Chapter 351

"He injected liquid HIV into me. Keep your distance so that I won't pass it on to you," said Rose.

Josephine's face paled. "Sister-in-law, you're not lying to me, right? You puked all over me yesterday. I was sleeping with you too."

"Why would I lie to you? Your b*stard of a brother has gone too far. If he hates me, he could simply knife me to death. Why did he resort to such a shameless method?"

The more Rose talked about it, the more angry and sorrowful she became. Her tears never stopped flowing. "Now that I have this kind of disease, even when I die there'll be no one to bury my corpse. Now I've finally seen his cruelty and savagery."

Josephine was stunned.

As she saw Rose tell her story with every fiber of sincerity and heard her heart-rending wails, it did not seem fabricated. Thus, Josephine cried her heart out a s well.

"This is retribution from the heavens indeed. My big brother wanted to exact his revenge on you, yet he got me into this too. Now that I have this sickness, it's okay if I die, but I can't hug my cute little nephews before I die... Baby Zetty too... Sob, sob..." 1

They sympathized with each other's condition,

hugging and crying their hearts out.

When they stopped crying, Josephine asked Rose haggardly, "Sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future?"

Rose replied sorrowfully, "I won't last long in this world anyway. What other ambitions can I have?"

Josephine held her hand, feeling much sympathy for her. "Then, is there anything else that you want to see completed? I'll try to help you in any way I can."

"I want to hug my children again... I also want to..."

Help the Severes rise again...

Josephine replied, "TH make sure you get to see your kids again."

Rose said in dismay, "What's there to see? I'm a walking biohazard right now. Forget it."

Josephine pulled her up instead. "Let's go. I'll drive you over to see your kids. We'll just watch them from afar.

Rose was like a marionette with no strings as she was guided into the car by Josephine.

Josephine had parked her car illegally, thus there was a ticket on the windscreen.

Rose snatched the ticket and stuffed it into Josephine's hand. "Why can't you kick the habit of parking illegally?"

Josephine replied lethargically, "I'm going to die anyway. What's the difference between one ticket and 100? When I'm gone, someone will settle these tickets for me anyway." Rose mumbled, "Whatever floats your boat."

Josephine drove them to Garden Of A Diary.

Rose sat at the back seat, her arm suddenly had an irritating itch.

She folded up her sleeve and saw a bunch of red bumps on her arm. She was shocked into a slump.

"Josephine..." Rose said with a grave voice.

Josephine was startled. She looked back at her, aghast.

"I'm finished," said Rose as she raised her arm.

Josephine hit the brakes and the car halted on the zebra crossing with the traffic lights shining red.

She pulled Rose's arm over and saw those terrifying red bumps. She began to worry.

"Its effects manifest this quickly?"

Rose collapsed in her seat, nodding her head.

"It seems that Grand Asia Pharmaceuticals' stuff is not just for show!"

"Of course. When my big brother wants you dead, there's no escape for you," replied Josephine.

"Sister-in-law, then do you have any symptoms of weakness?"

Rose nodded her head. "Yes, I feel my energy slowly seeping away..."

"Shit!" Josephine mustered her strength and stepped on the gas pedal.

"Sister-in-law, since you're dying, then you should enjoy every last moment you have."

Rose sagged in the back seat and said gloomily, "I still have a secret that I haven't yet told your big brother."

"What secret is that?"

Tears welled up in Rose's eyes, looking as melancholic as ever. "If I say it, I'm afraid that the little hope I have in my heart will be crushed forever."

By not talking about it, she felt that he could still reminisce about the good things about her.

"Then don't say it," replied Josephine.

They soon arrived at the Garden Of A Diary. Jay was accompanying the three children making sandcastles together. In the distance, he suddenly saw Josephine's car parked in the street opposite them.

Josephine rolled down the window and Rose was revealed to her children. 1

"It's Mommy!" Baby Zetty waved her fists in excitement and hollered, "Mommy."

Chapter 352

Chapter 352

A smile appeared in Jay's eyes.

The children rushed across the street in excitement.

However, the car quickly rolled back up.

Jay's expression darkened...

She had decided to come to the Garden of A Diary but wouldn't see her children, what did she mean by this?

