Ch. 1461..1470

Chapter 1461

Angeline hurriedly dashed out with a cloak in her hands.

When Angeline saw Iris' corpse, she was petrified.

Jay was afraid that she would be cold, so he took her cloak and carefully placed it on her. He comforted, saying, "I'll deal with the things here, Angeline. You don't have to worry-"

Angeline interrupted Jay and tremblingly said, "I know her. She's Iris from the military intelligence division."

Angeline's eyes were red in an instant, and her voice became choked. "When I was imprisoned by the military intelligence division and Jens brought people over to rescue me, she was the one who carried me out of their stronghold. She was cautious along the way for fear of me falling. I still remembered what she said to me. She told me that Lil Fox was a good person and that he had no choice but to treat me that way. She didn't want me to blame him. She was a kind-hearted child. How did she..."

Jay was choking with emotions when he said, "It's no wonder Jens wants us to bury her. This child probably died unjustly. Angeline, since you like her, then why don't we make her our foster daughter? That way, we

can bury her under our family name."

Angeline nodded.

Carson took Iris' body into the hall and placed her on a soft couch in the corner.

Angeline mulled over cleaning up and changing Iris' clothes. However, she thought it would be too much on her plate to do it on her own. As such, she said to Jay, "Jaybie, call Zayne and the others over to help out. Ask Baby Zetty to find a new set of clothes for her."

Jay merely followed her command.

Very soon, Zayne and Josephine rushed to Green Plum Town after they got the news.

Angeline personally cleaned up Iris' corpse while Baby Zetty brought out some clothes she had not worn yet. Then, Angeline proceeded to put the clothes on Iris.

Iris' opened eyes were filled with sadness and unwillingness to pass. Angeline was reluctant to close them.

Angeline said lovingly and affectionately to Iris, "My dear child, I know you must've had a tough life and there's a lot of sorrow in your heart. But don't worry, Aunty here will ask Baby Robbie to repay all of your enmities in this life. Please rest in peace."

Iris was still reluctant to close her eyes.

Angeline looked at Jay helplessly. "She must have

some concerns in her heart, Jaybie. It seems like she's filled with resentment. What do we do? She's not willing to go just yet..."

Jay stared at Iris who had died with her eyes wide open in a daze. He had never experienced death, so he had no clue as to what would happen to one's soul after they passed.

However, Angeline's soul had returned from the dead after being in a car accident because she missed him. She ultimately transmigrated into Rose's body, and only after her rebirth did she find sustenance. This was perhaps her persistent desire for survival, right?

There were still people or things that Iris cared about in this world.

Jay gave it a thought and seemed to have figured out a solution. He said, "Wait for me, I'll come back soon."

Jay left Green Plum Town and went straight to Cold River Park.

He pushed open Jenson and Baby Robbie's bedroom door, going straight to the bedside.

Baby Robbie, who had been tied up the whole day, was practically starving. He pitifully looked at Jay and said, "You guys have bound me here the whole day now. Why didn't you at least bring a couple of lollipops for me to relieve my hunger?"

Jay had brought a cup of hot chocolate over for Baby

Robbie. He slowly recovered his strength after gulping it down.

Then, Jay took out a sharp dagger and cut off the rope that was binding Baby Robbie's hands.

Once Baby Robbie was free, the first thing he did was run up to the window. He opened the curtains and looked at the sky that was turning bright from the east. The complex and restless look intertwined in Baby Robbie's eyes instantly settled down.

The military intelligence division's mission had ended at dawn.

Jenson had probably left Mount Pearl already.

Jenson had replaced him in walking the path of no return.

Now, he had to stay behind and be a good son for both him and Jenson.

"Daddy." Baby Robbie turned around and was finally able to utter the word he treasured so unscrupulously. He was immediately moved to tears.

Chapter 1462

Chapter 1462

Jay was choked up as he replied, "Yeah."

Jay walked over and gently placed his hand on Baby Robbie's shoulders. He said, "Jens, the Corvettes picked up a female corpse on the mountainside. She has the military intelligence division's mark on her body. Come and help Daddy identify her."

Baby Robbie looked at Daddy in shock. He was calling him Jens but was asking him to identify a military intelligence division's corpse? That meant he must have known that he and Jenson had switched identities. Daddy had tacitly accepted their little plan.

