Ch. 501..510

Chapter 501

It was a desolate night for desolate men.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in his study, Jay lifted his head to stare off into the distance. His gaze fell on Imperial Capital's most prominent high-rise building-Grand Asia. He wondered when would be the day he could bring his beloved home.

The laptop on the study desk displayed the colorful scenes of the game silently, but the familiar notification of a mutual coming online did not ring despite his strong desire. Jay could not help but feel frustrated. Perhaps she found no need to come online without Josie present.

Ding ding!

The notification of a mutual coming online suddenly sounded from the laptop.

Jay was quick to arrive before his desk. Seeing the profile icon of 'Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber' brighten with colors, anger tinted Jay's attractive appearance.

'Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber' had sent him a short text. 'You free?'

Jay replied, 'Yeah.'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber then said, 'I can't sleep. Could we talk for a bit?'

Jay typed, 'It would be my pleasure!'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber then said, 'I had a nightmare today.'

Jay raised an eyebrow. 'Oh?'

'I dreamt of my love.'

Jay,

His expression darkened. Why was dreaming of him a nightmare?

'What terrifying thing did he do to you?'

'He came to my house to kidnap his sister!'

'That's... the nightmare you speak of?'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber typed, 'Sob, sob. Why didn't he bring me too? He doesn't want me anymore.' Jay,"..."

Why did a woman's brain stray so far from logic?

They had not recognized each other yet. To kidnap her home before that would make him an unfaithful husband.

Jay asked, 'Would you follow him if he wanted to bring you home though?'

Jay hovered his mouse over the button for a while before he finally clicked it to send the text.

'I want to, but... I suppose I would reject him.'

Frost returned to Jay's dark eyes.

He was torn between loving and hating her every time they spoke.

'Why's that?'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber answered, 'I... Don't think I'm ready to face him yet.'

Jay typed, 'Go to sleep, it's getting late.'

'I can't. I'm waiting for Zaynie Green to come back. I can't help but worry when she's not here.'

'You don't need to worry. She's not a child.'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber said, 'You don't get it. She's my love's younger sister. I can't help but feel that I've taken the love that was meant for her when her brother treats me well. I feel a need to make it up to her.

'I care for his family because I care for him.'

Jay was shocked. It turned out she was aware that he treated her well.

A simple "because I care for him' had the sun shining through the gloomy clouds in his chest.

Jay stood and walked toward Josephine's bedroom.

He banged on the door.

Donned in a messy long wig, Josephine reminded him of Lady in White.

"What are you, a ghost? Why are you knocking on my door in the middle of the night, Jay? It's scary."

Jay tugged the wig off. "Ghost? Have you looked at yourself?'

"What do you want from me?"

"Go change. I'll send you back."

"Back where?"

"Where your Sister-in-law is staying."

Chapter 502

Chapter 502

Josie wailed, saying, "No way, Jay. You're the one who dragged me home and now you're telling me to go back? Since when did you become so unprincipled?

"I'm not going." Josephine was displeased.

"You have to go back." His tone left no room for rejection.

"I'll go back tomorrow morning, okay?" Drowsy with sleep, Josephine wanted nothing more than to flop back onto the bed. She felt her frustration rise at Jay's impolite request. Jay wore an uncompromisable expression.

Hurt filled Josephine's eyes. "You're playing favorites, Jay. Ever since we were young, you've been playing favorites."

Jay froze at the words that came out of her mouth.

Josephine's claim was not baseless when he had indeed spent most of this life fixated on Angeline.

As a result, he took no knowledge of Josephine's feelings.

However, he did not regret doing so as Angeline was worth every bit of his heart.

"Come with me." Then, he turned around and walked away.

Slouching, Josephine followed him into the study where Jay motioned for her to read his laptop display.

Reading the texts from 'Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber', she found every line laced with regard for herself. Josephine's eyes watered.

Jay spoke softly, "She's very worried about you. She can't sleep without you back."

Josie nodded, choking from the onslaught of emotions she felt. "I know, I know... Sister-in-law has always been good to me."

Memories of Rose selflessly saving her at Tourmaline Estate surfaced in Josephine's mind.

