Josephine turned to Jay once again. "Big Brother, why’d you hang up my call?" "Isn't it annoying for one’s sleep to be disturbed so early in the morning?" Jay's tone still contained a hint of unhappiness after being disturbed.Josephine, "..." "Big Brother, it's already late in the morning. Is it still considered early?" "Don’t you understand marital bliss?" Her brother’s expression was dark.Josephine’s elegant face twitched. "Got it. I'll pay attention next time."“What are you doing here again?" His attitude remained cold. Josephine felt that her elder brother was treating her unfairly, so she sniffed sadly. "I'm here to see you guys.""Since you’ve seen us now, can you go back?" Jay was not in a good mood when in front of this woman who had not explained sincerely.Josephine immediately took Rose's arm and asked, "Big Brother, can I take Sister-in-law out to hang out?""No." The refusal was decisive."Why?" Josephine and Rose protested in unison."I'm afraid you’ll
Jay glanced at Rose who was silent on the side, his voice becoming inexplicably warmer. "She’ll have me to take care of her if she becomes disabled."Josephine, "..."Rose, "......"What kind of logic was this? "You’re being partial," Josephine muttered.Jay held Rose's hand in front of Josephine and said, "It’s my duty to love her."Josephine rolled her eyes a few times, picked up her plate of food, and walked out. "I can't stand this."Rose pulled her hand away and murmured with dissatisfaction, "Sir Ares, Josephine just fell out of love. We’ll hurt her if we put on this show in front of her."“Are we putting on a show?" He raised his eyebrows, questioning her.He had been so serious about marrying her, yet she thought it was an act?“Aren’t we?" Rose asked.As he took a bite of the scone, the expression on his handsome face was darker than the bottom of a pan.Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Rose, who had initially wanted to open her mouth to request to leave, did not
Rose took Josephine's hand and said with a smile, "Sir Ares, ladies first."At this, Jay’s handsome face froze.He had been repeatedly abandoned by his newlywed wife and his all the while proud heart could not avoid the serious damage."Go ahead." He pretended to be magnanimous.Josephine and Rose left happily.Jay watched their retreating back as his eyes sunk.The surrounding scenery of Garden Of A Diary during winter was a little bleak. Those ginkgo trees, lush and verdant during spring and summer, were swaying in the wind at this moment. The golden ginkgo leaves were spread thickly on the ground while the bare trunks looked like fangs and claws.Only those blue jacaranda trees were as green as before, upright as a mountain but extremely lonely and bleak.Jay was a little regretful. If he had known that the garden would be so bleak in winter, he would have planted evergreen plants instead.The garden without its mistress seemed even more deserted.Jay wandered around the c
"If your wife isn’t home-loving, it may be that she’s young and her childlike innocence likes to play. Maybe her mind is not in this home. To be precise, she doesn't love you enough."Jay asked, "Then, what should I do to make her like this home?""Women are actually very contentious. If you treat her well, she’ll become proud as a result of being pampered. Appropriately giving her some sense of crisis can not only test her sincerity toward you but also make her reflect on her conduct and deeds so that she can become a qualified wife." Jay listened very carefully.......In the evening, Rose dragged her exhausted body back to the Garden Of A Diary. During the day, Josephine had taken her to Tourmaline Estate, but unfortunately, the gate of Fragrant Vessel Court was tightly locked and the surrounding defense measures were also sealed very tightly that even an ant might not be able to climb in.They went in high spirits but returned in disappointment!Rose pushed the door to
"Have you had dinner?" he asked lightly.Rose shook her head. In fact, she was so hungry that her chest was stuck to her back. She had deliberately come back early so that she could have dinner with him tonight.She did not expect to witness a heartbreaking scene instead."I'm going to make dinner." Rose jumped off the bed and ran away.Staying with him for even an extra second hurt her heart so much that she could not breathe.One corner of the quilt had carelessly fallen to the ground. Jay leaned over and pulled it up. He laid out the quilt for her and when he was arranging the pillows, he inadvertently touched the part of the pillow that was wet with tears.Jay froze for a long time.Had this silly girl cried?The ice in his cold heart suddenly broke and was instead filled with a deep sense of self-blame.His method of testing her was a bit too cruel.Jay hurriedly went downstairs and stood outside the kitchen. His eyes were locked on Rose's beautiful face, which was bleak
Dinner.Rose had made some noodles.When she was cooking, Jay reminded her aggrievedly. "I haven’t had dinner either."Rose looked at him blankly. "Who are you trying to fool?""I threw the steak into the trash."Her gaze fell on the trash can and when she saw all the props from the candlelight dinner inside, her face turned red.Did she really overreact today?Rose handed the bowl of noodles into Jay’s hand. "You can eat first. I'll cook another bowl."He said, "I can't finish it. Why don't we eat together?"Startled, she nodded.A bowl of plain noodles and two pairs of cutleries.Just like this, the two of them took a bite one after another.Rose took a bite only to find out that she had forgotten to put condiments into the noodles.It was plain like water and tasted like they were chewing wax.She secretly glanced at Jay, thinking that he would dislike it, but she did not expect him to eat it as if it was good.Rose bit her cutlery in perplexity. What show was this gu
Jay walked into Rose Manor with a sullen expression as the noisy manor suddenly became silent with his arrival.His eagle-like gaze swept over everyone present. All three wives and their respective sons and daughters were here. It was almost everyone.James looked at Jay with a cold expression. "Jay, this is my family’s affair. It has nothing to do with you."When Jay was 28 years old, Grand Old Master Ares had felt that his body was declining, so the management of the Ares family's affairs was transferred to Jay.This decision had aroused strong opposition from his uncles at the time. After all, they were the elders, yet they were to be controlled by the younger Jay.However, Jay had quickly grasped everyone by their wrists and subdued them. In the past few years, the Ares family had calmed down a lot.Only in recent years as the children from the different families gradually grew into adults, they once again began to stir things up. It was not only those from the third wife’s f
Rose really could not listen to things any longer. She could tell that no matter how many things James did to disappoint the third lady, the third lady would never leave him."Another unhappy couple!" Rose exclaimed.She wanted to go over to comfort the third wife, but Josephine held her hand all of a sudden and blinked at her.Rose came back to her senses immediately. Josephine wanted her to take the opportunity to leave here and go to Fragrant Vessel Court to search for the answer she wanted.As such, the two sneaked off.Jay's gaze inadvertently caught the backs of the two little women sneaking away. His eyes darkened.“Sis Angeline, I completely betrayed my brother for you." Josephine was a little sad when she said this.Rose did not want her to feel bad and threw her hands. "Josephine, your brother doesn’t dislike you. You don't have to go through the muddy waters with me. Why don’t you go back?"Josephine then patted her chest loyally and said sharply, "That won't do. You
