Ch. 1401..1410
Chapter 1401
Angeline walked to Cole and suddenly grabbed his hands. When she saw Cole's hand, which was missing the little finger and a nail on his thumb, Angeline felt horrible. Cole lost his little finger to protect her.
The missing nail from his thumb was caused by Baby Robbie when he sought revenge for his father's sake.
Angeline let go of his hand and said, "I have no objections if you want to seek revenge on him.
However, there shouldn't be any bloodshed during the new year. After the new year, you can fight him."
"Angeline, are you really willing to hand him over to me?" Cole asked in disbelief as he narrowed his eyes.
Angeline was reluctant, but she still nodded gently.
Angeline turned back to face Baby Robbie and said softly, "My dear child, you were in the wrong. You took off his nails and almost killed him, so if he wants to take revenge on you, you will bravely bear it." Baby Robbie nodded bravely. "I will do that."
Angeline continued, "But, don't forget, he also almost killed your daddy. He has caused you a lot of pain as well. You should also take this opportunity to let out all the sadness and grievances." Cole laughed out loud.
In order to let them vent their resentment, Angeline did not hesitate to let them hurt each other. However, they both knew that it would sadden her if that were to happen.
Baby Robbie's gaze swept across Jay, Jenson, Baby Zetty, and Mommy. Seeing that the people he loved were all safe and sound, the sorrows in Baby Robbie's heart disappeared.
Baby Robbie smiled and said, "Cole, I don't hate you anymore. Tell me, what do you want me to do so that you can vent out your anger? I'm all yours."
Cole walked slowly to Baby Robbie. Baby Robbie's bright smile and innocent eyes were a stark contrast to the thug who abused him.
He knew that all the hostility in Baby Robbie was caused by him.
Baby Robbie's wandering fate was also because of him.
Cole pinched Baby Robbie's face and said, "Boy, you're still so likable. You're something else. I like you..."
Baby Robbie squeezed out a bright smile at him and said, "Aren't you going to take your revenge on me?"
Cole raised his mutilated hand and said, "This is my compensation for you." He stretched out his hand. "Welcome back."
Baby Robbie stretched out his hand as well and held
Cole's tightly.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
They left the past in the past.
After things were smoothed over, Jay and Angeline arrived at Mount Pearl.
The eldest sister, Shirley, moved into Cole's villa.
Jay and Angeline chose to stay in Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.
Angeline, Josephine, Baby Robbie, and Jenson lived in Chilly Water Court. It was adjacent to Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.
As for the members of Ghost, they were placed in the uninhabited houses nearby.
After Cole found out about Jay's arrangement, he was furious and said, "He deliberately took away half of my Time Villa, but Shirley is living there alone. What's in his mind?"
Carson thought hard and finally realized Jay's intentions. "Young Master, are they trying to matchmake you and Shirley?"
Cole's handsome face instantly turned stone cold. He tore through the sofa leather with his hands and said angrily, "Shirley Severe is just the Severes adopted daughter. She has no background, no education, and no beauty. Why do they think I'd fall for her?
Carson also felt that the gentle young master and the lowly Shirley were not a great match. Then, he said,' Maybe I'm worrying about it too much."
Cole said, "Follow Jay closely for these next few days. I need to know the real reason why Jay came up to Mount Pearl."

Chapter 1402
"Yes."
Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.
Angeline looked at the beautiful mountain stream as well as the red and green plants. The red ones were autumn maple and golden raintree while the green ones were sweet-scented osmanthus. Her hatred toward Cole had inexplicably diminished.
Jay came over and hugged her from behind. He said in a sour manner, "I knew you'd like it here, Angeline."
Angeline felt guilty. "Every tree here symbolizes the time Cole had been waiting for me. Every courtyard here is Cole's tolerance for me. But in this lifetime, I'm destined to let him down."
Jay sighed with sorrow. "Humans are not plants, so we're not heartless. Angeline, I'll allow you to feel moved by this, but I won't allow you to feel anything more."
Angeline had always been determined and resolute in dealing with romantic feelings and would never drag things out.
Angeline took Jay's hand and recited the vow affectionately, "In sickness and in health, until death do us part.
"I only have that one wish in my life now, Jaybie."
Jay smiled brightly. "Then, I'll be spending my entire life to realize your wish."
Angeline looked at Refreshing Breeze Courtyard's beautiful scenery and said, "Jaybie, how about transforming Refreshing Breeze into our Carefree Garden? That way, we can put him far away from our thoughts."
