Ch. 2291..2300
Chapter 2291
On the third day of the holidays, Jenson received a text message from his roommate Quinton: [Jens, Savannah's dormitory has sent out a friendship invitation to us. What's your opinion on this? Do we accept it?]
Jenson barely gave it a thought before outright refusing it: [No.]
Quinton persuaded him patiently. [Come on, Jens. The girls are already taking the initiative to do this. If we outright reject them, it's so ungentlemanly.]
Jenson's face was extremely gloomy. [Are there any benefits to this friendship?]
Quinton replied: [Plenty. In the future, we can go out to eat, drink, and have fun in our two dormitories. It's a good balance for men and women. It's beneficial for our health.]
Jenson,
At this moment, Timothy sent a text to him as well: [ See you at the restaurant tonight, Jens. Don't let the girls wait too long. We must be gentlemen.]
Jenson sighed dejectedly.
Baby Robbie, who was playing a game on the opposite side, suddenly raised his head and asked Jenson leisurely, "What's the matter? I think this is the first time I've ever heard you sigh, Jens."
Jenson said, "My roommates and Savannah are going to hang out tonight. They asked me out for dinner."
Seeing Jenson's sorrowful expression, Baby Robbie placed the game console down, stood up, and said to Jens, "I can take your place for that dinner party, Jens." Jenson breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Nonetheless, he exhorted Baby Robbie continuously." Don't be moved by Savannah. Don't let her misunderstand anything."
Baby Robbie chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it."
Baby Robbie then went looking for Baby Zetty. He asked her, "Are you free tonight, Baby Zetty?"
Baby Zetty appeared blissful as she replied, "I'm going to the cinema with Brother Finn."
Baby Robbie said, "You can watch a movie any day. Keep your brother company tonight."
Baby Zetty asked, "What do you have in mind?"
Baby Robbie said sneakily, "I'm pretending to be Jens and attending a dinner party with his friends. If you pretend to be my girlfriend, those girls who have their eyes on Jens will certainly back off."
Baby Zetty understood the plan. "I see."
Hence, Baby Zetty canceled her plan to watch a movie with Brother Finn. After all, her time with Robbie and Jens was limited. She was also hoping that she could spend her last few days in Imperial Capital with
them. .
UMS
In the evening, Baby Robbie took Baby Zetty, who had dressed up, to attend the dinner at the restaurant.
When Jens' friends saw Baby Zetty, they were all amazed by her beauty.
Moreover, the usually cold and aloof Jenson seemed very different from before as well. The gaze he used look at Baby Zetty was incomparably gentle and sweet He was even holding her hand ima gentlemanly manner.
All of the boys envied the luck 'Jenson' had with women, while the girls were casting jealous glances at Baby Zetty.
"Come here, Jens." Savannah waved her hand at' Jenson'.
'Jenson' continued holding Baby Zetty's hand and walked over. He pulled the chair out for Baby Zetty chivalrously. Once Baby Zetty took her seat, he sat next to her. Savannah poured some water for 'Jens' and said, " Drink some water, Jens."
Baby Robbie secretly glanced over at Savannah. Seeing her thick eyebrows, big eyes, round face, and quick wits, he thought she did not look half-bad.
It was a bit too unreasonable for Jenson to hate her so much.
Baby Robbie took the water and immediately handed it to Baby Zetty. "Have a drink, baby."
Baby Zetty had goosebumps all over her body when she heard him call her in such a cheesy manner.
She secretly pinched Baby Robbie's waist and whispered, "Aren't you being too cheesy, Robbie?"
Baby Robbie said, "What do you know? Girls like cheesy boys."
Chapter 2292
Chapter 2292
Baby Zetty accepted the glass of water, took a sip in an elegant and dignified manner, and put it back on the table.
Savannah was incredibly jealous. There was a depressed look on her face.
Her dormmates enthusiastically probed the relationship between Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie. They asked Baby Zetty, "What's your name?"
"Rozie Boye."
"When did you and Jens meet?"
"Uh, we've known each other for a long time," said Baby Zetty, "We can be considered childhood sweethearts."
One of the girls looked at Baby Zetty suspiciously and asked, "Jenson usually treats girls coldly. How did you manage to pursue him?"
Baby Zetty smiled and said, "I didn't pursue him. He pursued me."
Several of the girls had a surprised look on their faces.
"That's impossible!" Savannah looked at Baby Robbie's peachy eyes and started reading his fortune. "Jens' life is filled with girls, but the girls harass him in order to pursue him." Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie looked at each other...
