Chapter 1851
Zayne knew he had to succumb to fate and said," Since she already said yes, what else can I say?"
Jay said in a threatening tone, "Try me."
Zayne cried out and said, "Is this the right attitude for someone who just proposed to my sister to have? What's the difference between you and a bandit?"
Master Ares gave Angelina a high-profile proposal to make the news public, but he ended up creating big trouble for himself.
Lady Severe called Zayne.
As soon as the call went through, Lady Severe could not hide her joy and said, "Zayne, JJ's proposal to Angelina was so grand! Your dad and I are thinking that the wedding ceremony can't be done hastily. The Severe family will have a big wedding for the both of them. Listen to me, bring Angelina home to us and ask JJ to pick her up from Swallow City when they get married. This is our tradition and must not be violated."
Zayne hung up. He looked at Jay gleefully and said, 1 Master Ares, congratulations! The proposal has made a sensation across the country. Now, my mother is insisting that Angelina go back to Swallow City until
your wedding ceremony."
Jay was stunned. Although he felt that Lady Severe's request was a bit much, he was willing to stand down for Angelina.
"Does your mom want a live-in son-in-law?" he teased.
Zayne said, "She doesn't want a live-in son-in-law! My mother has made herself clear. Only Angelina is allowed to go home. She didn't mention anything about you."
Jay's expression turned chilly as he uttered, "What do you mean?"
Was she going to separate him and Angelina?
Shirley chuckled and said, "Brother-in-law, don't get our mother's intentions wrong. Our mother is just following traditions. Since you and Angelina are getting married, you must come to the Severe family's home to pick her up. You need to live separately before marriage."
Jay was very upset.
That meant he would not be able to see Angelina before they got married.
"If I knew that getting married was so troublesome, I wouldn't have proposed," Jay whispered.
Zayne, who was next to him, heard everything. Zayne protested, "No way! How could we give you the darling of the Severe family for nothing? Angelina and her family should be treated well with gifts so that Angeline can stand proud in front of her friends."
Angeline comforted Jay, saying, "Jaybie, we'll only be separated briefly. We'll meet again soon."
Josephine comforted him and said, "Distance makes the heart grow fonder."
Zayne took Angelina's hand and walked out. "Let's go, let's leave right away."
Jay stared at Zayne angrily.
Zayne smiled triumphantly and said, "Master Ares, if you want to marry my sister, you have to give us a generous gift."
Jay said coldly, "Let go of Angeline. I'll send Angeline back myself."
Angeline insisted on having Zayne send her home. " Jaybie, don't send me off. I don't feel comfortable thinking that you'll have to come back alone."
Just like that, Zayne, Josephine, Shirley, and Dawn returned to Swallow City.
When Angeline left, Jay started feeling empty.
Lady Severe was busy preparing for Angelina's marriage. To help her mother out, Angeline occupied herself with wedding planning too.
Chapter 1852
Chapter 1852
September 19th soon came.
Angeline had been too excited to sleep the night before, but she soon fell into a deep sleep near morning.
Lady Severe woke her up tenderly. "Angel, it's time to wake up."
Angeline got up with sleepy eyes. After washing up, Sis Shirley walked in with a high-end wedding dress." Little Angeline, the makeup artist is waiting at the door. Put on the wedding dress first."
Angeline was still drowsy, and like a walking puppet, she allowed everyone else to put it on for her.
The white wedding dress had a long train that would stretch over the red carpet endlessly. The small sparkling diamonds on the chest were reflecting rays of light. The upper part of the dress was in a tube with
a translucent arabesque pattern that was tight around the waist. With the romantic fishtail skirt, the cutting wrapped Angeline's curves perfectly in all the right places.
"Woah, what a beautiful wedding dress! The train is so long," Josie exclaimed. Then, she realized something." How many people will you need to carry the train for
you?"
Josie thought of something and then shouted at the door, "The flower boys and girls can come in."
The Ares children walked in with Jens and Baby Robbie wearing black tuxes and the girls in white muslin dresses. The sight of them walking over in an orderly manner was beautiful.
Josie assigned tasks to each of them. "Jen, Robbie, Zetty, and Thirteen, the four of you will carry Mommy's train later. Other sisters, you'll have to use your skills to stop Daddy from entering the door." The children protested unanimously, "What? Why do we have to block Daddy?"
Josie broke it down for them, explaining, "Your mommy would like to test your daddy before marrying him. All of you had better not betray your mommy."
