The cold stare that Rose shot at him stunned him for a moment. He was puzzled as to why the girl’s gaze made him sense fear.Yosemite brushed that feeling away, adjusted his clothes, and left hastily.Rose quickly entered her grandfather’s room and saw that his tubes had been pulled out. Carefully, she connected them once again.All of a sudden, Old Master Severe opened his eyes. His gaze was that of an aged and frail, old man. Nevertheless, when he saw the girl squatting in front of him, a flash of delight flew across his eyes.“Angel...”He excitedly grabbed Rose’s hand. “Look for Jay... he is the only person that can help you... save Severe Enterprise!”Old Master Severe fainted from exhaustion upon finishing his sentence.Rose immediately called for the doctor. The doctor was indifferent toward Old Master Severe as he spoke in an annoyed tone, “The patient’s family left him here and only come every few days to pay the hospital bills. You can only blame the illness that he ha
A voice that was sexier than a news anchor. Rose could recognize the man from his voice, and she turned around in shock before staring blankly at Jay who had appeared out of nowhere.“Sir Ares?” Her shocked eyes were as wide as big bells, looking at him in disbelief. “Why are you here?”Jay stood still in front of her. Only a day had passed, and she was now thin and haggard in front of him. Her pair of chubby and cheerful cheeks had thinned a lot.His heart ached.Jay’s gaze shifted to Old Master Severe who was lying on the bed. His memory of an energetic and spirited old man had been replaced with one of a man that had no energy left in his muscles and was suffering from endless depression.“You want to save him?” Jay looked at Rose.Rose nodded.Uneasiness filled her heart. Jay was a man with meticulous thoughts. If he decided to probe further and ask as to why she wanted to save Old Master Severe, how was she going to answer him?“Rose, marry me, and I’ll save him,” Jay sole
Jay tightly held her hand in his and pulled it while praising himself, “I’m merely extending my care to the weaklings.”Rose glared at him. “I’m not a weakling, okay?”Jay smiled slyly. “If you don’t want me to categorize you as a weakling, become stronger and prove me wrong.”Rose looked at him bitterly. ‘If he hates me, he should stay away from me. Doesn’t he know that I don’t have any immunity against him?’She had made the difficult decision of leaving him. However, he had shamelessly barged into her life once more, making her defenseless.“Why are you here?” She asked him with suspicion.He held her hand and casually continued walking. While holding her hand, he felt as if the whole world was being held onto by himself. He was in a good mood, and his lips curled into a smile.“You haven’t told me why you are here?” He asked in return.Rose looked down. “Old Master Severe helped me once. Now that he’s in trouble, I want to help him in return.”There was a smile in Jay’s ey
At the thought that Jay did not like to sleepover at unfamiliar hotels, Rose went back to the hotel to fetch Baby Zetty. Then, they all returned to Imperial Capital that night.The four-wheeled drive sped along the dark highway. In the back seat, the three children were fast asleep; the backrest had been folded down to widen the seats.Meanwhile, Rose sat in the front passenger seat and looked out the window. The night sky was pitch black and not even a single star could be found. It was just like her heart that had fallen into endless darkness.“Sir Ares, don’t you feel like it’s a waste of time to marry me?” Her voice was so soft as if it had come from the wind.It brought along hints of hesitation and fear.She was helpless when it came to the unknown future.Jay’s firm voice replied, “I’d never do something that would waste my time.”Rose turned to look at him. His obsidian eyes were glowing brightly. “Why do you want to marry me?”“You want to know the answer?” Jay’s mesme
“...”She had a love diary, but that diary stopped ticking after 3650 days.A whole ten years!“If you don’t like it, you can change it.” Jay put it that way, but his voice was cold. It was obvious that he liked the name “Garden of A Diary”.Rose shrugged her shoulders. “As long as you like it.”The three children were fast asleep. Hence, Jay opened the door with the intention of carrying them out while Rose followed along.He passed the keys that were in his hand to her and said, “Open the door.”Rose turned toward the European-carving gates and opened the door.Jay woke Jenson and Baby Robbie up and then carried Baby Zetty out of the car.Once Rose unlocked the door, she turned around and was dumbfounded to see Jay carrying Baby Zetty, standing in front of her.“Sir Ares, let me do it!” Rose immediately offered.Jay said, “You’re still nursing an injury! Let me do it.”Then, he carried Baby Zetty and headed inside.Rose remained rooted in the same spot with a blank mind.
Grand Asia Medical Center.Jay entered the exclusive VVIP room with various renowned specialists and consultants from all over the world.The patient inside the room was none other than Rose’s grandfather... Old Master Severe.Jay had arranged for Old Master Severe’s transfer from Swallow City to Imperial Capital overnight. Additionally, he got all the related specialists to carry out a checkup for the old man. Their working diagnosis was... the old man had a rare illness: Hysteria Paralysis.The specialist of the related field informed Jay, “The old man is conscious, but his four limbs are paralyzed. Physical examination and other supplementary tests show that he co-morbidly has hypertension and ischemic heart disease which seem quite well controlled. His full-body paralysis could be related to the mental trauma he experienced seven years ago.”The specialist was holding on to Old Master Severe’s case notes while reporting and explaining the patient’s condition.Jay’s gaze lande
“Speak!” Jay barked.Grayson said, “President, don’t be angry. Old Master Bell had no remorse for his actions after the incident and even tried to bribe me just to accept any kind of scapegoat.”Jay slammed the table and broke one of its legs. Consequently, the table fell sideways.Grayson shuddered. ‘The president has not revealed his strength in a long time.’“Stanley Bell, since you want to spoil your daughter, don’t blame me for spoiling my wife in full force!”Grayson’s eyes widened. He did not understand the meaning of ‘spoiling my wife in full force’ that Jay was referring to.‘Wasn’t Rose the president’s most hated ex-wife?‘Why the sudden change in attitude?‘How much he hated her in the past was how much he doted her now?’Grayson felt that he needed to make amends with Rose once again, otherwise, the person that would receive the wrath of his president would be none other than himself.“Grayson, immediately remove all of Grand Asia’s investments and technology in B
Stanley Bell’s expression changed for the worse. The only person that had such control over Bell Enterprise’s shares was none other than Jay Ares.Only after a step too late did he realize that when all the investors pulled out from their project, it was not because the subsidiary companies were making their own decision. Instead, they had received orders from Jay.When he recalled the recent interactions he had had with Jay, even a fool could tell as to why Jay was attacking.“Master Ares, oh, Master Ares. How could you be so cruel toward Bell Enterprise just because of a woman? Don’t you know that women are the root of all troubles?”Nancy paled when she heard what her father had lamented. She felt that it was unfair. ‘That Rose Loyle is no match for me in all aspects. Not to mention, she’s from such a lowly background. Why would Master Ares treat her so well and even make Bell Enterprise his enemy?‘I’ve been showering him with my affection for so many years. However, I was una
