Ch. 41..50

Chapter 41

Jay put his foot down without hesitation. "Dad, she already has a new family and her own kids. She won't be able to give Jenson her undivided maternal love. Please don't tell Jenson that she's his mother.

Don't bring his hopes up just to disappoint him."

The old man looked at the angry look on his son's face and persisted, "Jay, even if you hate her, she's still Jenson's mother. The love between a mother and her child can never be severed. Why don't you oper up your heart and let them know each other? For Jenson's sake."

When Jay left the old man's study, he felt more disoriented than ever.

It was very late when they left Grandpa and Grandma's house. Jay walked out of the villa, holding Baby Robbie with one arm. Baby Robbie waved goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma enthusiastically. ' Goodbye, Grandpa. Goodbye, Grandma. Goodbye, Aunt Josephine."

After bidding his farewells, Baby Robbie hugged Daddy's neck. 'Daddy's so strong. He can pick me up with one arm,' he thought wonderingly. Baby Robbie was enjoying the feeling of having a daddy. "Daddy, I want an up up!" Baby Robbie had always envied other children riding on their daddy's shoulders. Finally, he had the opportunity to

experience it himself.

Jay's face tightened up slightly, "Did Rose teach you that?"

Baby Robbie nodded. "Yep."

Jay considered Rose's petite body. 'Having a five-year-old Jenson ride on her shoulders must have worn her out.'

Little did he know, the last time Baby Robbie asked for "up up" from Mommy was a long time ago.

"Come on." Jay placed Baby Robbie on the ground and his slender figure squatted down. Baby Robbie jumped on his back and straddled his neck comfortably. 1

"Let's go!" Baby Robbie cheered happily.

At that moment, he was truly over the moon to have a daddy.

He secretly vowed that he would make the best Mommy in the world and the best Daddy in the world stay together forever. When that happened, the three of them would be the happiest children in the world. "Daddy! Can I ask you for something..." Baby Robbie hugged Daddy's head and his voice suddenly softened. He was being almost unbearably cute.

"What is it?"

"Daddy, since you've fired Rose, she doesn't have a job anymore. Can you give her a job at your company?" Baby Robbie figured if Mommy worked in Daddy's company, she would have more opportunities to meet him.

Jay's face showed signs of reluctance. He did not want to be involved with Rose anymore.

Baby Robbie's cutesy act intensified. "Daddy, please. Rose helped me a lot. She really is nice to me. If I don't help her, I won't be able to look at myself in the mirror." Jay was helpless under his son's guise. "Alright, Daddy will find her a job, but not in Daddy's company."

"Why not?"

"She lacks education and working experience. Grand Asia just isn't the type of company that recruits newcomers without qualified working experience." Jay said flatly.

Baby Robbie began fussing. "Daddy, you're wrong," he pouted. "Rose has good qualifications. She graduated at the top of her class at First Academy. She knows a lot of things."

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Jay felt like he just heard a tremendous joke, his cold and handsome face freezing on the spot.

'Rose, a top student at First Academy?

'She should take a good look at herself in the mirror before spewing such nonsense. Each and every student from First Academy is an outstanding person.

'How could she lie to Jenson like that?' 1

"Jenson," Jay spoke in a level voice, "even if she's a First Academy graduate, her professional knowledge and proficiency cannot meet the requirements to become a Grand Asia employee. Daddy can't admit her exceptionally because it'll be unfair to other candidates."

Jay was appalled by Rose's shameless lies, but he still felt reluctant to outright defame Rose in front of" Jenson".

It was his way of protecting his son-he did not want to be the one to shatter the beautiful image of Mommy in his heart.

Baby Robbie was very confident in Mommy's ability. H e persevered and begged Jay, "Daddy, believe me. Rose is really good. Please let her work at your company? Pretty please?"

Jay was befuddled. "Jenson" had never begged him

for anything. It was such a rare event, and there was so much sincerity in his plea, that Jay could not bring himself to reject his son's fragile heart.