Jay readily agreed. "Alright."
In the following days, Jay began to transform Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.
Refreshing Breeze Courtyard's signage was modified into a heart-shaped wooden sign with trumpet creepers carved on one side and a kapok tree on the other. There were striking new words in the middle-' Green Plum Town'.
Green Plum Town had now replaced Refreshing Breeze Courtyard!
Tears filled Angeline's eyes when she saw Green Plum Town's signage.
"You're the kapok tree, and I'm the trumpet creeper, Jaybie." She smiled as bright as the flowers.
Jay walked over and lovingly rubbed her head. Then, he said, "In my heart, you're the trumpet creeper and the kapok tree."
In Jay's heart, Angeline could be cute and helpless like a trumpet creeper in times of peace and harmony. However, she could also be as luxuriant as a kapok tree in times of trouble, sheltering others from wind and rain.
Angeline buried her face in Jay's arms and shyly said, "But, I'll always be your trumpet creeper."
Jay hugged her tightly, and his eyes appeared gleaming and gentle.
Angeline probably did not know this, but she had always been his kapok tree in his heart.
Ultimately, Refreshing Breeze Courtyard's flowers, plants, and shrubs were completely replaced with blue jacarandas, kapok trees, and other flowers....
Angeline watched the unfamiliar scene transform into the most familiar images in her memory as her heart was filled up by Jay little by little. Cole was pulled out of her world, little bits at a time.
After Cole found out about Jay transforming Refreshing Breeze Courtyard, he was obviously indignant.
"What right does he have to be so overbearing? He completely ruined my Refreshing Breeze Courtyard. Green Plum Town, what a common name. Is it as elegant as my Refreshing Breeze Courtyard?"
In a very objective and fair manner, Carson said," Young Master's Refreshing Breeze Courtyard was indeed elegant and refined. Green Plum Town is tacky, but outsiders can easily understand it. We all know that Jay and Angelina were childhood sweethearts. We're aware of how they look at each other."
Cole was dazed. He was merely jealous and ignored all of the new plants' meaning.
Jay was intentionally showing off!
Cole thought about the destruction of his Refreshing Breeze Courtyard and his gaze turned bitter.
"He's so cruel!"
Jay was not willing to leave behind even a trace of himself.
Chapter 1403
Chapter 1403
Angeline was not idly sitting by when Jay was renovating Refreshing Breeze Courtyard.
She was knitting a pair of macrame knots into white long and thick bands from day till night. There were two Turk's head knots, one on the left and one on the right. Trumpet creepers connected them in the middle.
Once she was done, Angeline brought the band over to Cold River Park where Jenson and Baby Robbie lived.
Jenson and Baby Robbie were playing chess. Jenson had just pulled off a checkmate and was looking at the troubled Baby Robbie complacently, saying, "You have nowhere to go except surrender."
Baby Robbie was unconvinced as he grabbed onto his head, unwilling to admit defeat. He said, "I admit that your brain is better than mine. On paper, you're better at talking about war, but when it's time to act and use your hands, you're definitely not a worthy opponent of mine."
Jenson flipped the chessboard angrily and said," Then, let's give it a go."
Hence, the two boys fought at a close range with their handcuffs on.
Baby Robbie always did have a knack for martial arts.
Later, the military intelligence division's devilish training that took place day and night was also added to his initial ability. He displayed his skills when fighting with Jenson, showing off his own fighting technique that consisted of taekwondo's flexibility and tai chi's magical amplifying effects. One could also sense the essence within him that made it obvious he had come from a mixed martial arts school. The two children's ground-shaking fight caused Zayne and Josephine next door to think that an earthquake had occurred. They were trying their best to escape.
"There's an earthquake, Jens. Run, quickly." Zayne and Josephine had not forgotten to warn their nephew this time around.
Only after the two of them ran out did they find that the surrounding buildings were not moving at all. The distant mountains and nearby trees were so quiet that even the leaves were not shaking. "There's no earthquake?" Zayne touched the back of his head and said with a curious look.
Josephine tugged his sleeve and pointed toward Jenson's room. "Look at that, Zayne."
Several holes had been punched into the roof of Jenson's house as small objects like vases flew out of windows and doors.
"What on earth are they doing?" Josephine was puzzled.
Zayne's brain was out in the open.
Josephine exerted all her strength to grip his buttocks. "Can't you see that they're fighting?"
