Ch. 511..520

Chapter 511

"Are you Empire Without Sunset?" Rose asked. Jay nodded.

After getting the confirmation, she said, "I'm your internet friend, Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber. Look how I've come all the way here to support your business. How about you treat me to supper?" Jay still only just nodded.

Glancing at the price list next to him, she laughed happily before saying, "You only make 15 yuan from sticking on a film. Are you sure you can afford to buy me supper?"

Jay stuck on the protective film on her phone and handed it to her.

She reached out to pick it up as Jay slowly raised his head.

"What do you want to eat?"

Rose heard this familiar voice and suddenly raised her head. Having seen Jay, Rose was stunned.

Her lips were stammering for a long time before she hesitated and called out, "Sir... Ares. It's you?"

Jay took off the peaked cap, revealing his perfect face that looked like a sculpture. He looked straight at Rose.

Picking up the phone, she calmly scanned the QR

code to pay.

She then confronted Jay calmly, saying, "Mr. Ares, your skills with the protective film is good. I will come to support your business again next time." With that, she calmly stepped back a few steps, turned around, and ran.

Jay had guessed that she would pull this stunt. His long legs dashed forward as he rushed into the pouring rain with Rose.

"Rose, stop."

Taking advantage of his long legs, Jay cut Rose off at the intersection.

"Mr. Ares, you've got the wrong person. I'm not Rose." Rose's tears had mixed with the rain, but her hoarse and choked voice betrayed her emotions.

Jay looked at her fixedly, desperately restraining the urge to hold her in his arms. He was trying to opt for a n alternative that would show he respected her. "Please leave."

His long eyelashes were drooping, and his cold but charming soul looked particularly dejected at the moment. 1

He turned around slowly, dragging his heavy feet forward step by step. He was an obviously tall and stalwart figure, but at this moment, there was endless depression and loneliness coming off from him. 'I want to make money to support my little wifey.' Empire Without Sunset's ridicule had floated into Rose's mind.

Rose cried bitterly.

She was not a heartless person. For a proud man like Jay who was putting on protective films on mobile phones on Rainbow Sky Bridge just to see her, he would be a laughing stock to the citizens of the city. He, who had a reputation for being a conscious person, had placed his dignity under his feet just for her.

She, on the other hand, was afraid of the mockery and ridicule from others and was unwilling to take off her mask to show herself to others.

Compared with Jay, she was selfish and weak.

Rose suddenly rushed over, hugging his waist from behind while holding onto a sense of shamelessness.

Jay trembled slightly, a stunned expression flashing across his handsome face. Then, he smiled.

He turned around and held Rose tightly in his arms.

"Come home with me," he said hoarsely.

It was almost a plea.

Rose raised her tearful face and looked at him. "I have conditions."

There was a sense of anxiety in Jay's eyes. "Say them!"

"From now on, don't bully me, don't lie to me, and don't put on such a cold face to me. Always think of me as the most beautiful, and you have to smile when you think of me..." Rose said. Jay picked her up. "As you say!"

The employees of Grand Asia who were hiding in the dark were thinking, 'Is this the stuff of legends where everything has a weakness?'

Josephine, who had witnessed the entire process, was moved to tears by her elder brother and sister-in-law.

Jay brought Rose back to Garden Of A Diary.

After taking a shower, the two lay on the bed, listening to the pouring rain outside the window.

Chapter 512

Chapter 512

"Do you want to do it?" Jay turned over and put his hands on both her sides.

Rose grabbed the pillow and covered her face, asking shyly, "Can you not look at my face?"

Jay grabbed the pillow away and rebuffed, "No."

"Then... Can we turn off the lights?" she pleaded humbly.

"No."

Rose was annoyed. "Then... I don't really want to do it."

She did not want to stage a passionate drama between a handsome guy and a dinosaur. It only felt as if it would be tarnishing his beauty.

After getting rejected, Jay lay down beside her while feeling depressed.

Rose felt his intense loss and felt guilty deep down in her heart.

