Ch. 251..260

Chapter 251

Sleep took Rose Loyle again after a short while of consciousness.

The doctor had advised Jay Ares to let the patient sleep, for she had suffered a slight injury to the head and therefore was therefore prone to a mild concussion. Such patients were especially lethargic.

Not planning to disturb her, Jay Ares sat silently as he watched her sleep. Without realizing, a drop of tear fell onto the back of his hands

No one had ever expected the cold and unfeeling Jay Ares who had never once cried, to have tears falling from his eyes for a woman!

That moment, Jay Ares finally understood the saying,' a man does not shed tears until his heart is broken!'

Lightly tucking her into the blanket, he pressed his lips against her softly before turning to leave the room.

He got her a small bowl of porridge from a stall downstairs and answered a phone call before he ultimately returned to her room, only to see both of Rose Loyle's hands clenching her phone in a death grip. Her eyes were closed, but tears trickled out anyway from their corners.

Jay's heart clenched painfully at the sight as he walked over and took the phone. There was a line of text from a translating software on the screen.

Jay Ares saw the following: "She's lying, Daddy. Master Ares hates this woman. He's even told me before, how Rose Doyle is the only woman in the entire world that he hates."

"Did he really-say that?"

"Master Ares feels more than hate for you, in fact, he despises you from the depths of his heart. He even told me he wants to rip you apart-and what he complains about the most-why were you Jenson Ares' biological mother?"

Bloodthirst gleamed in Jay Ares' bloodshot eagle-like eyes.

'Nancy Bell! How could you say such ruthless words to Angeline?'

However, those were his words after all, were they not?

Rather than claim that Nancy was the one to hurt his Angeline, it made more sense to crown himself the actual culprit.

Jay Ares had never once hated himself as much as he did at that moment. Slowly, he stood from his seat and strolled out of the room. Turning into the toilet to splash his face.

He hated the reflection in the mirror. What gave him the right to live in easy idle while Angeline suffered?

The reflective mirror was smashed by his fist into smithereens.

"Argh-" He roared, like a tiger out of control.

Blood streamed down his fist.

Collecting his negative emotions, he returned to the room as if nothing had happened at all.

Born the strong man he was, he refused to resign his life to fate and let his emotions cloud his judgment. Quickly readjusting his mood, he was adamant about doing whatever he could to change the predicament in front of him.

Rewriting the hurtful words on Rose's cell phone, he turned them into a beautiful love letter.

Changing Nancy's horrendous and cruel words into " Sir Ares said it himself, he loved me before, he loves me now, and he'll love me again forever. For as long as he breathes, he would love me to the end of time-"

Then, Jay Ares carefully returned her phone, placing it by her pillow.

Rose Boyle's mind felt muddled, as she spent her day dancing between the world of consciousness and unconsciousness. Only managing to stay awake after being in and out of it for an entire day.

By the time she regained consciousness, Jay Ares was no longer by her side. Reaching for her phone to check in with her kids, she came across the message Jay Ares had rewritten for her. Tears streamed freely down Rose's cheeks as she read the message.

Assuming that it was God's act of a blessing that she coincidentally typed out such a heartfelt love letter while asleep.

Chapter 252

Chapter 252

Having read the love letter, she began to delete every single word...

Her eyes were watery with tears as she bid Jay Ares farewell, "Goodbye, Jaybie. I'm leaving for real this time, you'll never have to see me again."

Pulling out the saline syringe that was on the back of her hand, Rose Loyle slipped out of the hospital without being noticed. 2

Immediately, upon his return to the company, Jay Ares received an emergency call from Grand Asia Hospital. "I'm sorry, Mr. President. Miss Rose has gone missing."

Hearing the news, Jay felt a shiver run down from his neck to his spine. It also passed through his long legs and toes. Then, recalling the time when she had ghosted him the same way seven years ago, anxiety began to spread across his chest. The past incident was the one that had him empty-handed despite the entire city having been searched by his men.

"Grayson. I want every exit of the city closed immediately. We will not let Rose escape this time."

Grayson's legs grew weak at the order.

As far as Grayson was concerned, it would take less effort to catch a fly than to catch Rose Loyle.

"Understood, sir."

Jay Ares forced his mind to clear itself. He needed his intellect if he wanted to counter Angelina's plan of escaping.

