Chapter 1381

Jenson clasped Baby Robbie's handcuffs on his wrists, then yanked him and said, "Let's go."

Baby Robbie was stunned. "You can unlock the handcuffs. I'm not going to run away."

Jenson glanced back and gave him a cold stare. "Why should I believe you?"

Baby Robbie was rendered speechless.

Jenson knew that he was Baby Robbie, but he still refused to believe him. It seemed like he was not going to earn Jenson's trust if he did not confess to him about his identity as a military intelligence agent. looked like Jenson would never trust him the day he did not confess his identity as a military intelligence division agent.

Baby Robbie sighed inwardly and accepted his fate." Okay then."

Jenson took Baby Robbie to their parents' room, but as soon as he walked to the door, Baby Robbie's gait turned slow and heavy.

Jenson looked at the guilty look on his face and said coldly, "You can announce your identity. I can assure you that Daddy and Mommy will welcome you home with open arms and let bygones be bygones." Baby Robbie shook his head violently. "Please don't tell them, I'm begging you."

Jenson's gaze darkened. He twitched his mouth when he saw how much Baby Robbie refused to recover his identity as an Ares family member.

"Are you going to hide from Mommy forever?" Jenson growled.

Baby Robbie shook his head and said in a tone that was almost as if he was pleading, "This is only temporary."

Baby Robbie's voice turned audibly deep and low.

He wanted to disclose his identity and go home too, but becoming a military intelligence division agent meant that going home would not be an option.

Jens would never understand.

"Come in."

Jenson pushed the door open and dragged Baby Robbie inside.

The living room that was filled with a hubbub of laughter and noises suddenly became silent following Baby Robbie's arrival.

Then, Zayne could be heard yelling, "Why did you bring this b*stard, Jenson? Don't tell me that you've accepted him as your boyfriend? Jenson, you need to at least discuss with your parents before you come out, don't you think?"

When facing such a weird uncle who had such a rich imagination, Jenson could only drop his head in frustration. He said weakly, "Can you stop talking nonsense for once, Uncle?"

Zayne put his hands on his hips, then took a sip of tea before continuing to shoot his mouth off. "Why?

You're worried that I'll expose all the embarrassing things you've done? You should've known better!" Baby Robbie suddenly muttered with displeasure, "Who gives you the right to say that?"

Had they ever encountered a powerful agent like him?

Through his words, he had undoubtedly admitted the unusual relationship he and Jens shared.

Jenson glared at him. "You think the situation isn't terrible enough? Shut up."

Baby Robbie clammed up in an instant.

Josephine wore an expression that looked as though things were not serious enough. She had an even more powerful imagination compared to Zayne.

"Oh Jens, you little brat. Both of you do look like a couple. Hey Jens, he obeys you very much. You're really great at keeping your wifey under control, aren't you?" Josephine sashayed over and said sarcastically," Since he obeys you so much, Jens, then you should advise him to change his evil ways."

Jenson's mesmerizing face was dark.

There was nothing he could do to remove the label attached to him now.

He and Baby Robbie were twins, so even if they were under disguise, they still looked somewhat similar. How could she say that they looked like a couple? Jenson turned his gaze to Baby Robbie, expecting him to explain to them about their relationship. After all, Baby Robbie was eloquent and good with words. Though who would have thought, Baby Robbie did nothing but gloat at him, looking like he was anxious to see the world falling into chaos.

Jenson understood what was going on now. Baby Robbie was hoping that the elders would pay attention to their gossip and forget about questioning his identity. In the many years they had not met each other, he realized that this brat was now even more cunning.

Jenson turned the tide. "I already have a crush on a girl."

Like a bomb, his remark left everyone in the house completely dumbfounded.

Chapter 1382

Chapter 1382

Baby Robbie stared at Jenson in consternation.

Although they were twins, Jenson was so precocious that he already had a crush, but for him, he still thought of himself as an immature little baby.

"What did you consume to get so precocious?" Baby Robbie teased.

Jenson darted him a vicious look, his eyes filled with resentment.

"Can't you see that I'm cleaning up your mess?"

Baby Robbie let out a dazzling smile. "What's there to clean up? We did sleep together. In the bathroom too..."

Baby Robbie poked his fingers together, his action clearly encouraging others to let their imaginations run wild.

Jenson was infuriated. "Shut up."

Baby Robbie covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly.

A smug smile filled his eyes.

It would not be so bad to shut up anyway. He need not respond to their interrogations once he shut up.