Baby Robbie was puzzled by Daddy's intention.

At this moment, Baby Robbie did not want to think about it too deeply. His whole mind was focused on the female corpse they found.

"A female corpse from the military intelligence division?"

Baby Robbie practically staggered to Green Plum Town. When Baby Robbie saw Sis Iris' body on the soft couch, he felt as if he was struck with a heavy object and was instantly stunned.

Baby Zetty's tender voice rang out. "Jens, come here and pay homage to Sis Iris. Mommy's about to make

her their foster daughter and give her a proper burial. But it seems like she has some remaining grievances, which explains why she's refusing to close her eyes."

Baby Robbie regained his senses and staggered toward Iris. When he reached the couch, he knelt on the ground weakly.

Jay was standing by the door when he said to the others, "Jens has a way to appease Iris' soul so that she'll close her eyes. The method might be too dark, so it's better if you guys leave for now." The people in the house moved to the courtyard one after another. Only Baby Robbie and Iris were left behind in the huge living room.

Baby Robbie held Iris' hand and burst into tears.

"Sis Iris!

"You said that you'd stay with me forever so that I won't ever be lonely again. You broke your promise."

The piercing pain could not suppress the rising hatred in his heart.

"Who killed you, Sis Iris? Who did this?"

Iris' sorrowful eyes were wide open. Baby Robbie looked at her as flames of hatred burned in his peach blossom eyes.

Although the military intelligence division's agents were all acting in the name of justice, they would inevitably hurt the innocent during battles in missions.

However, Iris would rather fail the mission and return to receive punishment than involve the innocent.

Iris was good, kind, and straightforward. She would cherish any Tom, Dick, or Harry's lives.

Baby Robbie wondered who would have the heart to murder the innocent Iris?

"Was it Jenson?" Baby Robbie held onto Iris' hand tightly. "Rest assured. If it's him, I'll help you get your revenge and personally make him apologize to you." Once Baby Robbie finished his sentence, he stretched out his hand to shut Iris' eyes.

However, Iris' unwilling eyes were still wide open.

Baby Robbie's heart felt inexplicably relieved.

"Is it Doomsday?" Baby Robbie gritted his teeth. "I'll find the murderer and let them pay with their own life."

Iris' eyes were still stubbornly wide open.

Baby Robbie was slightly confused. "If it's not Jens and not Doomsday... It can't be..."

Baby Robbie's face turned pale. He could hear Jenson's righteous and stern voice. "If the military intelligence division is truly on the right path, how could they kidnap children in broad daylight?" Baby Robbie leaned close to Iris' ears, his body somewhat lacking in strength. "Sis Iris, is it our foster father?"

Iris' eyes closed slightly.

Only half of her pupils remained in sight as she looked at Baby Robbie with hatred in her eyes.

Chapter 1463

Chapter 1463

Baby Robbie's voice began to tremble. "Is it Sis Five?"

Sis Five was the most brutal of them all, and only she could do things like killing one of their own.

However, Iris' eyes were still half-opened.

Baby Robbie had no clue. In his heart, the other sisters were so gentle and kind...

"Thirteen?"

"Twelve?"

"Sis Two?"

Baby Robbie's frame of mind was getting heavier. The only one he refused to believe had done it was Sis Daisy, but only her name was left.

"Was it... Sis Daisy?"

Iris' eyes gently fluttered across Baby Robbie's palm like a butterfly flapping its wings.

Baby Robbie moved his hand that was covering her eyes to see that Iris' eyes were already fully closed peacefully.

Baby Robbie's eyes turned scarlet, and the sense of trust that had been built up over the years was

instantly disintegrated. He stood up swaying and said, "Rest in peace, Sis Iris. I'll seek justice for you and vent out your hatred. If they willfully slaughter the innocent, I'll take revenge and wipe out your grudge.' That night, Jay took the Ares and Severe family members to the spot where they could witness Baby Robbie burying Iris.

Jay had personally carved the stone monument himself. The tombstone wrote: [Here lies Iris, Jay Ares and Angelina Severe's foster daughter.]

After Iris' burial, Angelina said a few words near the tomb, "I'm truly sorry for not being able to give you a beautiful funeral, Iris. You had a unique identity and we're not in charge here in Doomsday. We can only send you off in such a silent way. I truly hope you'll go peacefully."

