"Daddy and Mommy,” Baby Zetty called out as she stood up.
Angeline strode over to Baby Zetty and embraced her into her arms. She affectionately said, "You’re finally willing to come home, Baby Zetty."
Jay’s deep gaze instantly stared at Baby Zetty's face without blinking. The child's smile looked incredibly forced and stiff, and the dismal in her eyes was so intense that it could not be shaken off easily. Her quick-witted self was now merely a dull shell.
Jay recalled Tempest's warning and felt his heart grow tense.
The kid was truly abnormal.
Angeline pulled Baby Zetty to sit down and said while smiling, "Stay here for a couple of days, baby. You can keep Daddy and Mommy company."
Baby Zetty nodded at her stiffly.
At this moment, the quiet Jay interrupted their conversation, "What are your plans for the future, Baby Zetty?"
Baby Zetty's fingers jerked at the thought. It was as if someone had stepped on her sore spot. It took a while for Baby Zetty to calm her agitated emotions. Then,
she replied, "What are you expecting from me, Daddy?”
Jay replied, "Daddy hopes that you'll live as the best version of yourself."
Baby Zetty suddenly widened her beautiful eyes. Daddy’s expectation for her was seemingly a boundless and faintly discernible galaxy as she felt that it was beyond her reach. In her mind, she would only be able to exist with Brother Finn in her life.
Jay added, "Everyone is considered an independent individual, and one should be living as themselves, not dependent on their parents, not clinging to the powerful and rich, and not restricted by love... That's the sort of life they call free and easy."
Baby Zetty murmured back, "That’s easy for you to say. It's hardly attainable!"
Jay replied, "Nothing in the world is difficult if you set your mind to it."
Baby Zetty glanced at Mommy. As if she had utterly given in to despair, she said, "I'm afraid that even someone as strong as Mommy won't be able to handle this kind of free and easy life, right?"
Jay replied to her very firmly, "No. Your mommy's able to do it."
