Baby Zetty was slightly stunned. Daddy's exhortations sounded extremely profound to her. It was as though his words carried a lot of weight.
"Mm." She nodded obediently.
Jay finally eased up his taut expression and smiled at Baby Zetty. "Daddy and Mommy believe that you'll break out of your cocoon and grow into a beautiful butterfly."
Baby Zetty was stunned once more...
This was the first time she had ever felt Daddy's expectations for her and sensed the hopes he was placing on her. She thought Daddy had long given up o n her because she was not as outstanding and talented as her brothers.
It turned out that she had failed Daddy and let him down after he placed his hopes on her.
"Mm." Baby Zetty nodded solemnly.
Upon Jay and Angeline’s return to Chateau de Selene, the children began questioning their parents curiously when they did not see Baby Zetty.
"Where's Sis Zetty?"
Angeline forcibly sealed the pain and sorrow of
separation in her heart to say to the children with a smile, "Great-grandmother needs her to stay over for a few days to heal her broken heart."
"Wow, she can cure broken hearts too?" the children exclaimed.
Angeline blurted out without thinking, "That's the subject of Great-grandma's new research."
"Oh."
Innocent children might be easy to deceive, but Jenson was scrutinizing his parents without a word. From the gloom lingering on their faces, he could tell that something was off.
A questioning look exuded from the depths of Jenson's eyes.
Jay seemed to be in a bad mood as he returned to the study without a word.
At this moment, Finn arrived at Chateau de Selene and reported to Jenson, "Sir, it's done."
Jenson replied, "We'll leave at once." He walked out the door after saying those words.