Jay walked over with a dim expression on his face.

The children pounced on the car as they cried their hearts out.

"Mommy..."

"Mommy, why won't you come down?"

"Mommy, I miss you..."

Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie almost lost their breath from continuously howling and wailing.

Jenson stood at the side, while his beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Rose covered her face and sobbed. "I regret this.

Josephine, I shouldn't have come here."

Josephine wept with her. "Big sis, it isn't your fault."

"Josephine, let's go," said Rose, unwilling to linger for even a moment more.

The sound of her kids wailing almost broke her.

Josephine revved the car engine. However, just when they are about to leave, Jay stood in front of the car; his face was ashen.

Instantly, Josephine turned off the engine.

"Big brother, you're crazy!"

"Get out of the car!" Jay roared.

Josephine looked back at Rose. "Big sis, what should we do?"

Rose scratched the itch on her arm while sobbing uncontrollably.

"Drive forward, run him over."

Josephine, "..."

Jay,

How much hatred did she have for him?

"Rose Boyle, I'm ordering you to get the hell out of the car," Jay commanded furiously; he was clearly agitated by the three little babies that were crying.

Rose thought that her current sickness and timidness from before was the reason why Jay was now so cocky and domineering. In other words, it enabled him to bully her whenever he wanted.

This time, Rose went all out and roared back at Jay, "I'm never coming down. You-take the kids away!"

Nevertheless, a smile formed on Jay's face. "You have grown some nerve, haven't you?"

How dare she give him a command!

Rose continued to pile it on, "Get out of the way if you don't want to die."

Josephine shuddered. "Big sis, don't go overboard.

You should leave yourself a way out."

"What kind of a way out is there? My life was ruined by his hands." Rose cried out.

Jay's expression was now darker than ever, and he was obviously at the peak of his fury.

Josephine looked at Jay with a mournful look. "Big brother, just leave!"

"Open the door." Jay howled in anger!

Josephine was frightened as she quickly wound down the window.

Next, Jay strode over to the door, opened it, and pulled Rose out of her seat.

"Don't touch me," shouted Rose as she sunk into a corner.

Josephine explained frantically, "Big brother, don't touch her. She might infect you-"

Jay was stunned for a moment. Shortly after, an expression of worry flashed across his eyes.

"What disease?"

Rose had been fine the day before, had she been not?

Chapter 353

Chapter 353

Rose rolled up her sleeve, revealing both her arms that had red bumps all over them. She snapped at him. " You see this? This is all because of you!" Jay felt his pupils shrink as he held her wrist up." What's this all about?"

When his fingers touched her skin, Rose saw hints of concern and worry in Jay's eyes.

Was it an illusion?

She did not have the heart to punish him, but she still kicked at his crotch with all her might.

Jay could not help but stumble back-

"Josephine, drive," roared Rose in hysteria.

The blare of the car horn was long and loud.

Oln the other hand, the children chased after the car while wailing. "Mommy, mommy, come back, can you not leave us?"

Tears flooded Rose's face as she cried with hopelessness.

Jay watched as the car speed off into the distance; the desperate cries of his children stoked his burning desire to win it all back.

"Jenson, come back, all of you."

The children looked back at him, helpless.

"Why did mommy leave me?" Baby Zetty asked sadly.

Jay walked over to her and caressed her head." Mommy is sick, and she's not feeling well. She's afraid that all of you will see her sad."

A dreadful expression appeared on Baby Zetty's face. "Will mommy die? I don't want mommy to die-"

"All of you, be obedient and go back home. Daddy will go after mommy. Daddy promises to bring her to the hospital."

"Mm." The children nodded.

Josephine's car sped past countless traffic lights as she raced across Parker Highway.

A Rolls Royce tailed the sedan.

Josephine was frightened. "Why is my big brother following us? What does he want to do?"

Rose retorted, "If he comes again, I-I won't go easy on him."

Josephine trembled as she looked at Rose. "You have some nerve, kicking my brother in that region."

"He won't let my body be buried, so kicking him is letting him off easy. I shouldn't have done that, I should have-" Rose was at the peak of her fury. "I should have held him and kissed him with all that I had. I should've dribbled all over his body."