Jenson was struck dumb.

He had fallen into this brat's trap.

Jay, who had remained silent the entire time, stared intently at Baby Robbie and Jenson as they stood by the door.

His slender fingers were tapping gently on his thighs, seemingly pondering about something.

A fox and a black panther. The fox was cunning, while the black panther was fierce. If a fight broke out, he wondered who would win and who would lose?

Clearly, Zayne was thoroughly confused by Jenson's sexual orientation. He scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face and muttered, "Do you really have a crush on a girl?"

Josephine, however, said, "Oh gosh, Jens is bisexual."

Jenson almost lost his footing.

Baby Robbie stood on one side, watching the fun.

Angeline suddenly asked in a cold voice, "Who did you bring, Jens?"

Jenson dragged Baby Robbie to Angeline and replied," He's our prisoner, Mommy."

Baby Robbie suddenly felt uneasy. He stared at Mommy with tears in his eyes.

He really wanted to call her 'Mommy'.

Though as soon as he spoke, the words had taken on a different form. "Hello, beautiful madam, we've met before..." Baby Robbie introduced himself guiltily.

Angeline's eyes turned cold. "Are you Monster?"

Baby Robbie knew just how much Mommy loathed Monster and quickly clarified, "My name is Superior Monster."

Angeline went berserk as soon as she heard the word 'Monster'. She sprung up from the chair. "I don't care if you're Monster or Superior Monster, can you please return my son back to me?" Angeline pounced on him as soon as she said those words.

Baby Robbie was so terrified that he quickly hid behind Jens.

Jay stood up, picked Angeline up, and coaxed her. " Calm down, Angeline."

Angeline roared like a tigress. "How am I supposed to calm down when the trafficker who abducted my son is right here? I want to avenge Baby Robbie. I want to kill him. I want to skin him alive..." Jay walked into the bedroom with Angeline in his arms.

Angeline wailed sadly. "How can you stop me from avenging Baby Robbie, Jaybie? You know better than anyone just how bitter I feel, so why won't you let me vent out my anger? Sob, sob, sob..." Jay carried Angeline into the bedroom and locked the door behind him.

He was embracing and stroking her back, trying to calm her down.

"You heard him, Angeline. His name is Superior Monster, not Monster."

Angeline s cries gradually stopped as her anger intensified. "It's all Monster's fault. He's the one who brought this disaster upon our family."

Jay rarely saw the childish side of Angeline. His lips curved into a smile as he said, "You wouldn't hate him so much if you could see him."

Chapter 1383

Chapter 1383

Angeline's cries came to an abrupt halt. She suddenly grabbed the cloth in front of Jay's chest with trembling hands.

"What do you mean?" Angeline asked in a quivering voice.

"He's just a child," Jay replied softly.

Angeline's face paled a little.

He was just a victim?

Jay added, "He's as tall, as dashing, as cunning, and as remarkable as Jens."

Angeline was petrified.

After a long time, she muttered, "He's..."

Jay's warm fingers were pressed against her delicate lips. "Don't say it out loud, Angeline. For his sake, let's just wait a bit longer."

Angeline's face that was like an ice sculpture suddenly cracked, revealing a wide grin.

"Jaybie, hurry up and tell me how he's doing?" Angeline asked emotionally.

Jay replied, "Don't worry, he still has his limbs and is still as mischievous as ever. But, he's more careful and

cleverer than he used to be."

Angeline felt as though a load had been taken off her mind.

"Thank God."

Suddenly, Angeline remembered the things Baby Robbie did to them and her smile faded. Worried, she grabbed Jay's hand and pleaded, "Jaybie!" "Yeah?"

"Don't blame him for all the evil deeds he has done, please?"

Jay's eyes were brimming with a soft smile. "It's the father's duty to correct his son's mistake. I'll make sure to educate him well and bring home the bright and kind young man who'll always stay true to himself. Angeline wrapped her arms around his neck affectionately and thanked him. "Thank you, Jaybie, for not giving up on him."

"Silly, that's my son too. Why would I give up on him?"

"Mm."

In the living room.

Baby Robbie paced back and forth anxiously. As Jenson was handcuffed to him, he had no choice but t o walk around with him.

Both Zayne and Josephine were gloating as they stared at Baby Robbie. Zayne made sure he jeered at him by saying, "It's over for you, brat. You've caused Angeline to shatter her lady-like image, one that she has maintained for so many years. It'll be interesting to see how the demon king is going to fix you later."