Jenson said, "Don't listen to her. She just wants to extort money from Daddy."
Hearing this, the children refused to comply.
Josie smacked her forehead. "I should be more clear with you kids. This is the Ares family's tradition for marriages. The louder you guys are, the more joyous it'll be."
Angeline was sitting in front of the dressing table. The makeup artist, Peter, was ready to doll her up.
Peter asked Angeline, "So, what kind of style would you like? Flower fairy? Celebrity makeup look? Or something local?"
Angeline smiled bashfully. "Just follow your intuition. Make me drop-dead gorgeous."
Peter snapped his fingers. "Gotcha."
As a result, he styled Angeline's hair in a floral do that made her look like a fairy with her front bangs slightly curled. Coupled with a diamond tiara made with pieces of 4.221-carat diamonds, Angeline looked a beautiful as an elf-simply ethereal and flawless.
"You're so beautiful," Josie showered Angeline with praise. "I finally know how my brother fell in love with you at first sight and will only have you in his heart his whole life. You're utterly breathtaking, Sis Angeline."
Angeline said, "Nonsense. You're brother's not a prodigal son who judges people by their appearance."
Angeline would never forget the time when she was ill and thin but Jay still regarded her as a treasure even though she looked like a skeleton. She could regain her confidence and overcome her depression only because she had been moved by his deep affections for her.
Jenson was standing next to Angeline, and listening to Josie belittling his most beloved Daddy, he rolled his eyes at her angrily. "My daddy said that he fell for my mommy because only Mommy could show him the brightest of all colors when he was deemed autistic."
Some time ago, when Angeline was still seriously ill, Jenson, Robbie, and Zetty had quietly celebrated their 15th birthdays.
The children were also rapidly growing taller as well and were already 1.8 meters tall. With Jenson's cold temperament and Angelina's youthful appearance, they looked like brother and sister instead. The scene was beautiful and pleasing to the eye.
Josie said, "Why are you trying to be so deep? Your dad was able to see such bright colors in your mommy because of her beautiful appearance. He's just two-faced. But then, when I look at you, I can see you overthrowing your dad soon. You're shrewder than him, and I do wonder which girl will fall into your hands in the future."
Chapter 1853
Chapter 1853
Baby Robbie was snickering at the side.
Then, Josie's gaze shifted to Baby Robbie...
He was also 1.8 meters tall and shared Jay's looks. The difference was that Baby Robbie's face seemed to be shrouded with blazing sunlight and filled with warmth. His peach blossom eyes that were slightly slanting upward exuded an enchanting allure. One look at him would make anyone deeply attracted to him and fall into eternal intoxication.
Josie looked at the noble yet grave and stern Jenson, then back at the most enchanting Baby Robbie. She proceeded to shake her head. "The two of you will grow up to be disastrous."
An hour ago. Imperial Capital.
Jay was wearing a well-fitted, tailored suit. His meticulously styled hair made him appear even more graceful and flawless. He already had an attractive and charming face to begin with, yet his features were further enhanced by this neat and refreshing hairstyle. He looked as perfect as a Greek sculpture.
His team of groomsmen had been waiting outside Tourmaline Estate. Other than his black Rolls-Royce
that was all the way at the front of the formation of cars, the other vehicles behind it were all white. On the front of the car, a combination of Saraca dives Pierre and jacaranda flowers were turned into two heart-shaped wreaths. Inside the hearts were dolls of Angeline and Jay made with roses.
Jay walked out of the pink Chateau de Selene, followed by his handsome group of groomsmen-Finn, Tempest, Grayson, Storm, and other Ghost members.
Once Jay got into the car, the Ghost groomsmen entered the vehicles behind him.
Then, the long row of Rolls-Royces headed toward Swallow City with great prestige.
Jay had spent a large amount of money to clear the traffic in advance so the route to his bride was unimpeded. However, the neighboring streets were crowded with people trying to take a look at the wedding. When the team of groomsmen arrived at the Severe family's villa in Swallow City, they immediately blocked the whole alleyway outside the residence.
Jay got down from the car, and Zayne greeted him with a wicked smile upon seeing him. "You're here so soon, Master Ares?"
Jay had not seen Angeline for half a month now, and he could not wait for a second longer. He pushed Zayne to the side and walked inside.
Zayne blocked his path, saying, "What are you doing?
Are you trying to kidnap the bride? What's the rush anyway? The bride will be yours sooner or later. But before you can see her, you'll have to play several of our games."