"Can you wait until I've gotten plastic surgery?" Her voice rang low.

"No." Jay's voice was sullen. "No plastic surgery is allowed. Moreover, I can't wait that long..."

Then, he started breaking through her ban...

Rose yelled gloomily, "Then, why are you asking me

for my opinion?"

Given he would not accept her opinion at all!

"Rose, listen, we've lost our best times. The remainder of our lives isn't very long and we're very lucky to be able to stay together. In the future, you're not allowed to leave me."

"Oh!"

"Whether you're beautiful or ugly, it doesn't matter to me. The important thing is that you're healthy."

"Oh!" Rose was so uncomfortable with him teasing her and could only respond absently.

The man suddenly stopped his hand movements and stared at her with his black but expressive wolf-like gaze. "What did I just say?"

Like a teacher testing their student, his gaze was intense.

Rose repeated obediently, "You said that we're very lucky to be able to stay together. Also that you don't care whether I'm beautiful or ugly."

Jay's expression turned dark as if he was dealing with work. He gritted his teeth and said, "Rose, you caught the wrong point."

She widened her eyes. Did she, a top student, make some kind of mistake?

"You're not allowed to leave me. No plastic surgery is allowed. Rose, this is a taboo and must not be touched upon. Otherwise, I'll never forgive you," Jay said fiercely. Rose nodded. She hooked his neck with her hand and vowed, saying, "Don't worry, I'll depend on you forever."

Jay's solemn expression eased.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, both of them were heartily content and fell down exhaustedly.

Jay's long arms fished her into his embrace as he muttered, "Rose, I don't have the strength to lose you again." Hugging him tightly, she reassured. "We'll never be separated again."

Along with the beautiful music of rain hitting the Japanese banana plants, Rose fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Jay was awakened by Rose's scream.

"Ah! I'm late for work."

Jay's languid voice was somewhat overbearing. "Don't go to work, I'll support you."

Rose shook her head and said, "No, no, the patient in Ward 11 is very important to me."

Although Jay did not like her going out and showing her face, he knew that she had a reason to go to work. As such, he personally sent Rose to the medical department of Grand Asia.

Rose changed into her nurse uniform and went to Ward 11.

In the ward, Zayne and Sera were quarreling awfully.

Zayne was insulting Sera with righteous indignation." You're the illegitimate daughter of a mistress. You're not a member of the Severe family at all. You coming to take care of my grandfather is riddled with your ill-intentions."

Sera was truly angry as she yelled back, "Zayne, you're uneducated and have no poise. Even if you're of the Severe's ancient blood, so what? You're still held in contempt!"

Chapter 513

Chapter 513

Rose pushed the door, went in, and screamed angrily," If you want to fight, do it outside. The patients need a good rest."

Zayne and Sera were both arrogant people, so how would they be willing to step down? They berated Rose one after the other, "Shut up." The two then quarreled even more.

Zayne said angrily, "Sera, your mother took my dad away and left my mother alone. Who do I pin the blame on if not your mother?"

Sera was not willing to show weakness. She said," Your mother couldn't keep my father and that's because she isn't capable."

With her eyes slanting at Zayne, she sneered, "You squandered the Severe family, so my father is disappointed in you. The Severe family has reshuffled their cards long ago and now my mother is the mistress My father has also placed all hopes on us brothers and sisters."

Zayne was unable to speak and had raised his fist to hit someone.

Sera shouted, "You foolish fellow, what else can you do besides using force to solve problems?"

Rose saw that the situation was not good and stepped

forward in front of Zayne. With both arms thrown wide, her eyes burned with anger.

"Zayne, enough."

Zayne inadvertently glanced at Rose's exposed skin and was instantly immobilized as if someone had cast a spell.

Then, she said to Sera, "Hurry up and leave!"

Sera was afraid that Zayne would beat her, so she quickly ran away.

At this moment, his eyes flickered with tears. He suddenly stretched out his hand to stroke Rose's face." How'd you become like this?" She knew that he must have recognized her, so she calmly faced him.