Josephine then summed things up and said, "If you're smart, then you'll come clean right now or I can't promise you that you'll get to see the sun tomorrow."

Baby Robbie was being treated like an actual prisoner.

At this moment, Baby Robbie was only concerned about Mommy's health, hence he had no time to even think about his own safety.

He looked at Jenson with unease and asked, "Is she going to be okay?"

Jenson replied, "Daddy's here. Nothing will happen."

Baby Robbie felt slightly relieved.

At this time, Jay came out holding Angeline's hand. All traces of Angeline's agitation had been wiped off. At this moment, she looked extremely calm and tranquil as she allowed Jay to guide her. As soon as Angeline took her seat, Baby Robbie moved like a gust of wind across the crowd, kneeling before Angeline in the blink of an eye.

Jenson was caught unprepared. Therefore, he was also dragged all the way to Mommy and knelt down with Baby Robbie.

"What are you two little munchkins doing? Are you trying to worship your parents?" Josephine asked in a

puzzled tone.

Zayne exclaimed, "Jenson, your mommy isn't open for things like that yet. Hurry up and get up."

"Superior Monster?"

When Angeline spoke, her quivering voice sounded slightly emotional. Even though she was so overwhelmed with emotions, she was forced to restrain herself. Baby Robbie called out timidly, "Madam."

Angeline was slightly stunned as her heart dropped.

When Baby Robbie called her 'Madam', no one could tell if his distance and isolation toward her were a result of his helplessness or the secrets hiding within him.

Chapter 1384

Chapter 1384

There were so many things that Angeline wanted to say, but as soon as he called her 'Madam', everything she wanted to say was instantly stuck in her throat.

She did not want to force him to confess.

"Do you have other names?" Angeline refused to believe that her kind and lovely child had taken on the name of a trafficker.

Baby Robbie recalled that Mommy did not like the name Monster, so he quickly restructured his sentence and said, "You can call me Lil Fox too."

This jogged Angeline's memory. Lil Fox was a nickname that Baby Robbie gave himself when he was still a child.

"Well, Lil Fox, I'll forgive you for what you did in the past seeing how young and inexperienced you are, but

H

Angeline's tone turned exceedingly stern and sharp. "If you do unforgivable things like that again, then I won't forgive you anymore."

Angeline theorized that after Baby Robbie went missing, more often than not, he would be forced to do things that he did not like. He would be instigated, suppressed, or even lose his sense of direction and submit to circumstances where he needed to commit unforgivable mistakes.

These were all excusable.

Now, he had finally returned to his family.

They were willing to move him with their love, willing to face the unknown and take risks with him.

However, if he insisted on taking the wrong path, then he would not be worthy of forgiveness anymore.

Jay stared intently at Baby Robbie. He saw Baby Robbie's dazzling eyes dimming as well as a hint of dilemma that flashed across his gaze.

Jay suddenly looked solemn and serious but calmly took on the role of a mediator to change the subject.

"Alright now, it's getting late. Let's eat."

Shirley and Baby Zetty served the delicious dishes from the kitchen, and when the dining table was filled, everyone took their seats...

Only then did Baby Zetty realize that the prisoner who Jenson brought home was actually... the man she met in the mall that day?

"Ah, aren't you... that man I met the other day? The man from the same hometown?" Baby Zetty exclaimed.

Baby Robbie stared at Baby Zetty, wearing a conflicted look on his face.

He did not expect that little girl to be Baby Zetty. It was no wonder why she was so mischievous.

"From the same hometown?" Zayne exclaimed.

The expression on everyone else's faces changed slightly.

Even the hearts of the calm and composed people like Jay and Jenson were throbbing a little at this moment.

Baby Robbie refused to expose his identity in front of them but had made such a careless mistake in front of Baby Zetty.

Jay pondered. Maybe the soft and adorable-looking Baby Zetty was the key to conquering this fortress.

Zayne teased, saying, "I can't believe that the rich and talent-fostering land actually breeds black-hearted brats like you too. How disappointing."

Baby Robbie's hand that was holding onto the cutleries paused in the air, but it was also at this moment that both Jay and Jenson cast Zayne a death stare at the same time.

Jay growled. "Don't talk when you're eating."

Zayne said, "Okay, okay. I'll shut up."

Baby Robbie was just about to grab a drumstick when Zayne snatched it from him.

