Ch. 21..30

Chapter 21

One after another, the onlookers began condemning the woman. "Exactly. You're an adult, how could you bully a kid?" Seeing that the situation was escalating, the woman hastily whispered to Jenson with her beet-red face," I'm sorry."

Jenson said coolly, "No more scolding my mommy."

Rose looked at Jenson and her eyes became moist.

In Jenson's heart, Mommy was a divine existence. She owed the child too much.

The woman quickly nodded and fled the scene.

The matter was resolved. Rose held Jenson's shoulders and asked softly, "Jens, can I send you into the classroom?" 1

Jenson looked at the school entrance and his steps slowed down significantly. There was a lot of reluctance in his eyes.

Rose embraced Jenson in her arms.

'The child is clearly afraid of going to kindergarten, so why should he be forced to? Perhaps something bad happened before that made Jenson uncomfortable to be here.'

Rose gently asked, "Jenson, you don't want to go to

kindergarten?"

Jenson nodded curtly.

Rose suggested, "Then why don't I take you to the amusement park?"

Jenson's handsome face looked a little wary.

It was true that he did not like going to kindergarten but he was equally reluctant to get along with strangers. 1

Rose was not yet considered a proper acquaintance!

However, when he saw how sincerely Rose was treating him, Jenson lowered his guard and nodded.

Rose lifted Jenson and whooped, "We're going to the amusement park!"

"No! You can't take Jenson away, he should go to school." Nancy suddenly obstructed Rose and angrily reached out to grab Jenson.

Jay asked her to send Jenson to the kindergarten and that was what she had to do.

Rose was so focused on Jenson that she had been paying very little attention to Nancy. She turned to look at her properly.

Although Nancy wore office clothing with a white blouse and black skirt, her natural beauty showed through despite the common garments. She looked fairly open, intellectual, and elegant.

"Who are you?" Rose only just thought of asking who the woman was.

Nancy raised his chin and said, "My name is Nancy and Jay is my fiance. I'll be Jenson's stepmother soon!"

Rose was stunned!

'This is Jay's type?

'She looks smart, but maybe that's not a great thing. She only cares about pleasing Jay and was neglecting Jenson.

'The more she goes against Jenson, the more Jenson will hate her. Without Jenson's approval, Jay's marriage will be indefinite.

'She should know that the Ares Family takes its nextgeneration very seriously.'

Rose kindly reminded her, "Since you're going to be Jenson's stepmother, you should learn how to make the child happy."

Nancy huffed, "You're just the nanny. You have no right to point fingers at me!"

"I'm giving you advice with the best intentions. If you don't get the kid's approval, Sir Ares won't marry you." Rose said calmly. Nancy stared at Rose. Rose exuded an aura like an orchid that did not need soil to grow.

'Is this type of woman that gets men excited?'

Nancy was inexplicably hostile to Rose. "You seem to know Jay very well. Could it be that you have feelings for him?"

Rose felt her heart freeze up in that instant. 1

It had been a long time since she last thought about her love for Jay. Was it sealed deep inside her heart or had it corroded into hatred from his repeated abuse?

"You can rest assured that I'd marry a chicken or dog before him," Rose said firmly.

He was the unreachable moon and the stars while she was just a shadow in the ditch. A union between them would never be.

Nancy felt rather relieved. 'At least this woman knows her place,' she thought. Glancing at the expressionless Jenson, she said with a voice of authority, "Jay asked me to send Jenson to school so I'm afraid he'll have to stay here."

Jenson's body trembled in Rose's arms.

Rose could feel the child's resistance and anxiety. She said crossly, "Miss Nancy, no one is allowed to force him to do things he doesn't like as long as I'm around."

With that said, Rose took Jenson away.

Annoyed, Nancy hurried to call Jay. When the line was connected, Nancy immediately complained, "Jay, the nanny you hired is a damn shrew!"

Jay's eyes narrowed coldly. "What happened?"

"She had a quarrel with one of the student's parents and it got ugly. I tried to advise her but she told me off and even forced Jenson out of school to play." 1

Jay's handsome face darkened instantly.

Rose's sense of inferiority as an illegitimate girl from the countryside seemed to be deeply ingrained in her. Jenson would inevitably be adversely affected by her influence. Right then, Jay felt that hiring Rose into the house might have been a big mistake.

