Chapter 2431

"From today onward, the group of you are no longer the brutal gangsters of the military intelligence division who kill innocent people. You're the guardians of Cathay Continent. Your division originally had 13 sisters, and the superiors have heard of your heroic stories. Although three of your outstanding agents have sacrificed their lives, we won't break you girls apart. From now on, you'll be named Thirteen Ares Wind."

When Andy heard the good news, she cried out with tears of joy.

Although three of them were sacrificed earlier on, in the remaining sisters' eyes, those three would always live in their hearts.

Now that they could fight together with their title, that was the greatest comfort to them.

"Listen up, Thirteen Wind," the commander suddenly gave a powerful command.

"Yes, sir!" the sisters yelled, filled with noble aspiration.

"Mysterious monsters have recently appeared in Yorks Stronghold in the north, killing countless creatures. The superior will hand you the task of killing those monsters. Now, you'll rush to Yorks Stronghold in the north, where our people will

connect with you. You'll be provided with the guns and ammunition you need. Remember, if you can catch a monster alive, kill it. Unless it's your last resort, you can't willfully slaughter the innocent. You can't let yourself be killed or kill the innocent."

"Yes."

The sisters looked more comfortable now. It was because of the commander's order not to kill the innocent.

It was opposite from the instructions they usually received in the military intelligence division. They were told that their lives outweighed all, so as long as they could stay alive, they should do whatever possible Although not being able to kill the innocent would make their missions even riskier, they were still very happy in their hearts. After all, Robbie's final wish was to uphold justice. He was able to sacrifice himself for justice, so they were ready to sacrifice themselves a t any time to fulfill Robbie's last wish.

"Take your tokens and go."

Andy solemnly accepted their new tokens.

Then, they came over to Robbie's dormitory with a heavy heart. They solemnly packed up all of Robbie's belongings, including his clothes and a camouflage human skin mask. There seemed to be nothing else.

Robbie was different from other

agents who cherished their lives. He

never carried those adept secret weapons to preserve his own life. Robbie had always been upright, so he did not like the idea of keeping lethal weapons.

He just kept some simple clothes and a mask. It made their image of Robbie incomparably radiant. The sisters suddenly let down their defenses and burst into tears.

In the ruins of the small building that

day, they could not find Robbie's body from the hundreds of corpses. When they left, they only grabbed a handful of dust. Now that they were holding onto Robbie's clothes, they felt the deep bond they shared with Robbie even more. They could no longer hold themselves back and hugged each other while they cried.

They wailed until their voices turned hoarse.

Robbie's roommate looked at them with reddened eyes.

He kindly comforted Andy and the

าวนะ

others, "Hey, stop crying now. If Robert were here, he certainly wouldn't want you girls to cry for him. He said that the purpose of his life is to protect you well. He said that you're all paper tigers. You girls look fiercer than a tigress, but i n fact, each of you is terribly fragile."

The sisters were even more troubled.

It was a pity that the Robbie who would always protect them could no longer come back to them.

They became even more dejected.

"Robbie." "Sigh."

In the end, they cried until their throats were hoarse and their eyes were swollen.

The sisters comforted each other. "Let's stop crying. It hasn't even been a week since his passing. Let's not let him see this."

"Mm."

Chapter 2432

Imperial Capital.

Savannah was miserable and wandered aimlessly on the streets of Imperial Capital. She did not know what her future held.

When she went down the mountain back then, her master had told her that her mission in this life was to pursue and protect Robbie.

However, why did Robbie die an untimely death?

What should she do next?

Suddenly, someone lightly tapped on Savannah's shoulder.

"Silly girl."

Savannah turned around and saw her master standing in front of her while holding a heavy black umbrella in one hand. Savannah plunged into her arms and started crying.

"Master, Robbie's dead. Boo-hoo. How could he? I obviously liked Jens first, and I disliked Robbie's playboy-like appearance. But then I really fell in love with him. How could he die just like that? I feel so sad, Master. Is it always this painful to love someone?"

Savannah's master was a very beautiful woman. Although she was young, the vicissitudes in her eyes were not comparable to many old people. Plus, her

skin was exceedingly fair.

She patted Savannah's back and comforted her gently and lovingly. "Although he's been robbed from you, he might not necessarily be dead."