Josephine was aghast. "Both of you are meant for each other, seeing you this vengeful."

All of a sudden, Josephine's phone rang.

She glanced at her phone. "My big brother is calling? What should we do? Do I answer it or not?"

Rose peeked out of the window and looked at the Rolls Royce that was speeding next to them. On the other hand, Jay rolled down the window and saw the side of her face; he found it as alluring as ever- something that God had seemingly sculpted himself.

Josephine sighed, knowing her big brother was not one to give up that easily.

Thus, she thought, 'Might as well,' and picked up the phone.

"Josephine, stop the car!"

"Big brother, what are you going to do?"

"I want to send Rose to Grand Asia Hospital.

Josephine looked at Rose once more, seeking her opinion. Rose mumbled, "You're not afraid that I'll taint your property after I die and then haunt you for the rest of your life?"

Jay heard her words. Consequently, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, and his fingers paled because of the force he was exerting.

"Alright, we shall die together then," said Jay as he steered his car.

Josephine was horrified as the car steered aside and stopped at the side of the road.

Subsequently, the Rolls Royce and red Mercedes touched.

Josephine was dumbstruck.

Rose angrily opened the door of her vehicle as Jay opened his as well. She stood before him, arms akimbo. "You want to die, don't you? Alright, I'll grant you your wish." Upon saying that, she grabbed his neck and pushed her lips against his.

Jay was flabbergasted, what madness had struck this woman?

Chapter 354

Chapter 354

Both of them stood on the busy street as they continued to be intimate with each other. It drew the attention of everyone around them.

Jay closed his eyes, clasped his hand around her waist, and thrust himself forward.

Both of them were conjoined with each other.

When Rose had enough, she pushed him away.

"Rose Boyle, do you know what happens after this?" Jay asked as he touched his lips; he was seductive as hell.

Rose noticed the people around her pointing fingers at her. "So this is the woman that Sir Ares fancies. They were a hot topic just a few days ago. Are they on a honeymoon?" Cell phones were held up and lights flashed at Jay over and over.

"Sir Ares is so cool. He's way cooler than those supermodels. For her to have the favor of Sir Ares, did that woman save the universe in her previous life?"

Rose's heart began to quake and rumble.

Consequently, she glared furiously at those darned, smitten, and besotted women. "No, I must have destroyed the damn universe in my past life to have

met him."

Jay's expression darkened. "What has driven you mad?"

Rose looked at him gloomily.

She wanted to tear his pretty face apart so badly!

What was he faking innocence for when he had downed the liquid virus into her. Did he not know the consequences of it?

Jay replied, "You came over to Garden of A Diary and then caused your children to wail. Is this what you have come down to as a mother?"

The moment he mentioned her children, Rose stumbled backward.

Her face quickly turned pale-

Had she been too brazen? She had been too reckless in exacting her vengeance on him.

Had she forgotten that he was still the father of three kids?

If he died, would his children not end up pitiful orphans?

Rose suddenly burst into tears and pounded frantically on his chest. "Why did you come here to die? Why come here to die?"

"If you die, what about our children?" 'Sob sob sob!'

Bystander A, "Is that woman crazy?"

Bystander B, "She looks kind of nuts." 1

Jay glowered at them, "Get the hell out of my sight."

Bight away, the bystanders shut up.

The look in Sir Ares' eyes was immensely scary.

Rose continued to pound on Jay's chest before Josephine promptly got out of the car and pulled her away. "I beg to please stop doing this. You've bitten off more than you can chew, offending my big brother today." 1

Rose threw herself into Josephine's arms. "Josephine, I messed up. I just kissed your brother. What should I do?"

Rose collapsed at the thought of having infected him with that horrifying sickness.

Jay was bewildered, while the two women were exasperated. Why could he not figure out a damn thing they were saying?

"If it's just a kiss, I'll let you kiss me," replied Jay.

Josephine could only explain to her big brother, "Big sis is sick. She was afraid of infecting you."

"What sickness?" Jay wondered.

Josephine looked at the bystanders and thought that it would be shameful to mention the disease in public. Thus, she could only give him hints, "It's that disease.

You know, the one that makes you weak, lethargic, and have red bumps on your skin."

