Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 175

Jay was forced to shift his gaze to the portrait...

Apart from her skillful brushwork, there was not one single merit in her portrait sketch. When viewed separately, the person’s facial features were that of God’s masterpiece, though when they were put together, the result could be said to be that of a scene o f a car accident.

This certainly did not reflect Angeline's standard.

Jay shook his head, pushing back all the complicated thoughts in his mind.

How absurd. How could a rough and shameless woman like Rose be the perfect and beautiful Angeline whom he had taught?

Even professional art students would feel a deep sense of shame when they laid eyes on Angeline’s artwork.

Taking a second look at Rose's portrait now, it was as i f she was trying to draw a flying eagle with its wings outstretched but ended up handing in a drawing of a chick pecking rice instead. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Jay figured that he must have hit his head or gone blind, or maybe he just missed Angeline too much. Maybe that was why he had such a bizarre and absurd illusion.

"Just go!" Jay's head was a mess. He needed to calm down.

Rose made a break for it as though she was given a general pardon.

After the banquet, Josephine brought the three bundles of joy to Jay and said in high spirits, "Jay, your little munchkins made me look really good today. My friends were terribly envious of me!"

Jay stuck the portrait in his hand into Josephine’s face and said, "If I'm not mistaken, I think this person here is your friend?"

Josephine yanked the painting away, taking a glance before tossing it to the ground angrily. "We’re frenemies. When I had a crush on Zayne a few years back, she encouraged me to pursue Zayne but ended u p french kissing him after that."

Jay was not interested in listening to his sister's immature and melodramatic love story. He cut her off straight away. "She sent Rose to Sean's room today. This is one scheming woman right here. It's best if you stay away from her in the future."

Josephine exclaimed in shock, "Oh God. Rose wasn't bullied, was she?"

Jay replied in an unhurried tone, "She has never been better. Gave Sean a beating too."

Josephine immediately expressed her extreme admiration for Rose. "Mighty Rose!"

Baby Robbie picked up the portrait from the ground and pouted. "This is so ugly!"

Josephine hit Baby Robbie's forehead. "Ugly people will do all kinds of weird things to get attention, that's why you must get yourself a beautiful girlfriend in the future, Robbie."

Jay glared at Josephine. "Don't be a bad influence on the child."

Baby Robbie clarified. "I'm not saying that the person i n the portrait is ugly. I was referring to the drawing. It's ugly."

Jay felt that this was a god-sent opportunity to sow dissension between both mother and son. Making no attempts to hide anything, he said, "Your mother drew this."

Baby Robbie's glazed eyes widened as he cried out in disbelief, "Since when has Mommy started drawing so poorly? It's even worse than mine?"

Rose's guilty demeanor when she was drawing flashed across Jay's mind. He could not help but frown. Was Rose drawing poorly on purpose?

"Robbie, is Mommy very good at drawing?" Jay grew suspicious.

Baby Robbie nodded and said with a proud look on his face, "Of course. Mommy's paintings can sell for a lot o f money." 1

Jay's countenance changed slightly. A painting that could be sold was no doubt a masterpiece. However, the 'chick pecking rice' portrait in his hand could not even qualify for an entry-level standard portrait...

It seemed like Rose was intentionally hiding her talent in drawing.

Why was she trying to hide, though?

Jay’s already still heart was stirred up again as the unrealistic thoughts in his mind poured out once more.

"Let's go home." For some reason, he was actually dying to see her right now.

After parting ways with Josephine, Jay went straight home with the three bundles of joy.

It was nearly ten at night, hence Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie had dozed off in the car. Jay stared at the two children and eventually made the decision to pick up his own son.

Jenson looked at his daddy and shook his head helplessly.

"Daddy, you should be holding Zetty. That's what a gentleman does."

Jay pinched Jenson's nose. "A gentleman keeps his distance from the opposite sex who isn't related to him by blood."

Jenson shook Zetty awake. When Zetty opened her sleepy eyes and saw Daddy holding Robbie who was fast asleep, she let out a sigh.
