Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 223

In Grand Old Master Ares' heart, Jay was his greatest pride and joy. He had brought him up to be the perfect heir. He would not allow that salacious girl, Rose, to be the only stain in his son’s reputation.

"Letting her stay here isn't a good idea. Two single people like you two staying in the same room together might give the wrong impression to some people," Grand Old Master Ares said looking at Jay, his voice cold and strict.

"Grandfather, Jens needs a mother, and Baby Robbie needs her more. She has to stay here. I need her too."

Jay had always been a man of strong opinions.

Grand Old Master Ares looked into Jay's eyes and saw the faint glint of resolution that had not been there before. He knew Jay too well. Once he made up his mind about something, he would be persistent and obsessed with carrying it out.

He would persevere with his decision, no matter the cost.

"The illegitimate daughter of the Loyle family who has been divorced twice. Why does it have to be her?" Grand Old Master Ares asked in exasperation. He was deeply disappointed with Jay.

Jay looked to the skies while searching for an answer and said, "She’s the only one who can manage my

emotions."

It was then that Grand Old Master Ares realized that Rose was the only person who could bully his beloved grandson without having any consequences inflicted upon her.

He went into deep thought before helplessly sighing and saying, "Go and get her to come inside."

There was no hatred or anger in his voice. He was like a defeated lion who could only accept reality in dismay.

Jay got up from the couch and went toward the back garden.

Rose was restlessly waiting for Grand Old Master Ares' 'verdict'. Josephine was by her side trying to comfort her. "Sister-in-law, don't be worried. My grandfather only acts tough, but he's soft on the inside. You’re not even afraid of my brother, so why would you be afraid of my grandfather?”

"Who said I'm not afraid of your brother? Don't you see how much I try to flatter him?"

Jay was standing behind Rose. His face turned dark the moment he heard what she said.

"You're afraid of me?" A sudden whisper came from behind Rose. She immediately turned around in shock.

Seeing Jay's fierce scowl, Rose promptly tried to put o n her brightest smile.

"Sir Ares, I'm not afraid of you. I respect you," Rose

said guiltily.

Josephine was amazed. Her sister-in-law really had a knack for adapting to situations.

Jay let out a sarcastic cough, obviously unconvinced b y Rose’s words.

That was when Rose’s nerves started to heighten.

She was caught saying bad things about him behind his back! There was no way she was going to get out of this one.

Unexpectedly, Jay's expression softened. "Come inside with me."

Rose followed, her head facing down. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Josephine wanted to join in and tiptoed behind Rose. However, just as they were about to enter the house, she was shut out by Jay. Her nose was hit by the door.

"Brother, my nose. I think it might be bent already," Josephine said in agony while clutching her nose.

After a few seconds, Jay opened the door.

"If you don’t like the genes our family has, look closely when you’re reincarnated in your next life. Don't choose our family.”

Josephine’s parents fired looks of disapproval at her.

"It just touched my nose," she said, ashamed.

Just as she was about to make her way through the door, Jay shut her out again.

She could only place an ear on the side of the door to try and listen to the conversation taking place inside. Jay led Rose toward Grand Old Master Ares.
