Ch. 1901..1910

Chapter 1901

"Your sister-in-law was bullied under your watch. Do you know about this?" Jay asked with a frown.

Jean's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.

Angeline was his cousin's everything. If she was bullied under his watch, Jean knew that Jay would burn him to the ground.

However, Jean was an alert man. He frequented TV Station and knew about all the bullying that happened. However, he had not heard about Angeline getting bullied.

Jean looked at Jay's handsome but unwelcoming face. He knew that his cousin, who was a busy man, would not pick a fight with him over nothing. He trembled as he took out his phone and called his assistant. "Shaun, my sister-in-law Angeline was bullied in TV Station. Is this how you look after my relatives?"

Shaun was shaking as he replied. "Young Master Jean, Ms. Severe hasn't been to TV Station."

Jean was confused. He looked at Jay and said, "Big Brother, please give me some hints as to who's bullying her. Otherwise, it'll be like looking for a needle in a haystack"

Jay beckoned to him and Jean moved his face closer. Out of the blue, Jay slapped his face hard and shouted, "I heard that you've recently become acquainted with a popular actress?"

On the way to TV Station, he had found out everything he could about Luna Hilton. He was surprised that it was his cousin, Jean, who was backing Luna.

Jean swallowed his saliva and uttered, "Big Brother, you, you... Since when did you care about my personal life?"

Then, he proudly showed off. "Her name is Luna. She's tall and has a very delicate face. She has a coquettish voice too. I've never been tempted by any woman before, but when I first laid eyes on her, my heart skipped a beat."

Jay pushed him away and said with a sullen face, "I heard that she's a chubby woman? I guess she matches your type."

Jean used to like to hang out with men to the point that he was misunderstood for being gay. However, now that he had redirected his focus to women, it turned out he liked hardy women.

Jean laughed and said, "If you compare her to a gentle lady like Angeline, she's indeed a bit more hardy.

However, Brother, you still haven't answered me. Why are you suddenly interested in my personal life?"

Jay said with a cold expression, "I don't have the time to be bothered with your personal life. I just found out that your woman bullied my woman. How are we going to settle this?"

Jean was stunned.

"Big Brother, that's not possible, though?" Jean fell into a chair after he sensed the icy aura emanating from Jay.

Jay said, "Your sister-in-law complained to me, so it must be true."

Jean seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly took out his phone to call Luna.

"Hey, Jean." Luna's delicate voice sounded.

Jay got goosebumps. "So, this is your type." Jay looked down on Jean as he said that.

Jean asked Luna nervously, "The other day, you mentioned that someone was fighting with you for a role. What's that person's name?"

When Jean mentioned this, Luna angrily answered," It's the new actress with the surname Harts. She's arrogant and rude. She told me that the female lead role was hers. She clearly didn't know that I had you to back me up. Who else in Imperial Capital is more powerful than the Ares family?"

Jean looked at Jay, a little confused. "Jay, this is a misunderstanding. The girl who Luna bullied has the surname Harts, it's not Angeline."

Jay was confused too.

However, he knew that Angeline would never lie.

"What's her first name?" Jay asked.

Chapter 1902

Chapter 1902

Jean asked Luna once more, "J what?"

Luna gave it a thought and answered, "I think she's called J. Harts... She was dressed rather ordinarily. One glance and you know that she has no backers."

Jean was petrified,

"J. Harts..."

As in Jay's heart?

Only Angelina and that lovesick mind of hers could come up with such a name.

When Jay heard this name, his facial features were stained with a smile. His whole appearance looked somewhat warmer.

Jean reprimanded Luna in a dreary manner, "You've stirred up a disaster! You're done for now."

Luna could feel her arrogant self falling from cloud nine, crashing to the ground below. She stammered," Jean, who else is a bigger patron than you in Imperial Capital?" Jean roared into the phone's speaker, "My backer!"

Once he hung up the phone, he acted as though he was wagging his tail like a puppy while pleading for mercy, "Big Brother, this is my first time ever being so serious toward a girl. Can't you let Luna off the hook this one time for my sake?"

Jay glared at Jean with an icy look on his face and said coldly, "It's my Angeline's first time complaining about something to me as well."

Jay knew that this matter would turn out a bit more troublesome. Hence, he started begging for mercy, "Big Brother, how would Big Sis like to punish Luna?"

Jay tried to play it down. "Ask Luna to step down from her lead role and give her the antagonist role instead."