Followed by the memory of how Rose risked everything to save her again back in the ruins.

Josephine bawled. "I owe her too much, Jay."

"That's a topic for another day. Let's get you back first." Jay interrupted his sister.

Josie nodded.

It was around one in the morning when Jay sent Josephine to Grand Asia's staff residency.

After Josephine alighted, Jay suddenly called out of her, "Josie!"

Josephine turned around.

Jay continued, "Your Sister-in-law will never take

away the love I have reserved for you."

Josephine grinned. "Yeah."

Then, she left happily.

Opening the doors to enter, Josephine found Rose sitting cross-legged on the bed. The sight of the other had Rose throwing a pillow at her head. "Where have you been, you little rascal?" Josephine caught the pillow and climbed onto Rose's bed with a silly smile on her face. "I'm sleeping with you tonight, Sister-in-law. I'll warm your bed."

Rose soon fell asleep.

The following day.

Rose had prepared breakfast while Josephine still snored away.

Leaving for work, Rose left Josephine a small line of text. 'Hey, Josie. When you're free, could you help me ask where this friend of yours does his screen protector business? I'd like to visit him as thanks for talking with me last night!'

Josephine gaped in shock when she woke up and read the text.

What happened last night? Since when did her shy Sister-in-law ever take the first step to meet people?

Exhilarated, Josie called Jay. "Jay..."

Jay immediately interrupted, saying, "I'm busy. I'll call you back."

Josephine responded with an impatient shout, "Sister-in-law wants to meet you!"

Jay froze.

He finally muttered after a long pause, "What did you say?"

Josephine said, "I thought you were busy? Go work first!"

Jay clenched his jaw. "Finish your sentence, Josephine Ares."

Josie snorted with a tease, saying, "I thought you said you were busy? I should've known. Matters involving Sister-in-law will always be your top priority.

"Anyway, Sister-in-law left me a text this morning with a request to ask you where you stick phone screen protectors. She says she wants to visit you as thanks for talking with her last night." As thanks for talking with her last night?

Jay smiled. She was a sweet child who knew to repay others' kindness. Not bad, not bad at all.

Josephine doubled over in laughter. "I can't believe you lied to her about sticking phone screen protectors. I'd like to see how you follow up with this lie, Jay!"

Chapter 503

Chapter 503

Calling for members of his think tank into the office, Jay asked shamelessly, "How much do you know about sticking on phone screen protectors?"

The members were stunned, shocked by the curveball of a question thrown at them. Yet under the president's ferocious and predatory gaze, they could only ransack their brain for answers to his question. "Sticking screen protectors are essentially street stalls, Mr. President."

"Street stalls means it'll be somewhere a lot of people will be."

"Normally under sky bridges."

Jay's tone was final when he said, "Prepare the necessary tools. Tonight I'll set up a stall under Rainbow Sky Bridge."

Grayson and the rest's jaws dropped at the news. "Mr. President... You... You want to set up a street stall?"

Jay tipped his head in a slight nod.

Not daring to prod deeper, Grayson and the rest quickly excused themselves.

"Did the president undergo some sort of psychological shock recently, Mr. Grayson? Why would he have the sudden desire to stick screen protectors under sky bridges?"

"Imagine how much of a frenzy it would cause if news got out? Grand Asia's president sticking screen protectors under Rainbow Sky Bridge..."

"Perhaps the president wants a taste of normality?" Grayson fathomed.

Everyone was confused.

A secretary approached Grayson with a smile worth a million dollars as she reported enthusiastically," Someone's looking for you, Mr. Gray."

"Who?"

"You'll know when you get there."

At the reception desk.

Three adorable babies sat quietly with their school bags on their backs. Walking over, Grayson was shocked when he found the Ares family's little masters and lady. "Why are you here?" Grayson asked.

The kids stared at him with soft looks.

"Are you looking for the president? Come with me, I'll bring you there."

Baby Robbie shook his head. "We're here for you today, Uncle Grayson."

Grayson felt the itch of a bad omen. "Uncle's very busy. How about we talk again next time?"

Robbie blocked his exit. "A private word, Uncle Grayson?"

