Ch. 1881..1890

Chapter 1882

She squeezed a bright smile at her brothers and said in a breezy manner, "I'm hungry. Let's go."

When they came downstairs, Baby Zetty sat on the dining chair silently. She did not greet her parents nor talk to her sisters. She merely picked up her cutleries and began stuffing herself with food. Angeline looked at her crestfallen daughter. She had never seen Baby Zetty so quiet, nor seen her gorging on food without a single care for her image before. That made Angeline sad and disheartened. When Baby Zetty was done with her food, she helped herself to a second serving and stuffed her mouth with more food as if her stomach was a bottomless pit that could never be satiated.

Everyone looked at her with a stunned gaze...

Was she using food to cope with grief and anger?

When Baby Zetty had helped herself to the fourth serving, Angeline was afraid that she would become sick from being too full and pressed her hands, saying earnestly, "Stop eating, Zetty. Overeating is not good for your health."

Baby Zetty looked at Mommy with a rueful gaze and put down her utensils silently.

Angeline glared bitterly at Jay, her beautiful and passionate eyes giving a clear message. She was seemingly resentful and angry at him.

Jay knew that Angeline felt sorry for their daughter, and if he could not solve Baby Zetty's relationship problems as soon as possible, then Angeline would keep being worried for a long time.

However, there was nothing much he could do either. Baby Zetty was his baby daughter while Finn was a child he had raised himself. Both of them were equally important to him. There was no way he was going to force Finn to accept Baby Zetty because that would be unfair to him and only make Baby Zetty unhappy.

Jay figured that the best way was to allow time to heal the wound in Baby Zetty's heart.

Jay summoned Baby Zetty to the study and had a long conversation with her.

Baby Zetty raised her head and looked at Jay with a puzzled gaze. "Daddy, do you think we still have a chance to be together?"

Jay looked at the longing in his daughter's eyes and felt his heart aching terribly.

"You still can't let him go, huh, Zetty?"

"Daddy, Brother Finn is really nice to me. He's only rejecting me now because I'm underaged. Isn't this like you and Mommy back when you were young?

You, too, had rejected Mommy once before when she confessed to you, didn't you?"

Jay said, "That's different. Zetty. Daddy rejected Mommy because Daddy loved her. Daddy wanted her to have a normal life. Besides, there was never a Tammy around Daddy to hurt Mommy." Baby Zetty's scrawny body trembled slightly.

"Maybe Brother Finn and Sis Tammy are just acting," Baby Zetty said, unwilling to give up.

Jay did not speak... He saw the tears in Baby Zetty's eyes. Obviously, Baby Zetty knew better than anyone that Tammy's presence was proof that Finn had shut himself off from her love.

"Zetty, how can I help you to make you feel better?" Jay looked at his pale daughter. She had loved someone with all her heart for so many years since she was little but realized that all her efforts had amounted to nothing in the end. One could imagine how huge of a blow she must have received from the impact.

Despite that, Baby Zetty was extremely strong. "Don't worry about me, Daddy. I'm fine. If Brother Finn doesn't like me, then I will not force him either. I will erase him from my mind slowly."

It was easier said than done. Baby Zetty's eyes turned pink in an instant. Her voice was extremely nasal, and she looked as though she was about to cry.

Jay said, "Zetty, you're a kind-hearted and considerate

girl who's willing to bear all the hardships alone. I'm proud of you."

Baby Zetty threw herself into Jay's arms and cried. "It's so hard, Daddy."

Jay patted her head, his eyes turning slightly moist as he became choked with sobs. "Baby Zetty, you should probably do something to cheer yourself up. You can spend as much money as you want. Daddy will support you as long as it makes you happy."

"Daddy, I think I'm sick. I don't feel so well."

"Don't be afraid. I'll take you to Great-grandmother Boye and ask her to treat you."

"Does Great-grandma know how to cure heartbreaks?"

Jay fell silent.

In his opinion, turning to Grandma Boye to treat heartbreaks was tantamount to turning to whatever doctor one could find when one was critically ill.

Chapter 1883

Chapter 1883

Angeline felt sorry for her child, and when she noticed how cheerless Baby Zetty was and how she was overeating every day, it felt as though she was on the verge of collapsing.

Angeline was experienced in this, so she knew very well that the one who started the trouble should be the one to end it. In fact, only Finn could save Baby Zetty now.