Having been an orphan since childhood, perhaps Sis Shirley could best understand the helplessness and heartache of children who had lost their parents' protection. She glared sternly at Zayne and put a drumstick on Baby Robbie's plate.

Baby Robbie squeezed a bright smile at Shirley." Thanks, Aunt Shirley."

Shirley patted him on the head. "Eat."

Baby Robbie picked up the drumstick and placed it on Angeline's plate.

He recalled that Mommy loved to eat tender and fragrant drumsticks too.

Josephine, however, picked out the drumstick from Angeline's plate and said, "Oh, please, do you think Sis Angeline will eat the food you give her when she hates you so much?"

It was only then did Angeline learn that Baby Robbie had put food on her plate. This warmed her heart tremendously.

"It's okay," Angeline said with a smile.

Jenson snatched the drumstick from Josephine's plate and put it on Mommy's plate, then darted Josephine a warning glare.

Josephine asked, "What do you mean by that, you brat?"

Jens replied, "Mommy likes eating it."

Chapter 1385

Chapter 1385

When Angeline ate the scrumptious food, she appreciated the cook's hard work and suddenly raised the wine glass in front of her, saying, "You've worked hard today, Sis Shirley. Here, let me give you a toast.'

Shirley picked up the wine glass with a smile and said, "Back then, I was carefree, but my heart had always felt so empty. Now that I have a family to take care of and also contribute to, I finally know what true happiness feels like. I should be the one to give you a toast instead. You're the one who has let me feel how warm this world truly is."

Angeline raised her head up and downed the contents.

Shirley was not a good drinker, hence as soon as she took a sip, she felt her stomach churning and something gushing upward from the pit of her stomach. Startled, she quickly put down the wine glass and rushed to the washroom.

Worried about Sis Shirley, Angeline said to Jay anxiously, "Take me to her, Jaybie."

Jay helped Angeline to the washroom and retreated to give them some privacy.

Angeline groped her way into the washroom herself.

"What's going on, Sis Shirley?" Angeline asked with

concern.

Shirley was throwing up like a volcano spewing ashes. A strong stench emanated throughout the entire washroom.

"You should probably go out, Little Angeline..." Shirley said, sounding a little awkward.

Angeline fumbled for some tissues and groped her way to her, patting her back anxiously while saying," It's all my fault, Sis Shirley. I shouldn't have asked you to drink if I had known that you can't tolerate alcohol."

Weak from all the throwing up, Shirley replied, "It's not your fault, Sis. It's not the alcohol. I've been having this intense nauseating feeling in the morning and afternoon lately."

Shirley was already in poor health, so when symptoms like nausea and vomiting struck her, she simply thought that it was a relapse.

Angeline, however, blanked out.

After a very long time, Angeline asked anxiously, "Be honest with me, Sis Shirley. Aside from nausea and vomiting, have you noticed any other symptoms?"

"Not that I know of," Shirley said.

"Any changes in your taste in food?"

"Strange. Now that you mentioned it, I never liked peppery food back then, but now I'll crave for pepper in every single meal."

"Are you experiencing fatigue?"

"I'm snoozing more than I used to."

Angeline held Shirley's hand and suddenly squeezed it hard. "When did you start experiencing these symptoms, Sis Shirley?"

Although Shirley was a woman who had always led a pure and innocent life, she was not entirely inexperienced. When she noticed Angeline's huge reaction, she knew what she was thinking about at once. "Sis, do you suspect that I'm..." Shirley could not bring herself to continue.

Angeline hugged Sis Shirley tight. "Let's not fret about it first, Sis Shirley. Maybe I'm overthinking it. We'll go to the pharmacy later to buy some pregnancy test strips, okay?"

Shirley nodded solemnly.

When Angeline and Shirley returned to the table, they noticed the serious look on everyone's faces as they stared at Shirley.

Zayne said, "Your body isn't strong enough, Sis Shirley. Living in this icy and snowy North Capital isn't going to be optimal for your recovery. Maybe I should send you back to Imperial Capital after the new year so that you can receive medical treatment in time..."

Clearly, he had misunderstood and thought that

Shirley was having a relapse.

Angeline said, "It's still too early to make any decisions right now. We'll talk about that some other time."

After finishing their meal in a hurry, Angeline took Shirley's hand and announced, "I'm going out to have a stroll with Sis Shirley. I don't want any of you to follow us."

Jay opposed firmly, saying, "Both you and Sis Shirley aren't strong enough, Angeline. How can I not be worried when the two of you are going out alone?"

