Jay was staring at Rose blankly. She had suddenly become obedient and pleasant. This call of ‘darling’ had ironed all the uncomfortable feelings in his heart and made him docile.“Third Uncle is still a patient, so let him be.” A soft smile overflowed from Rose’s dark glazed eyes, laced with a bit of coquetry.She had not looked at him with such innocence and admiration for many years.For an instant, Jay felt like he had gone many years back when he and Angeline shared a peaceful time.It was before none of the disasters had happened.Jay’s iron-clad heart began to melt, and when he spoke again, the aggressiveness in his voice vanished in thin air.“James, for the sake of my wife’s pleading, I won’t argue with you anymore.”Grand Old Master Ares and James were stunned.They did not expect the solution that they wracked their heads for to be resolved by Rose simply calling out ‘darling’.James shut his eyes speechlessly and did not bother to look at Jay again.With the uncle
Outside of the ward.Rose shrank her neck and leaned on the wall.The Ares family’s sharp eyes scanned her face as though they would not be satisfied if they could not extract detailed information from her.“Jay, who exactly is this little caretaker? Why do you treat her so specially?” Jay’s mother could not restrain the curiosity that welled from the bottom of her heart and asked.Jay looked at Rose with a quiet smile, carrying an adoring expression in his eyes.“Can I say it?” Jay asked Rose for permission.Rose recalled Sera had said that she wanted to marry Jay in front of Grandfather. This matter had made her feel a little uneasy.“Sir Ares, can I please have a moment with you?” Rose pulled Jay’s hand and walked to the other end of the corridor.“What’s the matter?” Standing by the edge of the stairwell, Jay asked uncertainly.Rose glared at him angrily, saying, “Sera said that she wants to marry you. You need to explain this matter to me.”Seeing her bulging cheeks, he
Jay straightened her face and forced her to face him.Rose grinned dryly and said, “Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and your younger brothers, aren’t they all Don Juans and Casanovas?”Jay, however, was being extremely serious. “Rose, explain to me the meaning of the word ‘all’?”Rose thought about carrying the title of Loyle family’s ‘idiot’. Elaborate words were not the specialty of idiots, so she pretended to be stupid and said, “There are only a few men in your Ares family, and three of them are fooling around. Can’t I use ‘all’?”Rose’s far-fetched explanation might be able to fool others, but Jay knew that she was possessed by Angeline Severe, the scholar. How could he be tricked by her?Since she was unwilling to be honest, Jay could only ‘extract a confession by means of torture’.“Rose, go back, look through a dictionary, and copy the meaning of the word ‘all’ a hundred times for me,” Jay said with a cold face.She nodded dully. “Oh, okay.”In the afternoon, Jay was called
Rose had a weak physique, so it did not take long for her to fall into a deep sleep.Jay stroked her palm-sized face, his slender fingers landing on her knitted brows.“Angeline, what kind of secret are you hiding? Can’t you tell even me?”He pondered about the men in the Ares family. His second uncle and third uncle had many love affairs when they were young. His fourth uncle, John Ares, was not married and was even more of a womanizer.Yet, Grand Old Master Ares and his father were men with lots of self-respect and self-discipline.Why did Angeline say that all men in the Ares family had a habit of having affairs?It was not as though Jay had never investigated the Ares family. Seven years ago, after Angeline got into the car accident, he had suspected that someone in the Ares family may have tampered with it. After all, his marriage with Angeline was an allegiance of strong forces. It was bound to threaten the interests of the other families within the Ares family.He had inv
Jay beamed with joy.After breakfast, Jay sent Rose to Grand Asia Hospital as usual. Before parting ways, Jay warned and said, “The elders of the Ares family will come to visit Third Uncle these few days. If they trouble you, remember to tell me. I’ll take care of them for you.”“I got it.” Rose smiled sweetly.As time was running out, Rose pushed open the door and got out of the car before running straight ahead.Suddenly, there was the sound of a Rolls-Royce car horn from behind.Rose turned her head in confusion and saw Jay’s gloomy face looking at her like he was an aggrieved woman confined at home.Then, he hooked his finger in her direction.Rose turned back and asked, “Hubby, is there anything else?”He suddenly hooked her head through the car window and kissed her to his heart’s content.He let go of her after a long time. “Next time, don’t forget the goodbye kiss,” he said.Rose became red in the face by this stunt of his. “Oh, got it.”The attention from the pedest
Rose laughed at the slander from Jay’s mother.She turned around and poured a glass of boiled water for Jay’s mother. She handed it to her with a smile, “Mom, have a glass of water.”Not only did Jay’s mother not appreciate her kindness, but she even raised her hand and poured the water on Rose’s face. “Rose, do you know how annoying your insolent look is?”The boiling water came in contact with Rose’s fragile skin, and she suddenly felt her face burning in pain.With both hands covering her face, she looked at Jay’s mother in pain and said in indignation, “Mom, no matter how much you don’t like me, I’m already married to your son. I’m the daughter-in-law of the Ares family. This is a fact that you can’t change. Don’t take pains to destroy me and Jay anymore!”Jay’s mother raised her head and laughed like she had just heard a big joke. “Rose, oh Rose. You’re indeed the most ignorant and the most foolish country girl of the Loyle family. I’ll tell you the truth. No matter which tim
She took the marriage certificate, faltering. Seeing the information on the marriage certificate, she was petrified.That was Angeline’s name, that was Angeline’s photo, and it was also Angeline’s ID number.Sure enough, he did not want to marry Rose Loyle.Rose cried bitterly.She tore the wedding photo and held it in her hand. She then put the marriage certificate back into the safe and carefully put it back.Then, she ran out crying.There were some things he did not say and had hidden them in his heart.Was it like an opened Pandora’s box that would cause her a fatal injury if he told her about it?Was it because she would never be able to look like how he wanted her to look?-------Grand Asia.Mr. Ares’ office.Jay had been sitting on his exclusive black leather swivel chair absent-mindedly all day.When Grayson entered and saw the corners of Mr. Ares’ lips lifted, he knew he was in a good mood.“Mr. Ares, your mother is here,” Grayson reported.Jay was a little st
After Grayson sent off Jay’s mother, he returned to Mr. Ares’ office. He saw Jay leaning on the sofa with his brows furrowed. Anger as hot as ice was trapped in his eagle eyes.“Mr. Ares…” Grayson stepped forward but stopped talking.“Speak.”Grayson then reported uneasily, “There was news from the medical department. Your wife is a little unwell today and left work early.”Jay straightened up, a look of worry appearing on his handsome face. “When did this happen?”“This morning.” Grayson’s forehead began to sweat.“Why are you only saying it now?”Grayson fearfully explained, “Mr. Ares, you had an emergency meeting this morning. I didn’t dare to disturb you.”Jay interrupted him rudely, saying, “Remember, from now on, my wife’s matters will always be the top priority.”“Yes,” Grayson said.Jay immediately picked up the latest Huawei mobile phone on the office desk, unlocked the phone, and dialed the number he had memorized by heart.The cell phone rang, and the familiar ‘Re