Jay furrowed his brows; he could only think of that terminal disease.

Subsequently, Jay stuffed Rose into the Rolls Royce. "There is a cure for every sickness, follow me to the hospital."

Josephine fired up her car and tailed them.

In the Rolls Royce, both Rose and Jay began squabbling.

"I'm not going to the hospital. I'm ashamed." "There is no shame in being sick."

Chapter 355

Chapter 355

"People will misunderstand me," Rose said as she bit her lip. Additionally, her eyes began tearing up, revealing a pitiful look on her face. 4 "Misunderstand what?" Jay frowned.

'Is she from outer space? Why does everything that comes out of her mouth seem so mysterious and confusing?'

Rose's black, pearly eyes glared at him. "It's because of you. If you want me dead, you can tell me. I can jump off a building, jump into the ocean, or even slit my wrist. There are thousands of ways I can satisfy you. Why did you have to force me to drink that disgusting thing?"

Jay pulled the brakes of the Rolls Royce, stopping by the road.

He looked back at her, the poor little lady with tears on her face, and could not decide whether to laugh or cry.

"You mean to say that I downed that HIV liquid into you, infecting you with that- weird disease?" he asked with uncertainty.

"Did you not? I have red bumps all over my skin, and I feel weak. All of these are its symptoms," Rose replied coldly.

Jay was... dumbstruck.

"Rose Loyle. Why did the piggy die?"

He felt morose only to realize that he had been misled by the two idiots. Not to mention, he only found out after all of that damned soap opera that he had busted out with them on the street and in broad daylight.

Rose was unaware that he was mocking her, so she completed his sentence, "Because it was dumb."

Jay pulled on his lip. "Still can't figure it out?"

Rose finally came to her sense and snapped back," You're insulting me? You're a pig, your entire family is made up of pigs."

Jay's eyes suddenly turned cold.

On the other hand, Rose felt her throat shrink. She was afraid that he would be infuriated.

Jay stepped on the gas with a dark expression on his face.

When they arrived at Grand Asia hospital, Rose clung to the handle beside the car door.

Meanwhile, Jay stood beside the car with a sullen expression on his face. "Rose, come down."

"I'm not going. If I go in, news of me infected with the disease will spread all over town... and I'll lose face forever." "Grand Asia keeps the information of patients confidential." Jay held his patience. "Still, I won't go. If I do, I'll be recorded to have been infected in my history log."

"Rose, you are not infected with that disease. I did not feed you the liquid virus!" Rose was doubtful. "I don't believe you. Then, why was I feeling weak all over?"

"You were scared shitless," said Jay as his lips curved upward.

Rose still did not believe him. "Am I that easily frightened? Not to mention, I... I had red bumps on my skin?"

"Which is why you need a check-up!" replied Jay.

Rose was adamant as she clung on to the handle. "I'm not going."

At this point, Jay's patience had worn out. He roared a t her, "Rose Loyle. Get the hell out here."

Josephine's car was parked behind the Rolls Royce, and she heard her brother's fury-filled voice. As a result, she frantically rushed over. "Big brother, calm down. We'll talk this over." "There is nothing to talk about. Rose Loyle, I'll count to three, if you're not out by then, I'll rip the door open."

Rose let go in fear.

Subsequently, Jay opened the door, bent down, and scooped her up.

Rose was astonished... "Sir Ares, I can walk on my own."

"Weren't you feeling weak?" Jay teased.

A slight smile appeared on Rose's lips. "I was scared shitless, I feel better now?"

Jay ignored her and merely carried her inside.

Josephine scratched her head. "What the hell are they up to now? Do they love each other or want to kill each other?" 2

Josephine chased after them.

Jay sent Rose over to the dermatologist where the top-rated specialist was a cute and lovely old lady. When she took a look at Rose's skin condition, she asked her, "Have you eaten anything that you're allergic to?"

Rose thought about it for a while and then shook her head.

Jay raised his brow, 'This woman thinks her body is like Angeline's eh?'

"Rose, not being allergic when you were a kid does not mean that your body won't change after growing up," Jay vaguely reminded her.

Rose suddenly realized that she was now 'Rose'. Thus, whatever allergies 'Rose' had, she did not know for sure.