Angeline thought for a while. "Jens will follow us, then."

Jens was still a young boy, so he was probably still too young and innocent to understand anything related to the subject of female pregnancy. That would definitely help Sis Shirley from feeling less awkward.

Chapter 1386

Chapter 1386

Jenson dragged Baby Robbie to his feet. "Let's go."

When Angeline and the rest had left, Zayne put on a puzzled expression, asking, "Are they hiding something from us?"

Jay's pensive gaze moved back and forth between Zayne and Josephine. "Are you two going to be a double income, no kids' couple for the rest of your life? H

Zayne and Josephine shook their heads at the same time. With a look of longing hanging on his face, Zayne said, "We don't want to be a DINK couple. We want to be like you, have a few smart and adorable sons, then live a blissful life with them for the rest of our lives."

Jay's gaze grew even deeper and more profound.

Since they both loved children so much and it had also been several months since their marriage, it stood to reason that Josephine should be pregnant by now, no?

"To make sure that both of you are in good health, you should probably make a trip to the hospital for a check -up when you're free." Jay reminded them. Although it was cruel for him to voice out his doubt

regarding Zayne and Josephine's ability to conceive, Jay's rationality had done nothing but steer him toward making the wisest decision.

If something was wrong with them, then it would be best to seek early treatment.

When Zayne later realized that Jay was doubting their ability to conceive, he flew into a rage. "What could go wrong? I'm as fit as a fiddle and so is Josie!"

Jay raised his eyes. "So the two of you have been taking preventive measures?"

Both Zayne and Josephine shook their heads.

Jay reminded them kindly, saying, "Angeline and I conceived three in a single try."

There was a hint of arrogance and ostentation detected in his tone.

Zayne tried to recover lost ground by saying, "You'd better listen up. I may be inferior to you in everything else in life, but I can assure you that I'm definitely stronger than you when it comes to giving birth to sons."

Jay,

"How did you come to this absurd conclusion?"

Zayne eyed Jay contemptuously and questioned, "I'm younger than you, so Josephine and I can take our time and have as many children as we want. You're getting old now. Do you think you can still have children?"

Jay hissed between clenched teeth. "It's not a matter of whether I can still give birth or not, but a matter of whether both of you are still capable of conceiving. Also, when the old dog barks, he gives counsel." Zayne said, "Just because I said that you're old, you're actually taking advantage of your seniority now?"

Josephine trembled, stroked her belly with one hand, and said in disappointment, "Sis Angeline got pregnant in just one try, yet I'm still not pregnant even after Zayne and I have been trying for so long. Could there actually be something wrong with me?"

Zayne thought otherwise. "What can be the problem? Not everyone will get it on the first try."

Josephine, however, was crestfallen.

What Zayne did not know was that they had done it once a long time ago during her ovulation, yet she still did not conceive.

"Are you going to despise me if I can't conceive, Zayne?" Josephine asked with unease.

Zayne cupped Josephine's face in his hands and consoled her. "Our relationship has finally come to fruition, Josie. If we're destined to have no children, then we'll accept our fate." Josephine nodded as tears streamed down her face.

Jay said, "Even if you're infertile, Grand Asia's doctors will find ways to treat you. It's not the end of the world yet, so why are you crying?"

Both Zayne and Josephine were relieved to hear his words.

Baby Zetty was the last to finish her meal, hence she carried the plates and bowls into the kitchen to do the dishes.

Jay said softly, "Leave them, Baby Zetty."

"Daddy." Baby Zetty stood there in a daze. "Aunty Shirley isn't around, so I'll do the dishes today."

Jay said, "Go and rest. Let Uncle Zayne and Aunty Josephine do it."

Both Zayne and Josephine hated kitchen chores the most. Josephine suddenly dropped her head and pleaded, "Please be merciful and spare me, Brother."

Chapter 1387

Chapter 1387

Zayne spoke plausibly and volubly, "If a girl learns how to do the housework, she'll grow up to become a better wife and mother in the future. You should give Baby Zetty the chance to practice."

Jay rolled his eyes at Zayne and retorted, "When your daughter is born, you can let her practice as often as you want. We don't raise idlers at home. I want both of you to get your butts in the kitchen and wash the dishes, or you can set up a separate kitchen tonight."

Josephine and Zayne stood up reluctantly, walking into the kitchen while carefully holding the plates.

From time to time, the sound of broken dishes could be heard coming from the kitchen.