City South's largest amusement park was Happy Valley.

Just as Rose purchased Jenson's entrance ticket, she got a call from Jay.

"Rose, immediately send Jenson back to the kindergarten. Right now." Jay's spat the order from over the phone.

Rose looked at Jenson and saw that the kid's eyes were filled with longing and joy. Rose gritted her teeth and hung up the phone.

When Jay realized she hung up on him, his beautiful face froze into a block of ice.

He called Rose again. When she picked up, she answered with fake innocence, "Sir Ares-I'm so sorry, the line's poor here. What did you say-Huh? I can't hear you. I'll return your call when we're back." She cu the phone off without hesitation.

Jay,

Did she just pretend that the call was breaking up before he could get a word in?

When he tried to call her again, her phone was apparently turned off.

Jay was so mad that he choked, "Rose..." he growled.

Meanwhile, when Jenson stepped foot into Happy Valley, he looked amazed. His daddy was almost always busy. During the rare free time they had, the father and son would often stay at home to build Legos, learn programming, or play esports.

Rose took Jenson on the pirate ship ride, the merry go round, the bumper cars, surfing, and even the haunted house... then shooting games...

After they were done going through nearly all of the attractions in the amusement park, Rose finally brought Jenson home with their arms full of prizes.

Jay sat on the sofa with a stony face and waited for them. When Rose and Jenson walked in and stood before him, they bowed their heads like kids caught doing something wrong.

Jay reached out and patted Jenson's little head, directing whatever little good temper he had left to his son.

"Jens, go upstairs and take a shower. Daddy has prepared the bath for you," he said curtly.

Jenson shot Rose a tentative look and said to her unexpectedly, "Good luck."

Then, he went upstairs.

As soon as Jenson left, Jay's handsome face dropped the calm facade and became annoyed. "Rose, you won't be coming in tomorrow," he said coldly.

Chapter 22

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 on 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 in his eyes.

"Rose, you have no right to tell what to do. My Jenson is 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.

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.

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Although Rose rushed straight to Horizon Colors, the congested road and the short time window caused her to be late again. Jay stood on the garden balcony on the second floor of the villa and stared at Rose rushing in. A sneer appeared on his cold face. "Miss Rose, you're late again."

Rose heard the chilling sound coming from above her head and her soul almost left her body from fright. When she looked up to see Jay, she was greeted by that accursed smile of his.

She panted and tried to catch her breath. All she could muster after a desperate sprint was a string of broken words. "Sir-Ares- The road- Driving..." After a few words, she began to breathe heavily. 'Sir Ares the road driving, huh? What a fascinating sentence.'

Jay's handsome face turned as dark as coal.

"Can you speak properly?" he hissed.

Still catching her breath, Rose gasped, "Sir Ares- There were too many cars on the road- That's why--I'm-late."

Jay's handsome face turned icy and he turned to head downstairs.

After a few minutes.

Jay sat on the sofa and his long, slender legs were crossed as he stared at Rose.

"Since you're late, what do you think I should do with you?"

Rose vividly remembered the warning he gave her yesterday. If she was late again, she did not have to bother going to work in the future.

If Rose met a foul boss like him at another job, she would have quit the job as fast as possible.

However, this job was different. She had to make up for the years she denied Jenson. She would rather die than lose her job.

She was not afraid of death and shame was something she expected.

At this moment, Rose said boldly, "Sir Ares, it's my fault."

Jay sneered. "If simple apologies worked, what's the point of the law?"

"Sir Ares, since I'm thirty minutes late, you can increase my working time for free. I won't complain."

Jay's lips twitched. "Increase your working time? Isn't that just what you'd want?" "You can also not pay me!"

Meanwhile, outside the villa.

A small figure walked carefully around the dense and thorny garden.

After circling almost the entirety of the villa, he still could not find the entrance. In the end, he slid into the basement via the garage entrance.

In the basement, there was an elevator that went directly to the third floor of the villa.

However, the elevator doors could only be unlocked with a fingerprint scan. He put his tiny hand over the lock and infrared rays scanned his fingerprint. Immediately, the elevator door popped open. Baby Robbie was dumbfounded.