Internally, he reassured himself that the only reason why she had gotten away seven years ago was that she knew her enemy as well as she knew herself.

Thus, it allowed her to come up with a flawless plan while Jay himself was completely oblivious to the fact that there was another soul inside the hollow shell of her body. Nevertheless, now that he was aware of it, he would not let her get away.

Especially not when he was the one who had taught her the skills she knew.

Lifting his wrist to look at his watch, he registered in his mind that it was currently afternoon nap time at the kindergarten.

There was no way Angeline would leave without her child, considering how kind and responsible of a person she was.

Jay Ares sped to the kindergarten only for a teacher there to say, "Miss Loyle left not too long ago with Baby Zetty in tow. She also left you this letter of gratitude."

Although the teacher had handed it to him, calling it a letter of 'letter of gratitude', Jay Ares refused to call it s o. He quickly ripped it open and read it.

I'll be going, Sir Ares. I've thought about it, and I've come to believe that Baby Robbie would be better off in your hands. With him left behind, I pray that you will love him for both of us.

Tell Jenson I love him too. The decision I had made to leave him all those years ago was not because I loved him any less nor was it something I had decided on randomly by drawing lots. The reason why I had chosen to favor Baby Robbie was that he had been born with a weaker body.

Sir Ares, I'm sorry that it had not occurred to me how much you despised me then. Had I known, perhaps I would not have intertwined our lives in such a way seven years ago. It became as much as a misfortune for you as it was for me.

I'll be leaving now, bringing along every bit of hatred you have for me as well as any lingering desires I have. May we both be free people from now onward. I will always wish you the best! Sincerely, Rose Loyle.

It was a farewell letter.

Jay Ares balled the letter in his hands and then ripped it to shreds.

"You're wrong, Angeline! This cannot be how our ending goes!"

Jay Ares then picked both Jenson and Baby Robbie up before kindergarten officially ended. Seeing their

Daddy, the two adorable boys wore matching frantic expressions as they seemed to realize that something wrong had happened.

"Daddy, why did Mommy only take Baby Zetty?" Baby Robbie's eyes were filled with tears as he asked heartbrokenly, "Does Mommy not want me anymore?"

Taking Baby Robbie into his arms, Jay pulled Jenson along as he strode back to his Rolls-Royce.

"Daddy, are you and Mommy fighting? Did you infuriate her that much until it made her leave?" Jenson Ares asked angrily.

Placing both children into the back seat of his car, Jay Ares said seriously, "Daddy wants to get Mommy back. So, be good and follow my orders if you don't want to lose Mommy too, okay?" "Okay." Nodded both Baby Robbie and Jenson.

Chapter 253

Chapter 253

After starting the car, Jay Ares sped in the direction of the airport only to change his destination after receiving a sudden call from Grayson.

"Mr. President, someone it was just reported that someone has seen Rose Loyle around Eminent Honor's entrance. However, she was only seen there for a moment before she vanished again. That's the last known whereabouts of Rose Loyle that we have. In other words, it's been an hour since we lost her."

"Alright, I've got it. Keep searching!" Hanging up the phone, Jay Ares turned the car around and drove in the direction of Swallow City.

Honestly speaking, there was no guarantee that Rose Loyle would be in Swallow City. Jay merely thought that since she had not yet given up on Severe Enterprises, she would perhaps drop by to visit her grandfather-Old Master Severe-as well.

Although Swallow City was 120 kilometers away from Imperial Capital, Jay Ares made it there in under forty minutes. Consequently, having stepped a little too hard on the accelerator, Jay Ares left the kids to bundle together in fear. 1 Out of the blue, Jay turned his head around to look at his children. He solemnly remarked, "No matter who it

is you see in a bit, do not forget your manners."

Baby Robbie nodded.

Jenson remained silent.

He could not help but feel a little reluctant about having to socialize with strangers.

"Jens?" Jay Ares' gaze fell on Jens' face as he asked in a stern tone, "Did you hear me?"

"Yeah," Jenson replied wearily.

He wondered who this person they would be meeting was. He or she had to be someone important to them, or they would not mean that much to his Daddy.