"Find out the source of her allergy."

Chapter 356

Chapter 356

Jay thought about it for a moment before adding," Also, let her do a HIV test!"

The doctor's gaze became indescribable.

'The president has such a clean freak personality that such a thing is a requirement for his woman?'

Rose rejected his suggestion, 'Um... I don't need that."

Jay looked at Rose and a smile crept up his face. The latter had her head hung so low that it would burrow into the ground if it were given the chance.

'Is she that shy?'

"Just test for it. One more thing..." Jay's gaze shifted toward Josephine who was standing behind him. "Do a checkup for her as well."

Josephine leaped up. "Brother, what is the meaning of this? Your sister practices abstinence and lives like a celibate nun. How could you be suspicious of me?" Jay relaxed in his seat once he had given his orders.

On the other hand, Rose and Josephine felt depressingly deflated.

Not long after, a nurse came in with syringes and needles to draw the blood of the two ladies.

The results came out right away, but Jay asked for them before it could reach the two women. "Give them

to me!"

Rose wanted to snatch away the results, but Jay lifted them with his hand. He was tall, and with his long arms, Rose could barely reach it.

"Eat more and try to snatch them away from me when you're taller." Jay chided.

Rose looked at him sadly... "Does Grand Asia have any technology to help someone grow taller?" She asked seriously.

Jay, "..."

"There is."

When a ray of hope appeared in Rose's gaze, Jay dashed it with cold hard information, "You've passed puberty."

Rose's expression became dull.

Jay then carefully looked at the three reports.

The first one belonged to Josephine. Once he was sure that it was fine, he returned it to her.

The next was Rose's HIV test. All the results were negative, thus Jay returned it to her after reading it.

Rose was speechless when she saw the results.

When he looked at the third report, Jay saw that Rose's allergy test had plenty of plus signs. Hence, he frowned.

He passed the report to Rose, and when the latter saw four plus signs for mango, she recalled that she had drunk fruit wine the night before.

'Erm...

'So, I was only having an allergic reaction?

'So, Jay had not fed me fluids containing HIV.'

When Rose walked out of the hospital, she felt that Jay's gaze upon her was akin to that of him looking at a clown.

The glee in his eyes was full of tease.

Josephine felt embarrassed as well. She was usually very chatty and noisy. However, she was merely holding Rose's hand at the moment, and her lips were shut. Both of them must have been so embarrassed that they were unaware they had walked into a tree until Rose yelped in pain!

"Ouch!"

"Rose..." Jay suddenly called to her.

Rose turned around, and Jay's gaze fell on her forehead.

Jay's expression darkened when he saw a fresh abrasion on her forehead.

"Get in the car."

"Where are we going?" Rose was alarmed.

"Garden of A Diary."

Rose wrapped her arms around her chest and asked warily, "What are you up to this time?"

Josephine's mouth widened in shock when she heard Rose's question.

'Has my brother done anything to Rose?'

Jay said casually, "I'm going to bring you home to answer the kids."

Rose awkwardly lowered her hands. She had misjudged his intentions.

Chapter 357

Chapter 357

Josephine quickly opened the door of the Rolls Royce and took a seat in the back seat like a loach. "I want to come as well. I miss my darling Jens, Baby Robbie, and Baby Zetty a lot." On the other hand, Rose dilly-dallied her way into the car.

She was worried that Jay would do something bad to her, but she missed her children too much.

Jay looked at the two women sitting in the back and said coldly, "I don't want to drive."

Josephine and Rose looked at each other; it meant that one of them would have to sit with the devil.

A moment later, Rose scooted out of the car and said," I'll drive then."

She would rather die than sit with Jay.

Jay asked her coldly, "Do you have a driver's license?"

Rose depressingly returned to her seat.

Angeline had a driver's license and knew how to drive. However, she was not Rose Boyle.

Josephine sighed in resignation. "Okay, I'll drive."

She was beginning to wonder if her brother was using her as an unpaid chauffeur.

The moment Josephine exited the back seat, Jay gracefully got into the car took a seat beside Rose. Immediately, the latter felt as if winter had arrived early.