Grayson was shocked by Baby Robbie's lightning-fast speed. He had heard rumors of this little boy's agility, and he could confirm it to be true today!

Grayson had no choice but to bring them to his private office. His stoic expression immediately morphed into that of a pug.

"How can I help you, little devils?"

Robbie replied, "We'd like to inquire a little something."

Zetty added, "About my father's dating scandal."

Grayson wanted to leave. Who was he to simply leak the president's dating scandal? His only option was to feed them with a fake story. "Your daddy's a dating black hole. He has no dating scandals." Seeing he did not speak the truth, Jenson gave him an ultimatum. "Do you want to send us to school, Uncle Grayson?"

That was the most difficult mission in the history of mankind.

Grayson immediately faltered. "Fine. What do you want to know?"

"Did Daddy buy roses recently?"

"Yes." "For who?"

"I can't tell you that," Grayson replied with a helpless expression.

Jenson walked toward the door. "Then, I shall look for daddy right now and beg that you send us to school."

Grayson quickly blurted out, "A care worker at the medical center named Lenny Loyle."

Satisfied by the answer, Jenson revealed a crafty smile.

Then, he patted Grayson's head with a maturity unfit for such a young boy. "Good boy!"

Grayson froze with a look of stupor on his face!

This boy was too treacherous!

Chapter 504

Chapter 504

The three cute babies were discussing in front of him. Baby Robbie said angrily, "Aunty's right. Daddy's really picking up girls."

Baby Zetty chimed in, "Mommy's bones have not gone cold but Daddy has already forgotten about Mommy. It really gives you the chills."

Jenson said coldly, "You can't jump to conclusions until you know the truth."

"Then what happens now?" Baby Zetty asked.

Baby Robbie suggested, saying, "Let's investigate the little care worker Daddy likes."

Jenson agreed. "Yeah."

After that, they left without worrying about anyone else.

Grayson was completely ignored by the adorable babies... He was dumbfounded.

Just as he was thinking of telling the president of the babies' plan, Jenson suddenly came back and threatened him, saying, "Uncle Grayson, if you want to see us every day, go ahead and complain to Daddy."

This was a blatant threat!

His thoughts were deliberate at this young age. He even knew how to attack and retreat. It was really

unpleasant!

Jenson and the others soon arrived at the medical department of Grand Asia.

Hiding in the stairwell, several small heads were gathered together as they plotted something.

"If the three of us head out together, the care worker will know that we're triplets from the Ares family.

She'd hide her true face and treat us hypocritically, so we should head out one by one," said Baby Robbie.

"That makes sense," Jenson said.

Baby Zetty carried a cute little school bag and walked down the corridor.

She did not know which ward the nurses were in, so she could only look for them one by one.

When it was Ward 11, Baby Zetty put her head at the crack of the door and asked softly, "Aunty, do you know Lenny Loyle?"

Rose was sitting by the bedside reciting Buddhist scriptures to her grandfather when suddenly, she heard this familiar voice. She turned her head immediately in astonishment. Seeing Baby Zetty, Rose was astonished.

"Why are you looking for Lenny for?"

Baby Zetty's gaze fell on her forehead, which was exposed outside the mask. A touch of fear filled her deer-like pupils.

Rose stood up and walked toward her but then backed away. She was afraid of scaring her daughter.

Baby Zetty shook her head and ran away.

The frightened Baby Zetty ran back to the stairwell. Baby Robbie and Jenson saw her panicked expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"The aunty in ward 11, her face is so ugly!" Baby Zetty said, patting her chest.

Baby Robbie frowned, saying, "Girls are just scaredy-cats. Watch me."

When Baby Robbie set out, Baby Zetty suddenly took his hand and said with a look of shame, "Baby Robbie, apologize to that aunty for me. I didn't mean to be rude to her. I was just afraid..." "Okay."

Baby Robbie went directly to Ward 11, opened the door, and walked toward Rose.

Rose did not dare to face Baby Robbie. She had scared her daughter away and did not want to scare her son too.

However, Baby Robbie's gaze fell directly on her face. With a sense of scrutiny, he said, "Aunty, I'm sorry. The girl who ran away just now is my sister. She asked me to say sorry to you. She didn't mean to be rude to you. She was just scared..."