"It's a long story."

Zayne roared, "Then take your time and tell me."

Rose did not want to reveal some of the secrets she knew as those secrets could destroy all of Jay's hard work.

"Brother, please don't force me," Rose begged with tears.

Zayne was most afraid of his sister crying and immediately raised his hands to surrender.

"Alright, alright. If you don't want to say it now, then there's no need for you to say it. I'll wait until you want to talk about it."

Hearing him, she was relieved.

"By the way, why'd you quarrel with Sera today?" Rose asked curiously.

Zayne had a look of indignation on his face as he said, "Like mother, like daughter. She actually wants to follow in her mother's footsteps and become someone's mistress." With a trace of doubt in her eyes, she asked, "Whose mistress?"

Zayne blurted out, "She wants to be Jay's mistress."

Chuckling, she then said, "You must've made a mistake. If she wants to be Sir Ares' mistress, she'd still need his agreement."

Zayne looked at her with disbelief and was extremely emotional. "You don't believe it, but I personally heard her tell Grandpa that she wants to replace Angeline and marry Jay."

Rose's expression became solemn when she heard this.

"What has she got up her sleeve?"

Zayne patted her on the head, saying, "Rose, don't blame me for not reminding you, but men are visual animals. You're now disfigured and Sir Ares, the man on the top of the pyramid, isn't someone you can control. One day when he doesn't want you anymore, you have to be able to think past it. Come back and I'll support you for the rest of your life."

Rose muttered, "He's not the kind of man who'd just throw someone away after getting involved with them."

He merely said, "You're blindly trusting him."

Glancing at him, she spoke with hints of contempt," You can't even support yourself, so how can you support me?" Zayne was dumbfounded.

Chapter 514

Chapter 514

In order to set his sister's mind at ease, Zayne put up his hand and made a vow, saying, "I swear, I'll make a lot of money this year."

He then asked Rose weakly, "Don't you believe me?"

She smiled and nodded. "I believe you."

After that, she walked to the hospital bed, held her grandfather's hand, and said, "Grandpa, did you hear that? Brother's resolute now. Don't worry about us brother and sister and take good care of your body. The day when my brother becomes successful in his business, we'll congratulate him personally, alright?"

Tears overflowed from Old Master Severe's eyes. As Rose wiped away his tears, Old Master Severe suddenly moved his lips with difficulty and shouted," Angel!"

Rosen was ecstatic...

Meanwhile, Zayne was stunned.

"Grandpa, can you speak?"

"Protect Jay," Old Master Severe spat out the two words with difficulty.

Rose nodded. "Yes, I got it."

Zayne was dumbfounded.

Why did Grandpa allow Angel and Jay to be together?

It was plain to see that Angel being together with Jay was just bringing bad luck over and over again!

At noon, without knowing what emergency situation had happened, the head nurse suddenly called all the nurses to a meeting before instructing them, "There can be no mistakes made in these few days. If anyone slacks off during work, the hospital will give the most severe punishment."

Rose asked her colleague next to her in a whisper, "Why are we being supervised so strictly all of a sudden?"

The nurse put their hand to their mouth and whispered, "I heard that the third master of the Ares family had tried to commit suicide by jumping off the building and is currently being treated in our hospital. The Ares family will be visiting the patient these few days. That's why the director is very nervous as he's afraid that our poor service will make the Ares family unhappy."

Seeing Rose looking as if she did not understand the situation clearly, the nurse explained enthusiastically, "It doesn't matter if they're unhappy, but they're just afraid that they'll go to the president to file a complaint. If the president gets angry, every employee of Grand Asia Hospital will suffer."

Rose thought, 'How could the president be so terrible?'

However, the news of the third master trying to commit suicide by jumping off the building had

shocked Rose.

A few months ago, James dumped his wife who had been there for him even when he was not rich. He wanted to make his third wife his main wife and was even willing to go against Jay for it. At that time, he had been so happy with his achievements.

The fact that he had actually gone so far off in just a few months was really sad.