Baby Robbie stood at the side with a blank expression. All of his sorrows were squandered, and he could no longer cry at this moment. He could not speak either. He could only look on helplessly as Iris was buried in the ground.

Jay gently circled his hand over Baby Robbie's shoulders. He could merely use this silent method to comfort him and give him strength.

When they returned to Green Plum Town, the grand old master and Spencer were waiting at the door anxiously for Jay's return.

Seeing them, Jay immediately went over and lowered his voice when he asked, "Grandpa, Uncle, how was the situation last night?"

Spencer solemnly said to Jay, "Our surveillance system showed that 13 agents invaded Mount Pearl last night. But only 12 agents went down the mountain."

The blunt and innocent Baby Zetty blurted out, "Oh, another one is dead. We buried her in the back mountain."

Baby Zetty's explanation did not relieve Spencer and the others. It was because they knew that among the 1 2 agents who descended the mountain, one of them was Jenson.

This meant that only 11 out of 13 agents who invaded Mount Pearl escaped last night.

Where was another one?

Jay's wise pupils flashed a cold light, and he said quietly, "Can you conduct an inch by inch search on Mount Pearl?"

Spencer said, "We don't have the time for it just yet."

The grand old master intervened. "I merely came here to tell you that you guys shouldn't be going out for now. Pay attention to your safety. Also, you're not that familiar with Yorks Stronghold's villagers, so be sure to keep your guard against assassins posing as one of our own. Exploit the method you used to escape Doomsday."

The grand old master's words were a wake-up call for everyone.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll be wary of strangers approaching us," Jay said in a flat tone.

The grand old master was not that worried about Jay but more so the people around him, such as Zayne and Josephine who he did not know much about. Hence, he took the chance to remind them.

The grand old master's falcon gaze swept sharply across the faces of everyone present. Zayne hurriedly demonstrated his obedience. "Don't worry, Grand Old Master. I'll be staying right here in Green Plum Town these few days. I won't go out even if it'll kill me."

Josephine nodded in agreement.

These two fellows proceeded to walk shamelessly into Green Plum Town while chatting.

Jay stood at the side, speechless.

The beautiful scene of him and Angeline being in their own world seemed to have been ruined once again for the next few days.

Chapter 1464

Chapter 1464

After the grand old master spread the word, he soon left with Spencer.

Jay turned his head and said to the two children, "Get in."

Angelina stood in place while somewhat glaring at Jay. She questioned him, "Where's Baby Robbie?"

Jay glanced at Baby Robbie beside him and a sense of panic flashed across his eyes. "Angeline, Baby Robbie ... went back."

Angeline trembled and walked into the house while feeling dispirited like frost-beaten wildflowers.

Baby Robbie abruptly ran forward and held Angeline's hand. He said in a somewhat coquettish tone," Mommy, don't worry. Baby Robbie will be fine."

His tone was a little hurried for fear that Mommy would be hurt or sad.

Jay's footsteps froze in place as he stared at Baby Robbie in a daze.

This child was born as positive as the sun and could always bring people warmth.

Angeline stared at Baby Robbie, and when she caught a glimpse of Baby Robbie's slightly upward,

enchanting peachy eyes, Angeline's heart instantly... stopped beating.

Was that not her Baby Robbie?

Did he just call her 'Mommy'?

Angeline was not a fool. She soon understood that Jenson and Baby Robbie had exchanged identities.

It was like back then when they were children.

Angeline did not know whether she was more happy o r worried.

She was happy that Baby Robbie, who had been living in the outside world where he suffered so much, was finally able to return to her. Now, he was able to enjoy his family's warmth.

What was worrying her now was Jenson. He had sneaked into the military intelligence division. Would he be able to escape all the dangers smoothly?

Jay stepped forward and said to Baby Robbie, "Go on i n. Daddy has something to say to Mommy."

Baby Zetty took Baby Robbie's hand and left.

Angeline looked at Jay dejectedly. "Did you plan this?"

Jay replied, "It was Jens' idea."

Angeline said, "He's not good at fighting..."

"But he's brilliant and really shrewd. He has his guards up against the military intelligence division. If it were Baby Robbie..." Jay's handsome face showed a weak smile. "I'm just afraid that he'll suffer a lot. And he might... end up like Iris..."