Zayne said with a relaxed expression, "Our dear Jens is a smart boy. No one will be able to bully him, so don't worry about it. Let them continue. Jens will definitely not be the loser." "On second thought, Cold River Park is that scoundrel, Cole York's, other courtyard. It won't be a good thing if these two brats destroy another courtyard, right?"
Josephine's beautiful face appeared to be enraged. She rolled up her sleeves as she walked toward Jenson's room. "Who dares to bully our darling Jens? Does he think we're invisible?" Zayne was worried about Josephine, hence he followed suit.
The two sneaked up to Jenson's door. They wanted to lean onto the door panel to listen to the movements inside, but the door panel suddenly fell and pressed onto them instead. "Owie!" Josephine groaned.
"Ack, it hurts so bad!" Zayne exaggerated his howling.
Jenson and Baby Robbie hurriedly moved the door panel away. Then, Josephine and Zayne awkwardly got up from the ground.
The two looked at Jenson and Baby Robbie in a speechless manner. Baby Robbie's clothes were torn, and Jenson's trouser leg was also ripped apart. They looked like a fluttering colorful flag. It was truly a terrible sight to behold.
Zayne only now realized the severity of the situation and scolded them, "You're not allowed to fight."
Jenson and Baby Robbie ignored him, proceeding to fight more ferociously.
Zayne shouted violently, "When are you guys stopping?"
"When he admits defeat!"
"When he admits defeat!"
Jenson and Baby Robbie said in unison.
Zayne picked up the wooden stick next to him and pointed it at Baby Robbie to threaten him. "You're not allowed to bully our dear Jens. I'm warning you, if anything happens to Jens, I'll not spare you."
Chapter 1404
Chapter 1404
Jens hated it when his uncle isolated poor Baby Robbie to help him out. He immediately lost his temper and scolded Zayne, "My matters are none of your business."
"Why are you so offended? Uncle is only helping you out because you seem like you can't beat him."
"Nonsense, why can't I beat him?" Jenson was not admitting defeat.
Zayne said, "Well, it appears your clothes are more torn apart than his."
Jenson replied, "That's not the right way to judge the outcome. The victor has to knock his opponent to the ground first."
Zayne and Josephine looked at each other in dismay." Doesn't it mean this is going to be endless?"
Would this be okay?
Just when Zayne and Josephine were at a loss, Angeline came to visit.
Josephine looked at Angeline who was coming from a distance and started waving. "Sis Angeline."
Jenson and Baby Robbie, who had been fighting ferociously, suddenly glanced at each other tacitly.
Then, they obediently sat on the shabby sofa.
Zayne was dumbstruck. "F*ck! My mouth is nearly dry from trying to persuade you guys. But as soon as Angeline walks over, the two of you become such goody-two-shoes."
Angeline was standing by the door with a smile. When she noticed the broken door panel and the mess inside the room, Angeline was immediately stunned.
"What happened?"
"You came right on time. The two rascals were fighting," Zayne complained in an almost excited tone of voice, "They almost tore down the whole rooftop."
Angeline walked in with a stern expression. Jens and Baby Robbie did not want their mommy to see their badly-mangled hands. As such, the two sat close to each other tacitly with their hands behind their backs.
"Mommy, we were just learning martial arts." Jenson did not want Mommy to worry about them, so he lied.
Angeline stretched out her hands and commanded, " Give me your hands."
Jenson and Baby Robbie once again tacitly showed her their hands that were not handcuffed together.
Angeline said with a gloomy expression, "Your other hands."
Jenson and Baby Robbie hesitated for a moment before obediently extending their hands.
Angeline saw the two wrists that were badly clasped by the cuffs. She was so distressed that her tears began to flow.
"Why are you fighting?" Angeline asked in a choked-u p manner.
Jenson did not want Mommy to know that he desperately wanted to win over Baby Robbie to dispel Baby Robbie's desire to escape.
On the other hand, Baby Robbie did not want Mommy to know that he desperately wanted to defeat Jenson just to see if he had a chance of escaping.
Hence, the two babies had the same taciturn expressions.
Zayne and Josephine pointed toward Baby Robbie before saying, "He was the one who started it. Jenson was merely defending himself."
Baby Robbie lowered his head and said nothing. His uncle and aunt were truly against him now, and it made him feel dejected.
Jenson glared viciously toward Zayne and Josephine." I started it, Mommy."
Zayne and Josephine stared at Jenson in disbelief. " Jens, we're doing this for your own good. You'll get killed by him sooner or later if you don't value your life over your friends." Angeline was tearful as she said, "You should know that I don't like it when you guys fight."
