Jack nodded as if agreeing with Jay's plans.

Jack left with his hands behind him and came face to face with Jordan who had chased after Jay all the way there.

When the two men met, their gaze was calm and so was their expression.

"Big Brother," Jack called out respectfully.

"Don't call me your big brother. I find you Ares people dirty." The man scoffed after speaking.

Jack chuckled. "What you have today is only because of what you and your mother had done. You can't blame anyone for it."

"My mother and I merely didn't want to collude with you corrupted people," Jordan said.

"You should learn to bow to reality." A troubled scorn appeared in Jack's gaze. "Big Brother, back then, you looked so youthful and energetic, yet now you're left with this ugly appearance." "What you're referring to is only the outer shell. People like you may look grand and noble, but only you yourself know how despicable you are on the inside."

Jay turned around to look at the two men with a thoughtful gaze.

Jack and Jordan seemed to have noticed Jay was watching them. They both unanimously kept their mouths shut without speaking any more.

Jay carried his mother into the master room of Fragrant Vessel Court.

He then gently informed her, "From now on, you can stay here in peace. I'll get someone to take good care of you. I'm usually busy with work, but I'll come to visit you when I have the time." The woman cried tears of joy. "Okay."

When Jay came downstairs, Jordan was like a ghost coming for revenge as he approached Jay. "Return Chloe to me."

When Jay sat on the sofa, he stood in front of Jay and repeated himself like a tape recorder. "Return Chloe to

-H me.

Jay looked up at the man and tried to reason with him. "What happens next if I return her to you? Are you going to hide her in that tiny cave again, depriving her of sunlight and opportunity for activity? You're going to kill her in the long run."

Jordan replied agitatedly, "I love her so much. Why would I harm her?

"Ever since your birth, she has climbed out multiple times a day to have a look at you. She became this way not because she lacked exercise, but..." Jordan was hesitant to continue.

It was obvious that what he was about to say was a taboo within the Ares family.

"Because of what?" Jay probed.

Jordan sorrowfully said, "Don't ask. I won't tell you anything. Just return Chloe to me. If you want to do what's good for her, then... Then... Send us out."

Jay's expression darkened. "I want the truth. I want to know everything. Otherwise, I'll never return her to you."

"Jordan..." It was unknown when or how Jay's mother reached the stairway. She had tears on her face as she looked at Jordan.

"Chloe." Jordan ran up the stairs and hugged the woman.

Jay was taken aback by his speed. His expression became worried as he looked at the two people in a tight embrace.

"Jordan, listen to me. Don't do silly things anymore for my sake. I've wasted your whole life. You should let go of me and enjoy the rest of your life, okay?"

Jordan cried like a child. "Not okay. Have you forgotten our promise to each other? We won't stray from each other in this life regardless of what hardships we face. So I won't ever let go of your hands, not in this lifetime."

"Jordan, I've wronged you. I've disappointed you by giving birth to another man's child. I know that you're suffering inside, but I can't give up on my child either." "I know. I forgive you. You can't let go of your flesh and blood because you're too kind. I shouldn't have forced you to cut all ties with him. Chloe, I've come to see past this. That's why I secretly made a passageway for you to see your son daily... I've truly let go."

"Jordan, thank you. I've never regretted falling in love with you even though I had to suffer my whole life just to be with you."