The fingers under Jay's sleeves trembled violently.

Angeline knew that when Jay accepted this decision, he must have suffered as much as she was right now.

Angeline held Jay's hand and patted the back of his hand softly. She accepted their misfortune helplessly and said, "You're a cut above others in terms of planning strategies, Jaybie. I should have more faith in you."

Jay embraced Angeline in his arms and said, "I'm sorry, Angeline. I didn't want to send Jenson away. But if we don't solve these military intelligence division issues, we'll never be able to rest easy. We can't be under Doomsday's protection forever!"

"Yeah."

Angeline had experienced all kinds of suffering when she lived.

However, no kind of suffering could beat a mother's endless care and worry for her child.

After breakfast, it started to drizzle under the cloudy sky.

Mount Pearl was shrouded in clouds, rain, and mist. It was blurring everyone's line of sight, and the steep road became more challenging to navigate after becoming wet.

However, this did not stop the village girls from going up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs.

Maya was one of those girls.

Her family's herb garden was the farthest one, so she had always walked toward the last section of the mountain road on her own.

The herb garden was located on a piece of land on a cliff, and a cave was dug into the cliff for them to rest while gathering herbs.

Chapter 1465

Chapter 1465

Maya placed her basket at the entrance of the cave as usual, but at this moment, she suddenly heard a heavy kick coming from inside.

Maya took a closer look and found a young girl in a white dress lying at the cave entrance. The girl's clothes were covered with bloodstains, and there were many scratches on her face. "Little girl." Maya shook the girl's arm gently.

The little girl had apparently fainted. The kind-hearted Maya hurriedly carried her into the basket and went back with her.

"Mama," Maya shouted as soon as she entered the house.

Maya's mother walked out and was shocked to see the little girl in the basket.

Maya explained, "I picked up this girl from the cave near our family's herb garden. Can you heal her, Mama?"

Mama looked uneasy and replied, "The Corvettes were here earlier to inform us not to take in anyone we don't know."

Maya smiled charmingly. "Look at her, Mama. She's so young and delicate. How can she be a bad person? The

gods told us to do more good deeds and help out the weak and helpless. I think the gods are testing us now. If we don't save her, the gods might get angry."

Mama was afraid of offending the gods, so she quickly put her hands together and said piously, "Praise the gods."

Then, she said to Maya, "Come and carry her into the house."

Maya carried the little girl onto a heatable brick bed. Mama took off her clothes to check her injuries. Then, she concluded, "She was injured in a fall. You're right, Maya. If she was a bad person, she would've known some martial arts and wouldn't have sustained such injuries."

Her injuries were too severe and Mama was slightly at a loss. "Maya, I don't have any bright red tree resin and pine rosin in my house. You have to borrow some from Judy."

Maya nodded. "Okay."

Maya ran all the way to Judy's house. Meanwhile, Judy had been upset over Jay rejecting her pouch and was throwing a temper tantrum at her father, Zechariah.

"I don't care, Father. I have to marry him."

"Goodness me. Even if you want to marry him, he has to be willing as well. He humiliated you at the banquet last night. Why can't you sense it? Master Ares only has his wife in his heart. He won't marry another."

Judy indignantly retorted, "You're just unwilling to help me."

The old Zechariah sighed helplessly. "I'm just worried that you'll suffer if you marry into that family."

Judy confidently said, "Aunty Sandra said that there are no men in this world who cannot be conquered. As long as you persevere and show him enough dignity on the outside and serve him tenderly and considerately at home, even a frozen heart will melt. Aunty Sandra used this method to conquer the patriarch. Just look at how well the patriarch treats Aunty Sandra now."

The old Zechariah hesitated slightly.

Everyone knew how much Spencer loved the madam in the past, and he was one of the witnesses. However, the madam was arrogant and could not tolerate any grievances. This let Second Madam Sandra take advantage of this loophole.

Sandra would gently comfort the patriarch every time they quarreled, and the two soon developed a deep relationship with one another. Soon, the madam angrily went to become an anchoress and ignored worldly affairs while Sandra was promoted to become the patriarch's most important person-in-charge.