Baby Robbie bowed to Rose after he was done

speaking.

Rose smiled slightly and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"We're looking for a caretaker. Her name's Lenny. Aunty, do you know her?"

Rose was slightly shocked. Baby Robbie had a bad tone when he mentioned Lenny. It seemed that it was not a good thing they were looking for her.

"I'm new here, so I'm not very familiar with the nursing staff."

"Thank you, Aunty." Baby Robbie then retreated.

He looked around again, then went back to the stairwell dejectedly. "There's no such person as Lenny at all."

Baby Zetty said, "Could it be she did not come to work today?"

Jenson, however, fell into contemplation.

After a long time, Jenson asked Baby Robbie, "The aunty in Ward 11, what's her name?"

"I didn't ask," Baby Robbie said.

Chapter 505

Chapter 505

Jenson looked at Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty. "I'll go and have a look."

Then, he walked toward Ward 11 when he suddenly recalled the day Mommy fell from the building and when he overheard Daddy talking to Mr. Police.

"Sir Ares, according to the traces of the scene, your wife fell from the window. There's a pool of blood on the ground. The glass shards must've injured your wife's body! I just don't know if your wife has injured any vital parts..."

Soon, he arrived at Ward 11. He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Rose stared at the door in a daze before saying, "Come i n."

Jenson opened the door and slowly walked toward Rose.

Rose had guessed that it would be Jens' turn to come forward. A bitter smile filled her eyes and her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "Are you also here to find Lenny?"

He stood in front of her, his beautiful eyes projecting maturity and stability that did not match his age.

He nodded. "Yup."

Rose could not help laughing. Why were the children

looking for her?

"Haven't you already looked for her? There's no Lenny here," Rose asked curiously.

Staring into her eyes, he said, "You're her."

Rose was dumbfounded!

This child's thinking was meticulous, not missing a single detail. IT was without a doubt that Jenson was taught by Jay Ares himself.

Jenson stepped forward. Suddenly, he hugged her tenderly and called out softly, "Mommy."

Rose's tears burst out from her eyes instantly. Her body was stiff in Jens' small but warm embrace.

"How'd you guess?" Rose was shaken as she returned the gesture and hugged Jens in her arms.

"Because Daddy gave you flowers," Jenson said.

Rose felt as if she had woken up from a dream for the first time.

Jay had been coming to the medical department every day not because he was bored, but because he missed her!

He had recognized her since a long time ago, then?

Rose felt a current of warmth in her heart, but what followed next was a huge panic.

She was able to face Jay calmly before, but now it felt like she would be sitting on pins and needles if she

saw him.

"Mommy, please come home?" Jenson asked.

Rose hugged Jens as her tears rained down.

"Jens, could you give Mommy some time? Look, your sister will be scared when she sees Mommy. There are many people who don't have Jens' courage. Mommy doesn't want to face so many people yet." Jenson was very considerate of his mommy, so he said, "Mommy, we'll wait for you."

Nodding, she said, "Okay."

Jenson turned his head and looked at Old Master Severe who was on the hospital bed. Old Master Severe was also looking at him, his eyes full of appreciation.

She then said, "Jens, this is Grandpa."

Jenson's beautiful peach eyes were shocked, but he obediently called out to Old Master Severe, "Grandpa!"

Gently touching Jens' head, she said with a smile, " Jens, don't tell others about seeing Mommy today."

Jens nodded. "Okay."

He then left the ward and returned to the stairwell. Putting his hands in the pockets of his school uniform, he spoke simply and coldly like before, "Let's go!" Baby Robbie and Baby Zetty asked him, "Have you found Lenny?"

Jenson did not answer.

When the three of them walked down the stairs, they were blocked by Jay and Grayson.

"Daddy!" the three adorable babies exclaimed.

Grayson had a strong feeling of guilt in his eyes, and he avoided looking at the cute babies.

Jenson whispered, "Uncle Grayson, long time no see!"

Grayson felt that the little guy's ability to freeze someone was catching up with that of his president. With a dry smile, he said, "Little Master, we meet again so soon."