However, Jay was intentionally keeping Baby Zetty's matters a secret. Angeline understood his intentions and knew that he did not wish to use his own daughter to blackmail Finn because in Jay's opinion, love was serious and sacred, fair and great. He had no right to stop Finn from making his own choice.

Helpless, Angeline brought Baby Zetty to Carefree Garden.

When Grandma Boye saw Angeline, she began chattering and complaining, "I heard that the two old cunning foxes, Dylan and Noel, set you up? Is it true that you accepted their emblems?" Angeline replied, "Jaybie said that my body is weak and I shouldn't work too hard, therefore he handed one of the emblems to Jenson. The Yorks' python emblem was given to Baby Robbie." Boye wore a look of envy. "Lucky for them. They have all found a favorite heir for themselves. Who will take up my mantle then?"

The old man laughed. "Everything is already in front of you, isn't it? Why don't you learn from those two old cunning foxes and pass the mantle to Angeline? JJ won't be able to bring himself to watch Angeline suffer and will certainly pick out the most suitable heir for you."

Boye s eyes gleamed. "You're right."

Boye fondly pressed Angeline down on the couch and began currying favor with her. "Listen to me, Angeline. Neither you nor Jay are in good health and you both need a good doctor to look after you. If you take up my mantle, then I won't have to worry about the recurrence of your old illness even if I die one day."

Baby Zetty's bleary eyes lightened up ever so slightly.

Her love was dead. It was about time she let go of Brother Finn. Her parents were probably the only reason for her to live the rest of her life meaningfully. Baby Zetty slowly shuffled to Boye's side and asked apprehensively, "Great-grandma, do you think I can take up your mantle?"

Boye looked at Baby Zetty with great horror in her eyes. She had never thought of handing her precious wealth and treasure to the soft and weak Baby Zetty. Throughout Boye's lifetime, countless misfortunes had befallen her because she stood out among her peers.

Some tried to kill her, a few wanted to marry her, others wanted to use her, and some even hunted her down... Life had been a roller coaster for her. However, Boye was extremely moved when she saw the sincerity in Zetty's eyes.

Boye knew a thing or two about Zetty. She knew that she was precocious and heard that her IQ and appearance were no match to her brothers. Therefore, she was the most ordinary child in the Ares family. Boye, however, believed that Baby Zetty was intrinsically outstanding. Perhaps her external environment had yet to bring out her outstanding traits, or perhaps she was just a late bloomer.

Boye said, "Zetty, do you know that even though we save people, a slight mistake can cause harm to people? In order to avoid medical accidents, you need to spend a lot of time mastering the principles of medical science and pharmacology."

At this point, Boye's expression grew solemn. "I believe you can achieve all these. I'm just worried... about your soft, weak, and kind character. You won't be able to cope with risks like that." Baby Zetty looked extremely determined. "Believe me, Grandma. I will overcome all obstacles."

Boye looked at Baby Zetty... This child might look soft and adorable, but she was firm and persistent to her core. This resembled Jay and Angelina's strengths as well.

Everything was clear at once for Boye...

Baby Zetty was just like a piece of unpolished gem. Everyone noticed the dazzling and outstanding Jenson and Baby Bobbie, but no one paid any mind to Baby Zetty who was blooming in silence. The old man was extremely happy with Baby Zetty. Afraid that Boye would miss out on this budding talent, he constantly motioned to Boye with his eyes.

 

Chapter 1884

Chapter 1884

Grandma Boye took Baby Zetty's hand and said, "If you're interested to take up my mantle, Baby Zetty, then I will teach you everything."

"Mm."

Angeline looked at Boye in astonishment and used a very long time to come back to her senses.

Had she just sold off her daughter?

Angeline glared at Boye and teased, "Grandma, I won't know how to explain this to Jaybie when I get back."

The old man laughed. "Do you even need to explain it to him? He listens to you the most. You can just call out to your Jaybie sweetly and he will come running to you, eager to spoil you."

Angeline looked at Baby Zetty. Her calm and unresponsive demeanor made her head hurt. She sighed constantly, saying, "Jaybie loves his daughter the most. He has never planned Jenson and Baby Robbie's futures for them but has drawn out a plan for Baby Zetty's life.

"Baby Zetty doesn't need to work too hard, nor does she need to worry about food and clothing. Jaybie has saved a lot of money for her, bought land for her, and even set up a company under her name... He has done

so many things for Baby Zetty just so she can live a carefree life.