Seeing that her father was slightly convinced, Judy shook his arm coquettishly. "Father, just agree to let me go see Brother Jay. I refuse to believe that I'm unable to conquer him with my beauty and kindness." Judy then analyzed the disadvantages of her rival in a n objective and fair manner. "Angeline is old and in poor health. She has quite a bad temper as well. Brother Jay has to wait on her so carefully. As time goes on, he'll get bored of her. I'm still young and beautiful, so I'm confident that Brother Jay will like me back."

The old Zechariah also admired Jay, so if Jay could be his son-in-law, he would naturally be happy about it.

He did not forcefully try to stop Judy but merely said tactfully, "Don't rush this matter, Judy. I'll allow you to go to Green Plum Town to see if Brother Jay needs your help with anything. You're only allowed to help out, but you're not allowed to butt heads with Madam Ares."

"Understood, Father." Judy was thrilled.

Then, Judy headed out while holding a flask of tea that would help with stomach issues.

Chapter 1466

Chapter 1466

As soon as Judy left, Maya stepped foot into her house.

"Uncle Zechariah, do you have bright red tree resin and pine rosin in your house?" Maya stood by the door and poked her head in. She asked Zechariah who was resting in the courtyard.

Zechariah became anxious as soon as he heard the mention of these two herbs. "Who got injured in your family, Maya?"

"I saved a wounded girl near my family's herb garden, Uncle Zechariah. Mama said that her injuries are too serious and she needs bright red tree resin and pine rosin."

At lightning speed, Zechariah went inside the house to look for bright red tree resin and pine rosin. He asked Maya, "Do you know the little girl?"

"No."

When Zechariah came out, there was a stern expression on his face that was full of vicissitudes." Didn't someone warn you not to take strangers in?"

Maya smiled and said, "She's just a child, Uncle. I can't just leave her to die."

Zechariah felt like he needed to be vigilant as this matter happened during such a critical juncture. He

said, "I'll come with you."

Maya then took Uncle Zechariah with her.

Green Plum Town.

Angeline and Josephine sat cross-legged on the sofa, chatting and drinking tea while eating fruits too. In order to keep out the cold, there was also a stove in front of the couch. Zayne was pestering Jay to play chess with him, but Jay despised his IQ level and continued to ignore him.

Meanwhile, Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie were playing in the courtyard.

Zayne was bored. He looked at Josephine and Angeline who were chatting so happily. He was filled with envy and said, "I'm jealous of those two girls. They have such a great relationship as if they're sisters by birth."

Jay glanced at Angeline and Josephine. He saw that Angeline was gently feeding Josie some nuts. His handsome face turned gloomy in an instant. Angeline had never treated him that way!

"Sis Angeline, has my big brother bullied you lately? If he has, you have to tell me. I'll get revenge for you," Josie suddenly uttered arrogantly. Angeline smiled and replied, "No."

Then, she got worried about Josephine. "Has Zayne bullied you? If he has, I'll cut him for you."

Josie shook her head. "No."

The two silly girls then laughed cheerfully.

Jay silently poured some tea and drank it in a single gulp.

Zayne was also angry, so he picked up his tea and drank it.

"Josie, Angel, the two of you should just spend the rest of your lives together." Zayne placed his cup down and ridiculed them.

Josie hugged Angeline intimately. "Sis Angeline and I are confidantes who share our weals and woes. We've taken an oath that if you guys don't want us anymore, then we'll just live together for the rest of our lives. So you two have to treat us better. Otherwise, if we're unhappy, Sis Angeline and I will elope."

"Yeap." Angeline nodded in agreement.

Jay let out a violent cough!

Other people had to watch out for fires, robberies, and best friends. However, he needed to watch out for his own sister!

Chapter 1467

Chapter 1467

"If you dare run off with Angeline, I'll snap your legs," Jay warned Josephine coldly.

Zayne tried to help his wife. "Angeline has legs as well. If she wants to run, why are you snapping Josephine's legs?"

Josephine murmured in dissatisfaction, "That's right."

Jay said, "If she hadn't seduced Angeline, would Angeline elope with her?"

Josephine had a shocked expression on her face. "You have to be partial, Big Brother. Why must I be the one who tricked Sis Angeline into eloping? It could be Sis Angeline who entrapped me instead."

Jay cast a gentle gaze toward Angeline and asked softly, "Are you willing to leave me all alone?"