Chapter 506

Chapter 506

Although Jay loved children, he never spoiled them. Especially in the face of right and wrong, he would not indulge children.

"You guys are all grown up now, hm? Playing truant?"

The adorable babies stood neatly in front of Jay, shrinking into the size of quail eggs one by one. They dropped their heads, not daring to face Daddy's disappointed eyes.

"Who's terrible idea was this?"

The three adorable babies stepped forward in an organized manner.

Grayson was so startled by their tacit understanding that his eyes almost fell to the ground.

"Mr. Ares, the young masters and young lady must've planned a countermeasure in advance."

Jenson glared at Grayson fiercely, so the latter immediately fell silent.

He was afraid that the killing gaze of the young master would be on par with his president's after several more years of cultivation.

As expected, each new generation excelled from the previous!

"What did you come here for?"

Baby Zetty raised her head, tearfully denouncing Daddy's offense. "Daddy, you lied."

Jay frowned.

Baby Zetty cried and said, "You said that you'll only marry Mommy in this life, but Mommy's gone and you're already pursuing other women."

"So, you're here to investigate Lenny?"

Baby Bobbie adopted a stern manner as if he could care less. "Yes, we just wanted to see which woman would be more attractive than Mommy and who could have you smitten in such a short time." "Then... Have you seen her?"

Baby Bobbie and Baby Zetty shook their heads together.

Only Jenson had a blank expression on his face from beginning to end.

"Very good. Can you all go back now?" Jay said with relief.

Baby Zetty and Baby Robbie looked upset.

Jay ordered Grayson, "Send them back to school."

Grayson's face was pale, especially when he saw Jenson's gloating eyes. Grayson almost slumped on the ground.

"Uncle Grayson, let's go." Jenson's voice was like the devil's bugle horn.

The man's legs trembled as he followed with a bitter expression.

Jay walked down the corridor.

Walking out of the doors of Grand Asia, Jenson suddenly brought down his school bag and threw it to Grayson. "Uncle Grayson, help me carry my school bag." Grayson nodded and bowed like Confucius. "Yes, yes, Little Young Master."

Just as he took over Jenson's school bag, another two school bags were also passed over. "And ours."

With the three bags in hand, he instantly turned from a high-class and cool male elite to a stay-home dad.

Grayson could only suffer in silence and keep his bitterness quiet.

"Uncle Grayson, I heard that you're good at fighting. Can you teach me?" Baby Robbie blinked at Grayson with his innocent eyes.

He knew that these little brats would not let him off easily.

"Uncle will teach you when he's free."

Baby Robbie swept his legs once over. "I want you to show me how good you are today."

Grayson jumped. He was about to throw the schoolbags on the ground and deal with the speedy Baby Robbie when Jenson's cold shouting voice came, "Don't dirty my bag."

Grayson could only carry the three school bags. On the condition of ensuring that the school bags were not dirty, fighting Baby Robbie seemed a little difficult.

For Baby Robbie, although his strength was not as much as his, the kid was very shrewd and kicked the schoolbag specifically. Grayson's hands could only stay in a defensive state. The final result was... He was beaten terribly by Baby Robbie.

His pair of eyes had swelled into panda eyes and his lips were like sausages. That handsome face looked as if it was full of joy.

Jenson picked up the school bag from the ground and patted the dirt on it with a look of disgust. "Hey, it seems that I have to change the school bag."

His obsession with cleanliness also surpassed his father's.

Chapter 507

Chapter 507

When Jay came to Ward 11, Rose was absent-mindedly reciting scriptures to her grandfather.

Hearing the familiar sound of footsteps, Rose's heart suddenly constricted before beating violently.

Jay sat down on the chair beside her and looked at her thoughtfully with his clear eyes.

Rose recited, "If you cling onto one thought, you'll be trapped within the one thought. When the thought is let go, one's heart would be free. Things change with one's heart, conditions are created by one's heart, and what troubles are also born from one's heart..."

Jay suddenly said, "What does it mean?"

Slightly flabbergasted, the pages of the book were crumpled with the force of her fingers gripping them.