That did seem to be an accurate reading of Jens.
Baby Zetty looked at Savannah in astonishment. "Can you perhaps predict the future?"
Savannah nodded happily.
Baby Zetty asked, "So what does the future look like for my Jens?"
Savannah glanced at Baby Robbie shyly and said," He's destined to be my Prince Charming."
Baby Zetty was dumbfounded.
Baby Robbie spat out the water he had just drunk.
"Con-artist." He simply labeled Savannah's fortunetelling as nothing but a sham.
Nonetheless, Baby Robbie was also skilled in duping someone.
He said earnestly, "Yesterday, I went to a divination center and looked for a high-leveled diviner to undo our fate to marry. From now on, you should follow your own path while I'll walk on mine."
Savannah obviously refused to believe what Baby Robbie just said. She replied, "A fated marriage can't be so easily disregarded. A high-leveled diviner would never do things that would ruin a fated marriage."
Baby Robbie said, "I told the person
that I'd never regret this decision and I'd donate tons of money to the center. Upon hearing this, the high-leveled diviner said that such a matter shouldn't be forced anyway so she didn't mind helping me out."
After hearing this, Savannah's apricot-shaped eyes widened in shock.
"You're defying the natural order and changing heaven's will, Jens. You'll suffer heaven's wrath."
Why would Baby Robbie fear heaven's wrath? He continued, "Instead of being with the girl I don't like and living a life I dread, I'd rather face heaven's wrath." Savannah was left speechless.
Baby Robbie was only fooling
around, but Baby Zetty noticed that
Savannah was finding it hard to
Jon
take. Baby Zetty secretly tugged on the comer of Baby Robbie's clothes
бла
and said, "Girls are sensitive Don't be too harsh with your words."
Baby Robbie lowered his voice and said, "Look at how hard she's trying to deceive others. She's too shameless! Don't be deceived by her appearance."
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Savannah's dormmates tried to persuade her out of kind intentions, saying, "Savannah, since Jens doesn't have those kinds of feelings for you, just let it go." Savannah secretly glanced at Quinton, whose eyes were dark and unfathomable.
Timothy raised his glass to divert everyone's attention and resolve the awkwardness. "Come on, let's drink."
Baby Zetty lifted the glass in front of her, but Baby Bobbie domineeringly placed the glass of alcohol back on the table. He said resolutely, "What are you doing?! No alcohol!"
He was trying to be protective of her as her brother, but in the eyes of others, it appeared as if he was being protective of her as her boyfriend.
It turned out that 'Jens' loved his girlfriend so deeply. When compared to his attitude toward Savannah, there seemed to be a huge gap in terms of treatment.
When they ate, Baby Robbie was very considerate and piled food on Baby Zetty's plate. On one hand, it was part of an act. However, they were also his true intentions.
When Baby Robbie learned that
tto
Baby Zetty was about to leave Imperial Capital, he was reluctant part with his sister. He could not help but show her more concen recently so that there would be no regrets left.
Chapter 2293
Chapter 2293
Soon enough, the food on Baby Zetty's plate was piled up into a small mountain.
Baby Zetty kept giving Baby Robbie meaningful glances. "Stop it, Robbie. It's too much. Your act is getting excessive."
Baby Robbie whispered, "I'm not acting. I really do care this much about you. Whenever I think about how you're leaving Imperial Capital soon, I can't help but treat you nicely. That way, no matter how far away you are, you'll always remember my kindness."
Baby Zetty's eyes instantly turned red.
"Rest assured, I won't forget you in my entire lifetime," said Baby Zetty in a choked up manner.
The siblings ate their meal in a solemn manner that night.
Savannah said to Baby Zetty, "I won't lie to you, Miss. I just looked into your future. No matter how good your relationship is with him now, you're destined to be unable to stay together."
Baby Zetty's eyes widened in astonishment. She thought that Savannah's fortune-telling skills were simply amazing. She exclaimed excitedly, "Your predictions are incredible!"
Afraid that she would reveal something else, Baby
Robbie quickly pulled on her sleeve and Baby Zetty immediately went silent.
Baby Robbie asked Savannah, "Why can't we be together?"
Savannah replied, "Looking at this lady's appearance, it seems that she'll live a wanderer's life..." Suddenly, she thought of something else. Savannah's eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Jens, her fate is quite similar to someone else's!"
Baby Robbie asked languidly, "Whose?"
"Your sister," said Savannah.
