Baby Robbie looked visibly reluctant. He lifted his head and looked innocently at Daddy. "Daddy, I want t o go home. To Exuberant City," he said softly.
Jay was not very happy when he looked at Baby Robbie's pleading eyes, though he kept his cool. "Baby Robbie, Great Grandpa, and your Great Uncles are personally here to bring you back home. Why don't you come with me to the Ares family estate for a few days?"
Baby Robbie was not too fond of the idea, though he did not want Great Grandpa to think that he was a rude little boy. He reluctantly nodded but continued to bargain with Daddy. "Two days at most, Daddy. After two days, I want to return to Exuberant City no matter what. Otherwise, Mommy will worry."
"Alright." Jay nodded and made the promise.
That was how Baby Robbie was brought into the car and transported back to Tourmaline Estate.
Tourmaline Estate occupied an area of several thousand acres. The buildings were built with natural stone. They looked hefty and extravagant, and the European style stonework was nothing but exceptional. The interior furnishings were opulent as though it was a palace. Within the estate were an airstrip, swimming pools, a stadium, and even a private school. Its infrastructure was one of the best i

The estate also housed several annexes, which belonged to each of Grand Old Master Ares's sons. The owners of the annexes had different temperaments, which was why each annex and its surrounding landscape had different styles.
Grand Old Master Ares was fond of the symmetry and geometrical precision of the French Le Notre style. The plants in his garden were meticulously pruned and carried a solemn and dignified mood.
Among the Grand Old Master's sons, the eldest son's garden was decorated in a classic Chinese style. There were many narrow and winding paths amid the bamboo groves, adorned on both sides by ornamental rock and bonsai plants, which led to different corners of the garden. In the middle of the garden was a lotus pond with a small bridge across it leading to an artificial rock formation. The garden might have been artificially constructed, but it captured the full beauty of nature.
The second and third son's gardens were vast lawns dotted with trees pruned into various shapes. They were more of a Western style.
John Ares, the youngest son, had a wild and expressive temperament. His garden was landscaped i n the English style. Rose beds, vine trellises, and archways painted the landscape with unbridled exuberance.
After Jenson entered the estate, he hugged his father's neck tightly and did not let go. His little body was stiff from anxiety. Jay's brows were tightly furrowed because he was worried about Baby Robbie's resistance toward going back to the Ares estate, and was also concerned about Jenson's discomfort about returning there.
Fortunately, Josephine was considerate about her brother's feelings. She walked over, carried Baby Robbie, and tried to distract him from worrying. "Baby Robbie, let your Aunt Josephine tell you, there will be a lot of tasty food at dinner time. Do you want to take some food back for Mommy and Zetty?"
Baby Robbie was reminded of Mommy and Zetty, which made him cry even harder.
Jay gave Josephine a cold glare for triggering the child's fragile feelings.
Grand Old Master Ares entered the meeting hall, and the others soon followed. The meeting hall was supported by Roman pillars made of white marble at each corner. On top of their heads was a Chinese style chandelier, and stars and constellations were carved into the ceiling. The place was beautiful and extravagant beyond comparison.
Grand Old Master Ares sat on the seat of the family patriarch and gave an order to a servant next to him. " Bring me the gift I have prepared for the Little Young Master."
Just as he finished speaking, a beautiful blond woman dressed in a tailored red dress - the servant uniform of the Ares family - appeared carrying a jade tray. On the jade tray was a thick stack of banknotes and a diamond credit card.
Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jenson and Robbie and once again appeared confused. "Oh, I'm getting forgetful. I forgot which one of you is Jenson, and which one of you is Robbie!"
Jenson clung tightly to Jay's neck. He was not very comfortable with the situation.
Baby Robbie also clung to Josephine's neck. He did not want to return to the Ares estate and therefore did not want to speak to Grand Old Master Ares.