Jay cast a sharp gaze at Zayne, making him tremble. He admitted in a terrified manner, "It wasn't my plan to make things difficult for you. But Angeline has given you a task to gather four treasures. Once you've completed the task, you'll be allowed to see her."
"Where are these treasures?" Jay asked.
Zayne stretched his hand out. "Don't you know the rules? You want me to betray my sister without getting a little something in return?"
At this moment, the groomsmen stepped over and handed Zayne an envelope.
Zayne opened it, and there was an Amex black card inside.
Grayson said, "The passcode is six 9s."
Zayne smiled from ear to ear. "How very generous."
Jay said impatiently, "Stop the nonsense."
Zayne handed Jay a gift box, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a Lego block that the two of them had played with when they first met.
However, many words were written on the back of the Lego piece, and Angelina's message was unclear.
Jay handed the Lego to Grayson and said, "Pass the order down to decipher the mysterious words written on the Lego for me."
"Yes."
Then, Jay quickly walked inside. When he arrived at the living room, several of the children looked at Jay innocently and were somewhat distressed. "Daddy, Mommy said not to let you in." Jay looked up at the ceiling, utterly speechless...
Then, he smiled and tried to bribe the kids, saying," What do you guys want? Daddy will buy them for you."
"Daddy, we don't want anything from you. We can't betray Mommy."
Tempest cracked his knuckles and stepped forward." Then, let's have a round of fistfight. If you guys lose, you'll have to give way to your dad."
"You'll have to put your focus into it, then. We don't want to be late for the wedding," said Sis Two.
As soon as her voice fell, the four groomsmen started fighting with the military intelligence division sisters.
Fearing that they would be late, Tempest, Storm, and the others went all out and turned it into a fierce battle.
However, Jay said, "Be careful. Don't hurt them."
The children were moved by Daddy's meticulous care and love for them. They pretended to lose and fell to the ground. Jay smiled and said, "Good girls. Daddy will give all of you rewards later."
Chapter 1854
Chapter 1854
The children giggled and delivered the gift box to Jay's hands, not forgetting to encourage him. "Good luck, Daddy." "Okay."
Then, Jay went upstairs, but Josie was blocking him a t the top of the staircase.
Josie had brought a chair over and was blocking the whole entrance. She started smiling particularly brightly upon seeing Jay. "Out of my way!" Jay scoffed.
Josie touched her belly. "I'm a pregnant lady, so if you want me to let you in, you'll have to humble yourself to please me."
"Stop all the nonsense and just tell me how much money you want?" Jay went straight to the point.
Josie scowled fiercely. "Big Brother, do I look like the kind of person who'd betray Sis Angeline for money?"
"Ten million," Jay said.
Josie remained unbudged.
Then, Jay instructed the groomsmen, "Carry her away."
Josie was dumbfounded. "You can't do this. Even if
you carry me off, you won't get the treasure and Sis Angeline won't see you until you complete the task."
Jay said, "Angeline will also be very reluctant to hand you the money that belongs to her."
Josie gave it further thought and decided he was making a lot of sense.
She immediately changed her mind. "Alright then. Ten million. Place the cash in my hand and I'll hand you the treasure with the other."
Storm came over with another Amex black card.
Jay had finally arrived at Angeline's bedroom door, but there were now four tall and stalwart teenagers guarding it. They were Jenson, Baby Robbie, Baby Zetty, and Thirteen. Jay suddenly felt unprecedented pressure.
He could easily fool Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie, but Jenson and Thirteen were both as cunning as wolves. Moreover, even if the Ghost members had to deal with Jenson, Robbie, and Thirteen-three highly- trained teens in combat skills-it might be somewhat challenging.
At this moment, Finn stepped forward and rubbed on Baby Zetty's head. "Silly goose, help Brother Finn out and let your daddy go in, hmm?"
Baby Zetty obediently made way and stood in front of Brother Finn.
Baby Robbie angrily scoffed at her. "I can't believe
you're choosing your boyfriend over family."
Baby Zetty said, "I'm a girl anyway. There's no need for me to honor the gentleman's way."
Baby Robbie,"..."
Jay had to speak up for himself, "Tell me, what does Daddy have to do to go in?"
Thirteen did not say a word.
Baby Robbie muttered, "Daddy, we'd love for you to go in as well. But the queen has given us her orders, and we'd never violate a royal order. Just stand where you are and wait, Daddy. The queen might announce for you to go in."