Savannah raised her head. "He's not dead, Master?"

Then, she burst into tears and laughed. "I knew it. I gave him so many readings, and he'd always turn bad luck into good luck. How could he have died so easily?"

Her master sternly scolded Savannah, "Savannah, when you went down the mountain this time, you revealed too many secrets. Do you know that it'll damage your virtue?" Savannah said, "I'll stop doing that, Master."

Her master sighed. "Hmm."

Then, she added, "Savannah, I have to head to the Ares family and handle something for Robbie. You know the Ares family, so introduce them to me."

"Okay." Savannah agreed happily.

In the evening, Savannah brought her master to the Ares household.

When the housekeeper told Sir Ares that Savannah's master had come to see him, Jay was slightly surprised.

He thought for a moment and said, "Let her come in."

The butler turned around and went out.

Soon, the housekeeper brought Savannah and her master into the main hall.

"Please take a seat." Jay's voice was a little hoarse, and his expression was slightly haggard. He, who had just experienced the pain of losing his son, did not seem to have recovered just yet. "Sir Ares, I'm a priestess from East Mountain, Priestess Zyda."

Sir Ares pondered her title and thought it was strange, but he calmly said, "I wonder why you're here, Priestess?"

Priestess Zyda said, "I'm here to exorcise Robbie's soul."

Jay was shocked. "What did you say? I've only heard of conjuring spirits for the dead, but you want to exercise him? Did you know that my wife is bedridden from missing this child?"

Priestess Zyda said, "Don't get me wrong, Sir Ares. If it's a conjuring perhaps you can meet him for a moment. But exorcism will allow him to gain the third kind of opportunity to live again."

"The third kind? What is that?"

"Mysteries of heaven must not be revealed."

Sir Ares was silent.

He looked at Zyda with a sharp gaze and saw that she was exceptionally young. She had a delicate face and looked to be about 20 years

her body was exuding with

velout

vicissitudes that did not match her age Jay knew that this was a woman with a story.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Sir Ares, please hand over the python to Jenson. Jenson and Robbie shared the same placenta.

Jenson's five elements can support

the python. Half a month later, ask

Jenson to take the python to Yorks Stronghold in the north. If he encounters a python, just use the

token to subdue it. Then, Robbie will

come back."

Chapter 2433

Chapter 2433

Jay was astonished by Zyda's words.

The woman in front of him looked so young, but she actually knew about Robbie's python. Zyda even knew that Jens and Robbie shared the same placenta. She seemed to know everything about the Ares family.

Who on earth was she?

Jay looked at the woman again.

The woman's temperament was very quiet and extraordinary. Although there were vicissitudes in her eyes, her calm aura made Jay speculate that she was by no means an ordinary person.

Only people with extraordinary abilities could be so calm in the face of life's ups and downs.

"How can I trust you?" Jay said faintly.

Priestess Zyda took out the neatly packed python from her pocket and handed it to Jay.

Jay opened the package layer upon layer. Seeing the beautiful hibiscus flowers embroidered on the exquisite cloth, the cold light in Jay's eyes eased slightly.

Hibiscus, huh? In the language of flowers, it meant persistence. At least this proved that this woman was a tough one.

Jay admired those who had perseverance.

When the cloth was opened up, Jay was surprised when he saw the python.

He thought that Robbie had died in that bombing incident and was not even left with a corpse. Hence, he thought the python Robbie carried with him had also been wiped out. Priestess Zyda seemed to see his doubts and explained, "I'll not harm him, Sir Ares."

Jay looked at the woman's face. When she said these words, in addition to sadness, her beautiful eyes contained a touch of firmness.

Jay had seen countless people. He believed that these gentle and benevolent eyes would not lie. He nodded and said, "In any case, thank you for doing this for my Robbie."

He gently stroked the python, and the cold man's eyes turned red at that moment.

Priestess Zyda noticed that he was desperately enduring the pain of missing his son and made the wise choice to leave.

When she walked to the door, she looked up at the sky above Tourmaline Estate and frowned.

She suddenly turned back and said to Jay, "There's a variant in your household, Sir Ares. Be careful."

Jay raised his head in astonishment.