Driving the SUV into the alleyway that led to the courtyard, Jay Ares was forced to bring the vehicle to a stop before he could reach the place. The road had become more narrow and was starting to close in around the car.

"We're here." Jay alighted the car as fast as he could. He did not even stop to help his kids and instead dashed to the courtyard door himself.

As a result of multiple knocks in quick succession, a voice was heard from the other side of the door," What's happening today? Why's everyone knocking on my door?"

The door opened to reveal a middle-aged, dignified-looking woman that was wearing a dress. Though she was far from young, her fair skin was rare of wrinkles as she smiled fondly.

It was Angelina Severe's mother!

"Jay?" Tears welled up in Mommy Severe's eyes as they settled on Jay Ares. "Why are you here? Quick, come in and take a seat."

"I'm sorry, Mom. I'm not really here to reminisce about the past. On the other hand, May I ask if you've seen a girl recently? She's around this tall, has big eyes, long hair, and a round face-"

Mommy Severe nodded. "She was here for a brief while, and she left not too long ago either. She went that way. What a funny lady, all she did was look at me and cry. The lady didn't say anything at all..." Only at that moment did both Baby Robbie and Jenson finally reach the courtyard. It has to be said that they had run over, their short legs limited their speed. The next moment, their father's remark rang very clearly in their ears. Immediately, Baby Robbie bowed humbly and courteously greeted. "Hello, Madam."

Upon seeing Baby Robbie, Jens followed suit and bowed. Nevertheless, his expression was frigid as he said, "Hello, Madam."

Jay Ares was quick to correct them, "Grandmother, not Madam."

Both Baby Robbie and Jenson amended themselves." Hello, Grandmother."

The sight of the charming children had tears streaming down Mommy Severe's face instantly." Such good children. They look just like you, Jay. What a lucky man you are. You have to let Angeline go and live blissfully with the mom of these kids..."

Instinctively, Jay Ares' eyes trailed toward the direction Rose had left in. Then, afraid that he would lose trace of Rose again, Jay Ares hastily bid Mommy Severe farewell, "I have to go, Mom. I'll see you soon." Jay Ares left quickly with the children in tow.

Mommy Severe watched as Jay and the children left. Suddenly, it dawned on her. Did Jay just call her 'Mom'?

Had he not always referred to her as 'Aunty Georgia'?

Not to mention, he told the kids to call her' Grandmother'.

Mommy Severe was stunned. Had Jay purposefully changed the way he called her to console her pain of having lost her daughter?

Or was it because-

Chapter 254

Chapter 254

An inkling of suspicion surfaced in Mommy Severe's eyes.

With the two kids in tow, Jay Ares ran all the way to the intersection where he found Rose pacing aimlessly with Baby Zetty in one hand and her suitcase in another. "It's Mommy!" Baby Robbie almost howled in excitement.

Jay Ares covered his mouth as he whispered to the boys, "Let's stay hidden for now, so we don't end up scaring Mommy away, okay?"

Baby Robbie quickly pressed a hand to his mouth as well. "So what do we do now, Daddy?"

"Let's follow Mommy secretly."

"Okay."

Arriving at one of the Severe Enterprises' properties-A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu Hotel, Rose Loyle procured her identity card and booked a single room for the night.

Only after ensuring that Rose had gone up to her room did Jay Ares bring both Baby Robbie and Jenson inside.

Signaling with his eyes, Jay Ares had Baby Robbie charm the ladies at the reception desk with his

cuteness. "Hey little missy, I want to live next to that pretty lady from just now." 1

Jay Ares was awestruck. Sure, he had instructed Baby Robbie to do something, perhaps even con Rose's room number out of the reception ladies. However, he had never expected him to do it in such a

manner.

How could the ladies at the reception desk possibly do their job properly at the sight of three attractive and stunning young men that were right in front of them?

"Give this little missy your signature, and your wish shall be her command."

Baby Robbie nodded.

However, instead of signing his own name when the reception lady took out a piece of tissue, Baby Robbie signed it with a novel name he came up with on the spot-Robin!

Upon seeing the name, Jay Ares swelled with pride at his son's intellect.

He had quite the safety conscience and knew not to use his real name!

The reception did indeed assign them the room next to Rose in the end. Rose stayed in room 919, while they stayed in room 917.