He thought for a while before he finally conceded. "Alright. Daddy will give her a call tomorrow and invite her to apply for the company, how does that sound?"

Baby Robbie cheered happily, "Woohoo!"

Jay murmured to himself thoughtfully, 'Even if I smacked the job advertisement right on top of her face, would she be bold enough to apply?'

To prevent "Jenson" from being disappointed, Jay deliberately lowered his expectation first.

"Jenson, Daddy can only give her the chance to apply for Grand Asia. Whether or not she can land a spot Grand Asia will all depend on her performance. If she does not pass the stages, don't be too disappointed. Daddy can make an arrangement for her to work in my friend's company, okay?"

"Jenson" showed unwavering trust in Rose. "Daddy, don't worry, Rose will definitely get through the tests."

Baby Robbie thought about it privately. His hacking knowledge came from Mommy. If he was able to easily compromise Grand Asia's network, it meant that the technical personnel responsible for network security in Grand Asia were no match for Mommy.

Jay shook his head helplessly and sighed when he saw his son's immense confidence in Rose.

'Rose is just an illegitimate girl from the countryside. Even the university she attended was just an ordinary local college. I don't know what kind of ideas she's been putting in Jenson's head to make him so obsessed with her.

'But maybe...'

He should uncover her facade to prove that a woman like her who cooked lies to curry favor with a kid was ultimately nothing but talk. Finally, Jenson would be able to see the truth about her. He wanted to teach Jenson not to be obsessed over someone's outer appearance and illusion. 2

After Baby Robbie returned to the villa, he sneaked out while his dad was asleep and secretly sent a voice message to Jenson via his smartwatch. "Make sure Mommy accepts the job interview for Grand Asia. After Jenson received the message, he gave a little smile. "Roger that!" he sent back.

The next day.

Splendid Town.

When Rose woke up, she found a watercolor painting On the bed. It was a germinating seed that came out of the ground, under the wind and rain. In the background, there was a woman's back leaving the little plant.

When Rose saw the painting, she could not help but think about poor Jenson. Suddenly, tears started

flowing out of her eyes.

For a child without his mother, even if he could live an extravagant life, he would be just like this forgotten seed. Having to go through many hardships of the weather right after breaking out of the ground. 1 The thought of the motherless Jenson was absolutely heartbreaking.

At that moment, Jenson quietly walked over and stood silently beside Mommy's bed, looking at her intently.

Chapter 43

Chapter 43

He did not mean to make Mommy cry but he had agreed with Baby Robbie to convince Mommy to apply for Grand Asia.

Jenson was not too sure how to go about it so he tried to give Mommy a subtle hint through his drawing, trying to convey how much he needed Mommy.

He hoped that Mommy would understand the message behind the painting and it would prompt her to accept Grand Asia's recruitment application.

At that moment, Jay tried to call her. Rose glanced at the unfamiliar number on her phone's screen and ignored it.

"Mommy, your phone!" Jenson piped up, handing the phone to Mommy.

The unknown number on the caller ID was very familiar to Jenson. He already knew who was calling on the other line. It was a call from Daddy. Jenson helpfully brought Rose's mobile phone and handed it to her. Not wanting to disappoint her son, she picked up the phone and connected the line.

"Rose..."

When Jay's icy voice was heard on the other line, Rose jumped slightly.

"Are you interested in applying for Grand Asia?" Jay's

voice said in a flat tone.

"Apply for Grand Asia?" Rose was astonished. If she received this offer as Angelina, it would not be a surprise.

However, she was Rose now! In Jay's head, she was a vulgar housewife devoid of decent education!

"Sir Ares, why are you doing this?" Rose wondered why Jay was being nice to her all of a sudden.

Jay said tersely, "Jenson asked me to."

Rose was stunned. Why did Jenson suddenly think of finding a job for her? Was he worried that she was unemployed after she was fired by his father?

'So it seems like Jenson has a soft underbelly hidden under his cold facade.'