Just when Rose's mind wandered, the head nurse suddenly called out her name.

"Lenny, you'll be responsible for Ward 9."

The head nurse walked up to her, and there was a hint of pleading in her tone. "None of them want to be the nurse for Ward 9."

Rose nodded. "I'll go."

After the head nurse left, the nurses surrounded Rose and made a ruckus. "Lenny, the Ares family is a rich and powerful family. If you serve them well, you'll definitely get a lot of benefits. But if you don't serve them well, then your life may be forfeited."

They did not know that Rose was the young mistress of the Ares family and so were worried about her future. 1

When Rose pushed the cart toward Ward 9, she saw the old master of the Ares family. There was a crowd of people in the ward.

"The patient has just undergone an operation and needs to recuperate. With so many people in the ward, it'd be easy to cause hypoxia in the patient. Please leave immediately," Rose called out anxiously. "Where is this nurse from? How ignorant," the second wife immediately criticized Rose.

The corners of Jay's lips tugged into a soft smile. This little lady of his... Truly her courage was something he had cultivated since childhood.

A pair of large and long legs took a step out, dragging Rose along to the corridor. "Come out with me."

The others thought that Jay would personally punish this ignorant caretaker, so they did not pay much attention to her.

Chapter 515

Chapter 515

Jay pulled Rose out of the ward. He pressed her against the wall and interrogated her, "Aren't you only in charge of Ward 11?"

Rose shot him an innocent gaze with her deer-like eyes. "No one dared to serve your third uncle, so I came."

"Aren't you afraid that they'll trouble you?"

Rose raised her small face. Poking her little finger on his firm chest, she said with a tsundere-like expression, "I'm not afraid. I have someone I can rely on."

Jay's eyes kindled with joy as his large hands grabbed her small ones. "Okay, I'll let you rely on me."

When Rose re-entered the ward, everyone was shocked by the caretaker's 'rather die than submit' spirit.

"Huh, this little caretaker still dares to enter?"

"Guards, kick her out."

As soon as the second aunt's voice fell, Jay's brutal voice that was engulfed in bursts of cold wind was heard.

"Who dares to do that?"

Jay trailed behind Rose. His eagle eyes swept across everyone's faces as he said gloomily, "Except for Grand Old Master Ares, everyone else, get out."

As everyone was leaving the ward, they turned their heads to Rose. They were all very curious. How did this dull and plain caretaker persuade Jay to fulfill her wish?

The second aunt even questioned Jay's mother with suspicion, "Sister-in-law, who exactly is that little caretaker? Why does Jay listen to her so much?"

The madam looked glum and troubled as she responded, "Who knows where this ugly monster came from? My Jay seems to be obsessed with her and is particularly defensive when it comes to her." After the ward was cleared, the air became well-circulated. The field of vision had become wider.

James lay on the bed, on the verge of death. His whole body was encased in plaster and his skull was fixed in place. Only a pair of listless eyes wandered around, looking for something. Seeing Jay, James suddenly became agitated. "You... Get lost! I am how I am now... Thanks to you!"

Grand Old Master Ares and Rose had initially thought that Jay would not argue with him today despite having a lot of bad blood between them after seeing James' extremely tragic appearance.

Who knew that Jay would suddenly pull Rose along and walk toward James while his sinister voice sounded like the devil's shriek, "That's because you deserve it. Look at my wife. Isn't it because of you that she's become like this?"

Grand Old Master Ares looked at Rose in astonishment. "You're Rose?"

Rose nodded.

Grand Old Master Ares sighed helplessly, saying," Rose, this resentment between the uncle and nephew is caused by you. I think only you can release the hatred in Jay's heart! Let them bury the hatchet!" Rose was a little dumbfounded.

Grand Old Master Ares explained, "Jay directed his anger at your tragic encounter to the third wife's family. He always felt that these two matters, the ruckus in the third wife's family and your accident that happened at the same time, were by no means a coincidence."

James shouted in agitation, "I've said that it was a coincidence!"

Jay's brutal voice swallowed James'. "How could there be so many coincidences in the world?"