"That'll depend on your performance." Angeline gave him a playful smile.

Jay's expression turned dark. Had he ever mistreated her?

Angeline's eyes shifted from Jay's icy face toward the courtyard path outside their door.

She saw Judy holding onto a flask and walking over with a smile on her face.

Angeline abruptly bounced off the sofa like an energetic bouncing ball and jumped into Jay's embrace. Then, she held Jay's face and started kissing him.

Jay was slightly startled, but it did not fail to make him grin.

'This girl has made some progress.

'She has finally learned how to discern body language.'

He placed his big, warm hand on her back and deepened the kiss.

Zayne spat out the tea in his mouth and was utterly speechless. "Can't you guys stop being in heat so suddenly? We're humans, not some animals. The essential difference between humans and animals is that we can restrain our behavior..."

Josephine also noticed Judy strolling in and hinted at Zayne.

Zayne finally realized something was amiss and turned around.

"F*ck, Big Brother, your peachy lady is here again."

When Jay was in a trance, he heard Zayne's little prompt and realized why Angeline was so proactive today.

Seeing that the door was not closed, Judy knocked on it lightly before walking in.

After a few steps in, she raised her gaze and saw

Angeline and Jay kissing while in each other's embrace. She was stunned in place for a short while.

Zayne put on an expression as if he was accustomed to it and explained to Judy, "Don't be too surprised, Little Judy. This is a common sight in this household. Today's scale is relatively mild as well."

Judy was somewhat embarrassed as she shyly looked at Jay. However, it looked like Jay and Angeline were not planning on stopping at all.

"Brother Jay, this is the tea I made for you. I heard the young master say that you have a weak stomach, so this will help to nourish it."

Angeline glared at Jay, her eyes filled with resentment.

Jay was a little overwhelmed and chose to stay silent.

At this moment, Josephine jumped up the sofa and took the flask from Judy. Then, she tried to push her out while thanking her. "Thanks for the tea, Judy. I'll thank you on behalf of my brother. You've seen how it is in there. There are some things that children shouldn't see. You're still a kid, so you should get out of there. I'll invite you over again some other day."

Judy's beautiful eyes showed unwillingness. "I'm not a kid..."

Josephine retorted, "You're 20 years younger than my brother, so technically, you can even be his daughter. How are you not a child? Look there, even Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie were both kicked out of the house.

You can go and wait over there with them."

Judy was pushed out the door by Josephine. She proceeded to close it and locked the door's bolt too.

Angeline and Jay then let go of each other.

Angeline heaved a deep breath and looked at Jay breathlessly. "You said you're not close to anyone of the opposite sex, so you shouldn't have any little girls in your life."

Jay licked his lips and tried to say something philosophical. "Everything in this world is balanced. Since the gods allowed you to meet Cole, then in return, they allowed me to meet Judy. I think the gods are using Judy to even out Cole."

 

Chapter 1468

Chapter 1468

Zayne immediately uttered out his speculation, "Is there any link between Cole and Judy? Don't try to change the subject and divert our attention from Judy's love for you." Angeline also noticed how far-fetched Jay's explanation was and said in a fit of pique, "How do you plan to handle that little girl?"

Jay hugged Angeline in his arms and patiently tried to coax her. "You know that I only have feelings for you."

Angeline smiled in relief.

Meanwhile, Zayne wanted to spoil the harmony. "My sister is asking you how you're going to deal with that little girl, yet you're sugarcoating and trying to bluff your way out instead."

Angeline realized that she was fooled earlier and looked at Jay indignantly. "Hmph, you just skipped my question."

Jay knitted his eyebrows. He was a grown man now. N o girl had ever dared to beg and cling to him before. The only other clingy person was actually his favorite Angeline. He never had the strength to refuse Angeline at all.

How could he make Judy completely give up on him? He could not think of a method for it.

Angeline deliberately tried to provoke him further." You have no idea how to reject Judy, huh?"

Jay hesitated slightly...

Angeline began to probe further. "You're trying to avoid my question."

She pushed him away angrily and turned her head to ignore him.

Jay glanced at Zayne for help, but Zayne merely shrugged powerlessly.

Jay tried to coax Angeline once more. "Let's be reasonable here, hmm? Angeline?"

Angeline continued to ignore him.

A jealous woman was never someone one could reason with.

