The rich breakfast suddenly tasted like candle wax to Jay. Spitting his pastry into the nearest trash can, he sat with an ugly expression on his face.
Were the children trying to hinder his path to happiness?
The three children looked at their daddy…
Baby Robbie pretended to sigh like an adult. “Ah, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman.”
Jay replied, “The best beauty is not to be found, but to be met. If you have met yours, tell Daddy. I can help you reserve your little wife for you.”
Jenson roasted his daddy without hesitating, saying, “Not everyone is a visual animal like you. Besides, not everyone is a pedophile like you.”
Jay, “...”
“Who taught you to speak like this?” Jay roared angrily.
Angeline buried her face in her plate.
Jenson glanced at Angeline, an unreadable expression in his eyes.
Jay directed his cutthroat gaze over to Angeline and was met with the sight of Angeline burying her face in her plate.
Jay did not know if he should laugh or cry.
“Angeline?”
Angeline raised her head nervously. The tip of her nose was covered with cream cheese. She looked ridiculous.
“Enjoy your meal,” Jay said.
“Okay.”
The doors of Sycamore Annex burst open.
Storm rushed into the room. “Mr. Ares, this is bad. Something’s happening at Flying Moon Cottage.”
“Did something happen to Josephine?” Angeline slammed her cutleries back onto the table and stood up, her entire body tense.
Angeline knew that it was not a matter to joke about. She waved her hands as she said, “It wasn’t me.”
Jay breathed a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Storm, let’s go and check it out.”
“I’m going too.” Angeline followed them.
The three children stood up. “We’re going to join in on the fun!”
“You three stay behind,” Jay ordered.
The children had no choice but to remain at Sycamore Annex.
Flying Moon Cottage.
Yumi was aggressively forcing the Ares family to fess up. “Old Grand Master Ares, my brother is the only son of the Titus family. How am I supposed to tell my parents about what happened here? The Ares family must make it up to me.”