Staring blankly at Jay and seeing the veins popping out on his forehead out of anger, her eyes instantly became wet.

He loved her. He loved her until he became bigoted and stubborn.

In the end, Janies completely gave up on reasoning with Jay. "Forget it. You won't believe me anyway, so it's useless even if I say more."

Just as Grand Old Master Ares and James felt helpless about the strained uncle-nephew relationship, Rose suddenly called out softly, "Darling."

Chapter 516

Chapter 516

Jay was staring at Rose blankly. She had suddenly become obedient and pleasant. This call of 'darling' had ironed all the uncomfortable feelings in his heart and made him docile.

"Third Uncle is still a patient, so let him be." A soft smile overflowed from Rose's dark glazed eyes, laced with a bit of coquetry.

She had not looked at him with such innocence and admiration for many years.

For an instant, Jay felt like he had gone many years back when he and Angeline shared a peaceful time.

It was before none of the disasters had happened.

Jay's iron-clad heart began to melt, and when he spoke again, the aggressiveness in his voice vanished in thin air.

"James, for the sake of my wife's pleading, I won't argue with you anymore."

Grand Old Master Ares and James were stunned.

They did not expect the solution that they wracked their heads for to be resolved by Rose simply calling out 'darling'.

James shut his eyes speechlessly and did not bother to look at Jay again.

With the uncle and nephew conflict resolved for now, Jay expressed slightly his concern for his uncle. "Do tell. Why did you jump off the building?"

James was silent and speechless.

In the past few months, his mental journey, simply put, was penned with hot and bitter tears.

Jay wanted to rub salt on his wound and said deliberately, "I heard that you bought an apartment outside with the tens of billions of funds I gave you and even brought all the women and children into the apartment."

A painful expression appeared on James' face.

That was his worst decision.

All the women who lived in the apartment were either jealous of one another or wracking their brains to swindle his money.

Jay smiled evilly, saying, "Third Uncle, you have the joy of having several partners. How envious!"

Rose pinched his waist secretly and gave him a fierce but cute warning expression.

Jay was slightly startled. He realized that she was jealous, and a happy flower bloomed in his heart.

Turning back, he continued to say, "I don't understand. Here you are lying in this ward, but why don't I see those women bringing the children to visit you?"

James looked lonely and kept silent.

Jay teased him, saying, "Don't be sad. When we announce that you'll be returning to the Ares family, even if you're fully paralyzed, your women will come back to you." James rolled his eyes at Jay angrily.

At this time, Grand Old Master Ares intervened and said, "James, Jay just wants you to see the true colors of those mistresses. Since ancient times, true sentiments are always revealed in hard times. The people who stay with you when you're in dire straits are the ones who treat you sincerely. You should appreciate them."

At this moment, Third Aunt pushed the door and came in.

Grand Old Master Ares, Jay, and Rose went outside tacitly. They wanted James and Third Aunt to get on alone so that they could bury the hatchet.

Third Aunt saw James' chapped lips and brought him a cup of warm water. She then sat down by the bed and used a small spoon to feed the water to James.

"We're already divorced. Why are you here?" James' attitude toward Third Aunt was very indifferent.

Third Aunt smiled bitterly, saying, "Old Master, we've been husband and wife for 25 years. I know you hated me for 25 years. I came today not because I stubbornly want to get back with you. I just wanted to tell you that I've found the woman you like. Her life isn't very good right now, but if you want to marry her, I give you my blessings."

James gave a cold snort. "If you were this generous 25 years ago, then her life wouldn't be so miserable now. Back then, you took advantage of your status as the daughter of a rich family to frame her and bully her behind my back. I mistakenly believed in you and let her go astray... Go, I don't want to see you." Third Aunt left with teary eyes.

Chapter 517

Chapter 517

Outside of the ward.

Rose shrank her neck and leaned on the wall.

The Ares family's sharp eyes scanned her face as though they would not be satisfied if they could not extract detailed information from her.