After waiting for ages for Rose's response, Jay was losing his patience and with a hint of anger entered his tone. "What's wrong? Are you too afraid to come?"

Before Rose could respond, Jay's sharp tongue lashed out again. "Next time, don't brag about your prowess in front of the child. You're asking for trouble. Rose, if you don't want to embarrass yourself, you can just explain to Jenson yourself why you won't be able to attend..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Rose immediately chimed in. "Rest assured, Sir Ares, I'll definitely be there."

Jay was speechless.

'This woman is the epitome of ignorance.' "Rose, let me tell you something. If you think I'll make it easier for you, you're in for a real disappointment."

To his surprise, Rose's response was tough and gritty." I've done a lot of things in life but I've never taken the easy route."

Jay's face twitched. 'Did a dog steal the woman's idea of herself?'

"So, Miss Rose. What position are you applying for? The cleaning staff? I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that Grand Asia isn't short on cleaning staff."

'Why is this person constantly looking down on me?' Rose thought spitefully. She gritted her teeth." Network security."

Jay's face darkened...

The entirety of Grand Asia's network security, be it for the broadcast department, electronics department, new media department, catering department, entertainment department... All the network security of Grand Asia throughout the entire country was the responsibility of Jay Ares.

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

It seemed like Rose applying for a post directly under his department meant that she was not ready to give up on her old antics.

"Very well. Remember to report to the Human Resources Department in the Grand Asia headquarters at ten o'clock in the morning. I'll make sure the interviewers in the Human Resources Department give you a grand welcome." Jay gritted his teeth and emphasized the word "grand".

Rose could feel his heavy contempt over her phone. "Thank you very much, Sir Ares!" Even though she was terrified of what was to come, she still maintained her tough demeanor.

After she hung up the phone, Rose put on some light makeup.

Although it was a light and natural makeup, her porcelain white skin and soft facial features combined with a thin layer of powder made her look particularly noble. Coupled with her hair tied into a high bun and her fancy light purple fishtail lace skirt, she was instantly reborn into a beautiful fairy-like creature.

Zetty took out Mommy's white Michael Kors bag. In a soft voice, she said sweetly, "Mommy, this bag suits today's makeup very well. Mommy looks just like a fairy. You look so beautiful."

Rose took the bag and gave Zetty a kiss. She winked at Zetty playfully and said, "Does Mommy look like a cleaning lady?"

Jay claimed that she was only qualified for Grand Asia's cleaning staff; she was eager to show him how very wrong he was.

Jenson was a bit worried. His Daddy's company had a strict recruitment standard which implied that only the competent ones would be promoted. The ones with merely passable abilities would only hang around as subordinates, and the weaker ones would be fired. Although Mommy was very beautiful, he was not sure if her skills would catch Daddy's eye.

"Mommy, you should go now." Jenson was afraid that Mommy would be late-tardiness was never tolerated a t Grand Asia. That was why he reminded Rose.

Rose looked at her watch. It was still early. "I have to send the two of you to kindergarten first."

Jenson immediately shot down the suggestion. He said firmly, "No. You should go to the interview now."

Rose was taken aback. Baby Robbie seemed to care a lot about her job. Rose walked over and rubbed "Baby Robbie's" head and asked dotingly, "Baby Robbie, do you want Mommy to work at Grand Asia tha badly?"

"Baby Robbie" nodded his head feverishly. He most certainly wanted Mommy to work at Grand Asia as it would give Mommy and Daddy the opportunity to meet. That was both his and Baby Robbie's greatest wish.

Rose nodded. Although she did not know why her son was being so particular and a little weird, she thought that perhaps he had simply matured and grown more sensible. He probably wanted her to go back to what she liked working in.

"Mommy won't let you down." Rose smiled. 1

When Rose rushed to Grand Asia's Human Resources Department, it was exactly ten o'clock, i

The interviewers had braced themselves and been waiting for a long time. When Rose pushed open the door, the interviewers' eyes lit up.

