Baby Robbie's face looked terribly heartbroken. At the thought of the grief that Mommy had been through after the entire family fell apart, Baby Robbie could feel his heart aching tremendously.

Jenson said, "Mommy has been looking for you for the past few years. From being hopeful to being disappointed over and over again, so overwhelmed with fear and anxiety, she began to fear the sight of any information that's related to you. Even the beggars she'd see on the street could trigger her. She's afraid that you... were suffering the same fate as them.

"She's already paralyzed, but in order to find you, she begged Daddy to bring her to Doomsday's territory. Winter in the northern side of this country is freezing. And although she can't stand the cold, she would never think of herself. She has set her heart completely and entirely on you."

There was rage in Jenson's eagle eyes. "But what about you? Why don't you want to go home?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Baby Robbie's eyes.

"I'm sorry." He did not know what else to say apart from these two words.

He used to think that Mommy would give up looking for him if she could not find him. It had never occurred to him that Mommy would be so strong-willed, that her love would never stop as long as she was still living and breathing.

Jenson grew more and more infuriated as he spoke. He lifted Baby Robbie up and pinned him against the glass window, snarling. "We've always thought that Doomsday discovering our identities would be the biggest danger we would face here. We were afraid that Doomsday would find out that the Ares family is still alive and go back to attacking us.

"But who would've thought that the one to end up hurting Daddy and Mommy the most is you, their most beloved son?

"How can you even bring yourself to do it?"

Ashamed, Baby Robbie said, "I didn't mean to hurt them. You must believe me."

Jenson saw Baby Robbie's bloodshot eyes and let go of him.

Baby Robbie begged, "Please take them back to Imperial Capital."

He could not bring himself to see Mommy suffering so

much because of him.

Jenson choked with emotions, saying, "Do you think they'll give up just because they can't find you?"

Baby Robbie said, "It's too dangerous here."

Jenson stared at him, his eyes bright and sharp. "How is this place dangerous?"

"Doomsday," replied Baby Robbie.

Jenson sneered, "You're wrong. We, the Ares family, have already offered the Yorks family an olive branch and made peace with them."

Baby Robbie was infuriated. "Why are you forgiving the Yorks family after what they've done to us?"

Jenson explained, "Mommy can understand the Yorks family's pain of losing their daughter. Therefore, Mommy chose to forgive them." Baby Robbie was bewildered.

Jenson continued, "Mommy said that we only know how powerful hatred is but have no idea that love is equally powerful too. The Yorks family massacred the Ares family because they lost their beloved daughter, just like the resentment she felt because of love.

"Until now, Mommy will still get irritable and mad whenever she hears Monster's name."

Baby Robbie came to a sudden realization. No wonder Mommy was so irritable and violent last time when she heard that he was called Monster too. Even though his gentle mommy was paralyzed, she still gave her all trying to take him down with her.

Baby Robbie could suddenly understand the Yorks family's pain of losing their beloved daughter.

He also knew just how deeply Mommy loved him.

"Are you guys having a family meal together today?" Baby Robbie broke into a grin.

"Mm." Jenson nodded.

Fearing that Baby Robbie would overthink, Jenson deliberately explained, "Mommy said that this is the first year the Severe family has adopted Aunt Shirley and also the first year Aunt Josephine has married into the Severe family, so it's only right for everyone to have a meal together as a family."

Baby Robbie said with a smile, "A meal together as a family is a must. I can't be holding everyone back or that's going to affect my luck."

Jenson did not say anything.

Baby Robbie suddenly raised his eyelids to look at Jenson, begging him, "Can you take this prisoner with you to join you guys at the table?" Jenson looked at Baby Robbie, his eyes cold.

From Baby Robbie's words, Jenson could tell that he still sounded lukewarm and distant. It was clear that he did not intend to reunite with them at all. Jenson said coldly, "You may join us at the table, but you have to be mentally prepared. Just the inhuman things you did to them alone might trigger them."

When Baby Robbie thought of how his dearest family members would gang up on him and bash him up, he could not help but cower. He hugged Jenson's arm and acted like a baby. "Will you protect me?" Jenson rolled his eyes at him. "You must have the courage to take responsibility for what you have done."

Baby Robbie thought of Daddy especially. He felt a great sense of awe and respect for him at the thought of the imposing and bold bearing he took on to support the entire Ares family.

He was Daddy's son, so he should be like Daddy and be as unattainable as possible-just like a towering tree.