The expression on Baby Zetty's face instantly changed. She now believed that Savannah possessed clairvoyance.
After all, Savannah's readings and predictions so far had all been accurate.
Baby Robbie had probably stayed in the military intelligence division for far too long. For someone who had always been fond of pulling out tricks, he simply did not believe in this sort of mumbo jumbo.
He was even trying to compete with Savannah in his heart, 'This quack's skills aren't as shallow as I thought. However, they still aren't enough to defeat my skills.'
Baby Robbie pretended to put on a profound look and asked, "Since you're so good at fortune-reading, then name a noble person I've met."
Savannah smiled bashfully. "The noblest ones would be your parents."
Baby Robbie sneered and said, "Who wouldn't know this?"
Savannah added, "But when you were eight years old, you met a young girl with a unisex name that matches her personality."
Was she referring to Andy?
Baby Zetty was stunned. "That's too accurate."
Baby Robbie nodded. "It's indeed a little accurate."
าวเ
Savannah Jeaned over, naturally placed her hand on Baby Robbie's shoulder, and smiled. "Do you,
believe that we're destined for each
aus
other now, Jens?"
Baby Robbie looked at her hand playfully and said, "I'll ask you one final question. If you answer it correctly this time, I'll marry you."
There was a joyous look on Savannah's face.
Baby Robbie looked at Savannah with a wicked look and said, "Guess
how many girlfriends I have now). Is
you can get it right, I'll fulfill my
promise and marry you."
Savannah was slightly stunned...
Quinton glanced at Baby Zetty and cried out, "How many girlfriends could you possibly have, Jens? Of course, it's just one!" Baby Robbie fixed his gaze on Savannah.
Savannah said, "You're lofty and unsullied. You'll never two-time anyone in your life."
Baby Robbie snapped his fingers, and Roxie suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She called out to him sweetly, "Jens..." Baby Zetty was dumbfounded.
It turned out Baby Robbie had not
3phsked her to pretend to be his from their other sister??? but requested the t
as well.
Savannah's expression turned incredibly dark.
"If you have two girlfriends, aren't you afraid they'll be jealous of each other?" Savannah asked.
Chapter 2294
Chapter 2294
Baby Robbie said, "Who said that I only have two girlfriends? I'm a person who embraces joy and pleasure every day of my flourishing life. When it comes to girlfriends, the more the merrier." Afterward, he clapped his hands, and a group of valiant and formidable-looking girls stepped out." dens!"
They seemed to get along well and were not jealous of each other at all.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. Timothy said with much envy and hatred, "All of your girlfriends are beyond stunning, Jens. Where did you meet them?"
Baby Robbie embraced the sisters uninhibitedly and said, "I paid a big price to get these girls."
It took countless battles and sacrifices before he could receive his sisters' sincere care.
Savannah questioned him, "Are they all your girlfriends, dens?"
Baby Robbie looked at the sisters. They were being extremely cooperative and said, "We're all his girlfriends."
Savannah's face appeared frustrated.
Baby Robbie proudly said, "I'm quite picky with choosing my girlfriends. She has to be prettier than
Thirteen, more valiant than Andy, and much gentler and more considerate than Roxie... I'm telling you, Savannah, just give up. I'll never come to like an ordinary girl like you."
Savannah bit her lip and said with a firm face, "But I'm the girl destined for you."
Baby Robbie took out a silver coin from his pocket and gently spun it on the table. He then looked at Savannah before saying, "If you can tell me what are the images on the lighter-colored side and darker- colored side of this coin, I'll fulfill my promise and make you my wife."
Savannah squinted her eyes while looking at the rapidly spinning coin. When she closed her eyes and opened them again, her eyes were radiant.
"The darker-colored side has poppies and the lightercolored side has a cobra."
Baby Robbie slammed his hand on the table and held onto the coin.
Everyone quietly looked at Baby Robbie's beautiful hand, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Roxie and the others were somewhat panicking. They had seen this coin before and Savannah got it right.
Baby Robbie chuckled and opened his hand. It was revealed that the coin had a cobra on the darker-colored side and poppies on the lighter-colored side.
Baby Robbie said, "See, you've
gotten it wrong. Hence, we're not destined for each other after all. There's no need for you to be so bothered by this fact. Everything is unpredictable."
Savannah appeared utterly defeated.
Baby Robbie pulled his sisters and left while chuckling.
"How'd you change the images on your coin, Robbie?" Baby Zetty asked curiously when they got out of the restaurant.
