A sudden downpour started, bringing away the dull summer heat abruptly. The cooling breeze of early autumn barged into the luxurious and warm mansion. Jay quietly stood by the window, watching the clear sky outside.His heart was feeling a peacefulness that he had never felt before.His grandfather’s advice was ringing in his ears. ‘Since you’re not able to marry the woman your heart desires in this lifetime and since you’ve chosen to live for your children, then let me ask you, who can be a more suitable mother for Jenson and Baby Robbie besides Rose?’Jay took out his phone and called Grayson.“President!” Grayson’s shaky voice was heard once the call was connected.Jay frowned subconsciously. He had never considered such a question in the past, yet it was bothering his mind right now. ‘Everyone near me always fears me. They gave me all sorts of labels behind my back like ‘tyrant’ or ‘Asura’. But why does a little woman like Rose dare to infuriate me so much?’“Grayson, investi
Jenson entered his room and immediately locked the door.“Baby Robbie, did you see that pair of eyes?” Fear was evident in Jenson’s voice.Baby Robbie thought about it for a moment. “You mean the elephant eyes by the window?”Jenson immediately yelled, “Stay away from it.”Baby Robbie obediently agreed. “Okay.” He did not know why Jenson wanted him to stay away from the pair of eyes in the castle. He just felt that Jenson would be happier if he answered that way.“Jenson, what’s with that pair of eyes?”“It’s haunted!”Baby Robbie pouted. “It’s haunted?” He then recalled hearing some unfamiliar voices while inside the castle and realized. “Oh, no wonder I heard some weird noises. But what is a ghost? Is it scary? Didn’t the teacher say that there are no ghosts in this world?”“Baby Robbie, stay away from the castle.”“Okay, I understand.”Jenson became unusually agitated. ‘So that weird creature has started to approach Baby Robbie.’ Jenson suddenly threw the phone at the glas
Each time Jenson was startled, he would look exhausted and weak. Now, he was lying on Jay’s shoulders. His eyes were half-opened, and he looked lifeless as well as sleepy.Rose looked at Jens, but Jay was looking at Rose.She was dressed in a cotton home attire that looked like her pajamas. Her pajamas had long sleeves and long pants. The outer layer was a small jacket. With just one look, he could tell that she had rushed over to see Jenson and did not have the time to dress up.Jay was rather surprised. After all, in his memory, every woman who approached him had spent time and effort to make themselves look good. They would pay attention to even the minute details like their nails. “Come in.” His expression remained cold and expressionless. However, his heart had a peculiar ripple going on.“Is Jens alright?” Rose asked worriedly.Jay gently ruffled Baby Robbie’s head and casually answered Rose, “The child suffered a little scare.”Rose looked at Jenson who had fallen asleep
Rose looked up and stared at him. ‘Why is this fella talking to me so kindly? Is he scheming something?’”Are you willing to come over and be... a nanny?“ he asked.Rose was speechless.‘Do I look like a nanny?’She was tempted to reject the offer immediately, but when she recalled Jenson‘s weak and tired appearance... When she thought about each time Baby Robbie and Zetty asked when they could see Daddy again...Rose’s prideful heart crumbled once again.If it was in the past, Jay would conceitedly think that Rose would be more than happy to accept his request.After all, she would receive a high salary for being a nanny at the Ares family.However, now that Jay knew that Rose was a skilled hacker and that she had the ambition to build her business empire, Jay was not fully confident that she would accept her offer.Rose thought about it for a moment and looked up at Jay, speaking with full resolute, “If you‘re seriously thinking about the sake of the children, then you shoul
‘Cohabitating?’Jay’s brows frowned slightly as he looked at the confident Rose.He disliked women who acted meek and lowly in front of him. However, Rose who was arrogant to the point where she viewed him as insignificant gave him a stronger sense of displeasure.“I think you should find out the market price for any mansion in Horizon Colors. That way, you won’t bring up such an absurd and impossible suggestion.” Jay’s tone was filled with an arrogance that brought others down.Rose bit her lips. ‘F*ck you. Are you mocking me for being poor?’“Sir Ares, name your price.” Rose’s biggest trait was being stubborn and refusing to give up until the last second.Jay smirked as he lifted one finger. His finger was slim, long, and fair. His joints were well-shaped, looking so sexy and alluring.Rose’s gaze had been drawn by his finger, and for a moment, she was in a daze.She recalled her childhood days when he had held her hand and taught her how to type on the keyboard.It was hard
Zetty did not have her own room, thus she could only share a room with Mommy.When she saw that Baby Robbie had a large and beautiful room, she could not hide her sadness and whispered to her mommy, “Why won‘t Daddy give me a pretty room as well?”Rose did not know how to answer that.That night, Zetty’s mood was rather low.Rose could only hug Zetty and patiently comfort her. “Zetty, you‘re a girl. That’s why you can stay with Mommy until you‘re a big girl. But Baby Robbie is a boy, and he is gradually growing up. There’s a difference between boys and girls. That’s why he has to stay in a different room from us. Do you understand?”Zetty finally felt better.Their new room may be the shabbiest within the mansion, but it was still a luxury for the mother and daughter.It may be just a room, but it was a large one. The only downside to the room was that the interior design was overly elegant. Silver-grey vertical striped wallpaper was not the kind of room that a dreamy little gir
Rose brought out her pizza, and the children all squealed in delight. “Wow!”Subsequently, Jenson abandoned his cutleries to join Baby Robbie and Zetty as they surrounded their Mommy.Jay’s back was toward the kitchen, so he did not see Rose’s pizza. He frowned and wondered to himself, ‘It’s just a pizza. Hasn’t Jenson had plenty of expensive pizza? Why is he so enthusiastic toward Rose’s pizza?’Rose came over and placed the pizza on the dining table. The children immediately surrounded her. Jay saw the specially made pizza and was stunned.The pizza was like a map, separated by a blue river. On one side was a dark zombie kingdom while the other side was Ultraman’s space universe.This pizza was special. However, what made Jay flabbergasted was the details of the handcraft. They truly displayed Rose’s capabilities in art.Rose divided the pizza into four slices using a knife and gave each child one slice. Only Jay did not get any slice.Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at the plat
Jay looked at that arrogant smug and thought to himself, ‘Since you don’t want to be a maid, I have my ways to make you unconsciously turn into the Ares family’s maid.’“Next time, I will eat with the children. I’ll eat whatever you make and will pay you some money for it. How does 20,000 a month sound like? You can still enjoy your regular weekends and holidays. What do you think?” Jay set out a trap for his prey.Rose thought about it. ‘I have to make food for the kids every day, anyway. It doesn’t seem like a hassle to make an extra portion for him either, and I can earn an extra 20,000. Why not?’“Deal.” Rose happily took Jay’s plate away.A smug success was seen under Jay’s eyes.At night, Jay went to his study to handle a document. When he came out, he found that Jenson and Baby Robbie were not in their rooms.He looked at his wristwatch to see that it was already their bedtime.Jay heard a clear voice coming from Rose’s room. The expression on his handsome face darkened.