"What next, Daddy?" Baby Robbie's eyes were sparkling as he stood in front of Jay Ares.

A rush of mixed feelings engulfed Jay Ares as thought of how deeply Baby Robbie wanted his parents to get back together. Ruffling Baby Robbie's head, he sighed. "Have you always hoped that Daddy and Mommy would get remarried, Baby Robbie?"

Baby Robbie bobbed his head enthusiastically, his eyes shining with anticipation. "Will you, Daddy?"

Jay replied with conviction, "Daddy promises. The moment we get Mommy back, we'll never leave each other again."

Hearing such happy news, Jenson's eyes that were usually calm and collected flashed a rare gleam of mirth.

Nevertheless, they dimmed shortly after.

Walking up to Jay, he asked in an adult manner, "Will you love Mommy though, Daddy? Just like how you love the girl you hold dear in your heart?"

Looking at Jens, an adult that was in a child's body, Jay Ares nodded with a smile. "Daddy loves Mommy more, Jens."

Love always seemed innocent when one was young and was unaware of the extremities of life's miseries.

Now that Jay understood Angeline's tenacity and commitment to love, his love for her had grown and prospered. Immediately, Jenson beamed a radiant smile.

Jay Ares was stunned as it was rare for Jenson to express such emotions.

Pulling both his sons toward his chest, Jay said," Right now, Daddy needs your help. Help me get Mommy to stay." "Got it," Jenson replied.

Baby Robbie as well. "I'll help too."

Chapter 255

Chapter 255

The street lamps lit up as the skies darkened.

Rose Loyle stood in front of the large glass window with her arms folded in front of her chest, looking at the colors that painted Swallow City.

Once upon a time, the Severe family was the most influential in Swallow City.

What had happened?

Her mother was living in a secluded manor, her grandfather was holding on to dear life in a government-owned hospital, and the subsidiary companies under the Severe family were being bought over one by one. To top it off, the family was facing potential bankruptcy.

Her brother had founded Eminent Honor because he was unsatisfied with what had befallen the Severe family. He was hoping to rise again by using friends and relatives that were once close to the Severe family. What her brother did not understand was that those people were neither reliable nor useful as the Severe family would not be in such a position if the case was the other way around.

There was subliminal hope for Severe Enterprise to rise again as Old Master Severe was now bed-ridden indefinitely. Who in the right mind was going to bet on the Severe family to rise again? Rose sighed hopelessly.

The accident not only changed her fate, but the fate of the whole Severe family!

Back then, she was a young and foolish girl who was in love; she never once considered the consequences and thus ended up paying a painful price.

Fortunately... she managed to find her path once again.

She recalled the lessons her grandfather had once imparted to her. 'Angeline, a person will never have a smooth sailing life. When you're high up in the mountains, you have the risk of falling down the cliffs. You must always remember that you cannot be proud or arrogant when you're at the top. Likewise, you should never feel humiliated or embarrassed when you fall into the gorge. Keep your dignity high because your confidence will help you reach new heights and achieve glory.'

The sadness within Rose's gaze gradually turned into determination.

On the bed, Baby Zetty was fast asleep, snoring obliviously to everything around him. 2

Rose quietly left the hotel as she planned to visit her grandfather at the hospital.

Consequently, the sound of her door opening alerted the man next door.

Jay frowned. 'It's so late at night. Where is that girl

going at this hour?'

He was worried about her loitering outside alone and thus quietly tailed behind her. Not long after, he found out that she was making a beeline for Swallow City Hospital.

Old Master Severe was once a brilliant man who held the reins of Swallow City. However, now that he had tubes running in and out of his body and was lifelessly lying on a bed, he appeared like a cachexic

man.

A middle-aged man was seated by the bed.

With a sly smile, he held Old Master Severe's hand and said pretentiously, "Chairman Severe, the doctors said you're going to leave soon. I guess you must be worried about Severe Enterprise which you founded and built up? Let me inform you of the latest happenings in the company."

Rose stood outside to eavesdrop.

She recognized the man that was talking to her grandfather. He was Yosemite Titus, her grandfather's old driver. He was a trusted staff member and thus had been taken into the company by her grandfather t o be trained. Yosemite was an intelligent and hardworking man. Consequently, he climbed the corporate ladder as a general worker; he became a supervisor and then the vice president.