Jean was ecstatic. "That's all?"

Jay rubbed the tip of his nose gracefully. "This is her request, not mine."

Jean's smile instantly froze. He kept a straight face as he pleaded once more, "Then, what do you want to do, Big Brother?"

Jay said, "Your sister-in-law is the person in charge of the Yorks family and the head of the Ares family.

She's also the chairman of Grand Asia. If someone were to bully a person of her status and she becomes rather unhappy from it, how much should one pay for such mental anguish?" Jean was in between laughter and tears. "Big Brother, how about I compensate Big Sis with all the money Luna has made in the past couple of years? Does that sound good?" Jay replied, "Is that all?"

Jean was about to cry out loud.

"Then, what do you want?"

"An Ares should shut out any woman who's lacking in virtue." Jay's gaze became stricter, and even his tone sounded sharper.

He straightened himself up, and his eagle-like gaze fell on Jean's hesitant face. He continued, "Jean, you should know that I'm no longer the head of the Ares family. Those illegitimate children from your family's side are currently keeping a close eye on you. As soon as you make a mistake and fall from grace, I can guarantee they'll chew you up and spit you right out. As for my Jens, he may not be willing to care about your family's love affairs and problems. If you're with such a troublesome woman, she'll be the death of you sooner or later."

Jean said, "I know you're doing this for my own good, Big Brother. Alright, I'll listen to you."

Jay stood up, and his deep eyes were locked on Jean's complicated and hesitant face. He shook his head before walking away.

In order to give his sister-in-law a reasonable explanation, Jean decided to call Luna over. He scolded her resentfully, "How are you so unlucky, Luna? Do you know how big Imperial Capital is? You could've bullied just about anyone, but why'd you have to step on my sister-in-law's toe?"

Chapter 1903

Chapter 1903

Luna's face turned as white as a ghost. Despite everything, she still hoped that Jean would protect her because of their relationship. "You have to help m e, Jean. As long as you try to shield me, then your big brother surely won't have a fall out with you for a mere woman, right?"

Jean said, "If he were any other big brother, then sure. I would just have to say a few words and that would settle it. But you've offended my eldest brother, the well-known crown prince of Imperial Capital. That big brother of mine has always spoiled my sister-in-law. I'm merely his cousin. Even when his own mother offended his wife, the repercussions were grave."

Luna's face turned whiter than a sheet of paper now..." I've offended Imperial Capital's crown prince?"

Jean nodded at her.

Luna immediately burst into tears. "You're the one who told me that you'd always cover for me, that I can walk triumphantly all over Imperial Capital. I haven't even been famous for long before getting trampled on by that sister-in-law of yours. Boo-hoo!"

After crying for quite some time, she thought of a serious question and widened her eyes to ask, "How does the crown prince plan on punishing me?"

Jean replied, "My sister-in-law wants you to give up the lead role."

Luna wiped the tears off her face and burst into a smile. "That's all?"

Jean's expression turned sorrowful, and he paused for a moment before continuing, "But my big brother isn't planning on forgiving you. He wants to shut you out and have you pay up with all of your fortune."

Luna lost all color on her face. "He sure is cruel."

Jean continued, "But you sure are blind. My sister-in-law's beauty is ethereal, so even if she was dressed rather plainly, there should've been an air of grandeur around her. Forget the fact that you offended her, but you even pushed our Josie into premature labor. My sister-in-law specifically said that you lack virtue, and my big brother added that this is the first time she's ever complained about anything to him. He surely won't do anything to disappoint his wife."

After a slight pause, he said, "There's no way out of this matter, Luna. I suggest you quit showbiz for now."

"Okay," Luna replied dejectedly.

Three days later.

Angeline showed up in front of the cast and crew once more. The director told her while groveling, "Miss Harts, the management has agreed to have you take on the female lead role. After this, try to practice your lines with the male lead. Do well, and let's hope you'll

become popular immediately."

Angeline could not care less about popularity, but she had always been a serious and responsible person. Since she had accepted the job, she would do her best for the crew and cast. Hence, she began to be engrossed in the intense world of film shooting.

On her first day upon joining the cast, she met Ash Long, the actor playing the male lead. It was said that this actor was extremely popular and had generally been active only on the big screen. This was the first time he had agreed on doing a drama series.

The young actors and actresses in the crew team admired him very much.

Hence, Angeline took the director's advice and went to him to rehearse her lines.