Then, Priestess Zyda walked away in graceful steps.

Jay's eyes swept over her feet.

Although she looked weak, he didet not expect her to walk with a v

g and heroic aura. Convet

This made Jay suddenly think of his heroic adopted daughters.

After Priestess Zyda left, Jay fell into a moment of daze.

A variant inside their house?

He walked out of the door, came to the courtyard, and looked around.

Nonetheless, the place was quiet, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Angel and Joseph were enjoying themselves in the corner.

Jay's eyes sank. Day by day as Angel grew up, she seemed to be more and more different from ordinary children.

She matured early and completed

her elementary school work ahead of schedule. Perhaps, if she did not deliberately cover up her skills, she could be even smarter.

Angel being this way was completely unchildlike of her.

"Daddy!"

Just when Jay was deep in his thoughts, the little munchkin suddenly dashed over and flew into his

arms.

"Daddy." Angel acted spoiled in his arms. She had a bright smile. She was so innocent and naive.

Jay picked her up, and his fatherly

love made him willing to never look

into

her bizarreness. He just wanted to protect her forever.

"Look, Daddy, a four-leaf clover for you and Mommy."

Angel placed the four-leaf clover in Jay's palm before giggling.

Jay poked her nose and said, "You should deliver it to Mommy yourself. Mommy will be very happy."

Angel nodded in a lively manner. “Mmhmm."

At this time, Grayson suddenly came running in a panic.

"It's bad, Sir. There's been an accident in Yorks

Stronghold."

Chapter 2434

Chapter 2434

Jay frowned and reprimanded Grayson in a cold voice, "How old do you think you are? Why are you so panicked?"

Grayson rubbed his ears and laughed awkwardly.

After laughing a little, he roared anxiously, "Monsters have started appearing in Yorks Stronghold, Master. I heard that many creatures in Yorks Stronghold have been killed. Many of the villagers' lives are in danger."

Jay's heart immediately sank. He thought of Priestess Zyda from earlier and thought how bizarre things were. That priestess knew things about Yorks Stronghold as well?

She truly had divine powers.

"Do the Yorks know about this?" Jay asked.

Grayson said, "Your cousin Cole and Madam's sister have recently gone on a trip with their kid, so he probably doesn't know the news. Grand Old Master Yorks has been in bad health recently, so he can't really do much. As for your uncle, it's not like you don't know he's merely a rough man with mediocre abilities. He probably won't be able to do anything about this either."

Jay knocked on Grayson's head and said, "According to what you said, shouldn't you be advising the Yorks since such a big thing has happened in Yorks

Stronghold? Don't forget that they're the owners of Yorks Stronghold. They were born and raised there for many years. They're most familiar with the geography and landforms of Yorks Stronghold. There's a saying that goes, 'Even a powerful mob boss can't suppress the local tyrants'. So, leave this matter to the Yorks."

Grayson replied, "Oh."

Grayson quickly turned and left.

Jay suddenly thought of something and stopped him." Grayson."

Grayson ran back and said, "Is there anything else, Master?"

Jay looked around the gloomy surroundings and said faintly, "Priestess Zyda said that a foreign spirit has visited Tourmaline Estate. Go and prepare something that can be offered to it. Tonight, we'll invite this variant to be a guest at our home."

Grayson swallowed his saliva. "You don't have a fever, do you, Sir?"

Jay's handsome face sank. "What do you think?"

Grayson said, "Sir, you've never believed in this sort of thing before."

Jay said, "The older I get, the more extensive my knowledge becomes. There are always things that go beyond my comprehension. I've gradually started believing."

Grayson nodded. "Alright."

The Yorks family's villa.

When Grayson came to visit, Grand Old Master Yorks was sitting on the chair in the courtyard, rocking leisurely Seeing Grayson, the old man was in a good mood and teased him a few times. "Grayson, why didn't your foster father come with you? He hasn't he come to terms with Robbie's death?"

Grayson said, "Grand Old Master, since Robbie's demise, Tourmaline Estate has been in a state of misery."

Grand Old Master Yorks' bright expression became filled with dull sadness. "Sigh. Robbie, that kid. What a pity."

Grayson cut straight to the chase. "I'm here today because I have something important to report to you, Grand Old Master."