Jay looked at Jenson, but Jenson shifted his gaze elsewhere instead.
Jay said, "Did I raise a couple of backstabbers?"
Jenson murmured, "It's your fault for badly lowering your position in the family."
Jay,
"Who said that my position in the family is low?"
Jenson said, "Then, do you dare to break in?"
Jay dashed toward the door, but when he lifted his hand to open it, he hesitated.
If Angeline got upset due to his recklessness, would he not be at a loss?
Jenson said, "Will you still say you're not afraid of
her?"
Jay's face appeared gloomy.
Finn quietly pulled Baby Zetty over and coaxed her, saying, "Baby Zetty, can you tell Brother Finn how to get in?"
Baby Zetty smiled brightly and whispered, "Try knocking on the door."
Chapter 1855
Chapter 1855
Jay lifted his hand and knocked on the door.
Angeline's nervous voice was heard saying, "Come in."
Jay was slightly startled, and he coldly glared at Jenson and Baby Robbie.
Jenson and Baby Robbie quickly escaped the scene...
At this moment, Jay realized that Angeline was not the one who was making things difficult for him. It was Josephine and Zayne who had urged the children to be in cahoots with them. "I'll deal with the two of you later," said Jay.
Jay opened the door and entered. Angeline was sitting on the bed obediently, her white wedding dress blooming like a holy lotus flower. Her delicate and picturesque eyes were looming under the veil. The diamond hair accessories and the white jade jewelry she wore perfectly complemented each other. With the accessories, Angeline looked even more ethereal than a fairy. From a distance, she looked like a princess who was out of reach.
Jay always knew that his Angeline was beautiful, but he never knew that if she were to put this much effort into dressing up, she would become so drop-dead gorgeous. Her dark hair, in contrast with her white wedding dress and jewelry, made her appear loftier than any vintage paintings.
Jay slowly walked toward Angeline. Due to her lack of sleep recently and her excitement last night, her long eyelashes were fluttering like a feather fan at this moment. Her eyes had turned somewhat hazy as well.
Jay squatted in front of her, looking at her charming and lovely appearance. He could not help but laugh.
"Angeline," he called out softly.
Angeline teased him while pouting her pink lips," Why were you late, Jaybie? I've been waiting for you for a long time." After speaking, she threw herself into his arms.
Jay hugged her tightly as if he was holding his entire world. He smiled, and happiness overflowed from his body.
"They blocked Jaybie's path, so I was late," he explained.
Angeline instantly woke up from her drowsiness and said furiously, "Who blocked you from coming in? We're finally getting married now, and someone tried to stop you? Who was it? I'll have a row with them." Jay smiled and said, "Who else would it be other than your brother? But don't be angry, they have no malicious intent. They were just trying to take advantage of me and extort some money."
Only then did Angeline remember that she had prepared some pocket money to thank them for all their trouble. She had placed them into little envelopes and stacked them onto a tray. Angeline said, "I prepared these last night. You can go and distribute them to the others as gifts."
Jay took one and tried to feel it. He wondered why it was relatively flat. He asked curiously, "How much did you put inside?"
"200," said Angeline.
Jay was petrified.
"Isn't that too little?" Jay felt that since the Ares family was the wealthiest family in Imperial Capital, they should be giving out more as gratitude.
Angeline tried reasoning with him. "It's a lot. No one else would give out money when they get married."
Jay frowned. "Well, that's a standard for lower-income families."
Angeline was immediately dumbfounded. "Well, I've never really attended a lot of weddings either. And every time I go to one, they don't have the practice of handing out money for helping out. Perhaps I've forgotten that the weddings I attended were not the Ares family's type of weddings."
Looking at her dazed expression, Jay smiled and said, "It's alright. You've even wrapped them so nicely, so let's not waste them. Let's pass these to the city folks watching the wedding later. How does that sound?"
Angeline said, "Go ahead and arrange for it."
Then, she asked somewhat weakly, "Then, how much does the Ares family usually give out for those who helped out?"
Jay said, "I handed out two Amex black cards just to come in."
Angeline was dumbstruck.
She clenched her chest and said with heartache, "If I knew this would happen, I would've stood at the gate to wait for you. Why did I give them a chance to blackmail you? Oh God, two black cards? How much have you wasted?"
