Angeline was aware of this truth but unlike Jay, Angeline was not that principled. Angeline loved fantasizing and was filled with longing.
"What if Finn falls in love with Baby Zetty one day?"
"I watched Finn grow up, Angeline. Unlike Tempest and Storm, his character isn’t that easy to predict.
Finn is rebellious to his core and has dreams and pursuits of his own. He has a different vision when it comes to love.
"He dated once in college, hoping to start a family of his own as soon as possible and take pleasure in the comfort that a family could bring him... The age gap between him and Baby Zetty is just too huge. That introduces too many variables in their relationship. I want to protect my daughter, but I need to support Finn's dream too."
Angeline stopped crying. "What about Baby Zetty?”
Jay replied, "We may be devastated by Baby Zetty’s current predicament, but she's the Ares family's child, and the child of the Ares family has no right to remain a hothouse flower. Under the ravage of storms, she will choose between withering or standing proud and firm.
"We can’t be the umbrella on top of her head forever. If that’s the case, let us be the soil under her feet. Let's help her grow stronger."
Angeline covered her face with her hands and cried out, "You're a cruel father."
Jay said, "Angeline, you have to trust our daughter. She’s tender yet tough like you. She will get through the storm."
Angeline hoped that time would go by faster because Baby Zetty's heartbreak could only heal with time.
Tempest picked countless roses in the garden and weaved them into a gorgeous wreath, taking it to the second floor of Building 5.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Baby Zetty curled up on the couch. The changes in Baby Zetty's weight in just 20 days left Tempest startled.
Baby Zetty asked him shyly, "I look really ugly, don't I, Brother Tempest?"
Tempest put the wreath on Baby Zetty's head and replied sincerely, "No, you're not."