"Mr. Ares, Old Master Severe's illness is a heart disease. There are thousands of knots in his heart. If he doesn't remove them, it'll become an endless loop."

A touch of loss flashed across Jay's eyes. "Hmm, what's the solution?"

Rose whispered, "If the doctors are helpless, then I certainly have no solutions!"

He stood up irritably, saying, "Given it's a heart disease and I'm asking for the treatment solution, how can there be no solution?"

Rose looked at him in amazement and was now even more convinced that he must have had recognized her a long time ago.

His probing around might be an obvious discussion of Grandpa's condition, but secretly, he was testing her mentality.

She was like a coward in a tortoise's shell. She had let him down.

Jay's cell phone rang all of a sudden. After glancing at Rose, he connected the call in front of her.

"Mr. Ares! Assistant Grayson has been injured!"

Jay's expression was slightly nervous as he said, "I'll head over right now!"

He then glanced at Rose meaningfully before leaving in a hurry.

Rose let out a long sigh of relief.

When Jay returned to the president's office, Grayson was sitting on the sofa, his eyes and mouth forming a three-point area of bruises. He looked quite comical like that. "How's your body?" Jay asked.

Grayson saw Mr. Ares and was then full of grievances. "My body is intact."

The president's bodyguards were all hot-blooded men. Seeing their own bullied and beaten to the point of having a blue-purple triangle on his face, they would rather die than face this dishonor. They were roaring loudly.

"Mr. Grayson, who beat you until this state? Tell us and we'll avenge you."

"They beat your face into a black triangle, so we'll beat him into a boneless, ground-crawling reptile."

As soon as they were done speaking, they saw Jay's sharp gaze thrown over at them like a knife. The bodyguards were immediately silent.

Mr. Ares obviously hated those who bullied his people the most, so why was he so silent today?

Grayson cried out the reason, "Mr. Ares, I betrayed the young masters and they harbored a grudge against me. I have no idea how they'll torment me in the future!"

Jay looked at him, resentful for having failed to meet his expectations. "How old are you to be bullied by such a small person? Isn't it shameful?"

The bodyguards were so shocked that their mouths opened in circles. Then, there was the sound of sneering.

"Mr. Grayson, the young master isn't even six years old. Even if you stood still, you shouldn't have gotten slapped by him in the face?"

"That's right. Even if he did hit your face, it shouldn't be so coincidental that his fists fell on your eyes and mouth, right?"

Grayson stared at them angrily. "What do you know? The young master will be six years old in a few days. His strength isn't comparable to other children of the same age. Not to mention..."

Grayson recalled the battle and instantly felt like it was a glorious defeat. "The young master not only used force but also his mind. You don't know how unsuspecting Jenson is. He first threw their school bags

to me. I didn't notice it for a while. After grabbing the school bags, Baby Robbie proposed learning martial arts from me. Tell me, I was carrying three school bags, so how was I to fight?"

Chapter 508

Chapter 508

"Are you stupid? Don't you know how to put the school bag on the ground?"

Grayson looked at the man who was standing and blabbering, saying, "Jenson has an obsession with cleanliness. He was constantly reminding me on the side not to stain his school bag. This kid, Baby Robbie, keeps kicking the school bag specifically. My hands were not only unusable, but they were also restrained."

"If you don't have hands to use, can't you use your legs? Isn't your martial art skills with your legs the best?"

Grayson said, "This is the crux of the problem.

Although Baby Robbie is small, has little strength, and doesn't know many moves, the boy has an advantage. He's fast-As fast as lightning. I'll say this much today. If you don't use your hands, I can guarantee as a member of Grand Asia's security department that no one can beat him."

"That strong?"

The group of men was eager to get into action. They were all showing their desire to learn from Baby Robbie.

"Mr. Ares, Mr. Grayson doesn't dare pick up the young master, so why not let us?"

Jay curled his lips, asking, "You want to compete with

the young master?"

Since Baby Robbie's return home, he had not personally seen his son's ability. It was better to take this opportunity to test Baby Robbie's skills and tap into his son's unlimited potential. The group of men smiled shyly.

"Although it's usually disgraceful to challenge a six-year-old child, we just can't believe that the young master is really as good as Mr. Grayson is making him out to be."

