Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 22

"Why not?" Rose asked immediately.

"Quarreling with a classmate's parent and making the child skip school... And you still have the nerve to ask? " Jay gnashed his teeth, his anger that he was bottling up for the entire day was finally being vented.

Rose's temper was also rising.

It seemed that the sneaky Nancy must have snitched o n her actions.

Rose's face curled into a sneer. "Sir Ares, do you even know why I confronted that parent? Why I took Jenson out of school? It was because—"

Jay interrupted her coolly, "I don't need to know why. What you've done was enough to show me how immature and retarded you are!"

Rose retorted immediately, "I faced that foul parent because she hurt Jenson and criticized the way you raised him. Do you know how badly that could affect Jens?

"Sir Ares, you have no right to criticize me before investigating what had happened first."

Jay looked at Rose's adamant look and raised his eyebrows. After not seeing her for five years, her stupid mouth seemed to have become more intelligent and the things she said were somewhat logical.

"So what’s the excuse for skipping school?"

Rose's face darkened.

"Jenson doesn't like going to kindergarten," she whispered, a look of pain in her eyes.

Jay stood up and his big, tall body instantly shrouded her in his shadow. "A failed son stems from an overbearing mother," he said severely.

Rose raised her sparkling bright eyes and tried to reason with Jay.

"Sir Ares, transfer Jenson to another school! Jenson is very resistant to going to that kindergarten. The children and parents there don't accept him well. This kind of environment won’t be conducive to Jenson's mental growth!"

Before Rose could finish what she wanted to say, Jay took a step forward, his 185cm from towering over the petite and lowly Rose.

He looked down at Rose like a mighty lord, contempt i n his eyes.

"Rose, you have no right to tell what to do. My Jenson i s not someone like you, one who runs and hides at the first sight of trouble. I've always taught him how to deal with difficulties."

Rose said imploringly, "Mencius’s mother moved three times so that her kid could have a good environment for education. Sir Ares, you should emulate Mencius's mother..."

"Rose!"

Jay roughly cut her off. "If you really understand how important the environment affects someone, then set a n example for Jenson. If you're late again tomorrow, don’t bother coming in." Jay finished his sentence and went upstairs.

"Sir Ares, I... I promise not to be late." All of Rose's stubbornness went out the window instantly.

Rose sighed helplessly as she looked at his back leaving firmly as if he was a king dominating her.

"And..." Jay hissed, standing on the stairs on the second floor, looking down at Rose, "You're not allowed to hang up my call in the future." 2

Rose answered weakly, "Got it."

Jay turned and left.

Rose raised her wrist and checked the time. Zetty and Robbie had long been let out of kindergarten.

Zetty’s fever got better after the infusion in the morning but the doctor said that there was a risk of it returning.

Rose was in no mood to argue with Jay at that moment so she quickly left the villa.

She rushed to the kindergarten anxiously and was again criticized by the kindergarten teacher for being late. Rose nodded, promised not to be late again, and bowed profusely before she took the two kids out of the kindergarten.

"Mommy, is it true that you don't love me anymore?"

Zetty was lying listlessly against Mommy's shoulders. She was still sick and her body felt uncomfortable. Normally, Mommy would not send her to kindergarten if she was unwell nor would she be late to pick them u

P-

Rose’s eyes turned red, grasping Zetty in one hand and Robbie in the other. Feeling guilty, she whispered," Mommy loves you, baby. Mommy loves you very very much."

Robbie looked at Mommy's tired face and felt heartbroken. He asked, "Mommy, is the new job tiring? Can you change to an easier one if Zetty and I stop having expensive new clothes, hobby

classes, and expensive snacks?

Rose squeezed Robbie's face with a smile. "Mommy's not tired. It was hard for me to get this job so Mommy has to stick to it. You guys can cheer for Mommy, okay?"

Robbie looked at Mommy who had tears in her eyes.' Yeah right, as if I'd believe that. Mommy looks embarrassed and sad. She must have got a tough task so she couldn’t leave work.'

Rose took the children home. She had been exhausted even before taking Zetty to the hospital for infusion.

After tossing and turning the entire night, she barely got a wink of sleep.

Fortunately, Zetty's fever did not return.

At dawn, Rose was so sleepy that she slept until halfpast seven.

As soon as she opened his eyes, Jay’s ruthless warning sounded in her head. 'If you’re late again tomorrow, don’t bother coming in.'

Rose quickly got up and packed everything as quickly as possible. However, time was running out. If she sent Robbie and Zetty to kindergarten, she would definitely be late.

Robbie seemed to read Mommy's thoughts. He went into the room carrying Mommy's handbag and said," Mommy, go to work quickly, Zetty and I already know the way to school. We can go by ourselves."

Rose hesitated. Robbie took out his smartwatch and Mommy's mobile phone. He turned both of them on and showed the shared location tracking system." Mommy, you can know where Zetty and I are anytime, anywhere."

Rose felt terribly bad but since Zetty and Robbie's kindergarten was close by and they had location tracking, she gritted her teeth and agreed with Robbie's suggestion. "Then please be careful on the way. Remember to tell Mommy when you get to the kindergarten safely."

Robbie and Zetty nodded obediently.

Rose took her handbag and ran out of the door.

After Mommy left, the two smarty pants immediately turned on the computer. It turned out that when Mommy was not paying attention, they secretly synchronized Mommy's mobile phone tracking system to the computer so that they could track Mommy's whereabouts.

"Quick, look! Mommy went to the Horizon Colors villa area." Zetty pointed to the little red dot on the Baidu Maps and shouted excitedly. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Robbie's obsidian-like eyes gleamed sharply.

Robbie said, "Zetty, take my watch to kindergarten later so Mommy won't worry. I’ll sneak into Horizon Colors to talk to Mommy's boss so that he’ll stop giving Mommy so much work every day."

"Okay. Good luck!" Zetty cheered.

The little girl’s illness seemed to have disappeared faster than it came; she was suddenly full of energy.