"Do tell."

"Yorks Stronghold is being overrun by monsters and they've killed many villagers, When Grayson said this, he stared straight at the old man, thinking that maybe the old man might know something.

The old man was silent for a moment, then looked at Grayson in astonishment. "Such a thing is happening here?"

Grayson had been trained for so long. The momentary silence from the old man showed that he was clearly not surprised by the appearance of the monsters.

"Grand Old Master, Sir Ares said that the Yorks are the owners of Yorks Stronghold, so you have an inescapable responsibility toward the stronghold.

Hence, Sir Ares hopes that the Yorks can take on the obligation to eliminate these monsters."

Grand Old Master Yorks waved his hand and said," We've handed the python emblem to Robbie, who's the new leader of Yorks Stronghold. Although Robbie is no longer with us, whoever has the python will be the owner of Yorks Stronghold. Only hecan order the guards of Yorks Stronghold to march."

Chapter 2435 Chapter 2435 Grayson looked at the old man's aged face and could sense that he seemed to want to retire for good.

Grayson smiled politely and said, "Grand Old Master Yorks, since you have no intention of interfering in the affairs of Yorks Stronghold, then I won't bother you anymore." Grayson returned to the Chateau de Selene in Tourmaline Estate. He conveyed Grand Old Master Yorks' words to Jay, and Jay became lost in thought.

The old man had never been afraid of anything. Why was he behaving so abnormally this time?

Then, Jay instructed Grayson, "He's old, and things in Yorks Stronghold have gotten out of control. Give Cole a call and tell him to come home quickly."

"Yes."

A few days later, Cole finally came home.

He and Sis Shirley came to Chateau de Selene with their kid. When Angeline heard that Sis Shirley was coming, she forced herself to sit up from the bed.

"Take me downstairs, darling. I'd like to chat with Sis Shirley."

Jay thoughtfully dressed her up and came downstairs Angeline in his arms.

"Angeline, you're getting lighter again." As he placed Angeline on the sofa, Jay looked at her worriedly.

Perhaps time had taken away some of Angeline's pain from the loss of Robbie. She managed to force a smile and say to Jay, "I'm sorry that I've made you worry, Jaybie."

Jay touched her head lovingly and said, "Angeline, I know that Robbie's gone and you're sad. However, our Robbie did great things before he left. Even though his life was short, it was splendid. We should be proud of him. Let's not make Robbie worry about us, okay?"

Tears welled up in Angeline's eyes. "I know, Jaybie. I know this all too well. I just can't help but feel sad and miss him."

Jay took her into his arms. "You've suffered too much in this life, Angeline."

Cole and Shirley sat opposite them. Cole's eyes were red, while Shirley kept wiping tears away.

They heard of Baby Robbie's demise on their journeys. He was such a good child, but he was gone just like that. Even they would take a long time to recover from their grief, let alone Angeline.

Jay wiped Angeline's tears and said softly, "Don't you miss Sis Shirley? Now that she's back, you can have a good chat with her." "Yeah." Angeline nodded.

Only then did Jay finally let go of Angeline. "You sisters should chat. Cole and I will head outside to see the children."

He deliberately avoided Angeline and called Cole outside to the pavilion.

"You called me back in such a hurry, Cousin. What happened?" Cole asked impatiently.

Jay said, "Something is going on in Yorks Stronghold. Do you know about it?"

Cole had an inkling. He had long felt that there was something unusual going on in Yorks Stronghold.

He sighed in confusion. "It's no wonder that people in Yorks Stronghold kept reporting deaths to me recently. I thought it was the aging population of Yorks Stronghold.

"What's going on, Cousin?"

Jay looked at Cole faintly and said, "Monsters have started appearing in Yorks Stronghold. They've killed many creatures."

Cole's eyes were filled with surprise, then the surprise slowly subsided.

"Cole, you have a keen insight, and you grew up in Yorks Stronghold. What kind of strange things that have happened in Yorks Stronghold have you heard o f?"

Cole carefully recalled, then said with some confusion, "I don't know if that matter has anything to do with today's events, though." "Let's hear it." "When I was a child, I once stumbled into a mysterious cemetery. There was an ice coffin in the cemetery. Inside was a man dressed in traditional attire..."