Everyone was of the opinion that he was an honest and loyal man, a man who had gratitude. Hence,

everyone was always full of praises for him.

Nevertheless, Angeline had seen him having an affair with her father's lover and on many occasions reminded her grandfather to be aware of him. She wondered if the Severe family's current predicament had something to do with this two-faced man.

Yosemite continued to speak leisurely, "Everything that Severe Enterprise used to own has almost been fully bought over by the Titus family. Nonetheless, seeing how you trained and taught me in the past, I'll leave a few properties as well as the Severe Filming Company that has been losing money each year for those useless children and grandchildren of yours."

Rose clenched her hands into angry fists when she heard his words.

"Chairman, you can die in peace now. These tubes coming in and out of you must be making you suffer. Let me help you remove them, okay? Hahahahaha...” The man laughed out loud. On the other hand, Rose quickly hid in a corner as the man's footsteps grew nearer.

When Yosemite exited the room, he saw a girl standing in front of the neighboring room and gave her an extra glance.

 

Chapter 256

Chapter 256

The cold stare that Rose shot at him stunned him for a moment. He was puzzled as to why the girl's gaze made him sense fear. Yosemite brushed that feeling away, adjusted his clothes, and left hastily.

Rose quickly entered her grandfather's room and saw that his tubes had been pulled out. Carefully, she connected them once again.

All of a sudden, Old Master Severe opened his eyes. His gaze was that of an aged and frail, old man.

Nevertheless, when he saw the girl squatting in front of him, a flash of delight flew across his eyes.

"Angel..."

He excitedly grabbed Rose's hand. "Look for Jay... he is the only person that can help you... save Severe Enterprise!"

Old Master Severe fainted from exhaustion upon finishing his sentence.

Rose immediately called for the doctor. The doctor was indifferent toward Old Master Severe as he spoke in an annoyed tone, "The patient's family left him here and only come every few days to pay the hospital bills. You can only blame the illness that he has which doesn't cost him his life but is unbeatable. Not to mention, now that time has gone by, nobody is willing

to take care of him anymore."

Rose held her grandfather's hand while tears rolled inside her eye sockets.

"Is there any way to make him stand again? Regardless of the cost, please doctor!" She asked.

"The technology we have in our hospital is incapable of doing so. You'll have to see if the best hospital in the country, Grand Asia Medical Center can create a miracle."

It was like a thread of hope that Rose held tightly. With hope glistening in her eyes, she asked, "Are you saying that there's a chance Grand Asia Hospital can cure?"

The doctor answered coldly, "Unfortunately, the Severe family is ladened with debts, and they can hardly afford the fees at our hospital. How could they have the money to send Old Master Severe to Grand Asia Hospital that is exorbitantly priced?"

He paused for a moment and suspiciously looked at Rose before informing her of a crueler reality, "Miss, Grand Asia Hospital is also always fully occupied. Aside from money, you'll need a doctor's recommendation to get on the waiting list. Otherwise, getting admitted to Grand Asia is harder than ascending into heaven.

In other words, he was asking her to give up.

Rose looked at her grandfather that was lying in bed and made the most stubborn decision she had ever

made.

'Grandpa, I will make you stand once again and take revenge on those who have harmed you,' Rose made a promise to herself.

"Could I borrow a phone?" Rose begged the doctor.

She had thrown her sim card away.

The doctor noticed the stubbornness on Rose's face. It has to be said that he had seen many of Old Master Severe's friends; they each once had the same determination as her, trying to use their strength to turn Old Master Severe's situation around. However, without question, they each failed in the end.

Nevertheless, the doctor passed his phone to her...

Not far away, Jay was watching Rose. He did not know if she would put down her pride in such desperate times to seek help from him?

It was not until his phone rang that a comforting smile appeared on his face.

Someone who could bend and stretch. It was indeed his Angeline.

He answered the phone. "Hello..."

Rose's breathing became uneven when she heard his voice.

She had written him a severance letter and yet was turning to him for help not long after. Would it make him misunderstand and think that she was playing hard to get?

In the end, she lost her courage and hung up the call.

Tears began to stream down her face.

Jay looked at the troubled girl and strode toward her.