A gust of wind blew gently as a fairy presented herself!

That was their first impression of Rose.

Rose walked gracefully and calmly toward the several interviewers with a charming and confident smile on her face. "A very good morning to all of you."

She spoke with perfectly received pronunciation that made her sound like a television presenter.

The interviewer looked at each other doubtfully, they wondered why the candidate seemed vastly different from what was described by Mr. Ares.

'Didn't he say that she was uneducated, vulgar, and untalented?'

"Your name?" an examiner asked curtly, suspecting that Rose had gone to the wrong place.

"Rose Loyle," Rose replied in the same clear voice.

"What position are you applying for?"

"Network security specialist."

The interviewer pointed to the computer beside them. "Miss Rose, this is the question specifically designed by Mr. Ares for you. If you can successfully access Grand Asia's website and hack into any computer in our headquarters, you pass."

Rose walked toward the computer and started working at once.

 

 

Chapter 46

Chapter 46

Rose nodded. "Yes, it was me." She offered him a charming and rather pompous smile. 1

"Very well." Jay's lips curled into a smile as well, although the emotion it contained was hard to determine. "Come with me."

As Rose left with the president, she could hear the interviewers mutter solemn prayers for her, "Miss, you better start praying for yourself!"

Rose could not help but feel a tinge of regret. Although she could argue that he personally said that she could hack anyone's computer within the headquarters, there was no guarantee that he would not give her trouble for it!

Jay brought Rose to his private office. He sat down on the luxurious black leather sofa and examined the woman in front of him with his hawk-like eyes, observing sharply from above.

Rose's makeup was natural, refined, fresh, and professional. It was also a little elegant and that caught Jay off guard for the slightest of moments.

'I didn't expect the woman from the boonies to clean up so well... If I must say, she looks quite pleasing,' he thought.

Rose looked at Jay tentatively, not having a single clue as to what was going to happen to her.

She thought that she should at least take the initiative. "Sir Ares, I was told that I could hack into any computer in the headquarters. I had no idea that you were in a meeting. I've done nothing wrong. You can't fault me for merely following orders." 1

Jay straightened his back. He was a highly principled person who valued commitment. Although he was not happy with the result, Rose's ability gave him no reason to reject her.

Jay held out the various position tags toward Rose." You can have any of these positions. Make your choice." 1

Rose felt as if she had won five million dollars in a lottery. She was so stunned that she forgot how to reach her hand out.

After holding up the tags for quite some time, Jay unceremoniously tossed the tags on the table. He really had no patience when he had to deal with her.

Finally returning to her senses, Rose hastily picked up a position tag to take a better look. When she saw that the position offered was that of the president's assistant, she glanced at the man opposite her with a pang of guilt in her heart.

Jenson's helpless and pitiful face swam into her mind. 'If I become his assistant, I'll have more chances to see Jenson.'

However, she still did not know exactly how much Jay detested her.

She clutched the tag and her thoughts began spiraling.

'Between the father and son, I can only help one person after all, huh?'

"I choose this one." Rose pointed to the position of the president's assistant. She gritted her teeth, ready to risk everything.

Jay's hawkish gaze landed on the tag under Rose's long, jade-like fingers. When he read the words " Assistant to the President", any remaining pleasantness on his face completely vanished. "And what makes you think you're qualified for this position?" Jay hissed coldly.

Rose heard his contempt but she could only answer it as if he was an actual interviewer. "I believe that I possess hacking skills surpassing the ordinary and I also have excellent managing capabilities. That, I feel, qualifies me for the position of assistant to the president."

Jay looked at Rose's clear eyes. Whenever she lied, her eyes flickered and the guilt was written on her face. Despite being a compulsive liar, she looked sincere when talking about business. Jay found the extraordinary sense of confidence that filled her eyes very alluring.

He was a little confused. 'Where did she learn such great workplace skills?'

"I want the details of your work experience over the

past few years," Jay said quietly.