"Now you're dragging her into the unknown, a turbulent and stormy unknown. How could Jaybie possibly agree to it?"

Baby Zetty showed a sweet smile. She was used to thinking that Daddy was both gentle and stern toward her but finally realized today that Daddy's love had surpassed all the rules he had set.

Baby Zetty thought that Daddy's concern was all the more reason for her to grow stronger and become invincible. Her parents would eventually grow old one day, and Baby Zetty vowed to be her parents' support.

Baby Zetty walked up to Angeline, bent down, and noticed her mother's pink eyes. Angeline did not want Baby Zetty to become Boye's heir.

Baby Zetty gently embraced Mommy and consoled her, saying, "Mommy, didn't you once say that girls are like water, seemingly weak but are all-encompassing and carry infinite power? Why don't you let go of your hands and let me make the decision for once?"

Angeline's heart was a mess.

In fact, she was actually a decisive person but would always become indecisive whenever her children were involved.

"Let Mommy consider it, Baby Zetty." "Please agree to it, Mommy. Perhaps only by making myself busy would I be able to forget the pain Brother Finn caused me."

Angeline stared at Baby Zetty in a daze. These very words were the reason why Angeline stopped persisting.

The pain of heartbreak could leave someone feeling completely hopeless.

Baby Zetty needed the motivation to keep living.

Angeline sighed heavily. "You must tell Mommy when you can't stand it any longer. You don't need to live such a hard life, Baby Zetty."

Baby Zetty nodded. "I know, Mommy."

After returning from Carefree Garden, Angeline looked listless and would sigh from time to time.

Jay thought she was merely disappointed because she had failed to seek medical treatment for Baby Zatty at Carefree Garden.

Jay was caught between laughter and tears.

Heartbreak was an illness that stemmed from the heart, so how could any doctor cure it?

He sat next to Angeline and said, "What's wrong? Even Grandma Boye can't do anything to cure Baby Zetty's illness?"

Chapter 1885

Chapter 1885

Angeline looked sheepishly at Jay. "Well, actually, Grandma Boye does have a solution."

However, she was worried that Jay would not allow it.

Jay eyed Angeline suspiciously. "Oh? Let's hear it, then."

Angeline said with an extremely soft voice, "She has managed to divert Baby Zetty's attention."

Jay figured that it was a good thing to have Baby Zetty's attention diverted, though when he saw how crestfallen Angeline looked, he could tell that Grandma Boye must have asked Baby Zetty to do something unusual.

He waited silently for Angeline to continue. Angeline hesitated for a fleeting moment before saying to him awkwardly, "Jaybie, Baby Zetty has decided to take up Grandma Boye's mantle." Jay was momentarily stunned.

A hint of disappointment flashed across his mesmerizing face. "This child has always stood aloof from worldly affairs. Even if she only learns a smidgen of knowledge, she can still make a good career out of being a physician in Grand Asia next time. Baby Zetty is intelligent by nature and surpasses

all her peers. I'm just worried that she will follow Grandma Boye's footsteps, wandering from place to place her whole life."

Angeline said, "Baby Zetty was the one who took the initiative to beg Grandma Boye to teach her medicine. The child is extremely determined. We have already stopped her from dating Finn, and if we stop her from learning medicine now, I'm worried that she will struggle to find an outlet to vent her emotions. There's already something not quite right with her mental state these days. Her appetite has also increased greatly, and if we stop her from venting out her frustrations now, I'm afraid she will fall ill from this." Angeline was already in tears at this point.

Feeling sorry for Angeline, Jay reached out and wiped her tears with his fingertips. Then with much consideration, he comforted her and said, "Don't get so anxious first, Angeline. Your health isn't good, so don't get mad and make yourself sick. You must know that our child relies on you for support. When Baby Zetty is down, that's all the more reason you can't be disheartened, okay?"

Angeline leaned on him and nodded.

"I know."

In a residential building.

Finn was lying on Tammy's bed. The cast on his leg had been removed but he still found it difficult to walk properly.

Tammy asked him, "You've been cadging meals and lodging at my place for 40 days now. Now that your legs are almost healed, don't you think it's time you leave?"

Finn cushioned the back of his head with both his arms and looked at Tammy in a calm, unruffled manner. He then pestered her and said, "Do you know what line of work I'm in?" Tammy shook her head, and a hint of curiosity was flowing in her eyes.