Baby Zetty would quiver every time she heard the sound of porcelain smashing on the floor. Then, she said ruefully, "What a pity. That was a good bowl."

Jay said calmly, "Just take it as if you're paying a tuition fee."

Jay was pleased to see Baby Zetty so well-behaved and obedient.

"Come here, Baby Zetty."

Baby Zetty walked over. "Daddy." She let out a bright and dazzling smile.

Jay reached out and pinched her little nose. "It has been so long since I last took a good look at my little princess."

Baby Zetty sat on Daddy's lap and acted like a baby." Because Her Highness is all you see."

"Are you mad at Daddy?"

Baby Zetty replied, "Not at all. My classmates are really envious when they see how much my parents love each other. Several of their parents have either filed for divorce or experienced domestic violence. They would hide in a corner and cry every time they go to school. They're really pitiful.

"That's why, Daddy, you must treat Mommy well."

Moved with emotions, Jay said, "Don't worry, I promise to love Mommy for the rest of my life. I won't beat her nor scold her and will always pamper her. This is my promise to you." Baby Zetty nodded cheerfully. "Mm!"

On Peach Blossom County's streets, Angeline and Shirley stood in front of Kennedy Pharmacy. The two hesitated for a moment and eventually walked inside.

Jenson, who was following behind them, wore a puzzled expression on his face.

"What's Mommy and Aunty Shirley doing?"

Mommy had never kept anything from Daddy in whatever she did, yet she was obviously trying to

avoid Daddy today. This left him puzzled and confused.

Baby Robbie had been mingling with women all day long for the past few years and was more or less influenced by them, so he said without thinking," They must be buying sanitary pads." Jenson was so astonished that his jaw dropped.

Baby Robbie looked at him. "Why are you staring at me like that?"

Baby Robbie explained with righteous indignation," Women often feel embarrassed when they buy sanitary pads and that's why they hide it from men."

Jenson muttered, "That's not what I'm curious about."

He was curious as to why Baby Robbie could say it in such a blunt and direct manner.

"Don't you feel ashamed at all?"

Baby Robbie was slightly stunned. What was there to be ashamed of? Back in the military intelligence division, he would sometimes lose a bet and be forced to buy all sorts of personal hygiene items for the sisters. Sanitary pads and bras were on the list of frequent purchases.

Jenson looked Baby Robbie up and down as if he was staring at a national treasure. "Have you been living in a brothel the past few years?"

Jenson still felt a lingering fear when he thought of the 13 young and beautiful girls around Baby Robbie.

When Baby Robbie was completely misunderstood by Jenson, his mouth hung open in astonishment and remained open for a very long time. "You can't possibly think that I'm involved in the prostitution business, can you?" Baby Robbie was crushed.

Jenson nodded.

"When Uncle Zayne misunderstood us for being homosexuals, why were you able to take it so calmly and even misled them on purpose?"

Chapter 1388

Chapter 1388

Anxious, Baby Robbie explained, "That's because I don't want them to ask me other questions..."

"What questions?" Jenson pressed on.

Baby Robbie caught a glimpse of the intense intimidation in Jenson's eyes, it suddenly dawned on him... "You're trying to set me up, aren't you?" The intense stare in Jenson's eyes melted away, and he fell silent.

At this moment in the pharmacy, the shop assistant handed Shirley a long box containing a pregnancy test strip.

When Jenson and Baby Robbie saw the strange object, they both exchanged glances with each other.

"What is that?" Baby Robbie asked.

Jenson then dragged Baby Robbie inside.

At this time, the shop assistant was heard telling Shirley, "Take the test in the morning because that's when you can get the most accurate results."

The two of them grew even more curious now and craned their necks to take a look at the same time.

When they saw the pregnancy test strip in Shirley's hand, both of them were left dumbfounded at the same time.

Then, Baby Robbie dragged Jenson to one side and said, "I'm sure your mommy is pregnant and doesn't want to keep the child seeing how she came out to buy pregnancy test strips behind your daddy's back."

Jenson glared at him. The way Baby Robbie addressed Mommy and Daddy had angered him.

Even after receiving his glare, Baby Robbie still did things his own way. "If you don't want your unborn brother or sister to die, then you have to stop your beautiful mommy from aborting the child in secret." Jenson looked maliciously at Baby Robbie. He could tell that Baby Robbie was very concerned about their unborn sibling.