He looked at his little hand and exclaimed, "Woah, did God give me a pair of universal fingerprint unlocking hands?" 3

After entering the elevator, Baby Robbie chose the second floor as he did not like odd numbers.

When he exited, he found himself in a beautiful roof garden. The garden was surrounded by three walls and had a strong feeling of privacy.

Baby Robbie was attracted by the bright and colorful flowers and plants in the garden as well as the weird playground equipment. It was something he had never seen in a public playground. The super long and twisting slide looked especially

fun. Robbie could not resist the temptation. He climbed up the slide and slid down the twisting chute.

"Who are you?" a cold voice suddenly said.

Baby Robbie was so frightened that he lost control and tumbled to the ground as soon as he landed and his little butt plopped on the green lawn.

He looked up in front of him but saw nobody.

He turned to look behind him and yelped the moment he saw Jenson.

"Ah!"

When Jenson saw Baby Robbie, his stern handsome face looked confused.

Baby Robbie walked over and instinctively reached his hand out to touch Jenson's face and the clothes on him. His first reaction was to mutter, "Is this a mirror?" 1

However, Robbie could feel the person in front of him and realized it was no mirror. He only said that because he noticed that the boy who looked exactly like him was wearing different clothes. "Who are you?" Baby Robbie asked Jenson curiously.

Jenson asked back, "This is my home. I should be asking you this question."

Baby Robbie openly said, "My name is Robert. What about you?" "Jenson," he replied coldly.

The two children looked at each other's faces seriously and it was obvious that they were both shocked by the similarity of their appearance.

"We must be twin brothers." Baby Robbie concluded.

Jenson nodded.

Baby Robbie stretched out his arms and said happily," Although I don't know if I'm your older or your younger brother, we should hug now that we've met. Pleased to meet you." Jenson was stunned. This was probably the first time that another kid had treated him nicely.

While he was hesitating, Baby Robbie took the initiative to hug him.

"What are you doing here?" Jenson asked again.

Baby Robbie scratched his head with embarrassment. "I'm looking for Mommy so I snuck in here. Don't tell Mommy, okay?" 1

Jenson was dumbfounded. "Rose is your mommy?"

Baby Robbie nodded. "She's your mommy too."

Jenson's handsome little face immediately scrunched up in anger, as if he just found out he had been pranked.

Noting Jenson's displeasure, Robbie reached out his little hand. "Jenson, what's wrong?" "Why does Mommy only want you but not me?" Jenson mumbled dejectedly.

Baby Robbie frowned; it was not a question he could answer. However, Baby Robbie suddenly thought of something and sighed sadly. "What's the matter with you?" Jenson shot.

"My mommy is your mommy. Your daddy must be my daddy. Maybe Mommy wanted me and not you, but why did Daddy want you but not me?"

Jenson was stunned.

The two children wallowed moodily for almost half the day before Baby Robbie finally suggested optimistically, "Jenson, don't be sad. Mommy and Daddy must have been sad to make their decision. We have to believe that they love us. Look, didn't Mommy come back to see you? You're luckier than me! I've never even seen Daddy!" 1

Jenson grabbed Baby Robbie's hand. "Come with me, I'll take you to them."

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

The two little kids secretly hid behind the stairs on the second floor and watched Rose and Jay's interesting debate.

Rose, the opposer, was passive and lacked presence.

"Sir Ares, you always nitpick everything about me and you're never satisfied no matter what I do. What about you? You let different women pick up and send your children to and from school, but have you ever stopped to think whether your ways may affect Jenson subtly?"

"Rose, my methods are decent enough. I don't need you to remind me. Also, the different women you're talking about are all Jenson's relatives. You're the one with the dirty mind. Why should there be a problem with what I do?" Jay said angrily.

"What about Nancy? How is she related to Jenson?" 1

"Rose, you have no right to interfere in my personal life."

"I don't care about your personal life, but please keep your eyes open when you look for a girlfriend. Don't find an evil stepmother for Jenson. And if you ever plan to have another baby, can you try not to do it or at least hide it from Jenson until he's more secure?"

Jay frowned slightly. "Who told you I'll have a baby with Nancy?"

Rose said, "Miss Nancy said it herself."

Jay nodded. "Fine. Then, I will personally tell Jenson that I'll never give him younger brothers or sisters for the rest of his life."