"I'm Sir Ares' bodyguard. My job is extremely dangerous, so if I can't walk properly, I might get unlucky on my first day back at work and kick the bucket."

When Tammy heard him saying that he could kick the bucket, her gaze fell on Finn's mesmerizing face. She thought that she would never forgive herself if he died because of her.

"If that's the case, how many more days of rest do you need?" Tammy wanted to cry but had no tears. "You've used up all my money."

Finn picked up a piece of red apple from the fruit plate and popped it into his mouth, chewing it. He looked at the silly yet adorable Tammy heartlessly. Did she actually believe that he would kick the bucket? This young lady was just too innocent.

"Do you really have no money?" Finn asked.

Tammy nodded vigorously. "I'm still a student. My mother gave me some money when the semester started. That was supposed to be for my living expenses this entire semester, but I was unfortunate to crash into you. After paying for your medical expenses and spending the money to take care of you, I don't have any left."

Finn glanced at Tammy's inexpensive and ordinary clothes. He could tell that Tammy grew up in a really poor family.

Finn decided to help Tammy.

"Do you want a job?" Finn asked.

Tammy's eyes lit up. Poor college students like her would often look for part-time jobs, though the pay was usually really low.

Tammy chirped, "Are you going to introduce me to a job?"

Though very quickly, Tammy's expression sank. She glanced at Finn with disdain and smacked her lips, saying, "You're so poor yourself, so what kind of job could you possibly introduce to me?"

Finn thought about how worried he would be if a silly and adorable girl like her fell into other people's hands, so he said, "Become my nanny and I'll pay you for it."

Tammy tutted and said, "I've been your nanny for a month and haven't seen you take any initiatives to pay for anything, yet you still want me to be your nanny? Do you even have the money to pay for my salary?"

Finn was simply an incompetent and ignorant man in Tammy's eyes.

Chapter 1886

Chapter 1886

Finn said, "We can sign a contract. You can clean my bathroom, feed my pets, and cook for me when I'm home. I'll pay you 10,000 bucks a month." Tammy's jaw dropped. 10,000 bucks a month?

Holy moly, this was a good deal that even not many of her seniors could get.

Tammy quickly snapped back to reality and closed her gaping mouth. She darted Finn a sidelong glance." I don't believe you."

Finn stretched out his hand. "Give me your phone."

Tammy handed him her mobile phone, and Finn transferred 60,000 bucks to her account immediately

Tammy looked at the amount on her phone, repeatedly checking the number of zeros before looking at Finn in astonishment.

"Do you want to do it or not?"

"Yes." Tammy nodded.

At this moment, the doorbell rang.

Finn ordered Tammy, "Go get the door."

Tammy staggered over to open the door. Standing outside the door was a fine-looking yet cold and

elegant man dressed in a smart suit.

"I'm here to see Finn," Tempest said.

There was a polite smile on his face.

Tammy quickly turned sideways to let him in, saying," Come in. Finn's inside."

Tempest entered Finn's bedroom and closed the door behind him.

Finn was startled when he saw Tempest's grave and stern face. Tempest had always been a warm and gentle man, but his entire being was covered in frost today. He looked extremely forbidding and cold, and that made Finn feel at a loss at what to do.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that?" Finn asked, palpitating.

Tempest pulled a long face and walked up to the chair next to Finn to sit down.

"What's with you and this Tammy?" Tempest asked.

Finn laughed. "Why are you suddenly interested in my private life?"

Tempest asked, "Did you fall in love with her?"

Finn pondered. When he first saw Tammy, he had felt a strange kind of fondness brewing in his heart. That was why he pestered Tammy to stay by his side. He had never actually delved into the question of whether he liked her. "I don't know."

Tempest glared furiously at Finn. "You don't know if you like her or not? Why are you staying at her place, then?"

Finn replied, "She hit me, so she has to take responsibility for it."

"Do you have no money to hire a caregiver?" Tempest asked furiously.

Finn said, "I have a caregiver who's readily available, it'll be a waste not to use her."

Tempest continued, "So are your legs fine now? Are you two going to keep sticking to each other or part ways?"

"I've already hired her to be my nanny." Finn let out an unruly smile.

Tempest gritted his teeth. "I see, so you have fallen in love with her. What about Baby Zetty? Have you ever thought about Baby Zetty's feelings?"

Finn's smile gradually vanished, and all of a sudden, he grew irritated.

