Josephine could not stop wiping away her tears. "Thank goodness you're safe, Jenson." Rose glanced at the door and was suspicious. "Baby Robbie, where's Daddy? Why isn't he here with you?" She thought that Jay would immediately come to her to discuss the child's custody rights. Baby Robbie hugged Rose. "Daddy came to save me, Mommy. I am so touched. I didn't meet him though, because I don't want to leave Mommy." Rose faltered. She sighed. "I'm sorry, Baby Robbie, Daddy knows about your existence now." Robbie saw how dejected Mommy looked and sighed like an adult. "Don't worry, Mommy. Even if Daddy wants to snatch me away from you, I won't leave your side no matter what." Mother and son hugged each other and cried, as though they were about to be separated forever. It was an emotional scene. "He won't," Jenson said suddenly. Josephine immediately switched to her trademark sharp tongue and chided Jenson. "What do you know, you brat? Your daddy is like a big ferocious tige
Josephine stood opposite Rose and said with determination, "My brother is going to take his son away. Rose, don't tell him your house number!""Josephine!" Jay gritted his teeth and shouted through the loudspeaker.Josephine was so frightened that her face turned green. She covered her mouth instantly and waved desperately at Rose.Rose was silent for a while before she said the house number into the phone, "House number 618."As soon as she told him, Jay hung up.Josephine collapsed onto the sofa and scolded Rose, "Why did you tell him your address? Rose, don’t you know that you’ll lose Baby Robbie once he gets here?"Jenson picked up a banana and stuffed it straight into Josephine's mouth. With a scornful look, he said, "You talk too much."Josephine sat up, pointed at Jenson's nose, and cursed, "Don't think I don't know you, little guy. You’re as calculating as your daddy. I know you’re on your daddy’s side—"Jenson angrily said, "No, I’m not."Josephine sneered. "Hehe, are
Jay suddenly squatted down and held Baby Robbie's face with both of his hands. His eyes were careful. He gave a look that yearned for Robbie’s acceptance, which made him look like an innocent and naive little boy.Rose observed the father and son cherishing each other with both joy and fear inside them. Jay’s love for his son was more profound than she had imagined it would be."Daddy," Baby Robbie suddenly opened his arms and plunged into Jay's arms.Jay hugged Baby Robbie tightly, his charming face blooming with a lovely and elegant smile.Josephine walked toward Rose. As if to give her some strength, she suddenly reached out and held Rose's hand."Daddy, I love you." Baby Robbie kissed Jay on the forehead.This action made Jay's heart throb. It also caught him off guard because he thought that with the unshakable hatred between him and Rose, the children she raised would also hate him deeply.Instead, Baby Robbie’s kiss and expression of love for him made him look at Rose with
Rose looked at him, staring at him blankly.He would never agree to remarry her.He was only determined to get Baby Robbie back.It was because he did not want to be the bad guy in front of the kids, so he threw the problem to her instead.He thought that Rose was weak and would obey him.Unexpectedly, Rose firmly said, "Sir Ares, five years ago, I took the initiative and gave up the custody of the child. I will never do such a foolish thing again."Jay looked at Rose with contempt, emphasizing every word he said next, “An Ares is always an Ares. All Areses will live together.”Both of them looked at each other, stubbornly and uncompromisingly.After a long time, Jay turned his gaze toward the child and asked softly, "So, which one of you will go with Daddy tonight?"Needless to say, those words were toward Baby Robbie and Jenson. Zetty was in tears in the corner.Baby Robbie took the initiative to hold Rose's hand. He could see how weak and helpless Mommy was when Daddy and
Jay felt that he was going insane. He had no reason to give up on such a cute boy like Baby Robbie. ‘No, I must find a way to snatch Baby Robbie tomorrow.’The next morning, Jay walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast and brought out a serving size enough for three people. Jenson looked at the extra plate before shifting his gaze to the dark circles under his father’s attractive peach eyes. He gave out a sigh.“Why are you sighing?” Jay was cutting the steak in front of him and asked Jenson without looking up.Jenson said with much sadness, “Daddy, when did you emulate Mommy by making an extra portion of breakfast? What a waste.”Jay was rather stunned. ‘Rose has such a habit? She also suffers from missing someone?‘No, it’s not the same.‘I’ve only gone through it for one day while she has been experiencing it for five years.’At that moment, there was a tiny ripple in Jay’s heart.“Jens, tell me, do you like Baby Robbie?” Jay looked at the extra portion of breakfast and
Jay sent a message to Rose, inviting her out to a café.Rose looked at that domineering message that said, ‘We should discuss Baby Robbie’s custody rights. Otherwise, I’ll have to use other methods.’Rose sighed heavily. Could she pretend that she did not see this message?Perhaps it was because of Rose’s late reply to his message that Jay gave her a call.Rose hesitated for some time before answering it reluctantly.Jay’s icy cold voice sounded across the line, “Rose Loyle, why didn’t you reply to my message? Avoiding me isn’t going to solve the problem.”Rose shot back meekly, “I’m not avoiding, I just didn’t know how I should reply to you.”Jay was stunned by that answer but only for a split second.He chided, “If you knew this was going to happen, why did you do so in the first place?”Rose trembled a little. That sentence was referring to the time she had sex with him against his will.Rose’s expression turned ugly and embarrassed. She felt fortunate that he could not se
Jay said with a straight face, “Rose, you give me Baby Robbie’s custody and I’ll allow you to keep your visitation rights for the first five years.”Rose widened her eyes in disbelief. ‘This is too absurd. He not only wants to take away Baby Robbie’s custody rights from me, but he also wants to take away my visitation rights in the future!’If this was tolerable, there would be no more intolerable things in this world!Rose stood up with her hands curled into fists as she placed them on the tabletop. With her body leaning forward, she emphasized each word through gritted teeth, “In your dreams.”The challenge in her eyes was very sharp.Jay remained as cool as a cucumber. He was a brilliant king of the business world. He had experienced many negotiations and met many negotiators. He felt that a lowly housewife like Rose Loyle was no match for him.“Name your price. How much before you’re willing to give up Baby Robbie’s custody?” Jay casually said.Rose felt that she was being h
She was wrong.He hated her strongly, he loathed her background, and he despised the fact that she could not see how lowly her status was.In the end, she was destined to become a joke in his heart from the moment she approached him.Rose left the steps and loitered along the busy streets in the city.After walking for a long time, her heart gradually quieted down.A stubborn feeling was boiling within her soul. She refused to admit defeat. The reason why Jay was looking down on her was that she did not have a proper job and substantial financial security.Financial security was the determiner for climbing up the social ladder. She was determined to retrieve back her lost dignity and decency. She was going to have to do that by building up her very own business empire.Rose’s drive for entrepreneurship was bubbling!There was a time where she had willingly hidden all her sharp edges for Jay’s sake. She was willing to humble herself by living in the mansion at Horizon Colors and