When the actor heard that Angeline was a newcomer, he began to show a temper of a big shot. "She's merely a newcomer. It's a blessing for her to be able to act alongside me. I don't think there's a need for us to rehearse. I don't have the time to teach a newbie..."

When Angeline heard this, she immediately pushed the dressing room door wide open and walked up to him, trying to reason with him.

"I know how precious your time is, but so is mine. I have a sick daughter at home, and I'd love to end work early so I can be with her. Since everyone's time is limited, let's hurry up so we can all go home early.' Ash looked at her closely and said in a frivolous tone,"

Oh

my.

You're quite the beauty, aren't you? You wouldn't have used any unspoken means to get this far ahead, right?"

Angeline's face became livid.

Suddenly, she leaned forward and said overbearingly," Do you know how the previous female lead got replaced?"

Ash looked at Angelina suspiciously. "Do you perhaps have a backer?"

Angelina replied, "If you dare make any trouble, I can make them replace you as well."

Ash looked at her in slight disbelief and smiled before saying, "Who doesn't have a backer nowadays?"

Angelina retorted, "I'm not here to compare whose backers are more powerful. We're at work, so please be more serious."

Then, Ash said, "Alright then. Let's practice the scenes if you'd like. My part's fine now, you can show me yours first."

Angelina was resisting the urge to slap him to death.

However, since she was a newcomer, Angelina was still afraid of being a burden to everyone, so she self-effacingly started to perform her scene.

She knelt in front of the actor and immersed herself in her role within seconds.

Chapter 1904

Chapter 1904

"Jocelyn's dead."

"Sage, please believe me. Her death has nothing to do with me!"

At this moment, Ash suddenly raised his hand and landed a slap across Angelina's face... He ferociously rebuked her, "Jocelyn's dead, and I'll make sure you'll be buried with her."

Angeline covered her stinging and burning face... It was so painful that she could not help but gasp.

However, she continued the scene and acted according to the script.

Once the rehearsal was done, Angeline stood up tremblingly from the ground. At this moment, she could hear the other actors' mocking laughter.

Angeline also heard someone ridiculing her. "She deserves it for getting the role through her backer."

A wicked smile also appeared on Ash's thin lips.

Only now did Angeline know that he was trying to humiliate her with the help of the script.

It was true that Angeline had a delicate and soft personality, but she was still a girl who was pampered

by others while growing up, so she was undoubtedly by no means timid.

She said to Ash in an earnest tone, "I'll consider it as Sage was the one who hit Wren today, and I'll not bicker with you over this matter. But if you slapped me because I replaced Luna Hilton and you despise me for using my power for personal gain, then you should know how wrong you are."

Angeline left after saying these words.

Ash looked at her stubborn yet frail-looking back, and his eyes became obscured.

"Did she truly use her connections to get the female lead role?"

His manager said, "I can see how hard she works on her acting. Her performance is even better than Luna's. It may not be a bad thing to act alongside her, Ash."

Ash nodded slightly as well.

"She does have the looks of a protagonist already, and she has a knack for acting," he said impartially.

"I hope I won't be disappointed."

When Angeline returned home, Jay caught sight of the red and swollen mark on the side of her face.

Her skin had always been relatively thin, so any rubbing or scratching would always reveal traces of bruising.

"What happened to your face?" Jay asked in a deep voice.

Angeline smiled bitterly. "Someone hit me."

Jay's threatening aura immediately permeated the air. "Who did it?"

Angeline hurriedly explained, "Don't get upset. The actor was just too immersed as he wanted to make the scene more realistic."

Jay felt like he was about to go mad.

"I can't even bear to hit you myself, what gives him the right?"

Angeline felt that she had already relied on him to bully others previously, and replacing Luna had given her a bad reputation as well. This time, she could not ask Jay to step forward to help her again. Angeline could only suppress her temper and explain, "Don't be angry, Jaybie. The opening scene in the script is that the male lead misunderstood that the female lead murdered his sweetheart, so he lands a slap on the female lead. All the conflicts in this series are inherently strong, and all professional actors should be able to act accordingly in these scenes..."

Jay touched Angeline's face and asked in a distressed manner, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't. You know how thin my skin is, so he didn't go too far with it."

Jay was distressed for her. "How about you quit, Angeline?"

Angeline waved her hand at him. "How could I give up halfway? If the children find out that their Mommy is a person who can't stand a bit of hardship, won't they follow in my footsteps and quit if they encounter difficulties in the future?"