She buttoned up her collar but was still unable to protect herself from the cold that was being emitted from the man next to her. Jay was like an ice sculpture.

"Turn on the heater if you're feeling cold." Jay glanced at her with his deep gaze.

Rose looked out of the window and at the bright sun. It was the middle of autumn but, the midday sun was still warm. It counteracted the cold autumn temperatures, and thus, resulted in rather comfortable weather.

Would turning on the heater now not result in the opposite effect?

Josephine did not understand what was going on and simply turned on the heater.

Not long after, everyone in the car was drenched in sweat due to the heat.

Jay removed his coat and placed it on his knees.

He was dressed in an azure blue shirt. Each of the shirt's exquisite buttons was buttoned up, and the collar brought out the contours of his jawline. This made his already magnificent self even more alluring. As a result, Rose, who was sitting next to him, began t

o feel wary.

Jay undid the first button of his shirt... it was the only way he could feel a little cooler.

Rose could not help but steal a glance at his sexy Adam's apple. Consequently, it led her to think about whatever was below his Adam's apple-his perfect body figure that was better than a supermodel's body. Instantly, she became flushed.

Jay glanced sideways to observe Rose. Although she had turned away from him, he could see the redness in the skin of her ears. A proud smile crept up his lips.

"It's so hot!" Josephine was agitated by the heat and turned around to look at Rose who was still dressed in layers.

"Rose, aren't you hot?"

Rose said, "I don't feel hot as I have a weak body."

Jay looked at the fine beads of sweat on her forehead and pulled out a tissue to pass to her. "Wipe your sweat away."

Josephine,"..."

Rose, "..."

Rose embarrassingly accepted the tissue and wiped her sweat.

Josephine looked at Rose, whom her brother hated so much. The latter no longer had any dignity, and Josephine felt the need to speak up for her.

"Brother, can't you tell that she is not fond of removing her coat in front of you?"

Evidently, Jay had noticed it.

Josephine added, "A lady like Rose is already considered an endangered species-to be able to calmly sit still in your presence. You should appreciate her. Stop bullying her!" Jay nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm."

'We've seen each other unclothed so many times, yet she's still so shy. She's indeed an endangered species.

Chapter 358

Chapter 358

The Rolls Royce was just about to come to a halt at Garden of A Diary. However, Rose leaped out of the car before it could come to a complete stop.

When the children saw their mommy, they ran over excitedly to her.

"Mommy, mommy!"

Rose opened her arms wide and hugged the three children tightly.

Baby Zetty cried childishly, "Mommy, I missed you very, very much!"

A sense of guilt rose within Rose's heart.

She could not find peace within as she had abandoned her children.

Baby Robbie suddenly spoke up, "Mommy, daddy said you were ill and that was why you were hiding from u s. Mommy, don't be afraid. No matter how you are, we won't despise you." Rose was shocked as warmth surged into her heart.

It was a feeling that her children and Jay gave her collectively. She was grateful that he had preserved her dignity in front of the children.

Jenson said, "Alright, mommy is tired. Let her get into the house to have some rest."

The three children surrounded their mother as they made their way into the house.

Josephine who was behind them appeared disappointed. "Those three brats always mistreat me but treat their mommy so well? That's a rather huge difference in behavior."

Jay said nonchalantly, "If you like children, then get a man to have children."

Josephine halted her footsteps and looked at Jay. It was as if the curse that had restricted her for thousands of years had finally been lifted.

"Brother, are you serious? You're not going to go back on your words?"

Jay nodded and said solemnly, "Josephine, you're not young anymore, I shall not restrict your circle of friends. If..."

Josephine stiffened up mentally.

Jay paused for a moment before he continued, "If you've met a boy that you like, bring him home for us to have a look."

Josephine excitedly hugged Jay. "Thank you, big brother."

Then, she looked up and said with a smile, "Whoopee! I've finally received freedom."

Once she had calmed down from her laughter, she eyed Jay suspiciously. "Brother, why have you

abruptly released me from your control?"

Jay's gaze landed on Rose's petite and weak figure...

He loved Angeline deeply; he had always wanted to protect her within his castle walls, shielding her from any harm. Nonetheless, he ended up accidentally bringing her so much hurt in the process. Jay finally understood that love was not all sweet.

