Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 14

In any case, Rose would not have dared to identify herself to Jenson. Seeing him was already a blessing she was grateful for.

"I accept!" Rose said assertively, loud and clear as she stared into Jay's deterrent eyes.

Her gaze fell on the pen in Jay's hand but Jay tightened his grip on it as if he did not mean to lend it to her at all.

Unperturbed, Rose opened her delicate leather handbag to get a pen to sign the contract.

Jay watched closely as Rose took out the contents in her bag one by one and placed them on his desk. His eyes suddenly fell on the transparent cosmetic bottle and he frowned at the unusual foamy liquid inside it.

‘Pepper spray?'

Rose finally felt a pen at the bottom of her bag and put all the contents back inside, one by one. When she picked up the pepper-spray, she saw Jay' scoff.

"I thought only fragile bimbos carried things like that. I didn't know all women owned them!” Jay sneered.

Rose did not get angry but smiled instead. "I only take i t out rarely depending on where I go and who I meet."

A crack appeared on Jay's icy face. 'You dare get mouthy with me?'

"Just sign the contract and get out of here." Jay just wanted her out of his sight.

Rose grabbed the pen and signed her name above the dotted line. Her signature looked like chicken scrawling.

'I can’t bear to look at it!’ Jay thought incredulously.

Jay harshly belittled her, "Your handwriting looks just like you!"

Since Rose entered the room, he had been treating her with disdain the entire time.

In response, she scratched her initial signature off with two bold horizontal lines and proceeded to redo the signature next to it.

Her handwriting became vigorous and robust, magnificent and elegant, and had a powerful style.

Jay gaped at the signature in the lower right corner of the contract with surprise.

"Since when could you write like that? Why did you do it so badly just now?" Jay asked, confused.

"The quality of my handwriting is inconsistent," Rose sniffed. "My fonts come out differently depending on who's reading it."

Jay sneered, "Very well, you can leave now."

Rose flashed a confident smile and bid farewell to Jay, "See you again, Sir Ares!"

Jay stowed away the contract and an evil leer appeared on his handsome face. "Good luck, Rose."

Rose shivered. 'What was that supposed to mean?’

When Rose got home, she happily shared the good news with her kids. "Mommy found a new job. From tomorrow onward, mommy will have to go to work."

Robbie and Zetty looked at their mother pitifully." Mommy, we’re always looking forward to your food all day. Who's going to get us food when you're at work?

Rose had figured out a solution since the beginning," I've already contacted a very good kindergarten to enroll you two. You guys can go to school tomorrow!"

When they heard the declaration, the two kids whooped with joy. They loved nothing more than to meet new people and make new friends.

The next day, Rose woke her babies before sunrise and drove them to the gate of their kindergarten.

Since it was still very early, the school had not opened yet so the poor little kiddos were left stranded outside the kindergarten and had to wait. "Mommy, why do w e have to come so early?"

Rose looked anxiously at her watch. "Because Mommy needs to go to work. I'll be late if I don't go now." She did not want to leave Jenson with a bad impression for the first meeting.

Robbie and Zetty blinked their sleepy eyes. "Mommy, hurry up then! We can just wait for kindergarten to

open.”

Rose kissed her kids. "Have fun in school!"

In City South that blended into the horizon.

Jay and Jenson sat at the table while they enjoyed their breakfast: freshly ground soy milk and sandwiches.

Jay looked up at the clock on the wall-it was fifteen minutes to eight.

'If Rose is late, Jenson will have a terrible first impression of her.

'Yesterday, she was half an hour late. For someone with no time management like her... I look forward to Jenson giving her a special welcome.'

After breakfast, Jay explained to Jenson what was going to happen, though he spoke with ulterior motives.

"No matter how many shortcomings your new nanny has, promise me that you’ll bear with them. Daddy won't replace anyone for a month. Otherwise, you can forget about seeing your mommy!"

Jenson looked annoyed; the conditions were making him feel uncomfortable.

Even though the man restricting him was his beloved daddy.

When it was almost eight o'clock, just as Jay was sure that Rose would be late, the villa’s doorbell suddenly rang.

'A woman like Rose arriving on time?' He was caught b y surprise.

Jenson rushed to the door in his slippers and stood on his tiptoes to open the door latch.

Jay held his breath.

He really wanted to know what sort of chemistry would exist between Jenson and Rose when they met -Jenson was never good with guests.

When Jay did not hear the expected excited chattering from Rose, the silence outside became ominous.

Unnerved, Jay decided to walk over to see.

The sight that greeted him was a Lego Batman in Rose's hand and Jenson's eyes staring keenly at the gift. Jay's expression instantly changed.

He knew that Rose was an expert at buttering up people, but how did she know that Jenson loved Legos? On top of that, she got the Batman Lego series which was Jenson's favorite.

Rose looked at Jenson. At that moment, she felt that her dream of the past five years was finally granted but she could not help but find it bittersweet. 2 'Jenson looks exactly like Baby Robbie.

'But Jenson is covered with a cold and depressing

aura.

'It hurts my heart!

'Baby Robbie is like a summer day, always bright and laughing. What a kid should look like.

‘But Jenson is so reserved. Even after seeing his favorite toy, his eyes are indifferent and lifeless.’

Rose squatted down and gently rubbed Jenson's thick and soft black hair. "Do you like it?"

Jenson instinctively denied it, "No, I don't." He then turned around and walked away haughtily.

Jay leaned against the door panel and noted Rose's deflated expression. His grin grew wider.

Rose glared at him angrily. 'If it weren't for the genes o f this cold and antisocial jerk, Jenson would not have turned out this way,' she thought scathingly.

Rose entered the house through the familiar doorway and took the familiar route to the shoe rack to retrieve a pair of single-use guest slippers. Once she changed into them, she walked toward Jenson while carefully ignoring Jay.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