Chapter 1905

Chapter 1905

Angeline was missing Baby Zetty, so she was not in the mood to discuss work with Jay. After she hurriedly finished eating, she went ahead and drove to Horizon Colors. After not seeing Baby Zetty for a couple of days, it seemed like she had gotten even rounder.

Angeline felt distressed when she noticed how much weight Baby Zetty was putting on with each passing day.

However, she did not want to instill such a harmful frame of mind in Baby Zetty. Hence, she forced a smile and pretended to greet Baby Zetty with ease.

"Hi, my baby. How are you doing?"

Baby Zetty looked a little depressed. "Mommy, I'm gaining weight again."

Angeline sat down with Baby Zetty and placed her daughter's head in her embrace. She whispered to her, "Don't worry about it. You'll lose your baby fat soon."

Baby Zetty looked at Angeline and asked innocently," Mommy, will I continue gaining weight like this? I don't feel very good nowadays. Will I turn into a big monster?" Angeline could not answer Baby Zetty's questions.

She gently said to Baby Zetty, "Baby, there'll come a time when each of us has to face hardships. The strong will survive while the weak will perish.

Mommy believes that you're one of the strong ones because you have Mommy's and Daddy's blood flowing inside of you."

Baby Zetty hugged Angeline and cried out sorrowfully, "Mommy, I've used up all of my perseverance to convince myself not to think about him, but I can't control myself. Whenever I think of him, I have the urge to binge eat... Otherwise, it's hard for me to bear."

Angeline gently patted the child's back as if she was comforting a newborn baby. "Baby Zetty, you have to be strong. And you'll have to be stronger for Mommy and Daddy's sake."

Baby Zetty said, "Mommy, I promise you that I'll definitely become stronger and more resilient."

Then, Baby Zetty fell asleep peacefully in Mommy's arms. When Angeline was about to carry Baby Zetty to her bed, she noticed that she could barely lift her.

Her current strength could not compare to what it used to be and Baby Zetty was getting too heavy for her.

Tempest walked over and said, "TH do it, Madam."

Tempest carefully carried Baby Zetty over to her bed. Then, he covered Baby Zetty with the blanket gently and considerately before returning to Angelina's side. Angeline pointed to the chair in front of her and said," Sit down and have a chat with me, Tempest."

Hence, Tempest sat down in front of Angeline.

Angeline began to observe Tempest's face. His facial features were extraordinarily handsome, and he exuded fortitude, making him look like a very earnest and steady young man at first glance. Angeline said with much emotion, "Back when the Ares family was under complicated circumstances, your foster father left you to Jenson, Storm to Baby Robbie, Finn to Baby Zetty, and Grayson to me. I initially thought that it was a random arrangement, but now I know that it was all part of his meticulous planning."

Tempest was slightly startled, and he was puzzled by Angeline's words.

Angeline said, "It's because he understands every single one of you just like his own."

A satisfied smile appeared on Tempest's handsome face. After all, he truly worshipped Jay. "Foster Father's strategies let him plan for victory from thousands of miles away. His talent is truly unmatched." Angeline said, "Then, can you tell me why he had asked Finn to take care of Baby Zetty?"

Tempest said, "Since the madam wants to know, then I'd like to share my speculation about Foster Father's thoughts. Finn was probably chosen to care for Baby Zetty because he has the highest mastery of martial arts, so he'll be able to protect her well. Moreover, Finn's also the person who's least likely to develop feelings for Baby Zetty."

"Oh, why is that?"

Tempest answered, "It's because Finn met his first love when he was in college. But the beautiful girl passed away after saving Finn, so Finn had always continued to keep her inside his heart." Angeline was utterly shocked. Jay had never mentioned this matter to her before.

At this moment, Angeline finally understood Jay's painstaking efforts. He had wholly rejected the idea of Finn and Baby Zetty getting together from the very beginning because he did not want his baby daughter to end up devastated by love.

Chapter 1906

Chapter 1906

Tempest said, "Foster Father loves his daughter deeply. Other than considering Baby Zetty's life and safety, he also took her innocence into account." Angeline suddenly realized something.

At the time, Jaybie had worried about the entire demise of the Ares family. Out of fear that Baby Zetty would end up an orphan, he handed Baby Zetty over to Finn, believing that Finn would never develop any other types of feelings toward Baby Zetty.