Rose felt inexplicably guilty and stuttered, "Watch what you say. You can't be too sure of that. What if he suddenly gets a younger brother and a younger sister in the future?"

Jay snorted. "You think everyone's like you? Lying, cheating, faking their own death, and a multitude of other shortcomings? Rose, I highly doubt that someone like you can teach kids. Don't bother coming to work tomorrow."

The two little babies upstairs were in an emotional mess.

Baby Robbie dragged Jenson into the room. He was surprised, happy, and anxious all at the same time.

"Jenson, we look exactly like your daddy. He must be my daddy too. But please, I beg you, don't tell Daddy that I was here today, okay? Daddy already has such a bad impression of Mommy. If he knew that I snuck in, he would hate Mommy even more."

Jenson nodded faithfully.

"What should we do?" Jenson asked.

Baby Robbie was turning around in circles. "We must find a way to make Daddy like Mommy. That way, our family can be together."

"Find a way to make Mommy stay," Jenson murmured.

Baby Robbie looked at Jenson and exclaimed, "I got it! Act cute with Daddy and beg him to let Mommy stay. Then, Daddy won't let Mommy go." Jenson looked sheepish.

"I can't act cute."

Baby Robbie looked at Jenson's sullen face. "Okay, okay. You don't have to. I'll do it. Get me a set of your clothes and I'll pretend to be you."

Not objecting, Jenson opened the closet and Baby Robbie looked at all white, all black, all gray-all single -colored clothes.

Baby Robbie pursed his lips and pouted, "Why are your clothes so simple? Mommy said that kids should wear colorful clothes so that it feels like the Sun is in their hearts."

Jenson looked at Robbie's white shirt with a colorful Ultraman on it and curiosity flashed across his eyes.

Baby Robbie changed into a plain white shirt and skipped toward the door.

Jenson stopped him quickly. "Don't skip."

Baby Robbie turned back to Jenson and showed him a n OK gesture and placed one hand over his face. When he removed away, Baby Robbie's energetic face instantly switched to an expressionless iceberg. There was a faint smile in Jenson's eyes.

Baby Robbie told Jenson, "You must hide yourself."

Chapter 25

Chapter 25

"Okay." Jenson nodded.

Baby Robbie went down the stairs. When Jay and Rose heard the kid's footsteps, the quarrel between the two of them stopped abruptly.

Baby Robbie walked toward the two people. He looked at Mommy's puffy red eyes and then looked back at Jay; he felt a wave of inexplicable anger at Daddy, i

He never dreamed that his Mommy's big bully boss would turn out to be his daddy that he thought about day and night.

Although Daddy looked cool, handsome and rich, the person that treated him the best in the world was Mommy. He would never allow anyone to bully Mommy. Not even Daddy.

"Jenson. What are you doing down here? Go up quickly, Miss Nancy has to take you to kindergarten later." Jay looked at his son, frowning slightly. He seemed to see a bit of resentment against him within the child's eyes.

That had never happened before.

Baby Robbie walked up to Jay and raised his head.

Jay froze.

Jenson usually controlled his expression down to the tiniest detail in an almost obsessive way. However, he

seemed to be very expressive today!

"Daddy, I don't want Miss Nancy to send me. I want her to send me." "Jenson" pointed a finger at Rose and Jay was speechless.

Jay gently touched the boy's small head, "Jenson, Miss Doyle has something to do at home so she needs to leave our house immediately. Jenson, say goodbye to Miss Rose."

Baby Robbie turned to look at Rose and Mommy's eyes were still in tears. Mommy told him yesterday that she could not do without this job. Obviously, Daddy was overbearing and just wanted to fire Mommy. Baby Robbie walked toward Rose and stretched out a hand and grabbed Rose's little finger. He started acting cute. "Rose, don't go, I like you sending me to kindergarten. Please?" Jay was dumbfounded.

That was the first time he had ever heard "Jenson" talked in such a heart-meltingly cute and warm way.

Rose rubbed her eyes. 'What's happening? How did Baby Robbie change bodies with Jenson?'

Rose squatted down and held "Jenson's" face. She said pleadingly, "Jenson, can I be a little late and leave a little early every day?"