Jenson and Baby Robbie saw how sad Mommy was and quickly lowered their heads as they admitted their mistakes. "I was wrong."
"I was wrong."
Only then did Angeline burst into a smile. She asked with reddened eyes, "Where are the keys to the handcuffs, Jens?"
Chapter 1405
Chapter 1405
Jenson replied, "Behind the mural."
Angeline took out the key from behind the mural and walked toward Baby Robbie.
Zayne yelled in a panic, "What are you doing, Angeline? Are you letting this hoodlum go?"
Angeline looked at Baby Robbie tenderly. In her eyes, it did not matter how mysterious and terrifying his identity was now and how much blood he had spilled, or how many insidious things Baby Robbie did. He would always be her most innocent child.
Angeline unlocked Baby Robbie's handcuffs, held up his injured hand, and stroked on it gently. The compassion in her eyes revealed the tolerance and selflessness of maternal love.
Baby Robbie was free now, and he had the sudden urge to squeeze a mischievous sneer toward Zayne.
Zayne was so scared that he quickly jumped on Josephine to find a sense of security. He said while shivering, "Little fellow, I'll be your most faithful minion from now on. So... So, you mustn't try to kill m e!" Baby Robbie was smug inwardly.
Angeline proceeded to pinch his face and gently
warned him, "Don't be up to mischief now."
Baby Robbie's terrifying expression instantly switched to a harmless and well-behaved one, looking just like a little puppy.
Angeline then unfastened the handcuffs for Jens as well.
Jens did not agree with his mother's decision. He knew Baby Robbie best. This guy only had the Nine Paintings in his mind now, and he was sure that Baby Robbie would leave once he got his hands on the Nine Paintings.
Once there were no handcuffs to restrain Baby Robbie, he would be like a monkey without a leash. Jenson was afraid that he would create chaos.
"Mommy, you can't get rid of the handcuffs. He'll run away."
Little did he know that in the next moment, Angeline took out the macrame knots she made and placed one side on Baby Robbie and the other side on Jenson's wrist.
"What is this?" Baby Robbie asked curiously.
"Macrame knots," replied Angeline.
Baby Robbie saw the two Turk's head knots connected by a row of trumpet creepers and was instantly dumbfounded.
Mommy constantly compared herself to trumpet flowers, so when she used these trumpet vines to
connect the two knots, it was self-explanatory.
He could use the sharpest weapon he had to break apart the previous cuffs. However, he dared not chop these trumpet flowers in half.
Jenson looked at the trumpet creepers and the two Turk's head knots with a smile.
Then, he eagerly glanced at Baby Robbie. The expression in his eyes was clearly meant to provoke Baby Robbie, as if saying, 'Try and escape now.'
Baby Robbie proceeded to lower his head.
Angeline pinched Jenson's face as well and warned him, "You're not allowed to be mischievous too."
Zayne jumped off from Josephine's arms and reached out to touch the texture of the knots. Then, he asked in confusion, "I thought it's a high-tech product, but it's obviously an ordinary brocade? Can... Can this thing even bind him?"
Angeline nodded. "Yes."
After doing this, Angeline felt more relieved.
She smiled and asked the two children, "What do you guys want to eat for lunch today?"
"Bacon," Baby Robbie chirped.
"Bacon," Jenson replied cheerfully.
Angeline gently patted the two children's heads. "Wait here, Mommy will cook some up for you."
Once Angeline left, Josephine stood on the same spot a s she stared stupidly at Baby Robbie.
Angeline was so concerned about the prisoner and worried about the handcuffs digging into his wrist. Moreover, she was so warm toward him. It was evident that this person was a special prisoner.
Chapter 1406
Chapter 1406
Then, the macrame knots ultimately confirmed Josephine's speculation.
She was almost sure that the prisoner was Baby Robbie.
Zayne was afraid that once Baby Robbie broke free from the flimsy knots, it would be bad for them.
Hence, he tried to pull Josephine away.
Josephine broke free from his hand and strolled toward Baby Robbie. She tentatively asked, "Do you want to escape?"
Baby Robbie lifted the macrame knots and put on a bitter expression on his handsome face.
How could he escape now?
This macrame knot was akin to a charm that was testing his sincerity. If he dared to cut it off so mercilessly, how disappointed would Mommy be in him?
Mommy was in terrible health now. Would he be willing to make Mommy angry?