"I treat Baby Zetty as my sister. Besides, she's too young. You don't wish for me to harm her, do you?" Finn said.

 

Chapter 1887

Chapter 1887

Tempest raged, yelling, "You could always wait for Baby Zetty if you liked her, just like how Sir Ares had waited for Madam to grow up back then."

Finn exclaimed in an exaggerated manner, "Foster Father is only six years older than Madam. I'm 12 years older than Baby Zetty. She's just like a little baby to me. I can never regard her as my life partner." Tempest pointed at the door. "Tammy, the girl outside the door, is just a kid too, isn't she?"

"She's an adult, at least," Finn said.

Tempest stood up. "I understand now. You like Tammy, not Baby Zetty, right?"

Finn fell silent.

Tempest walked toward the door, and when he got there, he suddenly turned back to say, "I think you ought to know that Baby Zetty is sick."

A flash of panic emerged on Finn's good-looking face. Concern was written all over his face. "What illness is it? Is it serious?"

Tempest replied, "Binge eating disorder."

Finn's eyes were filled with confusion. "Why does she suddenly have a binge eating disorder? She was fine,

wasn't she?"

Tempest's lips parted, and eventually, he changed his mind. He replied casually, "Well, you know as well that mental illness runs in the Severe family. Baby Zetty may have inherited it." Finn was grief-stricken.

He had raised Baby Zetty for many years, and the two had relied on each other during those times. Like a father, he had devoted all his time to love and care for Baby Zetty with the only hope that she would grow up healthily and happily.

When he heard that Baby Zetty was sick, he felt as though someone had left a gash in his heart, leaving him heartbroken.

"How did she start binge eating?" Finn clenched his fists unconsciously to stop himself from shaking.

Tempest looked at the agonizing expression on Finn's face and knew that he had figured out he was the reason for Baby Zetty's misery. Tempest could not bring himself to sprinkle salt on Finn's wound and chose to leave in anger.

After Tempest left, Finn grew devastated and crestfallen.

He stood up slowly and limped outside.

Tammy saw him and hurried over to help him.

"Where are you going, Finn?" More often than not, Tammy would try to drive Finn away due to her financial constraints, but Finn would pester her and refuse to leave every time.

Today, Tammy was not the one driving Finn away and he was the one who offered to leave instead.

Tammy felt a sense of disappointment for some reason.

Finn leaned against the door. When he saw the disappointed look on her face, he suddenly laughed.

"What? You don't want me to leave?" Finn teased.

Tammy blushed with shame as she looked at him, nodding coyly.

Finn explained, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Tammy was delighted to hear that he was coming back.

Finn opened the door and walked out.

He took a cab downstairs and came straight to Grand Asia.

Grayson and Storm looked at him, both of them behaving exceedingly cold and indifferent.

"Well, well, I thought you could no longer free yourself after throwing yourself into the tender arms of a woman. It didn't take you long to come back, eh?" Grayson teased him coldly. Finn said in a forlorn tone, "You're all blaming me for hurting Baby Zetty, aren't you?"

Chapter 1888

Chapter 1888

Storm said, "You know better than anyone how much Baby Zetty likes you. How could you go out on a date with someone else in front of her? Don't you feel sorry for Sir Ares and Madam at all?" Finn recalled the day he went shopping with Tammy a t the mall. He had vaguely sensed Baby Zetty's presence, but he did not see her when he looked around.

Was Baby Zetty actually around when he flirted with Tammy that day?

Finn was engulfed in self-blame. He pulled at his hair in agony and said with a guilty conscience, "I didn't mean to hurt Baby Zetty. She's just a kid to me. Besides, I'm not that young anymore and I, too, long to find someone I love. I want to have a family of my own and enjoy the warmth of my own family just like Foster Father."

Finn's honesty touched Grayson and Storm's hearts.

They were all orphans who had been abandoned by their parents since childhood. Although Jay had adopted them, they were still haunted by the shadows of being abandoned.

It was because of that Grayson had stopped seeking

love and was very much against starting a family of his own.

On the other hand, Finn was desperate to feel the warmth that only a family could bring.

There were reasons that Finn found it hard to speak about. Firstly, he really did just treat Baby Zetty as a kid. Secondly, Finn had yet to delve into the reasons himself, but he simply was not confident enough to accept Baby Zetty because of their huge age gap. He was apprehensive about spending half of his life waiting for her only to be abandoned ruthlessly by her when his hair turned gray.