Rose knew she had no reason to refuse his question. She should have provided her resume. It was a normal thing for the president to know about his new employee's past experiences.

However, it was exactly this question that stumped Rose.

She bowed her head in embarrassment. "I have no work experience," she muttered, i

She was telling the truth. Her hacking skills were a boon from Angelina's memories. Angelina was the top student in First Academy where she majored in network security. Even though Rose received this gift of an ability, she had not used it to look for jobs in reputable companies.

Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Jay's eyes narrowed as he pondered about what he knew of Rose's secret.

A few years ago, he hired someone to investigate her. She could not have faked her poor education. Her major in college was literature and journalism. It was totally irrelevant to network security. So how did she learn this remarkable hacking technique?

Rose realized that if she did not give him a clear reply, Jay's suspicion toward her would not end. If he got someone to investigate her because of that, he might discover Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty. If that happened, Rose felt that her losses would outweigh her gains.

"I was self-taught," Rose said abruptly.

Jay stared directly at her eyes and confusion filled his head. "You got this good from learning it yourself?" he asked disbelievingly.

A third-rate junior college student with mediocre qualifications taught herself how to hack and managed to hack his computer?

'Could it be that she's a genius in disguise?'

Jay gazed searchingly at Rose's eyes. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled gently. He was sure. Was she lying

again?

"Remember to come to work on time next Monday." Jay finally spoke after a long silence.

He seemed to have developed a tiny spark of interest in that woman.

Rose breathed a sigh of relief.

After the interview, Rose did not linger and left Grand Asia at once.

Jay turned on the surveillance monitor. His eyes were locked on the screen as he stared at the back of Rose's graceful and calm body, doubt creeping into his face.

Did he not take a good look at her before? Or was she like a butterfly that had just broken out of her cocoon; her beauty and grace all emerging at once?

Why could he not shake off the feeling that she was completely different from the last time he knew her?

At Grand Asia's entrance, Baby Robbie sat on the leather sofa in the waiting room. Out of nervousness, he rubbed his tiny hands constantly as he glanced at the elevator's direction from time to time. When he knew Mommy came to apply, he could not wait to see her. He would be able to see his Mommy soon. However, he had to remind himself that Mommy saw him as Jenson so he had to pretend to be quiet and cold. Otherwise, his astute Mommy would recognize him immediately.

When Rose walked out of the elevator, Baby Robbie rushed toward Mommy like a soft bullet. He had not seen Mommy in two whole days. 'I miss Mommy so much!'

Baby Robbie held Rose's head tightly. He had a lot to say to Mommy but he dared not say too much lest he blew his cover. 2

Rose happily returned the right hug to Baby Robbie.

"Baby Robbie." Rose held the boy's small face in her hands and asked gently, "Why are you here?"

Baby Robbie was dumbfounded. Did Mommy recognize him already? How?

Jay saw the encounter between "Jenson" and Rose through the monitor and stormed out of the office with a darkened face.

"Jenson!"

Just as Rose was about to bring Baby Robbie home, Jay suddenly appeared in front of them. 1

Rose went pale. She immediately hid Baby Robbie behind her and guarded him like a lieutenant in a hurry.

She had already given Jenson to him. There was no way she would hand Baby Robbie to him too!

Chapter 48

Chapter 48

Jay's eyes narrowed menacingly when he saw Rose covering "Jenson" like a hen protecting her chicks.

He felt a flick of annoyance, Jenson was his son, after all. 'Who does she think she is, taking Jenson from me?'

"Come over here, Jenson." Jay reached out and tried to take "Jenson" away.

Baby Robbie drooped his head. The order was hard for him to obey.

It stood to reason that his current identity was "Jenson " and he should follow Daddy.

However, Mommy recognized him as Baby Robbie and Mommy would never let him be abducted by Daddy. Daddy and Mommy were competing over him, what was he to do?

Rose held Baby Robbie tightly in her arms without showing any signs of releasing him.

