Baby Zetty looked at Baby Robbie suspiciously. At that moment, it was as if her mind was opened up as many inexplicable scenes replayed in her head.
She remembered her encounter with him in the supermarket. He had told her, “I’m also from Imperial Capital…”
She remembered how he chased her all the way out when she left the supermarket. Brother Finn suspected that he was a human trafficker, and now it seemed like his attachment to her at that time was not because of evil thoughts but from nostalgia.
She recalled how when she was busy beating him up earlier when they were outside. He merely covered his face and was unwilling to fight back…
Baby Zetty’s gaze shifted from Baby Robbie’s unfamiliar face to the macrame knots on his hand. Earlier, she could not understand why Mommy decided to give him the macrame knots, but now it was as if she had woken up from a dream.
Baby Zetty’s eyes lit up, then tears started rolling down her face.
It turned out her big brother, Baby Robbie, had returned!
Baby Zetty cried even louder now…
Baby Robbie merely thought that she was crying so pitifully because she lost the voting.
Baby Robbie had always loved his sister since they were children, so when he saw Baby Zetty crying, he immediately tried to soothe her.
“Hey, don’t cry. If you like Brother Finn that much, then I’ll tie him up right here for you tomorrow. You may do whatever you want with him.”
Angeline’s angelic heart could not stand it the most when her children suffered grievances and she ended up crying as well. Her attitude then took a turn as she glared at Jay fiercely.
Jay had to cover his face with his hands, slightly turning his body to the other side to pretend that he did not see Angeline’s stare.
Angeline stretched her hand and gently tugged on his sleeves. She called out softly, “Jaybie?”
Her voice was cottony soft and utterly gentle.
Jay closed his eyes as he could not bring himself to fall over Angeline’s beauty.
“Jaybie?” Angeline began to act coquettishly. “You said that you’d listen to everything I say?”
Jay looked back at her and saw her tiny face. She looked so pitiful as she begged that Jay’s heart of stone seemed to have entered a furnace where everything was burned into a pile of warmness. Hence, he changed his decision and raised his hand.
Angeline smiled coquettishly and cheered.
“I love you, Jaybie.”
Baby Zetty plunged into Baby Robbie’s arms, and his whole body immediately stiffened up.
He was both joyful yet terrified.
He wanted to acknowledge Baby Zetty without a moment’s hesitation. But he was afraid that his merriness in clinging onto familial affection would bring disaster to his family. Ultimately, he stood motionless like a puppet, letting Baby Zetty cry on his shoulder.
Finally, Baby Robbie said in an insincere tone, “Girls should be touching boys so lightly.”
Baby Zetty let go of him and wiped her tears away. She asked guiltily, “Did I hurt you badly just now, Robbie?”
Baby Robbie muttered, “Girls should be a little more dignified. You’re too rude. Don’t use that method so casually in the future.”
Baby Zetty pointed toward Jenson and said, “Big Brother here taught me.”
Jenson said, “I taught you this trick for you to deal with the hooligans outside. I didn’t tell you to do it on your own big brother’s birdie.”
Hearing the children’s conversation, Jay’s handsome face started twitching violently. It was difficult to tell his expression.
“Ahem!”