Jay said, "Okay, as you wish. However, you'll have to d o deep squats for an hour every day if you lose."

Grayson gloated and said, "I'll bet on the young master winning."

The team of bodyguards was even more determined to win. "Mr. Grayson, don't come crying to us when you lose everything."

Grayson said, "You'll lose till there's nothing else to lose. You won't even be wearing pants after."

At night, there was the pattering of rain from the sky. The rain gradually increased and turned into heavy rain before long. Rainwater gathered on the city streets and washed the waterways. Pedestrians were rushing on the street and many people were drenched because they did not have time to prepare umbrellas.

Grayson cautiously asked the president, "Mr. Ares, it's raining. Do you still want to go to the Rainbow Flyover tonight?"

Jay stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, his handsome face as cold as usual. "No rain, hail, or shine will be an obstacle." "Yes." Grayson burst into a sweat.

"Prepare a set of civilian clothes."

Grayson said, "It's ready for you."

"Find someone to follow her closely and share her whereabouts with me in real-time."

"Yes."

Grayson suddenly thought of something and said, "Mr. Ares, do you want to evacuate the crowd?"

"It would alert them, so no need for that."

"Yes," Grayson said.

When Rose got off work, Josephine was standing at the door holding an umbrella. She had personally come to pick her up from work.

Rose held her hand and the two shared an umbrella together. Rose smiled, saying, "You're a very competent escort."

Josephine said without embarrassment, "Of course. I said that I'll be protecting you in this lifetime and I'll meet this promise till the end."

Rose patted her on the head. "Seeing that you're so

good, I'll make some delicious food for you today."

Then, Josephine recalled the text message her eldest brother had sent her just now and said, "Sis Angeline, have you forgotten? We have an appointment tonight." Rose had a flash of realization. "Oh, Empire Without Sunset?"

Chapter 509

Chapter 509

Rose watched the heavy rain and said, "The rain is so heavy. He wouldn't be setting up his stall today, would he?"

Hearing her question, Josephine promptly replied," I've asked him earlier. He said come rain or shine, he'd still set up his stall at Rainbow Sky Bridge on time."

Rose said ruefully, "He really is a diligent and enterprising man."

"Sis Angeline, since you're worried about his business, how about we invite him for a big meal while we're at it? He's helped us a lot this time anyway."

Rose thought for a moment and nodded. "Then, it's decided. Let's go."

The Rainbow Sky Bridge was the most magnificent and luxurious antique-styled covered bridge in Imperial Capital. The bridge body was huge and long. The reflection of its semicircular arcs on the bottom of the bridge body connected with the water surface, forming a complete circle. Looking around, the orderly cadence was particularly strong.

There were simple and open streets at both ends of the bridge, and in the middle were clusters of complex antique-styled buildings. On the inside were more singular sections which were provided to different merchants selling the city's famous cultural souvenirs.

It might have been because it was a rainy day, so Rainbow Bridge was not crowded with as many people today. It was still bustling and lively.

Next to the antique buildings, a canopied room had been raised. Cellphone films of various models were placed on a square table.

There was a man sitting at the table who was wearing loose black casual clothes and a large-brimmed peaked cap. His head was lowered so that pedestrians could not see his eyes.

No matter how normal the clothes were, they could not cover up his naturally handsome appearance that also allowed him to be able to work any type of clothes like a perfect cloth hanger. Even the back of his head that was not covered by the peaked cap was so perfect that people could not move their eyes away.

Rose and Josephine walked up to the bridge arm in arm.

Josephine wanted Rose and her eldest brother to meet alone, so she made up an excuse to leave. "Sis Angeline, let's split up and look!"

Rose nodded. "Okay."

Josephine then ran to the left side of the covered bridge while Rose ran to the right side.

The covered bridge had hundreds of years of history, and it recorded the historical changes of Imperial

Capital, the most flourishing international metropolis. It also recorded Angeline and Jay's best times.

Rose was in love with the scene and had recalled the scene of Jay and her traveling to Imperial Capital when she was young.

His long legs had walked in front of her leisurely while her short legs were running just behind. She was so tired and had started to play tricks.