She was afraid that when Baby Robbie was brought back to the Ares household, Jay would find out that he had two sons.

When that time came, he was going to take both Jenson and Baby Robbie away and she would lose both of her sons.

That was absolutely unacceptable to her.

"Jenson?" Jay's eyes were puzzled.

'Even if Jenson liked Rose a lot, would he abandon his actual father for her?' he thought.

'And Jenson isn't even aware that Rose is his Mommy yet! It doesn't make sense for him to depend on Rose so much!'

Baby Robbie looked at Daddy's increasingly cold eyes and then Mommy's gleaming ones. He was a filial baby and did not want Daddy and Mommy to be unhappy by fighting over him.

Baby Robbie thought he might as well get out of Mommy's arms. He clutched his stomach and lied," Ouch, my stomach hurts. I need to go to the bathroom."

After that, he ran desperately toward the bathroom with his short, stumpy legs.

Rose was still worried about Baby Robbie and wanted to stay close to him. However, Jay casually blocked her way with her long legs. He said coolly, "He went to the men's toilet. Are you going there too?"

Rose choked and could not find her words.

"I'm going to wait for him outside the toilet." Rose stuttered.

Jay gnashed his teeth. "He's my son. Rose, you're no longer his nanny. You have neither the right nor the obligation to intervene with Jenson's business." "But he..." Rose looked up. She wanted to announce that that boy was her Baby Robbie, not his Jenson. However, she did not dare to reveal the truth.

Under Jay's deadly gaze, Rose was utterly defeated. 1

Jay walked toward the bathroom.

Baby Robbie was coming out of the bathroom when he was caught by Jay. Jay's big hands grabbed one of his small ones and he marched them upstairs.

Rose was frozen in place, a look of helplessness on her face.

When Baby Robbie glanced back and took in Mommy's sorry appearance, he was absolutely devastated.

Jay threw Baby Robbie into his office and asked Grayson to look after the child while he hurried to finish the rest of the meeting.

Grayson was none too pleased but he did not have the courage to disobey the president's orders.

Thus, he ended up sitting nervously in front of the " little devil".

Baby Robbie blinked harmlessly at Grayson, trying to figure the man out. He needed to get rid of the stunned and timid man; he was anxious about Mommy and he needed to see her at once.

"Mister, if my daddy comes back and finds me missing, how will he punish you?" Baby Robbie flashed a cute expression while he tried to chat with Grayson.

"If you're gone, your daddy will probably make me disappear from the face of this earth," Grayson exclaimed exasperatedly, staring at Baby Robbie with frustration. Grayson did not even dare to blink for fear that Jay's little son would magically disappear into thin air if he did.

Chapter 49

Chapter 49

"If you magically disappeared, how would Daddy punish me?" Baby Robbie continued asking innocently.

Grayson was caught off guard by his question. "If I disappeared," he said grimly, "Mr. Ares probably won't give it much thought."

Baby Robbie's bright eyes blinked. "Oh, so it's better for you to disappear."

Grayson eyed Baby Robbie suspiciously. "Hmm. Did the sun rise from the West today? You look a little different today, Master Jenson." Baby Robbie got up from the sofa and walked toward Grayson with his arms outstretched. There was a faint smile on his face.

"Mister, is it because I've been talking a lot today?"

"Not just that, but your face also looks more expressive today," Grayson said thoughtfully.

Baby Robbie continued walking toward him. "Mister, if you raise your hands, there will be another surprise!"

Grayson slowly raised his hands without question. Suddenly, Baby Robbie pulled off his tie and bound Grayson's hands behind his neck with it.

"Master Jenson, what are you doing?" Grayson yelped.

"Don't be afraid, mister. I'm just playing a game with you." Baby Robbie pulled out some rope from the office and tied Grayson up like a rice dumpling. "Jenson, what are you trying to do?"