Baby Robbie certainly knew why Mommy would ask for this. It was because Mommy had to bring him and Zetty to school. Baby Robbie, being a reasonable child, nodded without hesitation. "Of course." Jay was so furious that his lungs almost burst. 'How dare Rose takes advantage of the child's innocence to get away with her bad habits.'

"I won't allow it!" Jay said angrily.

Baby Robbie stared bitterly at Jay-

He suddenly got an idea and walked slowly toward Jay. He squeezed out a few tears and looked at Jay pitifully. 1

"Daddy, why don't you like Rose sending me?"

Jay did not hesitate to list out Rose's faults. "She has no time management and is late for work every day-"

Baby Robbie saw an opportunity and said, "Daddy, why don't you ask her why she's late?"

'If it wasn't for taking care of your other two children, Mommy wouldn't be late!' Baby Robbie thought angrily.

Since he was in front of his son, Jay toned down his harshness. With his hawk-like eyes, he stared at Rose and showed tolerance for the first time. "Alright, tell me. Why were you late?" 1

Rose looked embarrassed. What should she say?

Tell him that she was late because their daughter was sick? Tell him that in addition to Jenson, she actually had to pick up their other children to and back from school?

How could she expose the existence of Baby Robbie and Zetty? He might easily bully her into taking both the kids away from her. 1 "Hmph," Jay sneered contemptuously. "Looks like someone can't find an excuse."

"Jenson" immediately defended Rose. "Daddy, Rose may have her own problems. Maybe her kid was sick? Maybe she had to send her kid to school or pick them up?"

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

Jay and Rose looked at "Jenson" in shock.

The words "Jenson" said rang alarms for both Jay and Rose.

Rose looked at Jay nervously, fearing that Jay would become suspicious. 1

Jay glared at Rose warily, his thin and charming lips curling into a sneer. "Rose, might it be that Jenson guessed it?"

Rose saw the flames rising from Jay's eyes and her heart was uneasy.

Rather than letting him find out about the truth, she thought it would be better to tell him a half-truth. "I have a daughter," she said slowly. "One year younger than Jenson... During these two days, she had a cold and fever. I was late because I had to take care of her."

Jay frowned.

He was repulsed by the thought of the woman finding another man to make babies with right after leaving him.

Jay interrupted her rudely, "I don't want to know about your family. Since you don't have the time to take care of Jenson wholeheartedly, you shouldn't take this job in the first place. Pack your things and leave immediately!"

Rose stood there, looking at "Jenson" reluctantly.

More tears rolled down from her eyes.

Baby Robbie was really upset whenever he saw Mommy crying.

'Mommy is the best Mommy in the world. Mommy works so hard every day. She gets up early and comes back late just for us. But Daddy knows nothing. He only knows how to complain about Mommy. What can Ido?'

Baby Robbie suddenly got another idea and jumped onto Rose. His legs wrapped tightly around Rose's like an octopus.

Shamelessly, he said, "I won't let Rose go. Daddy, I beg you. Even though Rose is late, she treats me well.

She's so knowledgeable about many things. She teaches me how to sing, how to play the piano, how to read poetry, and even how to draw..."

When he saw this, Jay could feel his temple throbbing.

Was he hallucinating?

'How did the cool little boy who would not get close to any relatives act like that for Rose? And the number of words he spoke!

That really surprised Jay. 1

"Jenson, get off her." Jay beckoned Baby Robbie.

"No. Unless you promise me first." Baby Robbie blinked his pair of innocent eyes at Jay and tried to

bargain.

Jay was amused by his cute look and grinned slightly. "Very well, I'll let her stay. Only if you let Daddy see how much you've learned within these two days."

Baby Robbie was a naturally gifted kid. He was mentally and physically developed. He was not afraid to show Daddy what he knew.

He jumped off from Mommy and did not notice the growing suspicion in Rose's eyes.

Rose's eyes suddenly glanced upstairs...

She felt fairly certain that the talkative cute little baby was her Baby Robbie.

Baby Robbie stood in front of Jay like a little man and looked up at Daddy. He proudly said, "What do you want to test me in first?"

Jay remembered the beautiful poem that his son had praised Rose for reading. However, when he asked Jenson to read the poem for him, Jenson was hesitant and stuttered the entire way. "Reciting poetry," Jay said curtly. 1

'I wonder if my son's abnormal behavior will still dislike reciting literary poetry?'