Baby Robbie untied his pouch and took out the scepter inside, saying, "This scepter was trembling just now That Savannah girl is by no means an ordinary person."
Baby Zetty said, "Everything she said paid scrupulous attention to detail. Perhaps her readings and predictions are all true?"
Baby Robbie patted Baby Zetty on
the shoulder and said with a smile, "She's just playing God. You have to remember this, Zetty, humam wisdom can prevail over nature."
This sentence alone made Baby Zetty infinite times more confident.
"I understand," said Baby Zetty.
Baby Robbie said, "Let's head back. Jens is probably waiting to hear from me."
The sisters rarely returned to Imperial Capital, so they were looking forward to walking around the city.
Roxie suggested, "Let's head to the mall and buy some makeup."
Baby Zetty said, "You girls go ahead. I'll accompany Robbie home."
Hence, Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty returned to Tourmaline Estate.
Meanwhile, the other sisters went to the mall.
When Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie passed through the dense green forest of Tourmaline Estate, they ran into Zayne and Emmy.
Chapter 2295
Chapter 2295
The dense and verdant forest hid the narrow path. Since no one usually walked on this road, the place looked secluded and the greenery was overgrown.
Had it not been for the swaying leaves, Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty would not have noticed Zayne and Emmy whispering on the forest path.
"Zaynie, I know that it's not right for me to fall in love with you. You and I are both people with families and we should be loyal to them. But I can't stop myself from liking you. When I don't see you for even a day, I feel as though I've lost my soul. The longing I feel for you is extremely tormenting. That's why I mustered up the courage to come look for you today. I must've gone crazy for coming to Tourmaline Estate to look for you. This is too bold of me. Did I scare you?" Emmy's voice revealed too much of her sentiments. It was mixed with the pain of her indecision.
Zayne was at a loss when faced with the passionate Emmy. He said incoherently, "Emmy, nothing good will come out of this. If we're discovered, our reputations will be ruined. When the time comes, we'll be detested by everyone and have to live in shame. I think neither you nor I can afford such consequences."
"Are you scared now, Zaynie?" Emmy asked.
Zayne said, "You've become infatuated, so I must ask you to calm down. My Josie isn't the young lady of an
ordinary household. She's the young lady of the Ares family, the sister of the mighty Sir Ares. If we do anything to wrong her, Sir Ares won't spare us."
"But, isn't your sister Sir Ares' wife? I heard that Sir Ares dotes on his wife, so he'll never make things difficult for you. There's no right or wrong when it comes to love, Zaynie."
Zayne smiled weakly and said, "Emmy, I think I have to confess to you that my relationship with Josie isn't that bad. I've been thinking a lot these days. She and I started out so strong. Although our relationship has plateaued, perhaps it isn't because of Josie. Maybe this is a process that every couple has to go through. Perhaps we have to learn to be content with mediocrity."
Emmy looked at Zayne in disbelief. "So are you saying that you're unwilling to separate from her to be with me, Zaynie?"
Zaynie nodded and said, "I'm sorry, Emmy. I've finally sobered up now. I thought about how Josie has chosen me regardless of everything and how I used to love her so desperately. If even such a relationship fails despite it being so perfect, then our relationship is bound to fail even sooner since it didn't start from a good place."
Emmy said tearfully, "I understand, Zaynie. I wish you happiness."
Emmy left the place in despair.
Zayne watched her leave in
frustration. Ultimately, he could not bear to watch Emmy leave in such a desperate state of mind and chased after her.
"I'll see you out," said Zayne.
Baby Ze tty and Baby Robbie looked over at Zayne and Emmy who were walking farther away. They then walked out of the bushes.
Baby Robbie said, "It's a good thing that Uncle came back to his senses in the nick of time."
Baby Zetty shook her head and said,
"I just hope that Aunt Josie me
finds out about Uncle being unfaithful, or she'll never be happy again in this lifetime."
Baby Robbie looked at Baby Zetty from the side. "Is it that serious?"
Baby Zetty said, "Don't you know that women require their men to be loyal in relationships?"
Baby Robbie thought for a while and muttered, "It seems I'll be better off single."
Baby Zetty stared at Baby Robbie in a daze before asking an unexpected question, "Robbie, among all of our sisters, I think all of them seem to I
like you. I wonder which sister you like most?"
Chapter 2296
Chapter 2296
Baby Robbie said, "They're all of equal importance to me. I can't favor one and discriminate against the other."