Jay touched her little nose and smiled. "Are you the reincarnation of Eugenie Grandet? If we don't spend a little money on our wedding, when else would we be able to spend our money? Besides, Jaybie is more than willing to spend a little extra for you."
Angeline said, "But your money is my money. And the money you're spending is mine."
Jay,
"Alright, alright. Jaybie will earn a lot more money for you next time, okay?"
Angeline replied, "I don't want you to work so hard. I'd rather we live a frugal life than you working so hard just to earn money for me."
Chapter 1856
Chapter 1856
Jay could only sigh helplessly. "What kind of marriage did I get myself into?"
Angeline started giggling incessantly.
They were starting to set off fireworks downstairs, and Jay knew that it was now time to leave Swallow City.
Jay said to Angeline, "I'll carry you home now, Angeline."
Angeline spread out her arms and said, "Jaybie, carry me princess style."
Jay nodded.
Just as he picked Angeline up, Lady Severe and Sis Shirley walked in with reddened eyes. There was a reluctant expression on their faces.
"Angeline, promise Mom that you'll be happy," Lady Severe took Angeline's hand over and said in a choked -up manner.
Angeline was initially in a pleasant state of mind. Hearing Lady Severe's words though, she realized that her mother must be so reluctant to part with her daughter who was getting married. One could only imagine the grief she must be feeling.
Angeline's tears burst out of her eyes.
"Mommy."
The mother and daughter cried in each other's embrace.
Sis Shirley comforted, saying, "You have to visit more often, Angeline. Mom and I are both looking forward to it."
"Alright."
Jay wiped Angeline's tears for her and said, "Now, now, don't cry. You're the most beautiful bride today. Are you planning to get married with puffy eyes?"
Lady Severe pushed Angeline in front of Jay and firmly said, "You can take her away now, JJ."
Jay carried Angeline and walked out the door.
One and a half hours later, Jay and Angeline's wedding was successfully held in Tourmaline Estate's Clock Square.
The people attending the wedding were all close relatives and friends of the two and a few uninvited guests-Grandma Boye, Grandpa, and Chloe.
When they showed up looking poised and elegant in everyone's field of view, a commotion started.
"Dylan, is that Boye?" Grand Old Master Severe could not believe his eyes.
Dylan looked at Boye, and millions of thoughts flooded
his mind.
All of the events that had happened in the past started to come alive once more.
He could finally understand how Angeline's depression and Jay's poisoning were cured as well.
However, when he saw the man next to Boye, Dylan also realized that his relationship with Boye had been a short-lived one after all.
When all was said and done, he had given his heart to the wrong person.
Moreover, Chloe's arrival was a shock to everyone present.
Her transformation from a hostile woman to a loving one was a pleasant surprise for everyone.
However, her arrival still caused quite a stir.
Jordan came over and said, "Chlo, Angeline and Jay will not welcome you here. It's better if you leave as soon as possible."
Chloe looked at Jordan. Her husband, who was so gentle and considerate before, had now abandoned her like a pair of worn-out shoes.
Chloe said bitterly, "Jordy, I'm not here to make trouble. On the contrary, I'm here to give my blessing to Angeline and JJ."
Jordan was slightly startled. There was a look of disbelief on his face.
At this moment, Jay came over and lightly patted Jordan on the shoulder. He said somewhat indifferently, "Let her stay, Dad."
Chapter 1857
Chapter 1857
After Jay said this, he turned and left.
Chloe was moved to tears.
Although Jay still hated her in his heart, she was very content that he was willing to let her off so leniently.
She would try to make it up to him for the rest of her life.
When Grand Old Master Yorks saw the bright, neat, and radiant Chloe, he felt nothing but grateful toward Angeline and ashamed of himself. He secretly scolded himself for failing to recognize such a jewel in the family. If he had protected Angeline from the beginning, perhaps the Yorks would be in an entirely different situation now.
When the wedding march sounded, Mr. Severe walked Angeline down the aisle. As soon as the crowd laid their eyes on Angeline, they were all stunned by her beauty.
"Woah, the bride is beautiful."
Chloe smiled warmly and lovingly, shaking Boye's hand in excitement. "Mom, take a look at her. Our Angeline is breathtaking."
Boye teased her, "Isn't she much more beautiful than that Judy girl?"
Chloe said with embarrassment, "Angeline is a daughter from a noble household. She's elegant and studious through and through. How could Judy even be compared to her?"
Boye replied, "And now you also think that our Angeline is the greatest daughter-in-law through and through."