"Mister, we're simulating an escape room game. I'll give you half an hour and you'll have to find a way to untie the rope within this duration. Tell me, can you do it?" "Jenson's" face was innocent and harmless as if he would never hurt a fly. Grayson looked at that face and nodded curtly. "I can do that."

Baby Robbie found a roll of tape and Grayson felt that the situation was escalating. He was starting to get a little scared. "Master Jenson, what are you going to do?"

Baby Robbie said airily, "Since we're doing a simulation, we should make everything as realistic as possible." With those words, he taped Grayson's mouth shut mercilessly.

Baby Robbie dragged Grayson toward the back of the sofa with all his strength. He looked at the watch on his wrist. He maintained the act. "It's ten minutes to eleven-the time starts now."

Done with his elaborate spiel, Baby Robbie stealthily pushed the office door open and left the room.

Grayson had been neatly tied up like a rice dumpling by "Jenson". His hands and feet were bound and all he could do was stay where he was and panic. The walls in Grand Asia's building were soundproof- nobody could hear Grayson's incessant slams on the ground.

Twenty minutes passed!

Jay had just finished his meeting and returned to his office. When he found Grayson worming on the ground, Jay froze up.

The bodyguard following Jay stepped forward and tore off the tape on Grayson's mouth.

"Mr. Ares..." Grayson gasped, exhausted.

Jay's sharp eagle-like eyes swept across every corner of the office but did not find Jenson. Immediately, he had a bad feeling. "Where's Jenson?"

Grayson looked distressed and could not curse the devilish "Jenson" even if he wanted to. He said miserably, "Mr. Ares, Master Jenson told me he wanted to simulate an escape room game with me. He tied me up like a rice dumpling and ran away!"

Jay immediately turned on the computer monitor to examine the surveillance footage. On the screen, he saw "Jenson" running out from Grand Asia's building.

When he realized that "Jenson" must have been chasing Rose, his heart plummeted. 1

"What's the point of keeping you if you can't even take care of a child?" he spat.

When Grayson regained his mobility, he sat timidly on the floor with his head down. He realized that Master

Jenson had played him for a fool. Utterly dejected, he tried to justify himself. "Mr. Ares, Master Jenson premeditated this plan to escape."

"Shut up," Jay snapped mercilessly.

All Grayson could do was keep silent and suck it up-h e could not even defend himself!

 

Chapter 50

Chapter 50

After Baby Robbie left Grand Asia behind, he immediately called Jenson on his smartwatch and briefed Jenson about what happened-the way Daddy and Mommy were fighting over him from the beginning to the end.

When he was done, he anxiously asked Jenson for his opinion. "Jenson, what do you think I should do now? Mommy seems to have recognized me. She must think that Daddy took me away. I bet Mommy's really sad right now."

Jenson thought for a moment before he said, "Let's switch back."

Baby Robbie realized what Jenson meant after a long pause. "You mean switching back to our own identities?"

"Yeah. It's the only way to make Mommy and Daddy less suspicious." Jenson said firmly.

"I guess this is the only way now," said Baby Robbie." I'll return to Splendid Town right now and you go back to Horizon Colors."

"Okay."

As the two kids planned their next move, both Jay and Rose were having their meltdowns simultaneously.

Rose was shuddering at the possibility of losing Baby

Robbie forever.

On the other hand, Jay was completely distraught as it seemed that Jenson preferred his biological mother whom he had only known for a few days over his father.

Jay was the first to call Rose. As soon as Rose answered the call, Jay's overbearing voice reverberated throughout her eardrum. "Rose, I'm giving you one hour to return Jenson to me." "What? Jenson's missing?"

The news was tantamount to finding out about the death of a beloved family member to Rose. Suddenly, all her elegance and gracefulness went out of the window.

She shrieked at Jay, "You lost the child and now you're blaming me? I'm the one who's supposed to ask you where the child went!"

Jay thrust the phone away from his ear; Rose's angry voice was like a bolt of lightning that pierced the night sky, disappearing as soon as it came.