Tempest smiled in a courteously warm manner and said, "Madam, all men desire beautiful and noble women. Baby Zetty is such a cute and beautiful child. Once she's all grown up, it would be difficult for us common folk to guarantee that we wouldn't fall for her."

Angelina's heart felt a little sore as she said, "Your foster father failed to foresee that the Ares family would manage to stand tall and mighty under his protection. If he had expected that he was certainly able to come home, perhaps he wouldn't have made such an arrangement."

Tempest was somewhat perplexed... Yet, he went along with her. "Madam, you should be the one to understand Foster Father's mind best."

Angeline stood up and said with a smile, "Alright, I'll be heading out now. I'll be placing Baby Zetty under your care now, Tempest."

Tempest nodded. "Rest easy, Madam. TH take care of Baby Zetty with all my heart."

When Angeline came out of Horizon Colors, she noticed Jay's Rolls-Royce parked right outside. His car window was rolled down, and Jay fixed his apprehensive gaze on Baby Zetty's room. Angeline slightly sighed when she saw him.

A father's love was indeed as tall as the mountains and as deep as the seas.

Yet, she and Baby Zetty had completely misunderstood Jay from the beginning.

"Jaybie, if you want to see her, then go on in," said Angeline as she walked toward him.

Jay replied, "Get in the car."

Angeline looked at the car she had driven here. "I have my own ride."

"Sit in my car," said Jay.

Angeline had no other option but to ride in Jay's Rolls-Royce. As soon as she got in, Jay did not wait for a second more before asking, "How's the kid?" Angeline said, "She's gained even more weight. I can see the light in her eyes getting duller. I'm just afraid that she'll be curled up in her little shell for the rest of her life and won't come out anymore."

Jay's eyes were burning with azure-colored flames. H e tightened his grip around the steering wheels, and when he spoke again, his voice was even colder.

"That silly girl!" His sigh carried an immense amount of dissatisfaction and resentfulness.

Angeline knew that he was discontented with Baby Zetty's weak frame of mind. She extended her hand to hold onto Jay's and pleaded with him, "Just give her some time, Jaybie."

Jaybie said, "Angeline, why don't you hand the child to me? Please stop doing it your way, okay?"

Angeline knew that Jay's wolf-like method of disciplining the child would be severely traumatizing for her. There was trepidation in her heart as she was afraid of what they would gain and lose from doing things his way. "Just give me a little more time."

Hence, Jay could only follow her wishes.

Angeline tactfully persuaded Jay in an attempt to change his method of disciplining Baby Zetty. "If I were the one who's sick at the moment and not Baby Zetty, would you impose your cold-blooded methods o me, Jaybie?"

Jay fell into deep thought.

After some time, he answered her question in all honesty, "No."

Then, he turned his head to look at Angeline. "But the cure to your heart is with me, Angeline. And I'd be willing to follow you forever. However, the medicine for Baby Zetty's broken heart is Finn. How could we force Finn to follow Baby Zetty forever?

"One of these days, she'll have to face the fact that Finn doesn't love her."

Angeline became silent at his words.

Chapter 1907

Chapter 1907

The Rolls-Royce proceeded to drive away.

Baby Zetty suddenly opened her pair of jewel-like obsidian-colored eyes. She sat up, making a few rustling noises. She put on her shoes before walking outside.

"Baby Zetty," Tempest's stern yet gentle voice sounded from behind her.

Baby Zetty's back stiffened slightly as she slowly turned around. Then, she squeezed a bitter smile at Tempest.

"Come here." Tempest beckoned to her to come over.

Baby Zetty heaved a low sigh and walked toward Tempest, accepting her fate.

Tempest extended his broad and gentle hand, holding her hand. He rubbed on it before asking softly, "Are you heading somewhere?"

Tears flickered in Baby Zetty's eyes as she said sorrowfully, "Brother Tempest, I want to go see him... Just a peek will do."

Tempest had an unpleasant expression on his face. Grayson, Storm, and he had discussed this matter, and they had reached a unanimous consensus. If Finn was not able to open his heart to accept Baby Zetty's

feelings, then they had no choice but to become the bad guys. They had to heartlessly separate the two so that they could get the pain over with rather than prolonging the agony.

Baby Zetty said to him sadly, "I'm unable to come to terms with it, Brother Tempest. I think perhaps my confessions haven't been firm enough. That's why Brother Finn has no confidence in me. And maybe that's also the reason he rejected me. I want to give myself another chance and beg him to come back to my side. This time, I'll wipe out all of my so-called pride and self-esteem. I'll beg him to come back to me..."

