Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 239

The clock on the wall continued ticking.

It was almost time to pick up the kids from the kindergarten. Jay glanced at Rose who was slumped o n the couch. He quietly stood up and walked toward the door. "I'll pick up the kids."

Rose looked at him with extreme gratitude. "Thank you so much!" She did not feel like moving for the rest of the day.

She received a call from Sean not long after Jay left.

"Are you free now, Rose? I'd like to talk to you."

Rose walked toward the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room. She pulled the blinds away and saw Sean's Ferrari outside, parked next to the road.

"Alright, I'll come now," Rose ended the call and went briefly lost in thought.

She had her reasons for getting close to Sean. Her conscience made her uneasy.

The furniture installer was done with assembling the bed. He politely said goodbye to Rose. "The bed is ready, Miss. If you have any other problems with it, you can call the customer service number."

"I'll send you out."

Rose and the furniture installer took the elevator

downstairs.

At the entrance of Cloudy Dreams, Sean was dressed i n a white suit and looked like Prince Charming. He was a dazzling sight in the dim twilight.

Sean smiled when he saw Rose. "Rose!" He greeted her.

Rose smiled timidly when she saw Sean. "It's rare that you come and look for me. Tell me, what are you here for?"

Sean nodded and said, "Follow me. I'll treat you to supper. We can sit down and talk at length."

Rose hesitated but eventually followed Sean in his car anyway. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Jay saw Sean's car leave when he was on his way home with the children. He noticed the familiar figure in the backseat, and his gaze instantly turned ice-cold.

"It's Uncle Sean! Mommy is dating Uncle Sean!" Zetty cheered.

Robbie stared at Zetty unhappily. "That's nothing to be happy about."

"Uncle Sean is so nice toward Mommy. She will finally be happy if she marries him," Zetty said.

Jay looked at Zetty and tried to scare her. "Aren't you afraid that if that happens, your stepfather will abuse his stepchildren? Maybe he won't let you eat or buy new clothes for you, and he'll lock you inside the house."

Zetty lifted her chin and rolled her eyes at Jay. "I've only heard of evil stepmothers, and never of evil stepfathers."

"You're ignorant," Jay retorted mercilessly.

However, Zetty was much smarter than he thought. " You're the only Evil Demon King who would do that. Uncle Sean won't!" She retorted.

Jay's expression sank.

He knew that he was usually aloof and detached, but h e was not as evil as what Zetty said!

"Evil Demon King. Who gave me that nickname?" Jay furrowed his brows unhappily.

"Me," Zetty said softly, n h

"I see that you are your mother's daughter. You might look gentle and innocent, but your heart is as black as ink," Jay said frustratedly.

'What a sly little girl!'

Jens held Daddy's hand. "Daddy, Zetty is still young. Don't argue with her."

Jay did not want to argue with the little girl, but her mouth was relentless. She was the biggest obstacle between him and Rose. He had a headache just thinking about it. 1

Jay brought the three children home, feeling restless for the rest of the journey. He made some spaghetti for them, but Zetty pushed her plate away. "I don't like noodles without soup, Uncle Jay," she said snobbily.

Jay knew that the little bun was throwing a tantrum because he wanted to break up Rose and Sean.

He took her plate and emptied the spaghetti onto his plate. "If you don't want to eat, then you can starve," he said mercilessly.

Zetty grabbed her doll and walked away huffily. She sat on the couch and watched TV.

Robbie and Jens looked at their childish Daddy and their prideful sister. They shook their heads helplessly and continued stuffing the spaghetti into their mouths.