To his surprise, Baby Robbie started reciting the poem called The Image of Orange Day-Lily. It was a poem about motherly love. "Oh, the bright orange day-lily that grew under the back east room."

Jay frowned and looked at Rose with dissatisfaction.' She abandoned her child for five years and now she wanted him to praise her?" "Change to another one," Jay snapped.

Baby Robbie started reciting another poem called The Song of the Wanderer without thinking about it.

"The fine lines on Mother's hands. The clothes of the wanderer's clothes."

It was yet another poem of maternal love.

Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Jay stared daggers at Rose and almost burst into flames.

However, he had to praise his son first. "That was great," he said.

When Baby Robbie heard the compliment from Daddy, he immediately asked happily, "So, can Rose stay?"

"No," Jay replied firmly.

Rose knew what troubled Jay and quickly said, "Those two poems weren't taught by me."

Jay must have thought that she went out of her way to hype up the greatness of maternal love to prepare for their meeting as mother and son in the future.

When Baby Robbie saw Mommy's panic-stricken expression, he realized he had done something wrong.

'Those two poems were about maternal love.

'No wonder Daddy is unhappy.'

Baby Robbie hurriedly said, "Daddy, please don't jump to conclusions. You can also test me on the other ones!

H

Jay looked at the abnormal "Jenson" and asked, "What else did you learn during these two days?"

Baby Robbie saw the piano next to him, walked to the piano and played a piano piece titled Father.

Jay was so shocked that he was rooted to the spot.

Jenson hated playing the piano the most. The teacher who taught Jenson said that he was a child prodigy. Even though he could read the notes incredibly fast, he never showed any desire to practice. Therefore, no one had ever heard his playing except during his piano class.

Grandpa and Grandma always wanted to listen to Jenson's playing but they had never baited him successfully.

However, "Jenson" suddenly took the initiative to play the piano after all this time.

"Who taught you this song?"

Jay knew that there was no such song among Jenson's piano sheets.

Baby Robbie pointed at Rose, "She did."

Rose was so shocked that her eyes almost bulged out. She had never taught Jenson to play the piano. Why would Jenson tell such a lie? However, she had indeed taught that song to Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty.

Jay took a long time to think.

"Jenson" was acting really unusual that day. His performance no doubt surprised him. It seemed that that was the effect of having Rose around. When he saw Daddy still hesitating, Baby Robbie ran over and gave a kiss on Jay's face. "Daddy, so can I?"

Jay's iceberg face almost cracked in that instant.

Baby Robbie was acting extremely cute and spoiled." Daddy, I know you love me the most. You will agree to whatever I want, right?"

For some reason, Jay found himself nodding absently.

Baby Robbie whooped with joy, "Daddy, you're the best."

He ran upstairs, ready to share the joyful news with Jenson.

"Jenson!"

When Baby Robbie entered Jenson's room, he yelled softly.

Jenson crawled out of the closet and saw Baby Robbie's excited face.

"I did it."

Jenson looked at Baby Robbie and the expression on his face overwhelmed Jenson a little. He said tersely," You talked too much just now." Baby Robbie laughed sheepishly, "If I didn't try my best, Daddy would've fired Mommy."

Jenson noted, "He'll see through it soon."

As soon as he said that, there was a knock on the door from outside of his room. Jay's mellow cello-like voice called out, "Jenson!"

Baby Robbie panicked and hastily crawled under the bed to hide.

Only after ensuring that Robbie was hidden did Jenson walk over to the door and open it, his handsome face expressionless as he looked at Jay. Jay stared suspiciously at his frozen-faced iceberg of a son and furrowed his eyebrows. What happened to his animated expressions earlier. 1

Ruffling Jenson's black hair, Jay bid his son goodbye.

"Daddy's going to work now. The nanny will send you to school. This isn't a problem, right?"

Jenson's eyes showed some resistance, but he still nodded obediently and simply answered, "Uh-huh!"

Jay noticed the hesitation and recalled what Rose told him. The kids and parents at the kindergarten were perhaps not too friendly to Jenson. An alarm blared in Jay's heart.

His tall frame suddenly squatted down, and he asked Jenson very seriously, "Tell Daddy. Is it true that you don't like going to kindergarten?"

Jenson twisted his head away, staying silent.