Josephine was being mischievous. "I can cut it off for you. As long as you promise me you'll never come back to Mount Pearl."
Baby Robbie,
Josephine turned around to look for a knife after speaking. Then, she took a fruit knife and walked toward Baby Robbie.
The frightened Jenson and Baby Robbie involuntarily did a backflip, then they jumped up and down the room.
Zayne was even more frightened and ran over to restrain Josephine. "Are you crazy, Josie? How can you cut off the rope that binds him?"
Josephine suddenly laughed out loud.
She was so ecstatic that her cutest and warmest little nephew in the world, Baby Robbie, had returned.
Josephine stuffed the fruit knife into Zayne's hand and said, "Don't you worry. Even if you want to cut off the macrame knots on their hands, these two brats wouldn't let you succeed."
Zayne was stunned. However, he also noticed that these two fellows were deadly afraid of cutting the macrame knots.
Josephine complimented, "Sis Angeline's trick is truly one of a kind."
"Why is it one of a kind?" Zayne asked curiously.
Josephine explained, "These ropes are binding them together, but the knots are actually connecting their hearts. If I'm not mistaken, the knots were carefully made by Sis Angeline, and the trumpet creepers in the middle represent Angeline's life force. Meanwhile, the two Turk's head knots at the end represent these two little bunnies. One is Jenson, and the other one is... Baby Robbie."
Zayne exclaimed afterward, "Ack, so this little hoodlum is Baby Robbie?"
He recalled how he was so frightened by Baby Robbie during this period of time that he started to feel silly now. He could not stop his anger from showing.
While he pulled his sleeves up, he went around looking for a broom. Then, he fiercely scolded," Stinking brat, you deceived your own uncle. You deliberately flirted around with Jens and made me worried for so many days. Then, you intimated me and almost made me sh*t my pants. If I don't give you a spanking today, I'll fail as your uncle!"
Baby Robbie quibbled while he fled, "It was your impure thoughts that soiled me and Jenson's innocent brotherhood. Also, I didn't intimidate you. You're just timid... You're a grown man, yet you jumped on your wife to ask for protection. What an embarrassment!" 1
Zayne chased after him for a long time. He was starting to huff violently, yet he could not catch even a single hair on Baby Robbie's body.
He threw the broom to the side and lay tiredly on the sofa.
"You're so capable now, huh? Uncle can't outrun you now."
"You couldn't outrun me even from way before."
Zayne, "..."
Baby Robbie cast a glance at Zayne and Josephine. He once again reversed the topic and teased. "How did you two end up together?" "It's a long story. You should be talking about yourself. When did you become such a heinous villain?" Zayne replied to him with a question.
Baby Robbie retorted, "Then, why did you abandon Aunty Shirley? And you, how did you come to adopt a scumbag?"
Zayne deliberately confused the right and wrong, saying, "This is all your mommy's fault. She forcibly separated Aunty Shirley and me, even turning Aunty Shirley into a daughter of the Severe family. Since I couldn't change her mind, I was only left with the option of respecting her decision. You guys know that your mommy has the highest position in the family's hierarchy."
Chapter 1407
Chapter 1407
Jenson revealed the truth and said, "It's because the two of you are always casting flirtatious glances at each other in front of Aunty Shirley. That's why she's generous enough to let you guys be together." Baby Robbie sighed. "What a scumbag."
Zayne, "..."
If there was a competition for being sharp-tongued, Jenson and Baby Robbie were unbeatable. Zayne knew that he simply could never defeat them. He dragged Josephine with him and said, "I'm scared of you brats, goodbye."
After Josephine and Zayne left, Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at each other. The smiles on their faces instantly switched back to arrogantly cold expressions.
"Are we continuing?" Jenson asked.
Baby Robbie shook his head and frowned. He languidly fell on the sofa as if he had exerted all his strength to avoid fighting Jenson.
"I have to get back, Jens." Baby Robbie looked at Jenson pitifully. His obsidian pupils shone resolutely.
"Can you give me a reason?" Jenson asked.
Baby Robbie's eyes flickered. "I can't say."
Jenson insisted. "Then, I'm not going to let you go."
Baby Robbie sat up. "Jens, what do I have to do so that you'll let me go?"
Jenson lifted the macrame knots. "These represent Mommy's trust toward us. She believes that I'll do everything to protect you, and she also believes that you wouldn't abandon her."
Jenson picked up the fruit knife and shoved it into Baby Robbie's hand. "Cut it off if you want to leave. I won't stop you."