"Jay, who exactly is this little caretaker? Why do you treat her so specially?" Jay's mother could not restrain the curiosity that welled from the bottom of her heart and asked.

Jay looked at Rose with a quiet smile, carrying an adoring expression in his eyes.

"Can I say it?" Jay asked Rose for permission.

Rose recalled Sera had said that she wanted to marry Jay in front of Grandfather. This matter had made her feel a little uneasy.

"Sir Ares, can I please have a moment with you?" Rose pulled Jay's hand and walked to the other end of the corridor.

"What's the matter?" Standing by the edge of the stairwell, Jay asked uncertainly.

Rose glared at him angrily, saying, "Sera said that she wants to marry you. You need to explain this matter to w. n me. Seeing her bulging cheeks, he thought they looked like two airbags. It was so cute that he immediately pinched her face.

"Rose, bigamy is illegal."

"Then, why did she say that?"

Jay's expression froze. "She probably doesn't know that I'm married yet."

She looked at the noble man and said enviously, "I know that you're so good-looking that you'll definitely be coveted by other women. The men in the Ares family all have the habit of having affairs. It's impossible for an ordinary woman like me to keep a hold on your heart forever. I just hope that when your heart deviates from me, please do tell me frankly. Let me walk away with a little dignity." Hearing her words, he immediately got mad and roared, "What good is there in Sera that's worth me giving up on you? Don't you trust me at all?"

Rose was so shocked by his going berserk that she kept quiet out of fear.

Suddenly, big fat tears rolled down.

"It's not that I don't trust you. I have no confidence in myself." She sobbed.

Jay was a little startled that the once confident and sunny Rose Loyle had also eventually lost to that scarred face.

He held her in his arms and patted her back gently as if he was comforting an unworldly baby. "Don't worry, I'll keep my distance from other women." Rose was very upset. It was her inferiority complex that led to her insecurities, but she had purposely troubled him.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have questioned you!"

He suddenly leaned over and kissed her while she was still in his embrace. The passionate kiss made her feel deeply the man's affection for her.

On the other side of the corridor...

After witnessing this scene, the members of the Ares family were so startled that their eyes were about to fall to the ground. "How could Jay kiss her?"

"Did Jay initiate the kiss with the caretaker?" Second Aunt looked shocked.

His second uncle, Jacob, also sighed in dismay. "Jay's taste in women is getting worse."

Jay's mother had a pale face.

After the long kiss ended, Rose blushed as her heart pounded quickly. She looked at Jay in horror.

He was not a man who could not control his hormones. She was really surprised that he had kissed her in front of the crowd.

"Rose, you have to explain it to me. 'The men in the Ares family all have the habit of having affairs'. What does this mean?"

Jay was a meticulous person. During Rose's long speech just now, the message he caught on was not just Rose's distrust of him.

Rose was stunned.

She should have known that he had no good intentions for kissing her.

Rose turned her face away and dodged his gaze.

From Grand Old Master Ares to his four sons, no man in the Ares family was clean.

It was just that these words hid the scandal of the Ares family and the secret of Jay's background that was not known to anyone. As such, Rose could not tell him.

Chapter 518

Chapter 518

Jay straightened her face and forced her to face him.

Rose grinned dryly and said, "Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and your younger brothers, aren't they all Don Juans and Casanovas?"

Jay, however, was being extremely serious. "Rose, explain to me the meaning of the word 'all'?"

Rose thought about carrying the title of Doyle family's' idiot'. Elaborate words were not the specialty of idiots, so she pretended to be stupid and said, "There are only a few men in your Ares family, and three of them are fooling around. Can't I use 'all'?"

Rose's far-fetched explanation might be able to fool others, but Jay knew that she was possessed by Angelina Severe, the scholar. How could he be tricked by her?

Since she was unwilling to be honest, Jay could only extract a confession by means of torture'.

"Rose, go back, look through a dictionary, and copy the meaning of the word 'all' a hundred times for me," Jay said with a cold face.

She nodded dully. "Oh, okay."