Chloe muttered in a low voice, "I'm merely stating the truth."
Near the stage, Mr. Severe handed Angeline over to Jay and said with a heartfelt voice, "I'll be handing over my baby girl to you now, Jay. I feel at ease knowing that you're the person who loves her the most, spoils her the most, and is the one who tolerates her the most in this world. I hope that for the rest of your lives, you two can continue to walk hand in hand together and strive hard to live through each day." Jay took Angelina's hand from Mr. Severe, and she looked as happy as a child. "Jaybie, I'm finally fulfilling my lifelong wish to marry you."
In the audience, Zayne was seen covering his eyes." Tsk tsk tsk, Angeline Severe, why are you so hopeless?"
Josie brought his hand down and said, "Angeline has been looking forward to marrying my brother since she was a child. They've gone through tons of hardships to get to this ending, so did you think Sis Angeline wouldn't be excited right now?"
Jay was grinning from ear to ear at Angeline's bold confession, but he still sighed and tenderly said, "How shameless."
Angeline smiled even more brilliantly.
Jay held her hand and locked fingers with her. Then, they both walked up the stage.
The flower girls and boys held onto her wedding dress' train, following them from behind in a sacred and solemn manner.
People were shocked by the beauty of the children.
"Those three are Master Ares and his wife's three biological kids. Look at Jenson and Robbie. They look exactly like their daddy. The whole family has ethereal appearances!"
"I heard that Master Ares spoils his wife to the utmost extent. He's not only dedicated but also affectionate. I think their parents' noble characters would inevitably influence their children. In the future, whoever marries the two little young masters of the Ares family will probably receive boundless blessings."
Baby Zetty quietly giggled when listening to others commenting on her big brothers. "My dear brothers, who'll be lucky enough to be my sisters-in-law? I'm really looking forward to it."
Jenson said, "I'm still young."
Baby Robbie said, "Women are trouble. I'll never marry a woman in my life."
Angeline held Jay's hand tightly and looked at him somewhat nervously. "What does Baby Robbie mean? Does he want to marry a boy?"
Jay had a blank expression on his face. "Pay no mind to him. I have a feeling he's very straight."
Jay and Angeline came to the stage, and as the host held onto the microphone, they recited the lyrics of Red Spider Lily in a cadence.
"You and I, hand in hand, walking through the suburbs. Together through our ups and downs. You're my boundless scenery and my fallen dust.
"If you're passing through the staircase to the netherworld, I'll be right there waiting for you. If you cannot make it, pick a Red Spider Lily and I'll come to you.
"Mr. Jay Ares, do you take Miss Angeline Severe to be your beloved wife? Do you promise to love and to honor her all the days of your life, regardless of her appearance, to be faithful to her in good times, and in bad, in sickness and in health?" i
Chapter 1858
Chapter 1858
"Of course, I do. It's exactly what I'll be doing," said Jay.
"Miss Angeline Severe, would you be willing to marry Mr. Jay Ares? From now on, you will be his lawfully wedded wife and will never leave his side regardless of riches or poor, whether he's at the top of the world or is hitting rock bottom. Will you never abandon him?"
Angeline nodded. "I'm willing to be with him forever."
"Then, let us ask the loving couple to exchange their rings and share a kiss."
Jay lifted Angeline's veil and hugged her before kissing her.
The applause coming from the audience lasted for quite some time.
Cole was the only one standing in a corner, frozen still like a sculpture.
His obsession with Angeline vanished at that moment.
The declaration of love between Jay and Angeline was how much they would love one another their entire lifetimes. Jay had taken an oath to love Angeline, regardless of her appearance, faithfully. That was exactly what he had been doing all this while.
Meanwhile, Angeline swore to never leave Jay, whether he was at the top of the world or falling into a trough.
That was exactly what she had done too.
Their vows and their promises... They had been fulfilling them all throughout their lives together.
When Jay was busy entertaining the guests at the end of the wedding, Josie and Sis Shirley returned to the room with Angeline. She changed into a red evening gown.
It was a one-shoulder dress paired with complicated jewelry, making her look sexy. The makeup artist had styled Angelina's hair down this time. With her long hair slightly curled and draped around her shoulders, i t toned down her sex appeal by just the right amount.
Angeline was tall and thin, but her curves were exquisite. It made her whole appearance look graceful and beautiful yet flirtatious.
When Angeline returned to Jay's side, he liked this renewed version of Angeline very much as he laid his eyes on her.