Baby Robbie threw the fruit knife away. Mommy had suffered so much for him. How could he hurt
Mommy's heart again?
Seeing Baby Robbie's frustrated expression, Jenson smiled as he teased. "If you want to escape, I can help you out as well."
Baby Robbie was ecstatic. "Really?"
Jenson retorted, "Take me with you."
Baby Robbie rolled his eyes at him.
Jenson smirked and said, "Don't worry about it. You're my brother. Even if you're doing the most heinous things in the world, I'll give up my life to be with you." The corners of Baby Robbie's lips started twitching." I'm not up to anything evil."
Jenson interrogated, "Have you killed anyone?"
Baby Robbie hesitated for a moment. "No."
"Then, have you stolen anything?"
Baby Robbie replied, "Plenty of times."
Jenson's eyebrows froze. His hands were uncontrollably pinching Baby Robbie's collar as he questioned further in a stirred-up manner, "What did you steal?" Jenson could still ignore it if he was merely a thief or a robber.
However, Jenson was well-aware of Baby Robbie's unique new identity. If he were to steal anything, they were probably not things simple in nature. If it involved national treasures or anything of the sort, then Baby Robbie had made a colossal mistake.
Baby Robbie saw the worry in Jenson's eyes and his heart warmed up. Then, his mouth muttered, "The hearts of ladies. Does that count?"
Jenson sullenly shoved him away. However, the next moment, Jenson was even more stirred up. "Don't tell me you're no longer a..."
Baby Robbie laughed and said, "You're thinking too far. That lady was constantly up to no good, so I gave her some sleeping pills. At two o'clock in the morning, I secretly transported her from home to a lone grave in a barren mountain. It was considered a punishment for her. You should've seen her face when she woke u
p. She almost went insane... Haha!"
Jenson was stunned.
Seeing the corners of Baby Robbie's mouth split open a s he laughed so domineeringly, Jenson said in disapproval, "You seem to have lived a very fulfilling life these few years?" Baby Robbie chuckled dryly.
At this moment, the lunch bell rang. Jenson quickly pulled Baby Robbie up. Then, he said, "Let's go. We have to eat Mommy's bacon."
Baby Robbie nodded.
Chapter 1408
Chapter 1408
When the two of them went into Green Plum Town, they saw Baby Zetty pestering and pulling Brother Finn's arm. Meanwhile, Finn stubbornly took her little hand off again and again to hold onto it just like an
old father would.
Baby Zetty looked reluctant.
Finn earnestly instructed Baby Zetty, "Go in now. Don't let Daddy and Mommy wait for you."
Baby Zetty was still pulling onto his arms, unwilling to let go. "Brother Finn, come in with me."
Finn said helplessly, "Today is the day when your little family is reunited. Master Ares and the missus must have something to say to you in private. I'll not be going in to make a scene."
Baby Zetty smiled shamelessly. "You're a future son-in-law, so you're considered a member of our family."
Finn,
As soon as Baby Robbie and Jenson walked over, they heard Baby Zetty's brazen words. Immediately, their handsome faces showed cringed expressions.
"What on earth are they doing?" Baby Robbie asked curiously.
Jenson coolly replied, "Can't you tell. Our little snotface is trying to stick herself onto Brother Finn."
Baby Robbie joked as he smiled mischievously, saying, "The little snotface is delivering herself to him on a silver platter. It'd be a waste not to take her."
Finn felt so ashamed of being made fun of by these three little brats that he just wanted to dig a hole and shove his head in it. He struggled to break free from Baby Zetty's hand. Then, he turned to leave quickly.
Looking at Finn's back as he left, Baby Zetty was furious.
Baby Robbie teased Baby Zetty again. "Take a look in the mirror. You're as flat as a pancake. Your front's barely protruding, and your backside is barely showing. Why would he even like you?" Baby Zetty rolled her eyes at him. "It's none of your business."
Then, she suddenly thought of how this prisoner had harmed her daddy and mommy. Baby Zetty felt a surge of fierce resentment toward him. She exclaimed, "What are you doing here, you prisoner? Our family doesn't welcome you here. Go away, get lost!"
Baby Robbie showed her the macrame knots. "I'd love to get lost, but you guys have to give me a choice!"
Baby Zetty looked at the macrame knots and suddenly hid behind Jenson in fear. "Big Brother, why did you
replace the cuffs with ropes?"
Jenson laughed. "Mommy changed it."