Grayson and Storm stopped rebuking Finn because they dared not make decisions for Finn either. If they asked Finn to wait for Baby Zetty, what if all his hopes and efforts resulted in nothing in the end?

If that happened, Finn, who would already be a middle-aged man by then, would no longer have any desire for love. This would be extremely cruel to Finn.

"I would like to see Baby Zetty," Finn said in agony.

Grayson said earnestly, "A piece of advice for you, Finn. If you have no plans of getting together with Baby Zetty, then just let her go. If you can avoid each other from now on, then I suggest you avoid each other. Perhaps with time, Baby Zetty will soon forget about you."

Finn's dark and starry pupils contracted abruptly.

Grayson wanted him to avoid meeting Baby Zetty for the rest of his life. At the thought of how he could no longer meet Baby Zetty, Finn became exceedingly mournful.

"Does it have to be this way?" Finn asked in agony.

Storm said, "Finn, Baby Zetty now has a binge eating disorder because of you. You know just how kind Foster Father treats us and how important Baby Zetty is to him. You need to take huge responsibility for the things you say and do to Baby Zetty.

"You wish to see her but can't promise her a future together. That will only aggravate her condition and cause her endless worry. Rather than waiting for that to happen, it's best that you avoid seeing her completely..."

Finn's expression was bleak and desolate. "I'll just steal a glance..."

Grayson knew nothing about love and had always done things decisively. Therefore, he was puzzled to see Finn acting so indecisively.

"Finn, you need to toughen up and get rid of all your desire to meet her. As the saying goes, it's better to just get the pain over with rather than prolonging the agony. Maybe Baby Zetty will be able to walk out of the pain after some time," Grayson said.

Finn's straight and tall frame quivered.

"Okay, I understand."

Everyone merely paid attention to Baby Zetty's feelings while overlooking Finn's feelings.

Finn might be a seven-foot-tall man, but when it came to the topic of love, he was so fragile that he could not stand a single blow.

He was desperate to see Baby Zetty, so desperate...

Finn returned to Tammy's place dejectedly.

When Tammy saw Finn, she noticed his usually bright and charming face, one that was always plastered with an unruly smile, was now covered with a layer of unspeakable pain. "What's wrong?" Tammy asked, sounding concerned.

Finn slumped on the couch and gazed at Tammy without blinking, asking, "Have you ever loved someone?"

Tammy was taken aback and then asked coyly, "Why are you asking about this?"

Finn said, "How does it feel like to love someone?"

Chapter 1889

Chapter 1889

Tammy was generous enough to share the story of her first love with him, saying, "I once had a crush on a boy who felt the same way for me, but we were both too young and our parents were strongly against us dating each other. As a result, my parents locked me in the house and I spent my days crying-even to the point where I tried to end my life..."

Tammy raised her wrist and revealed a scar, saying," Look, I almost killed myself once. But I regretted it as soon as the knife sliced through and blood gushed out of the wound. All of a sudden, death seemed scarier than heartbreaks.

"After that day, my parents released me, and I went to that boy's house only to find him kissing another girl. I thought my world was falling apart at the time.

"I cried the entire way home and cried secretly for half a month without my parents knowing. I eventually learned that scumbags like that don't deserve my tears."

Tammy shrugged, looking carefree and breezy as though she was telling someone else's story. "A child's love is often pure. They can be in love one second and stop loving in the next."

Finn's eyes dimmed. "That's you."

Finn feared that Baby Zetty would be loyal and devoted just like her parents.

Tammy rolled her eyes at him. "My friends are more casual than me when it comes to relationships. Some of them even go on multiple dates while a few others date for money. But I've never seen anyone stay true and loyal like what the books teach us."

Finn said, "Just because you haven't met anyone like that doesn't mean such a love doesn't exist. My foster father and his wife love each other very much and vowed to stay together till the end." Tammy's eyes widened. "Are you talking about Sir Ares who came to visit you that day?"

Finn nodded.

Tammy said with displeasure, "Sir Ares is the crown prince of Imperial Capital-a giant among men. If I were Ms. Severe, I wouldn't fall in love with anyone else either."

After a pause, she continued, "Ms. Severe is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. What's more, she's well-learned, gentle, and kind. It's understandable why Sir Ares loves her alone. They're no ordinary people, so how could we mention them in the same breath?"

Finn was no three-year-old child. In fact, he had seen many cases of young men and women who were deeply in love but unable to fulfill their passion. It was true that he had not seen a love as flawless as Jay and

Angeline's.