In the afternoon, Jay was called away via an emergency phone call from the company.

Rose had gone to the hospital cafeteria to have lunch

before returning. She then sat at the service station and immersed herself in writing down the meaning of the word 'all'.

Her colleagues looked at her curiously after seeing her as if she was the country's national treasure, a panda.

"Lenny, your boss is an adult. Who could be so nasty a s to punish you in such a childish manner?"

Rose wondered if she could tell them that this person with evil taste was their very own president. However, she was afraid they would cut off her tongue with scissors. She simply lied and said, "This is my son's homework. I'm helping my son copy his homework."

Her colleagues yelled again with outrage, "Your son's teacher is too weird. It's really immoral to punish children like this."

Rose's emotions were brought out by her colleagues." That's right. It's disgusting and perverted. I don't want to write anymore."

At night, Rose returned home carrying her homework that she had written only 50 times.

She daringly threw the homework in front of Jay.

After looking through her homework, Jay raised his gaze and asked her, "There's still another 50 lines?"

Rose had originally prepared ample reasons to reject his punishment. However, when she saw his pair of sharp eyes, she was instantly terrified.

"The rest was... Eaten by a dog!"

"Where did the dog come from?"

"Some family members of the patients in the hospital brought dogs over today."

Jay stood up and stared at her, saying, "Grand Asia Hospital doesn't allow family members of patients to bring dogs past the gate of the hospital!"

"Who said that?"

Jay pointed at his own nose. "I said it."

Hearing his words, her mouth twitched. Then, she remembered that this guy was the president of Grand Asia. He codified the hospital rules.

"50 more lines, right? I'll do it right now."

Rose sat angrily at the desk and began copying again.

Looking at her unbending back, he sighed and shook his head helplessly.

This girl must know some untold secrets of the Ares family and was unwilling to tell him. This made him extremely uneasy.

She had gotten injured in Tourmaline Estate, so why was she reluctant to share such a big grievance with him?

He walked over and took the pen out of her hand.

When Rose saw his gloomy expression, her heart became inexplicably nervous.

"Rose, we're husband and wife. Husbands and wives should be honest with each other, don't you think?"

Rose intentionally twisted the meaning of 'be honest with each other' and said weakly, "Sir Ares, is the rest to be paid with my body?"

He was angered by her ability to play dumb. When he was about to act up... Rose suddenly hooked onto his neck and kissed him.

This was the first time she had taken the initiative to do such things.

Jay was so provoked by her that he could not hold it in, so her interrogation had to be temporarily put aside.

Chapter 519

Chapter 519

Rose had a weak physique, so it did not take long for her to fall into a deep sleep. Jay stroked her palm-sized face, his slender fingers landing on her knitted brows. "Angeline, what kind of secret are you hiding? Can't you tell even me?"

He pondered about the men in the Ares family. His second uncle and third uncle had many love affairs when they were young. His fourth uncle, John Ares, was not married and was even more of a womanizer. Yet, Grand Old Master Ares and his father were men with lots of self-respect and self-discipline.

Why did Angeline say that all men in the Ares family had a habit of having affairs?

It was not as though Jay had never investigated the Ares family. Seven years ago, after Angeline got into the car accident, he had suspected that someone in the Ares family may have tampered with it. After all his marriage with Angeline was an allegiance of strong forces. It was bound to threaten the interests of the other families within the Ares family.

He had investigated for a long time but found no evidence that they set Angeline up. Instead, he found out about the rich love affairs of his second uncle and third uncle when they were young.

Now, it seemed that he neglected the two closest people around him-Grand Old Master Ares and his father.

Jay suddenly became irritated. The truth hidden in this thickly shrouded forest gave him a very intense feeling for some reason... That it was a secret that would bring upon destruction.

That was why Angeline was unwilling to tell him.

The next day.

When Rose woke up, Jay was still having a nightmare in his sleep. His brows were knitted tightly as though there was a deep sorrow that could not be dismissed.

Rose pecked his lips gently, afraid of disturbing him. Then, she left quietly.