Baby Zetty looked at the macrame knots suspiciously. Only then did she realize that there was something on it. "Trumpet creepers? Macrame knots?"
Baby Zetty looked at Baby Robbie in astonishment." Why did my mommy make you a macrame knot?"
"Because she loves me," Baby Robbie said proudly.
Baby Zetty looked at Baby Robbie's particularly mature face that was part of his disguise and his cheeky smile. She got so furious that she walked up to him and raised her foot toward his crotch.
It was so painful that Baby Robbie hugged the area and cried out tragically. "Oh, you little shrewd midget. Who'll marry you in the future?"
Baby Zetty replied furiously, "Leecher, I'll have you die without descendants."
Baby Robbie sat on the ground, looking at Baby Zetty frivolously. "Have you gotten permission from your mommy and daddy to do this?"
Not only would Mommy and Daddy not agree to this, even Jenson, as the older brother, disagreed with her.
Jenson's expression became solemn as he scolded Baby Zetty, "Don't hurt him, Baby Zetty."
Baby Zetty looked at Jenson in wonder. "He hurt Mommy and Daddy, Big Brother. This is nothing. I
should've killed him."
Once she was done with her words, she furiously proceeded to kick Baby Robbie once more.
Baby Robbie gritted his teeth in pain. He resentfully looked at Baby Zetty and threatened her, "Don't you for a second think that I don't beat up girls. When I'm mean "
"So? Who's afraid of who right now?" Baby Zetty exclaimed fiercely.
The fist Baby Robbie raised was placed back down hopelessly. "Fine, I'm afraid of you."
Jenson was unable to restrain a smile.
When they were younger, Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty were inseparable. The two had a deep affection and connection toward one another. Baby Zetty was very dependent on Baby Robbie, and Baby Robbie also took great care of his sister. One would have never seen this scene of them sharply opposing each other previously.
Chapter 1409
Chapter 1409
After beating up Baby Robbie, she quickly turned and left abruptly.
Baby Robbie looked at Baby Zetty's arrogant march, sighing sorrowfully.
"That little midget's temper grew with her age! Wasn't she adorable and cuddly before?"
Jenson squatted in front of him and teased. "You hurt her favorite mommy. Are you still expecting her to get cuddly with you?"
Baby Robbie was depressed.
Jenson continued, "However, she misses her brother, Baby Robbie, very much. If you're willing to reveal your identity, your adorable and cuddly angelic sister will return."
This slightly convinced Baby Robbie as he missed the days when Baby Zetty would follow him around, obeying his every word.
It was just that he was now a military intelligence division's agent and could no longer acknowledge his family members. Otherwise, the military intelligence division would execute him for violation of military discipline.
A faint sadness abruptly filled Baby Robbie's eyes.
Jenson could see even the smallest changes in his expression. He pulled him up and said, "Let's go. Don't let Mommy and Daddy wait too long."
Jay was placing the tableware on the table. Seeing Baby Zetty walking in angrily with her mouth pouting, he asked with concern, "Did Big Brother Finn make my little Baby Zetty angry again?" Baby Zetty said coquettishly, "Daddy, why don't you invite Brother Finn to eat with us?"
Jay gave it a thought before replying, "Because the Ares family is having a small meeting today, so people with different surnames cannot participate." Baby Zetty rolled her eyes and said slyly, "Daddy, even Mommy is not an Ares. Does that mean she shouldn't participate in Ares family's meeting?" The smile on Jay's face slowly faded as he stared at Baby Zetty in a daze.
At that moment, the father's feelings were mixed.
Baby Zetty used to love Mommy so much. However, now she did not hesitate to show her fangs toward Mommy for Finn.
Sure enough, a girl had to be married off when she was of age.
Jay sternly corrected her. "Your mommy is an Ares."
Baby Zetty decided to use Jay's words against him." Then, I'm a Gallagher from this moment onward."
Jay,
"You're not even close to her level yet," Jay said indignantly.
Angeline came out carrying a plate of small lobsters. She saw the father and daughter staring at each other bitterly. Meanwhile, Jenson and Baby Robbie were standing by the door, watching the fire burning opposite them.
Angeline shook her head helplessly. She walked over and made Jay, who was angry beyond words, sit down on the dining chair. She gently patted his cheek and soothed him.
"Finn is a fine young man. He won't hurt Baby Zetty, so don't worry about it."
Jay looked at Angeline solemnly.