Jenson did not want Mommy to abort his younger sibling in secret either, but he deliberately pretended to sound indifferent at this moment, saying, "There's me and Baby Zetty. Mommy doesn't need to give birth to more siblings."

Baby Robbie was struck dumb.

"Didn't you always want to have many little brothers so you can form a football team..."

Jenson raised his eyes and stared coldly at him. "How would you know what I want?"

If Baby Robbie refused to acknowledge them, then he need not treat him as his younger brother either, nor show due respect for his feelings.

Baby Robbie was stunned, and upon realizing that Jenson was serving him the same sauce, he grew annoyed. "You're asking the obvious, Jenson Ares."

When the brothers' argument had reached a deadlock, they saw Shirley walking out of the pharmacy bathroom with a blank look on her face. She was holding a pregnancy test strip with two bright crimson lines on it.

"Let's go, Sis."

Angeline and Shirley left the pharmacy in a hurry before coming to a secluded street corner. Angeline paused in her steps and asked eagerly, "What's the result, Sis Shirley?"

Shirley felt desolated, and her voice was only faintly audible. "You've guessed it, Sis."

Angeline quivered.

At that very moment, her mind went blank.

If it had been her, then she would be able to make a decisive decision, but this was Sis Shirley's affair, so she needed to respect her decisions.

"What are you planning to do now, Sis Shirley?" Angeline's voice was quivering a little.

Shirley stared at the vast sky, her eyes cloudy and hazy. "I don't know."

Angeline was taken aback by her answer. In situations like that, any young woman would make the decision to abort their child-especially when the child would bring shame to them.

Sis Shirley, however, hesitated. That showed that she was having second thoughts about aborting the child.

Angeline took Shirley's hand and said in a sonorous tone, "I'll support you if you want to abort this child, but I'll also respect your decision if you want to keep the child. However, you must know that since the child carries the Yorks' bloodline and judging from their family background, they will definitely snatch the child away if they learn about his existence. As for you, you need to be prepared to embrace the storm."

Shirley shook her head. "No, Little Angeline. I'm not like you. I'm not as wise as you, not as tough as you, nor am I as brave as you to stand up against Doomsday."

Chapter 1389

Chapter 1389

Angeline said emotionally, "We're here for you, Sis Shirley. We'll be your strongest backing."

Shirley squeezed Angeline's hand and said, "I'm really grateful to have you by my side, Sis. You're just like a tree, and I'm like a bird perching on your trunk. You make me feel safe and secure.

"You, however, are always thinking only of us, silly. Has it never crossed your mind that with my current health condition, this child will become a burden to you if I die one day?

"As for me, I don't want to see you going against Doomsday because of this child. I don't want to see the peaceful life that you have strived so hard to get plunge into yet another bloody war. Therefore, if he wishes to, then I will give the child to him."

Angeline was struck dumb.

How cruel was it to separate a mother and her child?

Angeline did not want Sis Shirley to experience the same tragedy she experienced, hence after contemplating for a very long time, Angeline suddenly asked Sis Shirley in a solemn tone, "Are you willing to accept him, Sis Shirley?"

A touch of melancholy emerged on Shirley's face. "A

man like him has high aspirations and comes from a well-off family. I've always looked up to him but have never dared to be too hopeful about being with him."

Angeline said, "Sis Shirley, he's very knowledgeable and affectionate. He'll make a great partner, I must say. If the two of you can be together, then your child will grow up in a warm home. Would you like to be brave for once and give it a try for the sake of you and your child?"

Shirley was in a daze.

She recalled her first meeting with Cole. At the time, she was carrying the unconscious Angeline on her back, staggering and stumbling countless times along the way. In the end, she fell into a quagmire but could not climb out of it no matter how hard she tried.

She was very scared at the time, afraid that Angeline would be hurt because of her incompetence.

Fortunately, Cole appeared. Like a streak of light, he picked Angeline up from her back. He had a crush on Angeline, so it was only natural that he would help her, but what she did not expect was that he also reached out to her and pulled her out of the quagmire.

Cole was probably unaware that his kind gesture had given Shirley hope when she was in despair at the time, and his shadows were etched in Shirley's heart ever since.

Even after hearing the news that he had massacred the entire Ares family, she still refused to believe that he was a heinous criminal.

Shirley's gaze was decisive as she said, "I don't want my child to live a homeless life like me. Little Angeline, a s long as there's hope to give the child a better future, then I, as the baby's mother, am willing to toughen up, be brave, and fight for his sake."