Chapter 2436

Chapter 2436

Cole paused slightly as though trying to recall things from a long time ago. "I remember that he was wearing a red robe with a white jewel placed on his forehead. He had his eyes closed. It's just that I was young at that time. I heard people say that a person who dies wearing red clothes is very hostile and has deep grievances. I was afraid, so I ran away without taking a closer look at him."

After hearing Cole's explanation, Jay thought carefully and said, "So, the person in the ice coffin has been there for a long time?"

Cole was stunned for a while, then said, "Yeah, there are even weirder things." His tone kept people guessing in suspense.

Jay listened to him in silence. Cole suddenly stopped speaking, and Jay raised his head suddenly. He saw a trace of fear hidden in Cole's eyes.

"What are you worried about?" Jay asked.

Cole said anxiously, "This is just too mysterious, Jay. Do you know that there's a lifelike giant python carved in that ancient tomb? The giant python lies on the ice coffin, as if guarding the person inside it. Yorks Stronghold's python emblem is exactly the same as that giant python."

If Jay did not understand Cole, he would think Cole

was talking gibberish.

However, Jay had also experienced some mysterious events, so his acceptance of these things was much higher.

"Judging by your story, Yorks Stronghold is truly a mysterious place," said Jay.

Cole replied, "Do you know what's more mysterious? What's even weirder is that when I grew up, I brought my mates to find the tomb along the route in my memory several times, but I never found the entrance again.

"If not for the strange occurrences in Yorks Stronghold now, those things would've just remained as bad memories from my childhood."

Jay asked, "Do you still remember the approximate location of the cave's entrance?"

"I do. But it's a smooth cliff now. There are no openings to be found."

"Could it be that you remember it wrong?"

"My memory's not that bad, Cousin."

Jay nodded. "If that's the case, then you should go back to Yorks Stronghold with us. I want to visit the mysterious tomb in person."

Cole showed an astonished expression. "Why on earth would you go there? My grandfather's frightened by those treacherous things, so he did everything possible to move out of Yorks Stronghold." Jay said, "Someone told me that Robbie's chances of living lie in Yorks Stronghold."

Cole had a sudden realization after Jay said this.

"Jay, Robbie's an excellent child. All of us admired him. Since this is for him, as his uncle, it's my duty as well. Just give me some time to let me say goodbye to my parents."

Jay nodded. "Alright."

Inside the lobby, Angeline and Shirley were chatting away happily.

Angeline also briefly forgot the pain of losing her son. She asked Sis Shirley with concern, "Sis, after you and Cousin Cole came back from that trip, I can see that you're full of smiles and your complexion has improved a lot. He must be good to you."

Shirley said gently, "Angeline, he'll always have you in his heart. But Cole has explained it to me. Since your Jaybie treats you extremely well, tolerates you, loves you, and can also give you a more

ovenet

prosperous life, he's willing to let go and give his blessing to you and Jay."

Angeline said, "He's finally grown up and understands the ways of the world."

Shirley smiled and said, "Right? He said that he'll guard me and the children in the future. We'll lead an ordinary life together."

Angeline could hear a trace of grievance but also hope in her tone.

Shirley said again, "I'm content with this. He loves you, Angeline, so I won't bicker about his feelings. I might not be able to accept it if it were anyone else. It's only because I know that you'll never fall in love with him."

Chapter 2437 Chapter 2437 When Jay and Cole entered the room, both Angeline and Shirley had serene expressions on their faces. Cole leaned on the door and could not help but sigh. "Shirley said that if she had not met Angeline, she would have lived in that swamp forever. She said that Angeline accepted her with her broad heart, and Angeline had never regarded Shirley as an outsider who has no blood relationship with her. Shirley is managing the Severe's family business while the Severe's actual daughter, Angeline, doesn't care about her own interests. She gave Shirley full freedom and authority."

Jay looked at Cole, not knowing why he was boasting about Angeline so loudly. He felt his heartstrings tighten.

"No matter how good Angeline is, she's still mine." Jay declared his ownership in a domineering manner.