He had encircled Josephine in an attempt to protect her from getting hurt by jerks. However, the truth was, whenever there was love, hurt was bound to exist.

"I can't handle any more of it." Jay frowned.

Baby Zetty was a spoiled princess, while Rose was stubborn as a bull. It was tiring enough to handle two masters.

As for Josephine, he should leave her to another man to take care of!

Josephine burst out in laughter!

She had never expected her big brother, who had always won, to experience such frustration.

Josephine gleefully ran over to Rose and pushed the three brats aside. "Shoo, shoo away. You little devils, please stand aside, I have good news to share with your mommy."

The children looked at Josephine in deep suspense.

Josephine hooked one of her hands on Rose's arm. Then, she neared Rose's ear and whispered, "Big sis, my brother is not going to control me anymore. I can seek love freely now. Do you think I should look for Zayne Severe?"

Rose was dumbfounded.

When Jay walked past the two women, he paused for a moment and glanced at them with his sharp gaze.

Consequently, Rose and Josephine straightened their posture immediately.

"Brother, can I take my sister-in-law out for a while?" Josephine submitted her request.

Jay looked over at his three children that were huffing angrily and firmly declined, "No. Return Rose to Baby Zetty and the rest." Josephine sighed.

Rose took Baby Zetty's hand and then gently ruffled

Jenson and Baby Robbie's heads. "Let's go in."

Chapter 359

Chapter 359

Baby Robbie served Rose a cup of hot tea. "Mommy, have a drink."

Baby Zetty lovingly massaged Rose's back.

Jenson stood by the side, not knowing what to do.

Rose felt touched by her children's love and tears formed in her eyes.

"Mommy, stay here," Jenson bit his lips and suddenly spoke up.

Rose looked at Jenson and tears rolled down her eyes. She reached out her hand, and Jenson approached her to be hugged.

When Jay walked in, he saw the group of four-mother -and-children lovingly bundled together.

Consequently, he halted his steps for a moment before heading upstairs.

In the study, in Jay's office chair, Jay could be seen leaning on the chair and looking up at the white ceiling board.

What should he do to make her stay willingly?

A knock was then heard from his study door.

Jay glanced over to see Josephine carrying a cup of tea. Shortly after, she asked, "Brother, can I come in?"

Jay nodded.

Josephine walked over and passed Jay the tea. "Have a drink."

Jay straightened his body, took the cup, and looked at Josephine who did not look like she was about to leave. "Anything?"

Josephine laughed sheepishly.

"Just say it if you've got something on your mind," Jay, who was annoyed, told her.

Josephine said, "Brother, I don't know if you love her, but I can see that you want her to stay."

Jay looked at Josephine, his gaze was deep and unreadable.

Josephine looked like a relationship counselor that could see through everything. "Are you planning to fight fire with fire your whole life?"

Jay tasted the tea. It was a cup of rich and fragrant rose tea; it made him frown.

He was not used to drinking scented tea.

Jay held the cup up and looked at Josephine with displeasure.

Josephine casually explained, "Oh, it's rose tea. Big sis loves it."

Subsequently, Jay placed the cup of tea on the table.

Josephine said, "Look at you. You're thirsty, yet you're not willing to humble yourself to drink the same tea a s her. Brother, if you go on with your current ways, you're just going to create more distance between yourself and her..."

Jay looked up as if Josephine had stepped on his wounds. On the other hand, Josephine thought that he was going to get angry.

After all, Jay had always considered Josephine as a little girl who knew nothing. A proud person like him would never allow an inexperienced girl like her to educate him, would he?

Go on.

Josephine was slightly taken aback and surprised.

Nevertheless, she continued to speak her mind like a child who had been given an award.

"Brother, there are many kinds of women. For materialistic women, any wealthy man could be their husband. Once such a woman has been knocked up, she will willingly stay by your side." Jay's expression froze. 'Wasn't that the case with all women?

'Didn't that bastard John tell me that to conquer her heart, I must first conquer her body?

'It's obvious now, Rose isn't that kind of woman.'

Josephine smiled at the sight of Jay's expression. The latter appeared to be like a good student, ready to learn.