Tempest felt utterly upset when he saw how brokenhearted and sad Baby Zetty was.

He earnestly spoke to Baby Zetty, "Baby Zetty, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you out. But you have to understand that love can't and shouldn't be forced. If you humble yourself and softly ask Brother Finn to come back, he'd definitely return to you, but it's only because of his gratitude to the Ares family. It's not going to be because of love. And if he were to come back to your side, you'll still not receive the love that you want so badly. If this goes on, both of you will be nothing but fettered..."

Baby Zetty replied, "That's not true. I refuse to believe that Brother Finn doesn't love me back. If he doesn't, then why did he treat me so kindly before? He turned himself into my only sky, yet he ruthlessly abandoned me. Doesn't he know that if my sky falls, I'll be better off dead?"

Baby Zetty's grief painfully moved Tempest, and he ultimately chose to surrender. "Alright. I'll bring you over to see him. But promise me, Baby Zetty, that it'll only be a peek. Then you'll follow me home obediently."

Baby Zetty gratefully embraced Tempest. "Thank you, Brother Tempest."

It was the middle of the night when Tempest drove Baby Zetty over to Finn's residence.

It was a small neighborhood of upscale semi-detached villas where the four Ghost members lived together.

Tempest secretly parked his car in the garage and then took Baby Zetty back to his villa.

The villa on the left side was Finn's, and on the right was Grayson's.

Even though Tempest and Baby Zetty were being very quiet, they still managed to alarm Finn.

The lights in Finn's villa immediately lit up, and Tempest and Baby Zetty could hear Finn's voice." Tempest, why'd you come back in the middle of the night?"

Tempest answered, "I'm just getting a couple of things."

Finn replied, "Oh, then make sure to get some rest."

Tempest let out a sigh of relief.

Baby Zetty was clutching onto her rapidly beating heart. She had not seen her beloved Brother Finn for dozens of days now. She was thrilled just being able to listen to his voice. However, the feeling of bliss would always be accompanied by destruction.

They heard a melodious female voice coming from Finn's villa. "Brother Finn!"

Baby Zetty's face instantly turned white as paper.

Was Brother Finn living with another girl?

Brother Finn had a girlfriend now?

Oh gosh.

Baby Zetty felt like a rumble of thunder had struck her body, scorching her wholly as she stood petrified.

Tempest looked at Baby Zetty who was beside him and sighed. "I told you not to come, but you wouldn't listen to me."

Chapter 1908

Chapter 1908

Baby Zetty broke down in tears.

She sorrowfully sat on the sofa and cried in an utterly grief-stricken manner.

Tempest pulled out some tissues and handed them to Baby Zetty while saying, "Wipe your tears. I'll tie your Brother Finn up and bring him over. You can say anything you want directly to his face." Baby Zetty took the tissues and nodded.

Tempest sighed once more and turned around to walk outside.

Baby Zetty heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

The look in her eyes became more cryptic.

Tempest went over and knocked on the front door.

Finn was wearing his home slippers when he opened the door, looking drowsy. When he saw Tempest, he said rather sourly, "What are you doing? You come home in the dead of night, making a ruckus. Now, you're preventing others from getting their sleep."

He glanced at Tammy's room inside the villa and continued, "My sleep doesn't matter as much, but Tammy has classes in the morning."

A dark look washed over Tempest's handsome face, and he spoke to Finn in a very unkind tone, "You only care about your Tammy, but what about my Baby Zetty?"

Finn chuckled and said, "Since when did Baby Zetty become yours? It's our Baby Zetty."

As soon as Finn said these words, he abruptly realized something. His expression turned dark. Then, he asked Tempest in a stirred-up manner, "Is Baby Zetty a t your place?" Tempest did not answer the question.

It could be considered as him silently acquiescing.

Finn pushed him out of the way and immediately ran into Tempest's villa.

Once he entered, he turned on all the lights inside the house.

The initially dim yellowish lights that were previously turned on immediately became dazzlingly white.

Baby Zetty was sitting on the sofa and rubbing her fingers nervously. When all the lights in the room were lit up, she was as startled as a little deer as she raised her eyes in horror to look at Finn.

Finn witnessed her flinching and restless behavior. He felt a piercing pain in his heart, and in addition to the pain, even greater astonishment followed suit.