Baby Zetty teased her brother, saying, "Could it be that you're trying to imitate ancient sovereigns? Are you trying to treat all of your mistresses equally?" Baby Robbie said, "If I lay a finger on our sisters, I'm afraid even Daddy won't let me off the hook."
Beyond his seemingly mischievous jokes, there was a n indifferent look in his eyes. It seemed as if he had no expectations nor longing toward love.
"Who do you like, Robbie? I'm leaving soon, so you ought to at least tell me something. I'd like to know who'll be my sister-in-law in the future," said Baby Zetty coquettishly as she shook Baby Robbie's arm. Baby Robbie began to stare at Baby Zetty. He thought about his sister leaving Imperial Capital soon. They were running out of time to have such talks. Hence, Baby Robbie opened up his heart and said to Baby Zetty, "Among all of the sisters, the one I love most is surely my triplet little sister. You. We're related by blood and were bonded to each other from the day we were born. This is something that no one can change."
"Thank you, Robbie," said Baby Zetty.
"However, the other sisters have accompanied me through so many difficult times, and I also have a
deep friendship with all of them. As we grew up together, I started feeling their love for me. But I'd never choose one of them, because choosing one will end up hurting the other sisters. Besides..."
Baby Bobbie's expression dimmed slightly. "I think I won't be falling for any girl in this lifetime. There's a high chance that I won't get married."
It was because the girl who could move his heart no longer existed in this world.
Baby Zetty appeared sorrowful as she mournfully said, "Why do you always have such weird thoughts, Robbie?"
Baby Robbie said, "I just prefer to dedicate myself to something more meaningful."
Baby Zetty was dumbfounded.
When the two returned to Tourmaline Estate, they saw Jenson leaning against the door, seemingly having waited for a long time.
Seeing Baby Robbie's return, Jenson immediately trotted over.
"Robbie, the events that happened tonight have been exposed. Daddy and Mommy are inside losing their tempers over it. Quick, think of an excuse," Jenson exhorted.
Baby Robbie was astonished by this. "How did they find out?"
Jenson said with a sullen face, "You made me have so many beautiful and charming girlfriends. My name became a trending hashtag on Twitter!"
Baby Robbie smiled awkwardly.
The lofty and unsullied Jenson
certainly would not accept the label
of a scumbag. Baby Robbie cautiously explained to Jenson, "I was just making our sisters pretend
to be my girlfriend, Jens. tend
should've seen the look on
Savannah's face. I think she'll avoid you for the rest of her life out of fear
at this point."
Jenson was not afraid of people slandering him behind his back. He was even secretly relieved to find out that Baby Robbie had figured out a way to shake Savannah off. "You still have to think of a way to deal with Mommy and Daddy."
Baby Robbie lowered his head while walking into the living room. Meanwhile, Angeline and Jay were sitting side by side on the sofa, looking at him as if they were tigers coveting for prey.
"Tell us, Baby Robbie. What's going on with you and your girlfriend number one, two, three, four, five, six, seven..." Angeline said in exasperation.
"Who gave you the permission to make Mommy angry, Baby Robbie?" Sir Ares' focus was slightly different from Angeline's.
Baby Robbie scratched the back of his head and explained with a quivering voice, "They're not my girlfriends, Mommy."
Angeline became even more furious.
"Not your girlfriends? So you're
merely toying with their feelings? Is
there a difference between you and any other scumbags in the world, then?"
Baby Robbie said, "Mommy, they're the sisters..."
"What?! How dare you covet your sisters?!"
Baby Robbie's confessions under pressure were merely deepening Angeline's misunderstandings.
Chapter 2297
Chapter 2297
Angeline slammed the table angrily and reprimanded Baby Robbie, "Kneel!"
Baby Robbie quickly knelt on the floor.
Angeline was utterly furious. She pointed at Baby Robbie and yelled, "I allowed you to go to a military academy in hopes that you'd serve our country. Yet you merely have girls in your head? Even if you want t o start dating, you should be more earnest about it. But you're out there looking for a bunch of girlfriends instead. You truly do think of yourself as some sort of ancient monarch, do you? You want to have chambers of beautiful girls waiting around for you, huh? I... I truly can't..."
Seeing that Angeline was genuinely furious, Baby Robbie quickly explained, "You've misunderstood me, Mommy. I'm not dating anyone. Those girls are just the sisters pretending to be my girlfriends. My intention of pretending to be a scumbag is just to help Jens in driving that Savannah girl away..."
Angeline was dumbfounded.
