In the evening, Jay returned.Rose sat on the sofa with her swollen face and greenish nose while she held a book of poems in her hands. There was thick gauze wrapped around her right hand. She stared bitterly at Jay."It seems you've given it a lot of thought when you asked me to clean the pottery in the bottom cabinets," Rose said accusingly.Jay casually walked over to her, took off the well-cut handmade blazer, removed his black tie, and gazed at the tiny woman on the sofa."What's with that look? Are you trying to blackmail me for money?" The sexy and charming lips just had to spew unpleasant words again.Rose's complexion was very pale. It seemed like a little knock would easily bruise her.With Jenson having pulled away from her with such intensity in addition to him hurling toy blocks at her face, one could only imagine how embarrassed she was right now.Rose stood up immediately, raised her chin, and looked at Jay. She flipped her middle finger, and growled, "Sir Ares, i
After Rose’s dad divorced her mother, he married the woman who was Sydney's mother.Even though it looked like a typical remarriage, Sydney was only two years younger than Rose.When Rose’s dad divorced his ex-wife, Rose was five years old. From that perspective, it seemed more likely that Rose’s dad cheated on her mom while they were married.At that time, Rose's mother lived in a remote rural area and did not know how to defend herself in the divorce court.When Rose was fifteen, her mother worked so hard to the point where she fell ill. Her worst fear was that no one would take care of her daughter if she died. Out of options, she had her daughter embark on a long journey to the city to search for her relatives.However, her father introduced Rose, his own flesh and blood, to everyone as an illegitimate daughter.From that day, although Rose moved in with the Loyle Family, she lived a miserable, lowly life.Both Sydney and her mother would often humiliate Rose for coming from
Jenson stopped in his tracks and glared at the kid who was badmouthing him.The mature and powerful look in Jenson's eyes was that of an adult's, his eyes ready to kill.The timid child was frightened, instantly hiding in his mother's arms.When the parent saw the source of her child's fear, she yelled at Jenson, "What are you staring at? Has your mommy never taught you that staring at people is rude?"The assistant felt sorry for Jenson and stepped forward to bail him out.Nancy pulled her back and said, "That child's ego is too big. It’ll be a good thing to let him learn something. Otherwise, his temper won’t change. If he stays that way, I’ll have a tough time when I marry into the Ares Family.”Jenson especially hated people saying bad things about his mommy; that kid's mother had stepped on a landmine."Don't you dare talk about my mommy!" Jenson snarled, rushing like a manic little wolf toward the woman who had spoken."Is this kid crazy? Who’s his parent? Can't you take
One after another, the onlookers began condemning the woman. "Exactly. You’re an adult, how could you bully a kid?”Seeing that the situation was escalating, the woman hastily whispered to Jenson with her beet-red face, "I'm sorry."Jenson said coolly, "No more scolding my mommy."Rose looked at Jenson and her eyes became moist.In Jenson's heart, Mommy was a divine existence. She owed the child too much.The woman quickly nodded and fled the scene.The matter was resolved. Rose held Jenson's shoulders and asked softly, "Jens, can I send you into the classroom?"Jenson looked at the school entrance and his steps slowed down significantly. There was a lot of reluctance in his eyes.Rose embraced Jenson in her arms.‘The child is clearly afraid of going to kindergarten, so why should he be forced to? Perhaps something bad happened before that made Jenson uncomfortable to be here.’Rose gently asked, "Jenson, you don't want to go to kindergarten?"Jenson nodded curtly.Rose su
"Why not?" Rose asked immediately."Quarreling with a classmate's parent and making the child skip school… And you still have the nerve to ask?" Jay gnashed his teeth, his anger that he was bottling up for the entire day was finally being vented.Rose's temper was also rising.It seemed that the sneaky Nancy must have snitched on her actions.Rose's face curled into a sneer. "Sir Ares, do you even know why I confronted that parent? Why I took Jenson out of school? It was because—"Jay interrupted her coolly, "I don't need to know why. What you’ve done was enough to show me how immature and retarded you are!"Rose retorted immediately, "I faced that foul parent because she hurt Jenson and criticized the way you raised him. Do you know how badly that could affect Jens?"Sir Ares, you have no right to criticize me before investigating what had happened first."Jay looked at Rose's adamant look and raised his eyebrows. After not seeing her for five years, her stupid mouth seemed t
Although Rose rushed straight to Horizon Colors, the congested road and the short time window caused her to be late again.Jay stood on the garden balcony on the second floor of the villa and stared at Rose rushing in. A sneer appeared on his cold face."Miss Rose, you’re late again."Rose heard the chilling sound coming from above her head and her soul almost left her body from fright. When she looked up to see Jay, she was greeted by that accursed smile of his.She panted and tried to catch her breath. All she could muster after a desperate sprint was a string of broken words. “Sir— Ares— The road— Driving…” After a few words, she began to breathe heavily.‘Sir Ares the road driving, huh? What a fascinating sentence.’Jay's handsome face turned as dark as coal."Can you speak properly?" he hissed.Still catching her breath, Rose gasped, "Sir Ares—— There were too many cars on the road—— That’s why——I'm—— late."Jay’s handsome face turned icy and he turned to head downstairs.
The two little kids secretly hid behind the stairs on the second floor and watched Rose and Jay's interesting debate.Rose, the opposer, was passive and lacked presence."Sir Ares, you always nitpick everything about me and you’re never satisfied no matter what I do. What about you? You let different women pick up and send your children to and from school, but have you ever stopped to think whether your ways may affect Jenson subtly?""Rose, my methods are decent enough. I don't need you to remind me. Also, the different women you're talking about are all Jenson’s relatives. You’re the one with the dirty mind. Why should there be a problem with what I do?” Jay said angrily."What about Nancy? How is she related to Jenson?”"Rose, you have no right to interfere in my personal life.""I don’t care about your personal life, but please keep your eyes open when you look for a girlfriend. Don't find an evil stepmother for Jenson. And if you ever plan to have another baby, can you try n
"Okay." Jenson nodded.Baby Robbie went down the stairs. When Jay and Rose heard the kid's footsteps, the quarrel between the two of them stopped abruptly.Baby Robbie walked toward the two people. He looked at Mommy's puffy red eyes and then looked back at Jay; he felt a wave of inexplicable anger at Daddy.He never dreamed that his Mommy's big bully boss would turn out to be his daddy that he thought about day and night.Although Daddy looked cool, handsome and rich, the person that treated him the best in the world was Mommy. He would never allow anyone to bully Mommy. Not even Daddy."Jenson. What are you doing down here? Go up quickly, Miss Nancy has to take you to kindergarten later." Jay looked at his son, frowning slightly. He seemed to see a bit of resentment against him within the child's eyes.That had never happened before.Baby Robbie walked up to Jay and raised his head.Jay froze.Jenson usually controlled his expression down to the tiniest detail in an almost o