"As for Big sis, she's different from other women. She's not materialistic. Instead, she has her pride and arrogance. For such women, you have to show your patience and determination. You need to respect her, give her enough space and freedom, maintain your gentlemanly demeanor, and stand in a place where she can notice your glowing attraction..."

Suddenly, Josephine leaned forward and said to Jay in a serious tone, "Brother, trust me, you're a walking pheromone. Even if you don't do anything, Bose will eventually come to you!"

Jay's expression darkened. "Walking pheromone?"

Josephine covered her mouth and laughed dryly. "My bad, you're a walking ice sculpture."

Jay fell back into his thoughts.

'Had I harshly forced Rose into a corner? Is that why I'm experiencing negative consequences from her now?'

Josephine thought about something before advising Jay solemnly, "Didn't you use to despise and humiliate her? She isn't someone without feelings, and she remembers all of it. If you must do something, then remember this, never repeat that mistake. Such actions like using money to humiliate her and forcing her to do things against her will are a no-no. Please remember this."

Jay felt as if he was trapped in an ice cave.

In the past, he had attempted to use money to take away the children's custody rights.

Later, he had tried to use sex to keep her from leaving.

Josephine noticed the deflated expression on her brother's face and sighed heavily. "Don't tell me you've committed those two mistakes?" Josephine facepalmed her forehead and said before leaving with a sad expression on her face, "Then you're doomed."

Outside the window, Rose could be seen playing with the children in the garden.

The children's laughter could be heard from Jay's study. Jay walked over to the window, drew the curtain, and quietly observed them.

Surrounded by her children, Rose had a bright smile on her face. It was as if she neither had any weakness nor submissiveness when she was with her children. Jay revealed a gentle smile.

Once Mrs. Zonder had made lunch, the children dragged Rose to the dining table.

Rose felt rather out of place as she glanced at Jay with a tremulous feeling.

Jay seemed to have noticed what was going on in her mind and felt his heart ache.

'Josephine is right. Rose has a sensitive soul. Her

pride doesn't allow anyone to look down on her or trample on her.

'I think only someone who has experienced plenty of misfortune could have such complex character.'

"Sit down!" His voice had a tiny hint of desolation.

'We're all puppets in the hands of fate.

'Our relationship has strained to such an extent.'

"Thank you." Rose was grateful that he was still a gentleman to her in front of the children.

Baby Robbie pulled Rose next to Jay. "Mommy, sit down."

Rose felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles.

While the family was enjoying their meal, Jay's phone rang.

When Jay answered the phone, he was greeted with Sean Bell's exasperated voice, "Master Ares, what is the meaning of you locking me up for so many days? You only lost a few scripts, do you need to be so childish?"

The cutlery that Rose was holding fell out of her hands.

Jay noticed her panicked look. "Why? Are you worried about him?"

Rose said with much difficulty, "Sir Ares, it's better to make more friends than enemies."

Jay was pleased with her answer and nodded.

Lean's exasperated voice was once again heard over the phone, "Master Ares, are you even listening to me speaking to you?"

Jay said, "I am."

"So what is the meaning of all this? Till when are you going to lock me up?"

Jay replied slowly, "My apologies. I've been busy throughout the past two days and forgot about you."

One could feel Lean's melancholy over the phone.

Jay glanced at Rose with a deep yet unreadable gaze.

"Pass the phone to Storm!"

"Hello, president!" Storm's voice was heard across the phone.

"Why are you still keeping him? You're wasting food resources." Storm, "..."

"Let him go."

"As instructed, president."

Rose heaved a sigh of relief.

The moment Jay hung up the call, he looked at Rose thoughtfully.

"I'll let him off the hook this time for your sake."

Rose, 'Since when has he ever given me any dignity?'

Josephine said, "Brother, aren't you afraid that Bell Enterprise's film company will surpass Ares Films once you release Sean Bell?"

Jay said, "The Moonlit Sky's screenplay involves a magnificent fantasy background. In this country, there is only one director who can turn the screenplay into a perfect movie. That director is Wilson Winslow, who happens to be a lifelong staff member under Ares Enterprise."

Rose quietly ate her food with her head lowered; she was deep in thought.