Cole smiled and said, "Look at you. How jealous. I just suddenly feel grateful. When Shirley was praising Angeline, I didn't feel much at the time. But later on a corner of the street, I saw a pair of sisters beating each other into pulp just because the younger sister is the illegitimate daughter of their father. The pair of sisters spared no effort to abuse the other in order to compete for their rich father's inheritance. At that moment, I suddenly realized Angeline's broad heart."

Jay's face became extremely dark.

Cole patted him on the shoulder and said, "I know that you're the one who trained Angeline into such an excellent person. I'm more relieved than anything else, Cousin. I've let go of Angeline. In the future, I'll only give my love to Shirley, who has always loved me silently."

Jay teased, "So a stubborn person like you has finally figured it out. It must've been hard."

Angeline raised her gaze and saw Jay and Cole. She greeted them with a smile.

"Darling, Cousin Cole."

Jay and Cole walked over and sat in front of their wives. Jay tidied up Angeline's messy hair but found that Angeline was looking at Cole, who was opposite her, with a smile.

Jay frowned and turned his head. However, he saw Cole holding Shirley's hand. He looked at him with a smile that was filled with provocation. 1 "Cousin, don't think that you're the only one who can make publicly display your affection in this world.

Jay, Angeline was overjoyed to see this, and she was convulsing with laughter.

Jay had not seen Angeline so happy for a long time. He was looking at her quietly with eyes filled with affection.

Then, Angeline's laughter came to an abrupt end without warning.

"What's wrong?" Jay asked nervously.

Angeline noticed the rings on Shirley's and Cole's hands. When she looked down at her own hands, she found that her ring was missing.

"Where's my ring, darling?" Angeline was suddenly about to cry.

Jay looked at Angeline's empty fingers and quickly comforted her et "Don't worry. You haven't left the house, so the ring is definitely still at home. I'll find it for you."

Then, Jay got off the sofa. He went to a lot of trouble to move the and sofa almost deconstructed it, but he still could not find the ring.

Cole helped search for a long time. He was sweating profusely before he ultimately said, "Let's stop looking. Just ask your hus fore make you an identical one."

belongs to en.swnovel Angeline's tears started rolling down her cheeks. "No. That's our wedding ring."

Jay quickly coaxed her by saying, "Don't cry, my darling. I'll look for it. I'll tear the house apart if I must."

Then, Jay and Cole searched various rooms of the villa again but found nothing.

Cole was even lying on the floor mat.

"Stop looking, Jay. In my opinion, it must have fallen into the sewer."

Chapter 2438

Chapter 2438

Jay was lost in thought and seemed to be racking his brain to find a way to take apart the sewer.

Cole was so frightened that he ran over to sit down. He said with fear and trepidation. "Don't tell me that you're going to check the sewer."

Jay said, "That's exactly what I'm going to do."

Cole got up and said, "I suddenly remember that I have something to do. Cousin, I'll leave first."

Jay said coldly, "I knew that a brat like you is unreliable. In the past, you kept saying that you were willing to go through water and tread on fire for my Angeline, but now, you're not even willing to go check the sewer with me."

Cole turned back and said, "Okay, okay, stop with the nonsense. Today, I'll give up my life to accompany you. Tell me, how do you want to do this?"

However, Cole soon regretted his impulsive decision.

It was because Jay called a professional to come over and tried to flush the clogged things in the water pipe with high pressure. Nonetheless, after working for a long time, their efforts were found to be in vain. Cole thought that after Jay had struggled for so long, he would give up at this point. Unexpectedly, Jay's next words almost scared him to death. "The sewer in the

house is connected to the septic tank. Maybe the ring has been flushed into the septic tank?"

Cole immediately protested. "That's enough, Cousin. Are you done yet? Isn't it just a ring? You earn so much money, so can't you just replicate the ring?" Jay said, "Angeline is obstinate. She thinks the ring represents the eternal love between me and her. If the ring is gone, she'll let her imaginations run wild." Cole was speechless.

"Just because she's being that way, are you really going to put up with it?"

Jay did not say any more nonsense and immediately ordered the others to open the septic tank.

When the rancid smell penetrated his nose, Jay could not help but feel nauseated and wanted to vomit.

Cole blocked his nose with cotton and put on a face mask.

Then, under Jay's threats, the two men stretched their hands into the cesspool.