Zayne added, "Why are you trying to reason with a woman, Big Brother? Women are the most unreasonable creatures in the world."

Josephine chimed in, rejoicing in Jay's misfortune, "Do you know why women live more happily than men? It's because they don't have to face the troubles men have to face-their wives. Haha!" Jay felt as though his head was about to explode.

Zayne gleefully added, "It looks like the invincible

dark emperor of the business world will also face such hopelessly stupid moments."

Jay had always understood Angeline's temperament, and she had always been relatively easy to coax. However, due to Zayne and Josephine's constant mingling today, all his moves lost their usual effectiveness.

Jay diverted the topic and stared coldly at Zayne and Josephine. "Since the two of you are staying at my place every day, are you no longer planning on creating another human being?"

Jay's words seemed to have struck a vital nerve.

Josephine's complexion turned gray.

She said frustratingly, "It's not working out."

Jay swiftly took out two appointment cards from his pocket and threw them at Zayne. He said, "Go to Doomsday Hospital for treatment. I visited the grand old master the other day. Chamberlain, an infertility specialist here, is waiting for you two."

Zayne complained, "I'm not going out there. There's an assassin on the loose. It's too dangerous."

"I'll ask Grayson and Finn to send you guys there," Jay said, being unusually kind.

Only then did Zayne and Josephine leave happily.

Once they left, only Jay and Angeline were left in the huge living room.

Jay walked over to Angeline and hugged her from behind. He asked softly, "Are you still angry?"

Angeline was seething as she said, "It's not like I'm angry at you. I'm merely unhappy."

Jay knew the feeling well since he was constantly jealous of Cole in the past as well. He had been inexplicably irritable like this too.

He felt strangely happy that Angeline was able to feel jealous because of him.

Chapter 1469

Chapter 1469

In the evening, Josephine and Zayne returned from Doomsday Hospital. Their complexions were ashen, and Josephine's eyes had turned scarlet.

Jay raised his eyebrows and looked at the two. "What did the doctor say?"

Josephine wailed. "The doctor says that my fallopian tubes are blocked and inflamed. I can't give birth to a child."

Angeline comforted her, saying, "Josie, that's curable."

Josephine continued to cry as she said, "The doctor says that my condition is very complicated and difficult to treat. I'm not young anymore, so my body's state will decline after a few years. Sob, sob, how will I give birth to a child, then?"

Zayne's expression was gloomy. He was in a bad state of mind as well because of Josephine's condition.

He adored children and yearned to have one of his own. However, in the end, the doctor's diagnosis shattered all his hopes and made him slightly obtuse.

As a result, he ignored Josephine's emotions.

Josie looked at Zayne who appeared dispirited. She took his hand and sniffed while saying in a choked-u p manner, "I'm sorry, Zayne."

Zayne drooped his head and said weakly, "Is saying sorry any good?"

Josephine's hand slipped off Zayne's. "Then, how about we get a divorce? You can find another girl and ask her to give birth to your child-" Zayne was stunned by this and he roared. "What nonsense are you saying?"

Josephine trembled in fright, her eyes rolling down like a broken curtain.

Jay glared at Zayne. When Josephine was this fragile, Zayne was merely focusing on his own emotions. It made Jay feel somewhat angry.

"You're a man, Zayne. You should know when to let it g o. At this moment, you're facing a multiple-choice question. Who do you want, Josephine or a child?" Jay asked indignantly. Zayne held his head and said with much pain. "Of course, it's Josie."

"Then you should treat Josie better."

Zayne glanced at Josie and reluctantly stretched his hand out to pull Josie into his arms. "I'm not angry at you. I'm just upset. Why can't we have a child?"

The young couple had a long temper tantrum before finally calming down.

During dinner, Zayne looked at Baby Zetty and Baby Bobbie sitting on the opposite side. He began plotting.

"Big Brother, you have a lot of children. Would you want to let me adopt one?"

Jay corrected him with a gloomy expression. "I don't have a lot."

Even 30 would not be a lot if they were all his and Angeline's children, let alone just three.

Angeline abruptly felt insipid. 'Is Jaybie hinting that I gave birth to very few children?'

He was somewhat correct. All those affluent families i n Imperial Capital never disliked the idea of having too many children.

