"Stay away from her, Angeline," Jay put away his unbridled behavior and warned with a sullen face without warning.
Angeline thought for a very long time before realizing what he meant.
Jaybie was referring to Sis Thirteen when he said 'her'.
Angeline was extremely confused. "She’s just a child. She can’t even protect herself..." She thought that Jaybie was overly anxious about her safety.
Before she could finish her sentence, Jay picked up a potted plant on the table next to him. The small seedling looked malnourished and fragile in the small pot.
However, Jay said, "A seedling can’t determine if it's going to grow straight or crooked. It's up to the person who cares for the seedling to decide."
Angeline stared fixedly at the stem that had not changed its position for several days now yet was obviously curved because the seedling was growing toward the light.
Jay put down the pot and brushed Angeline’s exquisite nose, saying, "Be a good girl."
Angeline gave him an endearing nod. “Mm."
She then threw herself into his arms and whispered," I'll be careful around her."
Jay breathed a sigh of relief.
In the study.
Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie sat in an orderly manner a s they listened to their teachers.
Finn said, "Master Ares wants me to draw up a study plan for you. Any suggestions?"
Baby Zetty’s eyes curved into crescent moons. "More classes from Brother Finn and fewer from Uncle Grayson."
The different way of addressing them sent Grayson into a fit of laughter. Then, he teased Finn, saying," You have to call me Uncle Grayson next time, Finn."
Finn glared viciously at Grayson. "She’s insensible because she’s young. Are you going to be so insensible too?"