"Rose Loyle!" He stood in front of her. His voice was magnetic and seductive.

Chapter 257

Chapter 257

A voice that was sexier than a news anchor. Rose could recognize the man from his voice, and she turned around in shock before staring blankly at Jay who had appeared out of nowhere. "Sir Ares?" Her shocked eyes were as wide as big bells, looking at him in disbelief. "Why are you here?"

Jay stood still in front of her. Only a day had passed, and she was now thin and haggard in front of him. Her pair of chubby and cheerful cheeks had thinned a lot.

His heart ached.

Jay's gaze shifted to Old Master Severe who was lying on the bed. His memory of an energetic and spirited old man had been replaced with one of a man that had no energy left in his muscles and was suffering from endless depression.

"You want to save him?" Jay looked at Rose.

Rose nodded.

Uneasiness filled her heart. Jay was a man with meticulous thoughts. If he decided to probe further and ask as to why she wanted to save Old Master Severe, how was she going to answer him? "Rose, marry me, and I'll save him," Jay solemnly announced as he looked at the determination in her

eyes.

He did not want to take advantage of her when she was in trouble. However, he was a businessman, and he knew that a missed opportunity would never return.

He did not have the courage to go through losing her again.

Rose stared at him.

She did not understand why he would make such an offer when he hated her so much?

What was the meaning of marriage to him?

She understood that businessmen were always on the lookout for profits. What profit would he gain from marrying her?

The doctor looked at Jay and chuckled.

"Mister, Old Master Severe's illness is an unresolved mystery for the medical fraternity. You don't look like someone who lacks money, but I have to remind you that life and health are two things money can't buy."

Jay's cold gaze swept across the doctor's face. "You're right. That's why no other place has a chance of creating a miracle for Old Master Severe's condition other than Grand Asia Medical Center."

The doctor was taken aback. "You are?"

Jay looked at him and said casually, "Jay Ares."

The doctor stumbled in shock and appeared bashful as he said fearfully, "You're Grand Asia's President!

Please forgive my ignorance!"

The doctor said to Rose with raised brows, "Miss, this is your last chance to save Old Master Severe. Don't miss out on this great opportunity!" The doctor then left hurriedly.

Jay and Rose continued to stand in the room as they looked at each other. Rose's mind was a mess.

All of a sudden, a crisp voice interrupted her thoughts, 'Angel, look for Jay... he is the only person that can help you... save Severe Enterprise!'

Rose nodded her head. "Okay, I agree to your terms."

Regardless, she had to try? Right?

Jay's nervous and distressed heart finally found peace.

She was finally going to become his bride once again!

This time, he was not going to disappoint her.

"Let's go back to Imperial Capital first. I will get someone to arrange the transfer for Old Master Severe."

Rose nodded.

She glanced a few more times at Old Master Severe before slowly reluctantly leaving the room.

In the corridor, a trolley filled with medical equipment was heading their way, but Rose was walking without concentrating and did not realize the impending danger ahead.

Jay who was behind her dashed forward and grabbed her in the nick of time. Consequently, Rose was jolted awake. Not to mention, by the time she was in his safe embrace, she realized that she had nearly walked into the trolley of medical equipment...

Flustered, she left Jay's embrace and said, "Thank you!

Chapter 258

Chapter 258

Jay tightly held her hand in his and pulled it while praising himself, "I'm merely extending my care to the weaklings." Rose glared at him. "I'm not a weakling, okay?"

Jay smiled slyly. "If you don't want me to categorize you as a weakling, become stronger and prove me wrong."

Rose looked at him bitterly. 'If he hates me, he should stay away from me. Doesn't he know that I don't have any immunity against him?'

She had made the difficult decision of leaving him. However, he had shamelessly barged into her life once more, making her defenseless. "Why are you here?" She asked him with suspicion.

He held her hand and casually continued walking. While holding her hand, he felt as if the whole world was being held onto by himself. He was in a good mood, and his lips curled into a smile. "You haven't told me why you are here?" He asked in return.

Rose looked down. "Old Master Severe helped me once. Now that he's in trouble, I want to help him in return."

There was a smile in Jay's eyes. "So how do you want t

o help him?"

Rose halted her steps abruptly and looked at Jay before solemnly saying in a serious tone, "I will do all that I can to let him stand up again."