Rose quickly calmed down, realizing it was not Jenson who was missing but her Baby Robbie.

Even though Baby Robbie was a kid, he was used to being outside; his memory was definitely good enough to find his way back to Splendid Town. When Rose remembered that, she was able to set her mind at ease.

However, she now felt a little uneasy that she shouted at Jay. 1

After all, Jay was not just some random person. He was her superior.

"Sir Ares, don't worry too much," Rose said gently. "The child's probably just having some fun outside.

He'll be back home sooner than you think." Rose's strong attitude took a 180 turn as she gave Mr. Ares comforting words.

"Jenson has never been alone outside!" Jay snapped coldly.

"Although Jenson has never been alone outside, he's a very smart boy. He's played tons of games with maps and I'm sure he won't get lost." 1 Jay did not want to hear another word from Rose so he hung up and ordered Grayson to send someone to search for Jenson immediately. However, nobody was able to find him.

When evening came around, Jay returned to the villa and rubbed his temples exasperatedly. Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure squatting by the door-none other than Jenson himself.

"Jenson." Jay stepped forward and hugged Jenson tightly in his arms.

Jenson did not move and his stiff body allowed Daddy to hug him.

"Where did you go?" Jay asked.

Jenson remained silent. However, there was a noticeable trace of guilt beneath his bright and star-like eyes of his as he stared at Daddy.

Jay realized that Jenson was especially quiet today and looked at him, puzzled. 'Wasn't Jenson lively and cheerful just two days ago? Why did he revert to his quiet demeanor today? 'Is it Rose again?'

Jay could not help but be reminded that everything boiled down to one person.

"Did you look for Rose?" he asked.

Jenson nodded.

Jay held Jenson's little hand and sighed weakly. He thought just having Daddy was enough for Jenson. He did not expect that his world would collapse the moment Rose stepped foot in it. Jay opened the door, led Jenson by his little hand, and brought him inside. He sat Jenson down on the sofa facing him. He embraced Jenson and decided to open up to him.

"You like Rose?"

Jenson nodded.

"Can you tell Daddy why you like her so much?" Jay was curious about what method Rose had used to please the child that much.

Over the past five years, many women approached the kid but were unable to do everything. Even spending ample money and skills to please Jenson got them nowhere.

Jenson tilted his head and thought seriously about how to answer his question.

"She's nice to me," Jenson said.

Although he did not show it, Jenson was very observant and was a good judge of character.

He could tell that Rose was sincerely nice to him. She was the only person who would risk everything to hug him when he was on a rampage.

Jay hugged Jenson. 'This kid lacks maternal love.

That's why any tiny bit of affection she showed meant a great deal to him.

'This is not a good sign!'

"Jenson, it's the weekend tomorrow. Daddy asked Miss Nancy to come to play with you at home. I like her, so you need to be friendly with her, alright?" Jay thought it was time to give Jenson a stepmother.

He believed that Jenson would approve of the gentle and virtuous Nancy Bell more than Rose Loyle, as long as he gave her a chance.

"You don't like her," Jenson said abruptly.

Jay was caught off guard. Indeed, it was true that he did not like Nancy, but she was objectively the best-suited person for him.

Since they grew up together, they knew everything about each other. Moreover, he did not have the time and energy to cultivate a new relationship with another stranger. After all, he knew that his true love was dead.

"You're just a kid, what do you know?" Jay laughed awkwardly.

However, Jenson said very seriously, "You always call out a woman's name when you get drunk. Her name's Angeline."

Jay froze.

Even after six years, his love for Angeline had not faded. Instead, it aged like fine wine, becoming stronger over time.

"I'll only agree to it if you decide to marry Angeline," Jenson blurted.

Jay sighed and pinched Jenson's nose. "She'll never come back." Jenson was dumbfounded.

Jay continued, "Daddy will marry Miss Nancy and she'll treat you well."

Jenson shook his head and protested. "You're going to have your own kids with her and you'll only take care of them."