After digging around for quite some time, Shirley suddenly ran over and shouted, "The ring has been found!"

Cole and Jay looked at each other in dismay.

Then, they silently covered up the septic tank and washed their hands while also using hand sanitizer to disinfect them. They washed their hands and disinfected them again and again...

After coming out of the septic tank, Jay immediately vomited.

Cole clutched his stomach, and his face was ashen.

Shirley explained, "Angeline remembered it wrongly. It turned out that she had set the ring into the necklace. The ring is worn around her neck. She just forgot about it."

Cole remembered the filthy and tiring hard work he had done today. In the end, it was all an unexpected mistake. He wanted to die at this moment.

Cole glared at Jay angrily. "I'm telling you, your wife's been spoiled rotten by you. You should change the way you treat your wife, Cousin."

Jay glared back at him. "Angeline's memory has been bad recently and she has a sensitive personality. Her body is reacting negatively after she lost Robbie. I have to understand her and tolerate her so that she can get through this smoothly. I'm warning you, shut up in front of Angeline."

Cole thought about it for a while and teased. "I thought that I was bringing Shirley here today to flaunt our affection I didn't expect you to defeat me in the end. In the face of a person who dotes on his wife, you're certainly a king while m lást place. I'm sincerely convinced and ready to concede."

Jay said, "I beat you in every single way, got it?"

Cole was speechless again.

Shirley looked at Cole, who looked defeated. She smiled while saying, "Alright now. It's been a long day. You two must be hungry. My sister has made some food. Go on and try it out."

Chapter 2439

Chapter 2439

Cole touched his nauseated and tumbling stomach. The stench of the septic tank seemed to linger on the tip of his nose. When he heard that it was time to eat, he felt nauseated and wanted to vomit again. "Ugh... I'm not eating. I'm not eating." Cole held his stomach and waved his hands. "Don't ever mention anything about eating again."

Jay fiercely said to him, "Angeline worked so hard to cook a table of food for us. She'll be upset if you choose not to appreciate her cooking."

Cole looked at Jay speechlessly. "I know you're a wifeloving maniac, but this is too much even for you."

Jay was unrelenting, so Cole could simply bite the bullet and head to the dining table.

When Cole saw the mushroom soup on the dining table, he suddenly thought of the septic tank again. Unable to hold himself back, he covered his mouth and hurried to the bathroom to vomit. Angeline asked while wondering, "What happened to Cousin Cole?"

Jay resisted the nausea that was churning in his stomach and calmly explained, "Cousin Cole must've gotten his stomach messed up from traveling the world."

Shirley was in between laughter and tears.

Angeline said, "Then he should hurry up and see a doctor to get himself treated."

After Cole vomited, he heard Jay saying nonsense with a deadpan look on his face. He said weakly, "I truly admire you, Cousin. Don't you have OCD? Can you bear the stench of the septic tank?" Jay made a gesture as he glared at Cole viciously." Don't mention things you shouldn't be mentioning."

From the few words they were exchanging, Angeline had already guessed the reason for their lack of appetite. She was very ashamed and blamed herself. " It's my memory. I clearly set the ring into the necklace myself, but I forgot all about it. Am I having early menopause?"

"Lil Sis, you're not even 40 years old. Menopause is still early for you."

Angeline said, "It's two years away."

The look of sadness on Angeline's face made Jay feel bad. He took Angeline's hand and comforted her with kind words, saying, "It's all thanks to you that I found

something to do with Cole, Al met

Otherwise, we would've been very bored. We almost couldn't find a path to live our lives."

Cole's handsome face twitched slightly. He looked like he was in pain and was also extremely speechless at Jay, the wife-loving maniac.

Jay rolled his eyes at him and changed the subject wisely.

"It's fine if you don't eat, Cousin. You should lose weight. After not seeing you for a while, you've gotten fat."

Cole touched his fairly well-defined chin, turned his head, and asked Sis Shirley, "Have I truly gotten fat, darling?"

Shirley, being an honest person, had no idea how to lie.

She glanced at Jay and said, "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have noticed. After hearing Jay say that, I do think that your skin is slightly saggy compared to your

Cole stood up in shock. With the expression as if the world had ended, he said, "That's unreasonable. Jay is several years older than me."