He hoped that Baby Zetty would forget about him after some time. The child was still immature, after all.

What he did not know, however, was that the time Baby Zetty would take to forget him could potentially turn into an agonizing and stifling misery that lasted an entire lifetime.

Just binge eating alone was enough to put Baby Zetty through utter misery.

Her weight had increased at a visible rate. Her featherlight and slender body was now full and round after just two months. Moreover, her delicate face swelled up like a round disk with a protruding double chin. Beauty no longer existed on the young girl's once beautiful and gorgeous frame.

What followed the abnormal changes to Baby Zetty's body were the unpleasant voices she heard from all around her.

Whenever she went out alone, she would hear her classmates mocking her while pointing their fingers a t her, "Guys, look! That's Robert's sister. I heard she has a strange disorder that caused her weight to skyrocket by more than ten pounds in just two months."

"Do you think she'll turn into a beast if she continues to gain weight? Gosh, she's ugly."

Baby Zetty had always grown up in the center of attention. Now when she was suddenly faced with malicious slander and criticisms from the people around her, she grew extremely nervous and uneasy. After her self-study session at night, she snuck out of the campus by climbing over the fence.

When the teacher did the rounds in the dorm, she realized that Baby Zetty was missing and called the Areses immediately.

Jay ordered all Ghost members to search for Baby Zetty after receiving the news.

Angeline feared for Baby Zetty's safety and drove around to look for her.

Angeline eventually found Baby Zetty in Horizon Colors.

She was hiding in a corner, constantly raising her hand to wipe her tears.

Chapter 1890

Chapter 1890

When Angeline noticed the sharp increase in her daughter's weight, making her turn from a white swan to an ugly duckling, she could roughly guess what was troubling Baby Zetty. She walked over and pulled Baby Zetty into her arms gently.

"Mommy." Baby Zetty cried her heart out in her arms." They all laughed at me and called me a beast! I don't want to go to school anymore."

Angeline's tears rained down her face.

She gently patted Baby Zetty's back and felt the child quivering. She could tell how helpless her daughter was feeling.

"Okay, if you don't want to go to school, then you don't have to." Education might be important to Angeline, but it was nothing compared to safeguarding her child's dignity.

Baby Zetty said, "Daddy won't agree to it."

Angeline said, "I'll talk to him."

Baby Zetty complained in distress, "I don't want to be like this either, Mommy, but I can't stop myself from eating all the time or I'll be very, very unhappy."

Tears welled up in Angeline's ethereal-looking and delicate eyes. As Baby Zetty's mother, her child's guardian, all she wanted to do now was to protect her child at all cost since she had gotten hurt.

"Baby Zetty, what if... What if Mommy gets Brother Finn back for you? Will that cheer you up?" Angeline might be acting selfishly or cruelly, but now that her daughter was sick, the only thing she wanted to do was get Finn to help Baby Zetty recover.

She had no time to care about the innocent Tammy anymore.

However, Baby Zetty was extremely resistant to the idea and shook her head vigorously. "Please don't tell Brother Finn, Mommy. I beg you. I don't want him to see me like this."

Angeline was helpless. "How can I help you then, honey? How can I make you feel better?"

Baby Zetty replied, "Hide me, Mommy. Please hide me. I don't want anyone to see me."

Angeline embraced her tightly. "Okay."

Angeline rented a place for Baby Zetty. Baby Zetty then said to Angeline, "You should go back, Mommy. Don't make Daddy worry."

Angeline said. "No, I'll stay with you."

Baby Zetty shook her head. "Don't worry about me, Mommy. I'll be okay. Don't worry, I'll keep in touch with you."

Angeline insisted, saying, "No way, I can't leave you here alone."

Baby Zetty said, "If you're worried, you can send Uncle Grayson, Brother Tempest, or even Brother Storm, just don't send Brother Finn. Ask one of them to keep me company." Angeline mulled it over. Tempest's steadfast and upright face flashed in her mind.

Therefore, she gave Tempest a call.

"Tempest, can you please come to the second floor of Building 5 of Horizon Colors immediately? Don't tell Sir Ares. Come secretly."

When Tempest heard Angelina's anxious tone and strange instructions, he glanced secretly at Jay with unease.

Jay noticed something unusual and questioned him," Who called you?"

Tempest looked as though he was caught in a difficult position.