She cast a suspicious glance at Jens and smacked her forehead while complaining to Sir Ares, "Oh my God, Jaybie. They were born from the same womb but how are they so different? One's completely lacking in common sense, while the other is a player."
Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at their mom in a daze.
Baby Robbie pointed to Jenson and tried explaining for him with a cheeky smile, "Mommy, Jens is not that lacking in common sense. He just doesn't like girls like Savannah."
Jenson pointed at Baby Robbie and said, "He's not a player either. He's a celibatarian."
Angeline was dumbfounded once more and said," Does it make a difference?"
It was just that their characters were swapped.
Jenson and Baby Robbie realized that they might have said too much. They simply kept their mouths shut from then on.
Angeline continued to babble on and on about the concept of falling in love normally to her sons. She said that they should have a single partner for life. Then, she returned to the bedroom to rest after getting persuaded by Sir Ares.
As soon as Angeline left, Jenson and Baby Robbie breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Jay looked at them solemnly and started a new round of questioning. This time around, it had nothing to do with love.
"Think long and hard about it. How did your private lives become a trending hashtag so quickly?" Jay reminded his two sons.
Baby Robbie thought for a while and said, "It must've been the classmates who ate with me tonight. They're probably the ones who revealed it."
Jenson said, "My roommates aren't the gossiping type, and the girls in Savannah's dorm don't seem to have good family backgrounds, so they don't exactly have what it takes to make my name trend on social media."
Sir Ares nodded. "I'm also
suspecting that someone
deliberately made Jens trend on social media in order to destroy his reputation. Fortunately, all the girls who attended tonight's dinner are the Ares family's daughters, so it's very easy to clarify this
misunderstanding. But..."
Sir Ares turned the thread of
discussion around. "Jens, after you started running Grand Asia, you've made several big moves in a row, which not only affected the competitors' livelihoods but also bankrupted our enemies. I don't think they would resign to their fate and wait to be emancipated. You should pay more attention to the people around you and be more aware."
After Sir Ares was done talking, he glanced upstairs and got up to look for his wife.
Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at each other. Jenson said, "It seems like I'm also plagued with bad elements."
Baby Robbie was not worried about Jens' safety at all. In his eyes, Jens was the smartest person in the world.
None of these difficulties could stop him.
Baby Robbie pulled Jens' hand and dragged him out while saying, "You can take your time in cleaning up those bad elements around you, Jens. But for now, I have to take you somewhere." "Where are we headed?" Jenson looked at the sneaky Baby Robbie.
"Aunt Emmy came looking for Uncle Zayne tonight. Although Uncle Zayne rejected her, Uncle still went along to see her off when she wanted to leave. I was panicking in my heart. Aunt Josie has been nothing but kind to us, so we have to help her protect her love, don't you think?" said Baby Robbie.
Chapter 2298
Chapter 2298
Jenson frowned and sighed slightly at Zayne's behavior in courting death.
Baby Robbie dragged Jenson to Josie's Flying Moon Cottage. Before stepping into the courtyard gate of the villa, they happened to hear Josie's frustrated voice from a distance. "Damn it, Zayne Severe! I merely asked him to go get some formula but he disappeared for the whole day! Where on earth is that guy?!"
Jenson and Baby Robbie glanced at each other. Baby Robbie said tremblingly, "If Uncle Zayne doesn't cut ties with Aunt Emmy once and for all, I'm truly afraid of Aunt Josie discovering their adultery. When that time comes, a violent storm will take over Flying Moon Cottage."
Jenson said, "Follow me. We'll drag him back."
Jenson and Baby Robbie drove a sports car and quickly left Tourmaline Estate.
Baby Robbie called Zayne, asking, "Uncle, where are you?"
Zayne's overwhelmingly exhausted voice came through. "I'm out buying diapers. Our little Joseph's a little allergic to formula, so your Aunt Josie told me to choose wisely-"
Baby Robbie immediately interrupted him. "Stop lying. It's so quiet on your end. It doesn't seem like
you're inside a department store at all. Is Aunt Emmy still with you?"
Zayne was so scared that his phone almost fell from his hand. He said while quivering, "Stop talking nonsense, Baby Robbie..."
Baby Robbie said, "I saw the two of you talking in the bamboo forest of Tourmaline Estate just now."
Zayne's complexion immediately turned ashen.
It took him quite some time to relax. "Baby Robbie, does your... aunt know about this?"
Baby Robbie said, "She doesn't know at the moment, but she'll know soon enough."