When Finn saw the plump Baby Zetty looking inquiringly at him in such a humble manner, Finn could feel his soul being sucked out from within.

"Zetty," he called out to her in disbelief.

Baby Zetty got off the sofa and sauntered toward him. She stood in front of Finn, dodging his gaze and stuttering as she spoke.

"I'm sorry, Brother Finn. Did I disturb your sleep?"

The deliberately maintained distance she kept between them was making Finn light-headed.

Goodness, gracious! He had never dreamed that in just a couple of months, the innocent and unaffected Baby Zetty would turn so timid and humble. The pure and beautiful Baby Zetty had also become so dull and unhealthily obese.

"Baby Zetty." He squeezed her shoulders tremblingly. "Can you tell me what's going on? How did you end up like this?"

Baby Zetty felt nothing but bitter. She had become this way because of him, after all.

She initially had a bellyful of words to tell Brother Finn, but when she found out that Tammy and Finn were now living together, all of those lovesick words she had been thinking of all day and night were stuck i n her throat.

She did not want to end up becoming one of those repulsive third parties in a relationship.

She had seen people like Sera and Judy making

Mommy's life feel worse than death since she was a child. As such, Baby Zetty would hate to end up like one of those shameful people.

Therefore, she put on a brave smile and laughed mockingly at herself. "Unfortunately, I've inherited the Severe family's genetic disease. But I'm much more fortunate than my mommy since I got a binge eating disorder instead."

Finn could not help but squeeze Baby Zetty's arms. He had finally found the source of Baby Zetty's timidness.

Chapter 1909

Chapter 1909

This little lady had turned from that innocent beautiful girl into a dull and unhealthy shell. Her mind had collapsed along with her body.

Finn had no clue how to comfort Baby Zetty. He ultimately hugged her tightly and coaxed her aggrievedly, saying, "Brother Finn will help you find a cure, Zetty."

Baby Zetty's bitter tears were welling up in her eyes. "I can't be cured. The most I can do is only try to alleviate such a disease."

Her love had been buried by Finn himself with Tammy in the picture. How could her illness ever get better?

"You'll be cured. You have to be strong and learn from your mommy. She had severe depression and somatization disorder but look at her now, still standing strong and tall," Finn gently comforted Baby Zetty. Tempest was standing at the door, gloomily looking at Finn and Baby Zetty.

He wondered whether the decision he made during a moment of softheartedness would bring disastrous results or a blessing to Baby Zetty this time around?

Baby Zetty said that she wanted to confess her love for Finn again, but it seemed like she had changed her mind now. The girl's good and honest heart made him feel nothing but respect for her.

After Baby Zetty hesitated several times, she finally mustered up the courage to ask Finn, "Brother Finn, are you going to marry Sis Tammy?"

Finn patted Baby Zetty's head as sadness welled up in his eyes. He could seemingly still hear the nightmarish honks that had haunted him for so many years inside his mind...

A girl at the prime of her youth had saved him from that car accident, and Tammy had a face that resembled that beautiful girl. Finn felt that this was an opportunity from God to make atonement for his sins. Finn could only be redeemed if he was incessantly kind toward Tammy.

Hence, Finn nodded lightly. "If she wants to marry me, then I'm willing to ask for her hand in marriage."

Baby Zetty felt all of the blood inside her body freeze, and her heart began quivering in pain. She slowly pushed Finn away, restraining her tears with a smile. Suddenly, she turned her head to Tempest and said," Brother Tempest, I want to go home now."

Tempest walked over and glared at Finn with deep resentment with his eyes. Then, he unceremoniously shooed the guest away. "You may head back to your

house. I'll be sending Baby Zetty home."

Finn said, "I'll send her home."

Tempest scoffed, "No need. Go to your Tammy Sue."

Baby Zetty walked out with a silent look on her face. Her view from the back looked utterly desolated, and the child had an even more staggering pace when compared to the elderly at the moment. Finn was distressed... but Tempest was refusing to give him a chance. Very quickly, Tempest turned around and chased after Baby Zetty.

Finn felt as though all the strength in his body had been drawn out of him, leaving him muddle-headed and feeling insufferable.

When he returned to his house, he saw Tammy in her pajamas standing by the door with a doll in her arms. She was looking at Baby Zetty with a confused gaze.

"Who is she? Why are you so nervous about her?" Tammy asked in astonishment.