Jay looked at her serious expression and felt a sense of sadness.

She used to live a life as a carefree princess, but she now had to shoulder the burden of resurrecting Severe Enterprise.

"I will help you fulfill your wish," he said to her sincerely.

Rose's pupils widened in bewilderment. 'If he intends to help grandpa, it would be because of the relationship they share. Why does it sound like he's helping grandpa because of me?' "Let's go!" He held her hand and headed for the hospital exit.

At the main door, Baby Robbie and Jens could be seen running over.

"Mommy."

Rose felt a rush of complex emotions as she looked at her two cute children.

She had thought that she would never see them again.

She squatted down and opened her arms wide to bring the two boys into her embrace.

"Mommy, don't leave me," Baby Robbie tearfully said.

Jenson who usually spoke very little but straightforwardly said, "Mommy, why do you want to abandon me again?"

Rose felt remorseful toward Jenson.

"Mommy has done the wrong thing. I'm sorry, Jens."

Baby Robbie hugged Rose's neck and said in between sobs, "Mommy, if you don't like to live in Imperial Capital, then bring me along. I don't want to live without you." Jenson said, "I don't want to be a motherless child."

Jay said out of jealousy, "Are you all expecting me to live alone?"

Jenson and Baby Robbie held Rose tightly, refusing to let go as they cried out, "Mommy, we'll go with you."

Rose looked at Jay and understood his reason for proposing to her.

Each word and sentence that came out of Jenson's mouth slashed her heart so much that it ached!

Even a heart made of ice would melt when faced with the children's endless cries and pleadings!

Jay loved his children very much and would not bear to hurt their feelings. Therefore, he had no choice but to propose to her?

When Jay noticed the negative changes in Rose's expression, he lightly cleared his throat to remind the children to not go overboard with their acting.

"Mommy won't be leaving anymore. Jens, Baby Robbie, stop clinging on to your mommy. She's tired," Jay said.

When they heard that their mother was no longer leaving, Jenson and Baby Robbie immediately cheered. "That's great. Mommy isn't leaving, we're still going to have our mommy."

Chapter 259

Chapter 259

At the thought that Jay did not like to sleepover at unfamiliar hotels, Rose went back to the hotel to fetch Baby Zetty. Then, they all returned to Imperial Capital that night.

The four-wheeled drive sped along the dark highway. In the back seat, the three children were fast asleep; the backrest had been folded down to widen the seats.

Meanwhile, Rose sat in the front passenger seat and looked out the window. The night sky was pitch black and not even a single star could be found. It was just like her heart that had fallen into endless darkness.

"Sir Ares, don't you feel like it's a waste of time to marry me?" Her voice was so soft as if it had come from the wind.

It brought along hints of hesitation and fear.

She was helpless when it came to the unknown future.

Jay's firm voice replied, "I'd never do something that would waste my time."

Rose turned to look at him. His obsidian eyes were glowing brightly. "Why do you want to marry me?"

"You want to know the answer?" Jay's mesmerizing voice seduced her, and she was tempted by him for a moment.

She nodded. "Hmm."

Jay abruptly turned around, and his lips curled upward. Consequently, she was left with a handsome side profile. "Rose Loyle, you can take a lifetime to search for the answer."

Rose was taken aback. This man always spoke with hidden meanings. Her mind when compared to his, was probably like an ancient unicellular microorganism.

She leaned her head against the headrest, and her clear voice rang in the air once again, "Sir Ares, would you give me that opportunity to find the answer?"

She was afraid that he would return to his old ways after they got married and continue to scheme against her.

If that were the case, she had to play along till one was down!

Did she have a choice considering that she was going to be linked to him for her whole life?

Jay said, "If you think that one lifetime is not enough, then use two lifetimes, three even..."

Unfortunately, Rose did not hear any of that because she was still recovering from a mild concussion she suffered not too long ago; she ended up falling asleep in the midst of their conversation. Jay looked at the apple of his eye. One of his hands held the steering wheel while the other gently held her hand.

"Silly girl."

He raised the temperature in the car and drove at a steady speed. He was clueless as to how long he ended up driving for before they arrived at Imperial Capital.

