"As long as you're safe, Angeline, Jaybie is willing to let the gods shorten his life..." He even became superstitious.
In the evening, Jay walked out of Grand Asia in despair.
When he returned to Carefree Garden, Jenson and Baby Robbie stood by the door, watching him quietly like a pair of statues.
"Daddy seems to be in an awful mood." Baby Robbie pointed out sorrowfully.
Jenson replied, "Be more confident. It's not seemingly, he truly is in a bad mood."
"Daddy," the two children called out to him in unison.
Jay managed to squeeze out a pale, feeble smile at them. He stretched his hands out to pat them perfunctorily.
"Where are all your sisters?" Jay asked in a low-spirited manner.
"Still shopping."
Jay walked into the living room and slumped onto the sofa.
Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at one another. Then,
Baby Robbie said in distress, "Daddy can't go on being this way."
Jenson replied, "Daddy is just worried about Mommy. I s there any way you can reach her, Baby Robbie?"
Baby Robbie gave it a thought. "I can try."
Baby Robbie and Jenson walked toward Jay, and due t o Jenson's cold temperament, he was at a loss at how t o comfort his father.
Baby Robbie pulled Jay's hand over and repeatedly promised, "Don't worry, Daddy. I'll make sure Mommy comes back as soon as possible."
Jay looked at Baby Robbie. He looked utterly helpless and defeated at the moment. "Do you have any good ideas?"