Angeline said, "Since that's what you want, Sis Shirley, I'll do everything I can to help you and your child fight for a splendid future."

Feeling grateful, Shirley held Angeline's hand and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry again, Little Angeline."

Jenson and Baby Robbie, who had been eavesdropping for a very long time, realized that it was not Mommy who was pregnant but Aunty Shirley!

This news left the mischievous Baby Robbie very much astounded. He tugged at Jenson's sleeve secretly and whispered, "Who does the child in Aunty Shirley's belly belong to?"

Jenson sighed and replied, "Cole's."

Baby Robbie suddenly clenched his fists and growled. "I'll kill him."

Jenson glanced speechlessly at him and warned him gravely, "He'll soon become our uncle. If you kill him, Mommy will be the first to come after you."

Baby Robbie pouted. "That womanizer is lucky he got away with it."

When Angeline and the group returned home, Angeline announced a piece of shocking news to everyone, "We're leaving for Mount Pearl again."

Zayne spat out the tea he had just drunk. "Mount Pearl? No way? Mount Pearl is so cold, the road condition so treacherous, and most importantly, the guys there aren't people we can offend. Haven't you learned anything after what we've been through?"

Jay glanced at Angeline and Shirley with a meaningful glance. Both girls looked at a loss. Angeline might sound firm and decisive about going to Mount Pearl, but her hands were folded in front of her lower abdomen where her fingers were tapping uneasily. It betrayed and revealed her anxious emotions at the moment.

Jay disliked Mount Pearl even more than Zayne because Cole was there casting covetous eyes on his wife.

However, Angeline would not have impulsively made such a decision.

What else could he do other than to support her?

"You said you like the snow in the north, didn't you? The most beautiful snow scenery in North Capital is in Mount Pearl, so it'll be a dream come true for you to go to Mount Pearl, no?" Jay teased Zayne. Angeline breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

As long as Jaybie was on her side, this would all be much easier to handle.

Zayne and Josephine had many reasons to oppose, but all those reasons were forcefully suppressed by Jay in the end.

"Stop making excuses just because you're cowards. It's decided, then. We'll go to Mount Pearl tomorrow."

Zayne said weakly, "I can't believe we're celebrating the new year with a bunch of desperadoes. I hope my fragile little heart can stay strong until the day we leave that mountain."

When everyone left, Angeline wrapped her arms around Jay's waist and hugged him tenderly while shedding tears of gratitude. "Thank you for supporting my decision, Jaybie."

A gratifying smile emerged on Jay's dashing face." You haven't held me like this for a really long time."

Angeline was slightly taken aback by his words. A

touch of helplessness rose in her heart. "You're getting worse at grasping the main point nowadays, Jaybie."

Jay replied, "Nonsense, I've only learned how to grasp the main point lately."

Angeline giggled, and when she was done giggling, she said, "I know you don't want to go to Mount Pearl. You just don't want to go against my decision. I'm sorry you have to go through this, Jaybie."

Jay rested his chin on her head and said seriously," You don't have to feel sorry for me. Sis Shirley is a good person. She deserves our kindness."

Surprised, Angeline said cheerfully, "If even a cold-hearted man like you thinks that Sis Shirley is a good person, then I'm pretty sure Cole will accept her."

Jay frowned. "That's hard to say."

"Why?"

"I think she's a good person because she's nice to you. If I love you, I have to love the people around you too. Cole doesn't love you... so he won't love the people around you." Angeline,

Jenson was packing his luggage in an orderly manner while Baby Robbie was handcuffed to the bedpost. His eyes were dim and his long eyelashes were droopy. He looked laden with worries. "You don't want to go to Mount Pearl?" Jenson asked.

Baby Robbie replied listlessly, "Mm."

He had once kidnapped Cole and peeled off his nails. If Cole recognized him, he would certainly turn him into a piece of jerky.

"You're afraid that Cole will retaliate against you?" Jenson asked nonchalantly.

Baby Robbie stared at him in shock. "How do you know he'll retaliate against me?"

Jenson said, "He mistook me for you and gave me a lot of trouble when I was on Mount Pearl."

Baby Robbie grew worried. "Are you okay?"

Jens rolled his eyes at him. "Why are you worried about me when I'm here standing alive and well before your eyes? Gosh, you're stupid." Baby Robbie,

That was because he was concerned about him. His concerns had thrown him off balance for a moment.

"Can you tell me how Cole gave you trouble?" Baby Robbie asked suddenly, looking interested.