Jay gave him a slap in the face

before saying something sweet to coax him. "Why do you care about that face of yours? It's not like you can depend on it to make a living. In any case, no matter how much fatter you've gotten, Sis Shirley won't despise you for it."

Cole breathed a sigh of relief. "That's true. I have a wife and a son now, so it doesn't matter if I'm chubby."

However, Jay said, "Don't get too fat now, or else it'll affect my appetite when we eat together in the future." Cole was fuming...

"Alright. I'll work out when I get back."

The few of them were chatting happily when Shirley suddenly said, "By the way, why don't I see Zayne and Josie?"

Angeline replied, "Zayne and Josie experienced some things some time ago. They need some time to settle back down. I'm trying my best not to disturb them."

Cole and Shirley looked at each other in dismay. Cole was unable to restrain a smile as he asked, "Did Zayne cheat on Josie?" Angeline nodded.

Shirley sighed. "Zayne's truly something else. He has such a beautiful wife. Why couldn't he just live a good life? Why did he learn from skirt-chasers instead?"

Cole said, "I think there's something you don't understand. Any men like Zayne and Jay here who married their first love will most likely cheat after marriage. The feeling of novelty will wear off, and the effects of adrenal hormones will subside. Then, the shortcomings of both parties are exposed. One can't tolerate the other, and vice versa. Then, they'll start to hate seeing each other. In the end, the cold war and cheating come..."

Jay glared at him coldly, "Why'd you bring me into this?"

Then, Jay placed his arms around Angeline and said, "Angeline and I might be each other's first love, but I can never see enough of her in my life."

Cole originally wanted to tease him, but when he thought of the septic tank, he really felt that no man was qualified to make irresponsible remarks in front of the superb lover Jay.

In the end, he merely complained angrily," You're just a flatterer, aren't you?"

Jay was not angry, but Angeline was fuming.

She angrily made him a cup of tea and put it in front of him while saying, "Hurry up and drink your tea. Rinse your mouth a little. It stinks to death."

Cole said, "You husband and wife are amazing."

In the end, unable to ignore Cole's pleading, Angeline still asked Josie and Zayne to come over.

Seeing the two of them, Angeline's eyes contained a hint of scrutiny. Ever since Zayne and Josie's emotional breakdown to their recovery, they were in the process of rebuilding their trust. If they did not communicate openly and honestly, it would be hard for them to rebuild their marriage.

Zayne took his son's hand, and after walking to the living room, he patted Joseph's head and said, "Go and look for Lil Angel."

Joseph quickly ran off.

Meanwhile, Josie and Zayne walked up to Angeline with a smile. After asking about her wellbeing, Josie sat down next to Angeline.

Then, Angeline asked her secretly, "Are you and Zayne doing well like before?"

Josie was no longer shy and

became more open-minded. "I no longer want to dwell in those flaws, Sis Angeline. A fault-finding person makes others tired as well as themselves. The older generation said it best. People should learn when to turn a blind eye and move

I for Zayne now, and he's also working hard to learn to be a qualified husband and father. We're all changing for the better. The family's become more harmonious."

Angeline was quite happy. "I'm relieved that your relationship has improved."

At this moment. Cole suddenly

asked Zayne, "Zayne, I'm going to

Yorks Stronghold with Jay. Why don't you come with us? The three of us make the best team, with Jay responsible for wisdom, I'm

responsible for fighting, and you're responsible for laughter.

Zayne glanced over at Josie and said, "I'm not going. I'm staying at home to warm my wife's bed."

Josie became suspicious. "But why are you guys heading to Yorks Stronghold?"

Cole's expression darkened.

The atmosphere instantly became

quiet, and Angeline looked at Jay. "Are you hiding something from me, Jaybie?" Jay said, "Angeline, Savannah's master came to pay a visit. She said that there's a chance that Robbie is still alive, but everything lies at Yorks Stronghold. I have to head to Yorks Stronghold to try out my luck."

Angeline was dumbfounded.

She became incredibly excited, and tears flowed out of her eyes. "Why didn't you tell me such good news?"

Jay said, "I was afraid that this might be wasted effort. I don't want you to be happy for nothing and make you become even more distressed instead."