When he was young, he also made a great promise to protect his beloved girl and never let her suffer any grievances. However, he was a young man ignorant about love. Coupled with his half-baked experiences, he still managed to let Angeline suffer in the end.
Even after her so-called death, he could not compensate her with a proper posthumous marriage. The kind of powerlessness he felt when he fought against the grand old master at the time remained fresh in his memory.
He was full of disdain for himself. It was truly unfortunate that Angeline had fallen in love with him.
This was the only regret he had in this life.
Hence, he would not wish that his children fell in love too early in life. Immature love would be akin to a green apple that tasted astringent. Would there be any sweetness?
He had zero tolerance toward his daughter.
He was reluctant to let his daughter taste the bitterness of falling in love at an early age like Angeline.
"I won't let it." Jay was authoritative and decisive.
Baby Zetty protested in a low voice. "It's not fair. Daddy can do it, so why not us?!"
Jay was not the fish, so how would he know the joy of said fish?
Angeline herself felt that falling in love with Jay at the age of ten was the happiest and most worthwhile thing in her life.
Therefore, she did not hesitate to disobey Jay's orders and encouraged Baby Zetty to pursue her true love bravely.
"Baby Zetty, if you like Brother Finn, then go for it.
Have faith!"

Jay turned his head and looked at the childish Angeline. The childlike smile on Angeline's face disappeared in a flash. She continued hypocritically," But of course, children should focus on their studies. Don't be overthinking about love now."
Jay,
Jay was in a mixed frame of mind. He never dreamed that the biggest obstacle in educating their children would be Angeline herself.
Baby Bobbie and Jenson walked in at this moment.
Baby Robbie asked Mommy tentatively, "If she's allowed, then is Jens allowed?"
Jenson glared at Baby Robbie. Why did this fellow push him out as a shield?
Did he have a crush as well, like Baby Zetty?
Angeline replied with a stern expression, "Boys aren't allowed."
"Why not?" Baby Robbie and Jenson asked in a puzzled manner.
Mommy was having double standards, right?
"I'm afraid that you'll wreak havoc on the girls."
Angeline smiled.
Jenson,
Baby Robbie,
Baby Robbie smirked and said to Jenson, "You can still do it. As long as you don't go past the girl's neck."
Jenson glared at Baby Robbie and almost burst into flames. He gritted his teeth and said harshly, "I'm not falling in love so early."
As the elder brother, Jenson was exceptionally precocious. He had watched how his parents experienced those calamities since childhood and saw Daddy's pain as well as loneliness in waiting for his love. He could understand the reason for Daddy's decision.
If one was not destined to be together, one should not let love sprout prematurely. Otherwise, there would be countless thorns waiting for them on the path of love.
Daddy merely loved them too much. He did not want his children to repeat his suffering after everything he went through.
Jay cast a relieved look to Jenson.
Baby Zetty said, "Daddy, you said that our family is democratic, right?"
Jay nodded. "Yes." He quietly looked at Baby Zetty. He was well aware of how many lousy ideas this daughter of his had.
Baby Zetty smirked. "Then, shouldn't we vote by show of hands on the question of whether we can fall in love early?"
Angeline nodded in agreement to Baby Zetty's suggestion. "Good idea, then show your hands to vote."
Jay's expression was stiff. His face appeared stern and indifferent.
Angeline looked at him with a coy smile. It was like a spring breeze blowing through thousands of pear blossom trees. Her beauty was rippling.
Then, Jay subconsciously nodded as if there was a demon at work. "Okay."
Angeline was relieved and cheerfully said, "Those who are in favor of young love, please raise your hands!"
As soon as she finished her sentence, Baby Zetty took the lead in raising her hand.
Jay's icy gaze scanned through everyone's faces. It was as if whoever raised their hands were all against him.
Angeline looked at Jay apologetically, but she still bravely raised her hand.
Baby Robbie also wanted to support his mommy and sister, but when he was about to raise his hand, he found a serious problem. One of his hands was constrained by Jenson using the knots binding them together, and Daddy was holding onto his other hand.
Baby Robbie could only smile apologetically at Mommy.
Baby Zetty counted the votes and said with a frustrated expression, "Only me and Mommy raised our hands. Daddy and Jenson did not. This round is a tie. So what should we do now?"
She immediately took Baby Robbie out of the picture.
Jenson pointed at Baby Robbie and said, "Are you treating him like he's invisible, Baby Zetty?"
Baby Zetty pouted. "He's not even one of us."
Jenson said, "He is."
His tone was firm and not at all doubtful.