In order for someone to inherit the family business, they liked women who would give birth to houses of children. If the first wife's belly was unable to sustain it, the husbands would go out and look for more mistresses...

A powerful man like Jay Ares would naturally feel that three children were too little.

Angeline touched her belly quietly. When she was stomped on by the Bells back then, her womb got injured and she was unable to conceive now.

At that time, she thought nothing of it. Now, she knew the helplessness of being an imperfect woman.

Zayne begged again and again, "Your Jens and Robbie look exactly alike. Why don't you give Baby Robbie to me?"

Jay glanced over at the frightened Baby Robbie and said, "No way."

"Then, how about your daughter?" said Zayne.

Baby Zetty looked at her daddy pitifully.

Jay said, "I won't give you any of them."

The two men bickered with each other and did not notice the gray expressions of the two women next to them.

After their meal, Angeline and Josephine picked up the plates and walked to the kitchen. Jay looked at Angeline in bewilderment. "Sit down."

Angeline mocked, "Since we can't have children, we might as well do housework to atone for our sins."

Josephine nodded and spoke in a low, muffled voice,1 That's right."

Zayne was still confused...

Meanwhile, Jay's nimble mind quickly realized that his words had provoked Angeline.

He glared fiercely at the culprit. "B*stard."

Then, he hurried over to the kitchen to coax his wife...

"Get out, Josie," Jay ordered.

Josie's eyes were red. Tm not going anywhere."

Zayne walked in and pulled Josie out.

Jay walked toward Angeline and admitted his mistake. "What's the matter, Angeline?"

Angeline brushed the pots and pans sonorously, clearly showing her anger.

"I was wrong, Angeline."

Angeline looked at him. "Which part?"

Jay stammered, "I shouldn't have said that three children... are not a lot."

Angeline was enraged. "I'm not a baby machine."

"I know." Jay took her hand out of the sink. He earnestly said, "Angeline, you've truly misunderstood me. Even if you're able to conceive more, I wouldn't allow you to suffer that way anymore." Angeline deliberately provoked him and said, "If you want to, I can get pregnant again. Didn't I get pregnant last time?"

Jay's complexion turned pale... Since Angeline's womb had previously suffered injuries to it, it would be best for her not to get pregnant anymore. If it was forced, the chances of ectopic pregnancy were very high.

When he thought about the hardships Angeline suffered last time, he did not dare to take any risks.

"Don't try that on me, Angeline. I don't want any more children, I only want you."

Angeline finally burst into a smile.

Jay was relieved now.

He patted Angeline's head and said gently, "Go on out. I'll wash up."

Angeline hugged him coquettishly. "I want to stay with you."

Jay's handsome brows relaxed.

In this world, perhaps only this little snotface of his would be this easy to coax. A mere few sweet words were enough to make her so submissive. What a silly girl.

In the living room, Zayne was facing the most significant silent treatment in his lifetime.

Josephine sat on the sofa while Zayne was pouring some tea for her. However, she refused to give Zayne any attention.

Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty were both secretly laughing.

Zayne glared at them and said, "Don't laugh. Aren't your daddy and mommy also in the middle of a fight?"

Baby Zetty rolled her eyes at him and said proudly, "I bet my daddy and mommy are now as good as ever."

Zayne replied, "How is that possible? With your mommy's attitude of courting disaster and her unwillingness to step down a little for your daddy, how will she ever leave the matter at that?"

At this moment, Angeline and Jay came out of the kitchen. The two were making eyes at each other while smiling. They had utterly turned back to normal.

Zayne was dumbfounded.

Baby Zetty teased, saying, "Uncle, you have a lot to learn from my daddy."

As soon as Jay took his seat, Zayne ran over like a whirlwind and sat beside him.

Jay looked at this giant unwanted third guest with a dark expression.

Zayne looked like he was humbly asking for advice." Big Brother, can you show me the ropes?"

Jay glanced at the gloomy-faced Josie and understood Zayne's intentions. He pushed him away and said," That's your wife. I don't know how to coax her. I only know how to get around my little sweetheart here."

Angeline smiled brightly and sweetly.

Zayne stood up and looked at Angeline in disgust. "You're powerless in this matter, Angeline. He's sucked your soul with just his sweet words."

Angeline said, "Jaybie's not only good with words, but he uses his actions to love his wife as well."