Jay sighed softly. Every time he had to communicate issues like this with Jenson, Jenson always responded with this same indifferent attitude.

He had always thought that with his position of authority, there would be nobody who would dare provoke his son.

However, he had clearly forgotten that in order to let Jenson have a normal childhood, he had not given the kindergarten Jenson's real profile. When Jay came down from the second floor, Rose had already organized the toys in the play area tidily.

Upon turning her head and seeing the stony-faced Jay standing behind her, Rose jumped.

"Sir Ares, what other business do you have?" Rose asked with lingering fear.

"Rose Loyle, stop using your false motherly love to influence Jenson. You'll only make him worse this way." Jay ground his teeth angrily. Jenson's moods were unstable, making it hard for him to adapt.

Rose retorted, "Isn't Jenson's performance today great? He spoke much more than usual, didn't he?"

Jay snarled in a lowered voice, "His performance today was like a schizophrenic patient. This is all thanks to you. Rose Loyle, I'm holding you responsible when I come back." After leaving those ruthless words Jay left. 1

Upon hearing the word "schizophrenic", Rose was so shocked, her entire body weakened.

Jenson was also her darling son. It was natural that she hoped Jenson would develop in a positive way. If her appearance caused her child's mental illness to worsen, she would not be able to forgive herself.

"Jenson..." 1

Rose frantically ran upstairs.

When Baby Robbie heard Mommy's voice coming upstairs, it startled him out of his soul.

"Jenson, I must go now."

Baby Robbie crawled out the window after saying this. Jenson chased him and said, "Give me a way to contact you!"

"Okay." Baby Robbie gave him his phone number and Jenson memorized it.

Knock, knock, knock!

Knocks sounded on the door.

Jenson cautiously shut the window. He walked to the edge of the door and opened it.

As Rose gazed upon Jenson's face, which had gone back to the cool, frozen expression, she finally understood the reason Jay suspected the child was schizophrenic.

Jenson looked at Rose through lifted eyes, different from the usual cold indifference. His gaze today had a deeper sense of probing.

All along, Rose was the mommy he had been missing every day!

"Jens, Daddy asked me to take you to school." Deep inside, Rose was not at all willing to bring Jenson to school, but because of Jay's authority, she had to obey. 1 However, she still expressed it in a way that made Jay out to be the bad guy.

This time, Jenson unexpectedly nodded his head obediently!

He did not want Mommy to think that he was a bad good child.

After Rose dropped Jenson off at school, Jenson entered the school gates in a very well-behaved manner.

Rose was a little stunned. Why was this child so good today? He was actually listening to whatever she said? 1

In the afternoon, Rose went to the kindergarten to bring Jenson home.

The moment Jenson walked out of the kindergarten, Rose nearly broke down in tears.

Jenson's clean white T-shirt was covered in dirt and ink, and his face was covered in many marks from being bullied by the other students. There were many long, bloody fingernail marks, as well as a split in his lip that was oozing fresh blood.

Upon seeing Rose, Jenson ducked to the side, clearly not wanting her to see the mess he was in.

Rose ran up and pulled Jenson into her embrace." Jenson!"

Hugging Jenson tightly, tears welled up in her eyes.

Jenson looked at Rose. Previously, there were times where he returned from school looking even worse, yet he had never seen anyone cry over him before. Daddy's staff and women all said that it was normal for children to fight.

"Does it hurt?" Rose asked, looking up with teary eyes.

Jenson shook his head. "It doesn't hurt. The others were hurt even more."

Was he boasting that he had beaten up other people?

Rose felt even sadder. Jenson said "them". It was obvious that it was not just one kid that bullied him.

"Does the teacher know?" Rose asked.

Jenson nodded. "They were scolded."

Rose carried Jenson up and headed back.

Jenson rested against her shoulder. It was his first time enjoying the warmth of a mother's love, and Jenson was so tired that he fell asleep on her shoulder. 1

The distance from the kindergarten to Horizon Colors was not too far, but it was not short either. By walking, it required around twenty minutes.

Rose did not call for a car though, as she relished the feeling of carrying Jenson even more. It was as if she had all the security in the world.

A Rolls-Royce Silver Seraph had been following Rose from behind for an uncertain amount of time. The man in the backseat was not a common passerby, and his eyes that were as sharp as a hawk were staring straight at Rose.