"Angeline, can you dress up a little more in the future, just as a treat for me?"
Angeline teased, "Uncle, if I look beautiful every day, do you think you'd still be worthy of me?"
Jay's expression darkened. "Don't call me that. You should be calling me darling.
"Am I truly that ugly?" Jay asked with a stern face.
Angeline looked at Jay, and he was akin to a character straight out of a comic book. He was filled with vigor, loftiness, and arrogance. However, from time to time, he would reveal a docile puppy-like expression in front of Angeline when all of his hostile air turned into gentleness. Jay's every single moment was practically the highlight of his life.
Today, with a little more effort in dressing up, his appearance was terrific.
Any woman would not be able to take their eyes off him.
It was natural for Angeline to like him even more.
Angeline said, "Jaybie, you look so good today. You simply took my breath away."
If any other woman acted like such a love-struck fool around him, he would probably get goosebumps all over his body. He would be itching to sew their mouths shut.
However, he was delighted to hear such sweet words coming out of Angelina's mouth.
"Am I worthy of you now?" he asked somewhat grimly.
Angeline nodded. "Of course, you are. I'm the one unworthy of you."
Jay's face turned cold again. Angeline quickly changed her words, saying, "We're a perfect match,
Jaybie."
Only then did Jay smile with joy.
Chapter 1859
Chapter 1859
Holding Angeline's hand, Jay went around their relatives and friends to give them a toast to thank them for coming.
They were both stunning, brilliant, and graceful. Angeline nestled in Jay's arms like a little bird as Jay's powerful arms protected her slender shoulders a t all times.
Just like two trees that grew together as one and inseparable lovebirds, they were envied by everyone there.
After the wedding banquet, the tired Angeline returned to Chateau de Selene. As soon as she arrived at the garden, she kicked off her high heels, no longer caring about her image. She ran inside the house while lifting her skirt.
Jay bent over, picked up the shoes that Angeline had tossed, and patted the dirt off them. Then, he placed them into the shoe cabinet.
After dealing with Angeline's heels, a white global limited-edition sneaker suddenly flew over.
Jay stood up and looked sharply at the perpetrator-Baby Robbie. He commanded, "Put your shoes away."
Baby Robbie acted coquettishly, "Daddy, can't you help
your son out?"
"Settle your own things," Jay said strictly.
Baby Robbie had to walk over and bend over to tidy up his own shoes.
At this moment, Baby Zetty came over and threw her shoes in a disorderly and unaffected manner...
Jay reprimanded, "Baby Zetty-"
Baby Zetty said coquettishly, "Daddy, Mommy also took off her shoes and threw them on the ground earlier! You're biased. You didn't scold Mommy, but you're scolding us!" Jay,"..."
Fortunately, he was rather eloquent in arguments, so h e immediately said in sophistry, "Don't you guys know by now that Mommy is the queen of our family? Who'd dare to scold her?" After saying these words, Jay went in with a sullen face.
Jenson came over, and his lips twitched slightly. He smiled and said, "Who gave the two of you the confidence to compete for Daddy's favor?"
Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty looked at each other, shaking their heads while smiling bitterly.
Baby Robbie said, "I probably came from a crack in the rock."
Baby Zetty said, "I'm probably just spare change."
Angeline was lying on the sofa. Her spotlessly white feet were badly squeezed from wearing high heels for a long time. They were red and swollen with traces of blood.
Jay found a bottle of ointment from the medicine box and sat in front of Angeline. Then, he gently applied it onto Angeline's feet.
Angeline said, "I finally know why Cinderella threw away her glass slippers."
"Why?" Jay asked with a smile.
"Because it hurts to wear them for so long," said Angeline.
Jay,"..."
"Mommy..." The children walked in in a single file.
It was the other sisters' first time coming to Tourmaline Estate, so they all went sightseeing in the magnificent estate. Only Jenson, Baby Robbie, and Baby Zetty came to visit Daddy and Mommy. Although Angeline was exhausted, she was still delighted to see the children. She stretched out her hand and said, "Come here and let Mommy take a good look at you."
The three children obediently stood in a row, letting Angeline look at them.
Angeline could not hide the distress in her tone when she saw the grave and stern Jenson. "My dear Jens has indeed suffered since he was a baby and didn't receive enough love from Mommy. That's why you've developed such a lonely and antisocial temperament.