Zayne became too scared to speak. "I've always treated you kindly, right, Baby Robbie? You can't stab your uncle in the back. If you tell your aunt about this, it'll be akin to killing me." Baby Robbie said, "Where are you? Let's talk."
Zayne spoke up in frustration, "I'm at the East Reservoir."
Jenson hurriedly stepped on the gas and the sports car soon stopped in front of Zayne and Emmy.
Seeing Zayne and Emmy standing side by side, Baby Robbie smacked his forehead while asking, "Are you still longing for Aunt Emmy after parting from her, Uncle Zayne?"
Baby Robbie was very kind to everyone. It was not
that he was friendly and tolerant to everyone. It was just that the years of being in the military intelligence division had made him become accustomed to disguising his true temperament.
However, Jenson was blunt and
would display all of his contempt on
his face. He coldly reminded Baby
Robbie. "She's nothing but a
mistress who destroys other
people's families. She's not worthy
to be considered your aunt."
Emmy's expression instantly turned distorted.
Zayne began to reprimand Jens, "Is that how you're supposed to speak, Jens? She's still your elder."
Jenson scoffed. "An elder who doesn't have a sense of propriety, justice, integrity, or honor."
Emmy was so anxious that tears started welling up in her eyes.
Zayne felt distressed for Emmy and scolded Jens furiously, "I disallow you from making your Aunt Emmy angry."
Jens said, "Why? Are you trying to raise her status from mistress to legally wedded wife?"
Jenson remained silent.
Emmy spoke up, "Don't
misunderstand your uncle. He's not
as evil as you think he is. After so long, he's never done anything sorry to your aunt. It's merely me and my wishful thinking. I'm the one who continues to pester him. I can feel that he and your aunt are
unhappy together, so I thought I could save him."
Jenson rolled his eyes at her. "Do you think you're some sort of savior?"
Jenson snarled at Zayne in a fit of
pique. "As a man, you choose to
retreat when you encounter setbacks and difficulties instead of facing said difficulties and solving the problems. Aunt Josie must be extremely blind to love you."
Chapter 2299
Chapter 2299
Zayne lowered his head, and his complexion turned extremely ashen.
Jenson said, "What on earth are you thinking? Are you going to be with her without any second thoughts or are you severing your ties with her and returning to your family?"
A pained look flashed across Zayne's eyes. He looked a t Emmy guiltily and said, "We're no longer children, Emmy. We still have responsibilities on our shoulders. We can't be willful. You should forget about me from now on."
Suddenly, Emmy staggered forward. She pulled
Zayne's hand tightly and said with a weep, "Please, don't leave me, Zaynie. I really do love you. I don't care whether you succeed in your business or whether you have a luxury car. I only love you."
Zayne's resolve to turn around crumbled because of Emmy's words.
His eyes were welling up with tears.
Emmy suddenly held onto him while crying like a child. "Just divorce her, Zaynie. Let's get married, okay? I promise never to give you any dirty looks, and I'll never dislike you for your mediocrity. We'll respect each other forever."
Baby Robbie stared at them and murmured, "It's
indeed quite hard to choose. One's a gentle and caring young flower, while the other is simply a muse."
Jenson said, "What's so hard about it? Humans aren't some primitive beings that live on unadulterated emotions all their lives. Humans are complex social animals. To be recognized by society, they must have a correct outlook on the world and a noble character."
His cold words directed at Zayne and Emmy made them feel ashamed. They were unable to show their faces.
Jenson rolled his eyes at Zayne. Seeing how hard of a time he was having trying to separate from Emmy, Jenson yelled, "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance, Uncle. You have to give me an answer in half a day. If you go with her, I'll head home immediately and tell Aunt Josie all about it. I'll never allow her to continue to be deceived by you people."
Zayne pleaded, "Will you please be more humane, Jens? Can't you give me two more days?"
Jens said, "The more I do that, the greater your mistakes will be and the greater harm it'll cause Aunt Josie. I'm trying to save you here, so don't take my kindness for granted."
Zayne loosened Emmy's grasp and finally looked at her. He resolutely said, "Forget about me, Emmy. From now on, just treat me as a passerby."
After speaking, Zayne left with determination.
Baby Robbie proceeded to stop Zayne by shouting,"
Uncle, Aunt Josie sent you out on an errand to get formula. If you go home empty-handed, you'll surely get a scolding."
Emmy stood there in a daze and whispered tearfully, "I f she starts scolding you, Zaynie, don't say anything."