"Jaybie, you have to hold tight onto my hand and don't let go. Otherwise, what would I do if I get lost?"

"You're so ugly, so who would want you?" He had turned around, his mouth speaking harsh words but his eyes were extremely gentle.

Angeline had protested on the spot, saying, "I'm the prettiest girl in our class. No, I'm the school's beauty. Did you actually call me ugly? How am I ugly?" She walked in front of him angrily and raised her haughty as well as unyielding face to stare at him.

Jay rubbed her head as if to calm a kitten or puppy.' It's useless to have a good-looking face. The beauty standard is to have a curvaceous front and back. You don't have either of these. You have to eat more, you know?

Since then, the age-old problem of Angeline's difficulty with eating had been cured without medicine.

Yet, at the time, Angeline still dragged his arm shamelessly, saying, "I'm just afraid that you won't be

able to support me if I eat too much."

Jay could not help but smile, then very solemnly said," Well then, it seems that I have to work hard to make money to support my wife."

He then crouched down, letting Angeline climb onto his back.

As Rose thought about it, a peaceful and happy smile appeared in her eyes.

A dazzling array of jade decorations were placed on the bunks on the covered bridge. Rose did not like jade in the past. Firstly, it was because she had been born into a wealthy family, so jade was common. Secondly, she felt that jade was fragile. Given her mind was also fragile, she felt that it was a bad omen.

Chapter 510

It was at this place that she had accidentally broken a n agate bracelet that symbolized good luck. As a result, she sat here crying. She was young then, so she laughed when she wanted to and cried when she wanted to regardless of how embarrassed the grown-up Jay was.

He had tried to coax the little brat, but she still cried a s simply as before.

"Angeline, you have to be good. If it's broken, I'll buy another one for you. Come home with me?"

"No, the bracelet was given to me by my mother. My mother said that with this bracelet, my fortune with love will always go smoothly. But I broke it, which means that my love life won't be smooth. Boohoohoo-" "It's just a superstition."

Finally, Jay spent all the money on his card and bought her a jade necklace at a high price called Angel's Tears. It was only then did she stop crying.

That was the only jade necklace he had given her. Since then, he had never given her any jade jewelry.

She regarded Angel's Tears as her treasure, afraid to damage it. She even spent a high cost to remake a box shaped like a black swan.

This was the black swan necklace. She would only

ever wear it to the most important occasions.

"Young lady, come buy an auspicious necklace. It's a high-quality agate. Come take a look at the goods?"

Rose was attracted by the vendor's voice and could not help turning her head. She saw an agate necklace being displayed in the display cabinet.

It was a milky white jade bordered by sterling silver. The five words 'good fortune as one wishes' were carved in the silver rim. There was also a beautiful pattern of sunflowers.

Rose was very pleasantly surprised. It was the exact same necklace in her memory.

"Young lady, do you want to buy it?" the vendor asked.

Rose smiled like a flower but shook her head. "Why don't you take care of it for me?"

She then left with a bright smile.

This agate necklace had made her feel inexplicably happy. It was as if an evil curse of many years had been lifted.

Along the road, she admired the overwhelming amount of commodities in the shops, and when she walked till the last shop on the bridge, she recalled her purpose for coming here.

At this time, all her thoughts were then mobilized on the thought of looking for someone. It just so happened that she had seen a man sitting in a newly built canopied room next to her with his head down as he put on protective film on devices.

Several customers were surrounding him, but he was sticking on the film intently with his head buried very low. The brim of his peaked hat was large, almost covering his entire face.

Even though he was seated, one could see that he was quite tall and that his proportions were perfect.

Rose brought out her new mobile phone, which was given to her by Jay. It was without a film.

She handed the phone to the man. Jay's eyes fell on her phone, his hand movements staggering a little.

Rose saw that his movements were not so smooth and mischievously teased, saying, "Master, your skills need to be improved!"

Jay's lips were pulled into a faint smile.

He quickly put the film onto the other phones. When it was time for Rose's phone, she was the only one left in the canopy room. She sat casually on the square stool beside him, looking at him carefully while also chatting with him.