"From now on, you should go to school with your younger siblings and do the things your peers are doing. Mommy only hopes you get younger as time goes by."
Jenson's face started twitching...
He was only 15 years old, but Mommy was hoping for him to get younger??
Baby Robbie could not help but laugh out loud.
Angeline narrowed her eyes at Baby Robbie, scrutinizing the child's facial features. Although his face and Jens' were exactly alike, those fascinating peach blossom eyes would be the death of someone. When Angeline looked at Baby Robbie, it was as if she was watching the scenery of peach blossoms in full bloom.

Chapter 1860
"Baby Robbie, stop trying to be such an eye candy. You'll have to start showing your weaknesses and hiding your strong points. Otherwise, how many good girls will you break the hearts of in the future?" "Adopting my shortcomings and avoiding my strong points?" Baby Robbie looked at his simple white T-shirt and black trousers. He had no idea what else he could do to show his weakness and avoid his strengths. He could only ask Mommy in a humble manner, "Mommy, I'll have no other options but to be naked at this point!"
Angeline said, "If you don't wear anything, the girls will have nosebleeds when they see you. Not only should you keep a shirt on, but you'd better cover yourself up in a proper manner. Stop moving the hem of the T-shirt as you please. Why are you showing your lower abs?"
Baby Robbie was just fanning some air through the lower hem of his T-shirt and reluctantly tucked his shirt in after hearing Mommy's instruction.
After talking about Baby Robbie, Angeline began to talk about Baby Zetty's current situation.
"Baby Zetty, how are you and Brother Finn recently..."
Jay cast a stern look at Angeline.
Angeline switched her words around. "Baby Zetty, it'll be better if you don't take after Mommy's romantic mindset. It would help if you learned from your Aunt Shirley about letting go of your feelings... Don't get too attached to your emotions, it only wears down your spirits."
Baby Zetty said in a lonesome manner, "Mommy, I practically live in school every day. I hadn't seen Brother Finn in a long time before today."
Angeline knew how hard lovesickness could be, so she comforted Baby Zetty. "How about on your next term break, Mommy will arrange some make-up lessons for you with Brother Finn?"
Jay,
"Angeline, I think you're tired. Go upstairs and take a rest."
Angeline sat up from the sofa, put on her slippers, and walked upstairs.
Jay's falcon-like gaze swept across the children. Then, he saw Jenson and Baby Robbie wiping the beads of sweat on their faces with lingering fears.
Baby Robbie sighed in confusion. "Why did Mommy suddenly become so chatty?"
Jenson said, "Menopause."
Baby Robbie was petrified. "Will she become like
Grandma?"
Jenson shrugged and said, "We can't know for sure."
Baby Robbie looked at Jay as if asking for help." Daddy, any explanation?"
Then, Jay explained, "Because all of Mommy's suffering has become a thing of the past, so she has nothing else to do all day. She can only direct all her energy on you guys." The children suddenly felt that the end of the world was approaching.
Baby Robbie said in horror, "We'll surely have an earful every time Mommy is bored."
Jay glanced upstairs with a deep gaze and then said to the children with other intentions in mind, "If you don't want Mommy to nag at you, quickly head back to school."
Baby Zetty touched the back of her head. "But our vacation hasn't ended..."
Baby Robbie said, "I just came back, and I don't want to leave yet..."
Jenson looked at the two simple-minded fools. He took Baby Robbie's hand with one hand, held Baby Zetty's with the other, and walked outside.
"Let's go now. We're leaving."
After leaving Chateau de Selene, Baby Robbie was still puzzled. "We've applied for a short leave from school already, so why are we heading back there? I'm not going. I want to stay right here and enjoy my holiday."
Jenson said, "Even if you're planning to stay, go to Flying Moon Cottage and play with Uncle Zayne and Aunt Josie. Don't disturb Mommy and Daddy's sweet time together."
Baby Robbie suddenly realized. "I get it now. Daddy and Mommy want to..."
Jenson smiled. "Took you long enough, dummy."
Baby Zetty chirped happily, "Since we still have quite some time left, I'll go look for Brother Finn."
Jenson and Baby Robbie then turned and walked toward Flying Moon Cottage.
Chateau de Selene.
Jay came upstairs and opened the bedroom door.
Angeline was all curled up on the bed, sleeping soundly.
Jay sat on the edge of the bed, admiring Angeline's sleeping face. He sighed somewhat disappointedly." What day is it today? How could you fall asleep so soundly?"
