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
When they arrived at the kindergarten, the teacher asked other parents to bring their children home first. Hence, Jay and Rose could only stand on one side and wait.Jay was forced to go through an attention ceremony by the students’ parents. He wore an extremely sullen look on his face. He pulled a long face as he stood very still on one side.Rose was guilt-ridden now.Jay had always been the prodigy that others would wait for since he was a child. To have him wait for others today was probably a volcano eruption waiting to happen, right?"Sir Ares, perhaps you can head back first. I’ll stay here and wait..." Rose suggested guiltily.She had disciplined the two little devils when they did something wrong yesterday. Today, it seemed that her discipline methods had produced very little results.The homeroom teacher suddenly butted in and said, “Please stay, Mr. Ares. I’d like to have a word with you about the issues of the children’s education."Jay nodded.Rose's head dropped
Rose dropped her head. The children were clearly the ones who had done something wrong, yet why was she the one getting admonished instead?"I was wrong, Sir Ares," she replied feebly in a perfunctory manner.A trace of an inexplicable smile emerged in Jay's long and narrow eyes. He recalled the look on young Angeline's face when she was being admonished. Just like how Rose was acting now, she would hang her head and look as though it was the end of the world. She would listen in fear and trepidation as he reprimanded her.Jay shifted his gaze to the munchkins and reprimanded sternly. "We’ll go home right now."Baby Robbie and Jens followed behind Daddy like two walking zombies, sighing dejectedly.Rose held the hand of the tearful Baby Zetty and followed behind him restlessly.When they got home, Jay sat loftily on the couch. He crossed his long slender legs as he stared at the three munchkins standing in front of him with a dark countenance.Rose stood next to them, looking li
Baby Zetty burst into tears as she threw herself in Mommy's arms and wailed sadly."Mommy, my classmates said that I only have a poor mother and no rich father."Baby Zetty sniffed sadly as she choked with sobs. "The teacher said in class that this is called having the same mother but different fathers.""In order to stick up for me, Robbie scolded the group of children who laughed at me while Jenson argued with the teacher because of me.""It’s all my fault, Mommy. Robbie and Jens were scolded because of me. I’m not a good child."Rose felt as though she was pricked by needles after hearing what she said.Her biological father was clearly living under the same roof as her, but the sense of alienation he displayed in front of Baby Zetty had broken the child’s fragile heart over and over again. As a result, Baby Zetty was deeply affected when other students laughed at her for not having a father. That was why she was crying so sadly.Suddenly, she took Baby Zetty's hand and walke
Rose looked at Sean in astonishment. "What’s he doing here?"Jay looked completely speechless. He turned his head and interrogated Rose in a cold voice, "Weren’t you the one who invited him?"Rose shook her head. "Not me."The frost in Jay's eyes dissipated slightly. His long and slender legs strode forward as he marched out of the hollow iron gate between the floral brick walls in an awe-inspiring manner. When Sean saw Jay, he stood up straight and gazed at Jay with a charming smile."Sean, are you trying to be my gate pier stone? Why are you standing in front of my gate early in the morning?" Jay's enchanting peach-blossom eyes were stained with a faint smile.Sean's dazzling smile vanished without a trace. "Mr. Ares, you’re not the reason why I’m here at the Ares’ residence today. I’m here for the beautiful Ms. Loyle."Having said that, he darted a seductive glance at Rose who was following closely behind.Rose was so embarrassed that she was anxious to dig a hole in the gr
Rose was indeed curious to know why Stephanie had set her up when there was no enmity between them.Rose glanced at Sean and said, "Wait here. I’ll send the children to the kindergarten and come back as soon as I can."She refused to go with Sean for fear that others would get the wrong idea about their innocent relationship.Sean said in a sour tone, "You think I’m not good enough? Are you ashamed to walk with me?"Rose replied straightforwardly, "I'm worried that the rumors will hurt the children."Sean was slightly startled after hearing what she said, and a strange feeling rippled in his heart.He was moved!It was definitely a blessing for the children to have such a considerate mother.After all, he had never felt such warmth from his parents since childhood.From what he could remember, his parents had just quarreled endlessly in front of him ever since he was old enough to be sensible. His dad was out working hard to make a living and ended up having promiscuous relati
When Jay came to Grand Asia, Grayson had already been waiting for a long time.He criticized in his heart that Mr. Ares seemed to be coming in for work slightly later than before!After Jay sat down, he immediately pulled out a piece of A4 paper, picked up a pen, and wrote a series of numbers on it.Grayson looked at the phone number and asked in astonishment, "Isn't this Rose's phone number?"Jay handed it over to Grayson. "Check it."Grayson put on a dignified expression. The president did not explain in detail what exactly he wanted him to check. Would he only be satisfied after he had dug up everything single information about Rose?Grayson held the piece of paper with the phone number written on it and walked out. He handed it to the cybersecurity department and ordered with great urgency, "Tap into the telecommunications network immediately and retrieve all information linked to this phone number."Grayson propped his hands up on the table and said in an exceedingly stern
Grayson was startled. “Oh.”‘Mr. Ares has always disliked attending all kinds of high-profiled banquets, mostly because he hates being surrounded by women.‘This time around, Mr. Ares barely thought to reject Sean Bell’s invitation. He must surely have a little ounce of respect for the heir of Bell Enterprise.’“You’ll need a dance partner, Mr. Ares!” Grayson brought it up carefully.“A dance partner?” An image of Rose flashed through Jay’s mind.She had waltzed with him on the night of Josephine’s birthday banquet, and he remembered them being well-coordinated with one another.“Prepare an evening gown for Rose Loyle.”Grayson was so stunned by his statement that his jaw dropped. ‘Mr. Ares gets nauseous whenever Rose Loyle’s name was mentioned in the past. Now, he’s taking the initiative to ask the latter to be his dance partner?’Perhaps this was the opposite of the saying that went, ‘familiarity breeds contempt’?“Yes.”“Does Mr. Ares have any requirements for the banquet’