In the driver's seat, Grayson was perplexed.

"Mr. Ares, Master Jenson is not close to any of us. If we were the ones to send him to school and back,

Master Jenson would be full of resentment. Why is it that when Miss Rose does it, he doesn't make a fuss?"

Jay was also considering this problem with furrowed brows.

Grayson lamented, "Could this be the legendary bond between mother and son?"

Jay darted Grayson a cold look, and the man hastily corrected his words. "Bah, how could a mother-son bond develop between Master Jenson and Miss Rose? The one who brought him up through countless hardships was Mr. Ares, so he'd only develop a bond with you, sir."

Although in his heart, he did not want to admit that Rose and Jenson were getting along very well, the facts spoke for themselves.

Jay glared at Grayson resentfully. "Wasn't this your lousy idea? Is this supposed to be retaliating against Rose?"

Grayson gazed at the display of affection between Rose and Jenson and laughed awkwardly, i

"Sorry, Mr. Ares." "I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself," Jay said coldly.

Grayson frantically nodded and bowed. "Yes, of course, Mr. Ares. I'll definitely think of a way to make Miss Rose's life uncomfortable!"

After Rose carried Jenson home and settled him down, she called Jay right away.

"Hello, Sir Ares, Jenson's home already. The kid suffered quite some indignity in school today. I hope you can properly face the issue of Jenson's resistance to school-"

Rose gravely told him about Jenson's situation, but she only got halfway before Jay interrupted her rudely. "Rose Loyle, may I remind you that it's not your place to teach me how to manage my own child." His words were an obvious declaration of who reigned over the child.

Rose sighed helplessly.

"You can go back now. I'll arrive soon." After saying this, Jay hung up.

Then he gave an order to Grayson. "Park the car at the side."

Not long after, Rose walked out of the Ares family villa carrying her purse. She looked like she was in a rush as she hurried toward the bus stop.

Just as Jay was about to get out of the car, he changed his mind upon seeing the hurrying Rose and said to Grayson, "Follow her."

About forty to fifty minutes later, Rose appeared

outside the gates of City North Experimental Kindergarten.

The Rolls-Royce stopped at a place not too far nor too close to her.

When the end-of-school bell rang, the children walked out in systematic lines.

Zetty saw Mommy from afar and excitedly waved her arms, running like the wind toward Mommy."

Mommy!"

Rose spread her arms open, and Zetty crashed headfirst into her embrace.

"Mommy, did your boss let you get off work on time today? He didn't make things difficult for you?"

Rose nodded happily. "Uh-huh."

Zetty called out joyfully. It seemed Baby Robbie's trip to negotiate with Mommy's boss was very effective!

In the Rolls-Royce, Jay's gaze locked on the child's unexpectedly adorable face.

With her round face, black eyes that glittered like gems, straight and pert nose, and fair skin, she looked just as dainty as a doll.

An inexplicably sour feeling bloomed in Jay's chest." Rose could birth such an adorable daughter?"

Grayson was speechless."...."

He spoke inwardly. 'Since Rose could give birth to a baby as handsome as Jenson, why can't she give birth to a beautiful daughter?'

Jay could not tear his gaze from Zetty even if he stared for half a day. A revelation hit him a moment later. Was this little dumpling not that little girl he saw at the airport that day? So, she was Rose's daughter.

Hence, that exotic woman he met at the airport that day was indeed Rose?

In order to hide from him, there was really nothing Rose would not do!

Seeing Zetty's resemblance to Rose's, Grayson could not help inwardly lighting a candle in mourning for Rose.

Miss Loyle must have married another man and had a child after divorcing Mr. Ares. With Mr. Ares's paranoid mysophobia, it was unlikely he would take this matter kindly. The end of Rose Loyle's days might be coming soon!

His face green, Jay pushed the car door open. In two or three strides of his long legs, he stepped in front of Rose and her daughter.

Seeing this cold-faced man, Zetty immediately shouted fearfully, "Mommy, the trafficker man-"

Jay's face turned into a mix of shock and embarrassment.

He fished out his wallet and produced a large stack of bills, shoving them in Zetty's hands before snapping at Baby Zetty impatiently, "You can't call me a trafficker from now on."