Finn answered, "My little sister."

Tammy was startled. "Aren't you an orphan?"

"My foster father's child."

Tammy saw the desolated and frustrated look on Finn's face and asked, "It seems like she's very precious to you?"

Finn answered, "Need you ask? The kid has been with me for many years. How could she not be precious?"

Tammy smacked her lips and said sourly, "Kids from rich families sure are lucky. Not only are they loved by their parents, but they also receive love from brothers and sisters like you. Alas, I haven't been so lucky in this area."

Tammy thought of something else and mournfully shook her head. "Forget it. People's lives can't be compared."

Finn looked at Tammy with a dark and gloomy expression, saying, "Have you lived a bad life?"

Tammy said, "My dad died early, and my mother went mad. I had an older sister in the past who helped me out with everything and my life was a little easier back then. But she..." Tammy's voice faded, and she sounded somewhat nasally.

"My sister lost her life to save a man. From then on, my young self had to bear too many responsibilities on my own." When she reached this point, Tammy suddenly smiled. "Let's not talk about it. The hard times are over. I'm quite alright now."

Finn nodded. "Once you have me around, you'll have a n even better life in the future." Tammy's face flushed at his words. "Tell me honestly, Brother Finn, do you like me?"

Finn answered, "Need you ask?"

Tammy smiled extremely bashfully, "Hahaha, I knew it."

It was just that she failed to notice how Finn was incessantly gazing out the door, looking restless.

Tempest was about to drive Baby Zetty over to Horizon Colors, but Baby Zetty insisted on another destination. "I wanna go home, Brother Tempest." Tempest realized that she must want to return to her father and mother's side. Hence, he turned around and drove toward Tourmaline Estate.

When they arrived at Tourmaline Estate, it was already five o'clock in the morning.

Baby Zetty sat in the car as if she did not intend to go down.

Tempest stared at Baby Zetty in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.

Baby Zetty was looking out the car window, unable to take her eyes off the window of Mommy and Daddy's room at Chateau de Selene.

"Can't seem to go down?" Tempest asked.

Baby Zetty gave him an irrelevant answer, "I'm sorry,

Brother Tempest. You didn't get a good night's rest today because of me. I'll be stubborn and willful this one last time. From now on, I won't be troubling you anymore."

Tempest looked at Baby Zetty confusedly... Hints of uneasiness inexplicably rose in his heart. "There's no need to be so polite to me, Baby Zetty. Even if you want to run around every single day, I'll keep you company."

Baby Zetty stopped talking at this point.

Tempest felt utterly restless. "We're home, Baby Zetty. Why don't you head home?"

Baby Zetty said, "Can we wait a while longer, Brother Tempest? My mommy's not in good health, and I don't want to disturb her sleep. I'll go in once it's daylight."

Tempest was severely shocked and moved by Baby Zetty's kindness and consideration. Such sensible and kind-hearted children were scarce nowadays.

At dawn, Baby Zetty finally got down from the car.

After walking a few steps forward, she suddenly turned back around and ran to give Tempest a big hug. "Thank you for all of your care these days, Brother Tempest." Tempest proceeded to stare at her. "What's going on with you today, kid?"

Once Baby Zetty left, Tempest could feel something was amiss. He took his phone out and sent a text

message to Jay:

[Foster Father, Baby Zetty's behaving quite abnormally today. Please pay close attention to her movements and behavior.]

Jay could feel his heart slightly sinking when he received the text message.

At this moment, there was the sound of doors being opened. Jay got up from the bed to say to Angelina," Sleep a little bit more. I'm going over to take a look. It seems like our child is back." Angelina asked him in a daze, "Which one?"

Jay kissed her forehead and said, "It seems like your baby girl is back."

Angeline immediately sat up in astonishment. Jay shook his head helplessly when he saw her reaction.

"Your children are all grown up now. You should be worrying less about them. There's no need to constantly brood over her all day long."

Angeline replied, "Don't you know that you'll never stop worrying over your children once you're a parent?"

Jay was somewhat blaming himself, saying, "Why on earth did I give you three in one go?"

Angeline chuckled and asked, "Why? Are they too many now?"

Jay replied, "Let's become a DINK family in our next

lives."

Angeline got dressed, and Jay held her hand as they went downstairs.

Baby Zetty was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Hearing Daddy's and Mommy's cheerful and harmonious voice, it seemed as if all of her worries had vanished.