Zayne nodded at her.
Jens pulled Zayne into the sports car and drove him to the department store to quickly buy some formula before speeding back home.
When Josie saw Zayne, she instantly
turned into a shrewish wife who henpecked her husband. "I sent you out to buy formula yet you were gone the entire afternoon?! Where on earth did you go fooling around, Zayne Severe?!"
Zayne sat on the sofa, depressed. He turned a deaf ear t o Josie's roars.
Josie snarled a couple more times, but seeing Zayne's lowered head and how he was not responding, she furiously left with reddened eyes.
Jenson and Baby Robbie stood at the door, at a loss. Baby Robbie decided to advise Zayne, "Uncle, Aunt Josie is about to cry. Go over and coax her."
Zayne scoffed. "She's crying? A
person like her never takes into consideration other people's feelings. All she does is vent out her frustrations to her heart's content. Why on earth is she the one crying?"
Josie suddenly ran down the stairs and roared out with a flushed pair of eyes, "Do you really think that I like to rage at you so ungracefully out of nowhere, Zayne?! You've completely turned a deaf ear to everything I say, and you live like an invisible person i n front of me. I'm merely trying to get your attention!"

Zayne looked at the hysteric Josie. Upon seeing her hideous, distorted face due to anger, Zayne's love for her suddenly dwindled. He weakly said, "I don't want to fight with you."
His indifferent attitude was causing Josie to crumble even more. She said in exasperation, "Why don't you want to fight? You've become so unfamiliar to me now, Zayne. You don't see how much I've suffered, and you can't see my tolerance for you. The only thing you notice is my negative emotions from being exhausted by life. I truly didn't expect that we'd come to the point where there was nothing to say between us."
Josie's tears were brimming in her eyes. When she was saying this, her body even began to tremble. She became so anxious and even blurted out, "Are you no longer in love with me?" Zayne did not speak.
Josie looked at him in disbelief. His silence had driven her into an ice cellar.
Josie burst into tears, and she was choked up while saying, "I thought that no matter how much I quarrel with you or nag at you, with our unswerving feelings, you'd never get tired of me. It turns out that I was wrong. I'm not Sis Angeline, after all. I'm not as lucky as her to have met Jay who loves her without a bottom
line."
When Josie was done speaking, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand. Then, she fixed her gaze on Zayne with a coercing look in her eyes.
"Look into my eyes, Zayne Severe. I want you to tell me whether or not you still love me. As long as you're able to tell me that you no longer love me, I'll let you fly high and free from now on."
Zayne drooped his head and said with a grimace, "I don't know."
Josie trembled and smiled bitterly. "You don't know? Hah. I'm your wife. You once said that you love me, but now you don't know?"
Josie wiped her tears away and forced a staunch expression. "Then do you want a divorce?"
Zayne seemed to have been stung by a hornet. He trembled, and panic flashed in his eyes. He quickly shook his head and said, "I don't want to divorce you, Josie."
Josie said, "I'll make my stance
known, Zayne love you, I love you very much. But I'll not humbly accept a one-sided-relationship just because love you. So if you don't love me, don't force yourself. I Can let you go. As for our assets 'll split them in half with you. As for our child, I don't want him to grow up in a singleparent family, so we can share custody of him."
Zayne's eyes flashed brightly in disbelief. "Will you really agree to share custody of Joseph?"
Josie saw the sparkle in his eyes. At that moment, her heart seemed to have been cut by a knife.
She nodded and said, "Let me know once you've thought it through."
Then, Josie left in disappointment and frustration.
Jenson, who was by the door, knew that this turn of events was anything but reassuring.
The price to pay for this divorce was small. He was afraid that Uncle Zayne would be willing to take the risk out of desperation.
Just as expected, Zayne walked and pleaded with Jenson and Robbie in a low voice, "See?
aunt who wants a divorcee
Baby Robbie said, "Your heart's not even here, so of course, Aunt Josie is sad. She was forced to bring up divorce."
Zayne said, "If she's able to bring up a divorce so easily and let me go, does she even love me?"
Jenson stared at Zayne coldly and asked him, "Do you really want to get a divorce?"
Zayne replied, "It's not up to me whether I want to get a divorce. It's your aunt who wants one."
After Zayne spat out these words, he left furiously.
Baby Robbie became anxious. "What do we do now? Are we truly going to look on helplessly while they get a divorce?"
The look in Jenson's eyes became
more profound as he said, "He's
