Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 101

Jay sent a message to Rose, inviting her out to a cafe.

Rose looked at that domineering message that said, 'W e should discuss Baby Robbie's custody rights.

Otherwise, I'll have to use other methods.' Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

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. 1

Jay's icy cold voice sounded across the line, "Rose Boyle, 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 see her expression

right now, thus she could relax a little. "Okay. We’ll meet at ten o'clock." She finally went for it.

Jay hung up the phone decisively.

On the other hand, Rose slumped onto the ground. The disdain that Jay had against her stemmed from him not having any feelings for her. However, she loved him. It was like her pouncing into the flames. She would have no qualms even if she were to be swallowed by those heartlessly burning flames.

'Do I regret it now?’

Rose did not know the answer to that question. She just knew that since she had the bravery to commit a mistake, then she should have the bravery to face the consequences.

She patted herself awake and did a simple touch up b y applying some light makeup to cover up her exhaustion and haggard appearance. She needed to make herself more presentable.

Before Rose left the apartment, Josephine arrived at Exuberant City to bring Baby Robbie and Zetty out to play. Rose was very much at ease since Josephine was very enthusiastic about helping her take care of the kids.

When Rose arrived at the cafe, Jay had already been seated for some time.

When Rose walked up to Jay, his expression was very hostile. His gaze was glaring at her, shooting out daggers.

"I'm sorry for being late," Rose timidly said. When she pulled the chair next to him, she noticed that his eagle -like gaze squinted even more, showing an obvious loathing toward her actions.

Rose placed the chair in its original position and chose the farthest seat opposite him.

Jay's expression softened slightly. 'Thank goodness she knows her place.'

Rose was feeling a sense of displeasure. She was wondering what the fuss was about.

"Rose, I do not have much free time. Let’s get to the chase.

"I’m very much determined to get the custody rights for Baby Robbie. If you cooperate, I'll give you a sum of money which will be enough for you and your daughter to live a comfortable life. Of course, if you refuse to cooperate, then we will need to go to court. However, with option two, I don’t think you have the capability to fight against us."

He was like a high and mighty king looking scornfully at Rose who was like a defenseless ant.

Rose may be like an ant, but she was an ant with dreams. She may be a weed, but she was a weed that would set the prairie ablaze. She had Angeline Severe’s stubbornness and refusal to admit defeat, and she also had Rose Loyle's weak and delicate nature. Such contrasting personalities blended well to help her become a multifaceted woman. This was the new Rose Loyle.

At least, Jay would never be able to guess what her temper was going to be in the next moment.

Rose abruptly looked up. Her weak demeanor was no longer in sight. It was replaced with anger as she said, "Sir Ares, are you bullying the weak?"

Jay raised his brows, looking extraordinarily arrogant. "So what?"

He sat back against the black armchair. His slender and fair fingers were tapping on the table rhythmically. That relaxed yet dignified posture made him look very charming and confident.

Rose did not know how to react to his blunt admission, thus she could only respond unyieldingly.

"You've said that you’re busy, but children need their parents to be there for them as they grow up. Do you even have the time to accompany them after stealing away Baby Robbie’s custody?"

Jay laid his gaze fully on Rose. 'It’s unexpected of her t o think about that.'

"I admit that I won't have much time to accompany them, but I can hire the world's best and outstanding tutors for them, giving them the best resources. Unlike you. What can you provide them other than a small house and unhealthy instant noodles?" Jay said righteously.

Rose was not about to admit defeat as she corrected him. "I don't give the kids instant noodles. What we eat is called plain Yang Chun Noodles."

Jay chuckled. "Is there a difference? Rose, eating plain Yang Chun noodles will affect the children’s growth. D o you want them to be a dwarf like you in the future?"

Rose nearly choked on her saliva. She might be petite, but her height was at least 1.6 meters. How could he call her a dwarf? i

Rose was not going down easily. "Jens eats delicious and luxurious food all the time with you, but I don't see him any taller than Baby Robbie."

Jay was rendered speechless at that moment.

After a pause, Jay looked at her with disdain and mockery. "You'll have to blame your substandard genes." 2

This was a blatant personal attack on her. Rose's expression turned sulky and angry.

Jay realized that he had made a stupid move.

Regardless of his lack of feelings for this woman, she was his sons’ mom. To degrade her like this was degrading his sons as well. 1

In his point of view, Jenson and Baby Robbie were the world’s cutest babies. They were a world of difference compared to Rose.