Jay parked his four-wheeled drive at the entrance of a mansion in the city's southern suburbs. It was his favorite piece of property amongst the rest that he owned. From the structure and design to its landscape and interior, everything had been decided on and chosen by himself.

It was quite far away from his workplace which was why he seldom lived there. Moreover, he would only stay over whenever he had a long break.

Jay had decided to bring Rose to this mansion because he felt that she needed to recuperate.

When the car stopped, Rose opened her sleepy eyes.

She was tired and exhausted, but it had become a habit for her to be a light sleeper ever since she became a mother. Thus, she sleepily got down the car. When she saw that it was an unfamiliar place, her sleepiness faded.

"Where are we?"

"Garden of A Diary," Jay told her the name of the mansion.

Rose gave him a sourish expression. Why did a man like him give his mansion such a tacky name?

The mansion looked huge and such a name simply did not seem to match it.

"You don't like it?" Jay frowned as a sense of disappointment swept across his heart.

He remembered that when Angeline was younger, she would always chatter with him. "Jaybie, I have a lot of secrets. Do you want to know one of them?"

In the beginning, he would ask her with interest, "Tell me about it?"

Angeline would say, "My secret is that I've loved you for 2000 days already."

"My secret is that I've loved you for 2001 days already."

She had a love diary, but that diary stopped ticking after 3650 days.

A whole ten years!

"If you don't like it, you can change it." Jay put it that way, but his voice was cold. It was obvious that he liked the name "Garden of A Diary".

Rose shrugged her shoulders. "As long as you like it."

The three children were fast asleep. Hence, Jay opened the door with the intention of carrying them out while Rose followed along.

He passed the keys that were in his hand to her and said, "Open the door."

Rose turned toward the European-carving gates and opened the door.

Jay woke Jenson and Baby Robbie up and then carried Baby Zetty out of the car.

Once Rose unlocked the door, she turned around and was dumbfounded to see Jay carrying Baby Zetty, standing in front of her.

"Sir Ares, let me do it!" Rose immediately offered.

Jay said, "You're still nursing an injury! Let me do it."

Then, he carried Baby Zetty and headed inside.

Rose remained rooted in the same spot with a blank mind.

After Jay's proposal to her, he seemed to dislike Zetty less. Was it Zetty's blessing in disguise?

"Aren't you coming in?" Jay stood at the entrance and asked with displeasure when he saw Rose still standing in the foyer, under the cold breeze.

Rose quickly made her way into the house.

"Just randomly choose a room to sleep in for tonight. We'll have a good look around the mansion tomorrow and get you to choose a room that you like," Jay said to her.

Rose looked at Jay in disbelief. 'What is up his sleeves? Why is he being so nice to me all of a sudden?'

That night, Rose slept in the room next to Jay's. She tried to think of all the possible reasons Jay's attitude toward her had changed for the better. However, she was left without an answer. The next morning, Rose was woken up by the children's cheerful screams.

She stood by the huge glass window and watched as the children played naturally in the garden, picking all sorts of insects they could find. Rose smiled at the sight of it.

Only the rich could afford to own such a huge mansion with an enormous garden in the suburbs of Imperial Capital where every inch of land cost an arm and a leg.

Subsequently, someone knocked on her door. Rose walked over to open the door and was greeted by the sight of a kind, middle-aged lady holding a bowl of chicken soup. The lady was standing at the door, smiling at her.

"Young Madam, the young master asked me to send this up to you. He asked that you have this breakfast and sleep awhile more because it wouldn't be good for your stomach to skip breakfast."

Rose was shocked by the attention. It was her favorite chicken soup. To cook it to such a creamy consistency, it had to be cooked more than two hours under a small fire.

Ever since she had her triplets, she never dared wish for a breakfast that she liked.

She looked at the kind lady and sheepishly corrected her, "I'm not married to Sir Ares yet, it's better if you don't address me as your young madam."

"That won't do. Young master gave us his instructions, and we dare not go against him..."

Rose chuckled. It seemed like Sir Ares had a reputation as scary as Hades.

"Where is he?" She asked.

'He left for the office early this morning. He said that he had work to do." "Isn't it a weekend?" Rose immediately pursed her lips and said, "Look at me, what am I asking about?" 'Do you think that just because you're now his almighty wife, you can dictate where he goes?'
