“So I was right, you did have a crush on me."Rose said, "Sir Ares, you were always on TV giving amorous glances to all the ladies. The number of women who have a crush on you is enough to form a complete circle around the earth. It’s perfectly normal for me to have a crush on you back then because I couldn’t resist your charm, alright!"He had been interrogating her for a long time and the answers he received from her were all watertight. He let go of her shoulders in frustration and staggered back onto the couch."Sir Ares!""Just leave!"Rose did not know what was wrong with him today as she was unable to make head or tail of any of the things he said tonight. Afraid that he would make things difficult for her again, she poured herself a glass of water and escaped.As soon as she ran up the stairs, she noticed that Jay had passed out on the couch."Are you okay, Sir Ares?" Still worried about him, Rose was left with no choice but to turn back.After placing her hand on Jay's
Under Josephine's continuous coaxing, pestering, and trickery, Rose no longer insisted and rushed to the hospital.Fortunately, the indicators of the blood test that the doctor did on Jay were encouraging, hence he was transferred to a general ward. When Rose entered the ward, she was greeted with a sullen look on Jay’s face and an unpleasant aura emanating from him.On the hospital bed next to him was a young female patient who had been staring at Jay like a love-struck fool.As soon as Rose entered, Jay became furious as he questioned her. "Why did you book me a general ward?"Seeing that he was a patient, coupled with Josephine’s words from earlier about how his company was running into problems, which was what was forcing him to socialize even though he was a bad drinker… Rose empathized with Jay from the bottom of her heart and consoled him in a good-natured way. "I wasn’t the one who booked you a general ward. The doctor was the one who made the decision based on the severity
"After all is said and done, you’re nothing but a pauper." Jay sneered.Rose did not want to start a fight with him, so she scurried to one side and started peeling apples for him. After slicing the apple into a few slices, she heated them up in boiling water before setting them in front of Jay.Jay stared at the steaming apple, a trace of imperceptible bewilderment emanating from his eyes.Angeline had the habit of heating up fruits in boiling water too.After placing the fruit plate on the side table next to him, Rose turned around and walked away. She stood very still at a spot very far away from him.She always made sure to keep a certain distance from him so that he would not find her distasteful.Looking at the Rose who was so heart-achingly obedient, Jay felt utterly confused and disconcerted.She remembered every single hurtful word he said to her and even obeyed his orders so well.If this happened in the past, he would certainly be pleased with her obedience. Today, h
"Add more spice in it." Jay reminded her on purpose.Rose stared blankly at him. In just two days, this man had eaten an extra meal, consumed alcohol, and was now asking for added spice. He was completely breaking his conventional diet habits. Was he only going to stop after he triggered his digestive disorders?Rose did not retort, though she deliberately bought him chicken soup when she went out to buy his meal.Jay stared at the bland chicken soup before examining Rose with an obscure and unfathomable gaze."You can’t be so poor that you can only afford chicken soup, right?" Jay mocked her.Rose explained in a hurry. "There are too many patients. There was only chicken soup left for breakfast today. Just try and put up with it."This hospital was very near to Grand Asia Hospital, hence most patients nearby would choose Grand Asia Hospital that was equipped with better and more extensive infrastructure. For that reason, business in this hospital had been immensely sluggish. Nee
"Please come inside, Mr. Ares." Old Master Loyle greeted their distinguished guest politely.Jay walked in a calm and composed manner into the Loyle residence’s living room as if entering the doorstep of his own house.Grayson brought him a chair and wiped the seat several times with a tissue. It was only then did Jay take a seat."To what do we owe this honor of your presence, Mr. Ares?” Old Master Loyle asked carefully."Old Master Loyle, do answer my question honestly if you don't want Loyle Enterprise to go bankrupt. If I’m satisfied with your answer, then I’ll consider giving the Loyle family a way out," Jay said faintly.Overwhelmed by the favor, Old Master Loyle said, "I’ll tell you all I know without holding back and answer all of your questions, Mr. Ares.""I want every information about Rose from birth up until now. Tell me everything you know." Jay stressed the word ‘everything’ in particular.Old Master Loyle was taken by surprise. "Every information about Rose?"Sy
Jay became attentive, staring at Madam Loyle with keen eagle eyes. "Which part in particular was strange?"Madam Loyle recalled the scene of the accident seven years ago very seriously. She was looking more and more uneasy."I have no idea how Angeline and Rose ended up together in that car accident. The two lay on the grass together. Angeline died tragically, whereas Rose was shielded in Angeline’s arms. Although her body wasn’t dismembered or mutilated nor looked as gruesome as Angeline’s, she was no longer breathing after the fall."When we rushed to the scene of the car accident, even the doctor had pronounced Rose dead. Who would’ve thought that after she was placed in the morgue for a day and night, she suddenly came back to life?! We were so terrified because we thought that we had seen a ghost!Old Master Loyle continued, "Now that you mentioned it, after that car accident, Rose seemed to have changed for some strange reasons. She no longer asked the Loyles for money and ev
Then upon hearing Grayson's theory of transmigration, his heart could not contain the hope and ecstasy radiating from his very being at this moment.‘Is that really the case?‘Did you really return, Angeline?’As soon as Grayson parked the Rolls-Royce at the villa's entrance parking lot, Jay pushed the door open eagerly without even bidding farewell to Grayson and hurried toward the villa entrance.Grayson looked at the somewhat abnormal Mr. Ares and shook his head helplessly. No matter what it was, Mr. Ares would lose control as long as the matter had something to do with Angeline.Grayson was already used to it.Jay pushed the door in. The spacious house was quiet and peaceful.Jay closed the door behind him, leaned his back against the anti-theft door, and took a quick hard breath. When he had soothed his surging emotions, he finally lifted his foot to walk up to the second floor.Standing at the corner of the stairs, Jay cast his eyes over Rose's room. Slowly and solemnly,
Rose protested. "Sir Ares, I spent only 2,000 bucks for your hospitalization fee. Why did you give me 200,000 bucks?"Rose grabbed the phone and was about to return the money to him, but Jay's broad hand pressed onto hers…When his broad hand was placed over her tiny hand, his touch that Rose felt on her skin had her pulling away nervously. Her earlobes flushed crimson at once.As Jay stared at the bashful Rose, a trace of smile emanated from his eyes."It’s for your living expenses." He explained.Rose's eyes widened. "For a year? That’s too much, don’t you think?"Jay corrected her. "For a month!"Rose, “...”"Are we supposed to eat caviar and oysters all day? Sir Ares, you may not be afraid of having indigestion, but the children will be too full from having too much to eat and end up with digestion problems." Rose looked at Jay with a concerned expression.Jay’s head hurt. Could she not tell that he was trying to lessen her burden in another way? This lass’ brain glitch re