She tiptoed to the kitchen and studied the use of the smart kitchen. Then, with the help of the smart robots, she made a scrumptious breakfast.

They were all Jay's favorite.

When Jay woke up leisurely, he sensed that the person in his arms had already left. He suddenly opened his anxious eyes.

Recalling the previous few times when she had left without saying goodbye, his heart was very uneasy. He put on his dressing gown in a hurry, and when he walked down the stairs, he heard movement coming from the kitchen.

Then, his gaze was drawn to the scrumptious breakfast on the dining table.

"You're awake?" Rose walked out from the kitchen, still wearing her large apron.

Jay's ice-cold heart was then melted by the scorching hot sun.

For many years, no one had cared about the quality of his diet.

Now, Rose was putting in so much effort in making breakfast for him, which made him feel satisfied and happy like he had never felt before.

He walked over and embraced her gently.

"Why are you so nice to me?" he asked hoarsely.

Rose smiled and said, "If I'm not nice to you, then who'll be?"

It was because she knew that it was lonely at the top.

He was a star out of the reach of others, but he was also lonely.

No one could understand him, no one could be friends with him, and no one could talk to him.

"Rose, you have to stay by my side forever, okay?" he said hoarsely.

She held his face and said sweetly, "Don't worry, even if you chase me away, I won't leave. I'll depend on you for the rest of my life and let you be my biggest

backer."

He scratched her nose gently. "This is our promise.

Let's stay together for the rest of our lives."

"Okay."

Chapter 520

Jay beamed with joy.

After breakfast, Jay sent Rose to Grand Asia Hospital a s usual. Before parting ways, Jay warned and said," The elders of the Ares family will come to visit Third Uncle these few days. If they trouble you, remember to tell me. I'll take care of them for you."

"I got it." Rose smiled sweetly.

As time was running out, Rose pushed open the door and got out of the car before running straight ahead.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a Rolls-Royce car horn from behind.

Rose turned her head in confusion and saw Jay's gloomy face looking at her like he was an aggrieved woman confined at home.

Then, he hooked his finger in her direction.

Rose turned back and asked, "Hubby, is there anything else?"

He suddenly hooked her head through the car window and kissed her to his heart's content.

He let go of her after a long time. "Next time, don't forget the goodbye kiss," he said.

Rose became red in the face by this stunt of his. "Oh, got it."

The attention from the pedestrians on the road made her run away in shame.

After she came to the inpatient department of Grand Asia, she went to Ward 11 to visit Grandpa after changing into her nursing uniform as usual.

Grandpa's condition had been getting better recently. It was probably due to the cooperation between Severe Enterprise and Ares Enterprises that helped Severe Enterprise get back up again. Her brother, Zayne, had also made a breakthrough in his journey of starting an enterprise. Grandpa was happy on the inside, so his body was recovering faster.

Rose came to the door of the ward, and as soon as she opened a crack in the door, she saw both Sera and Jay's mother inside.

Jay's mother took Sera's hand enthusiastically and said softly, "Sera, my Jay is cold and doesn't like to talk. You know this. You have to take the initiative. Jay's heart is not stone. He'll soon be moved by you." Rose's heart hurt a little. She really did not understand why Jay's mother was so intent on having Sera as her daughter-in-law.

Sera said, "Aunty, feelings can't be forced. I heard that Big Brother Jay and Rose love each other deeply."

At this comment, Jay's mother sneered, "You mean that illegitimate daughter from the Loyle family? How can she be worthy of my Jay? Don't you worry, they don't have feelings for each other. It's all for the sake of the children that Jay reluctantly forced himself to play along with her."

Sera was more sensible. She said, "Aunty, Big Brother Jay is not a wanton man. Since he had children with her, he must have feelings for her."

Jay's mother started laughing. "You've really misunderstood him. When my Jay married her, he didn't look at her for a whole year. He didn't even know what Rose looked like, but she's one cunning woman. She tricked my Jay and ran away while she was pregnant."

A ruthless light radiated in her eyes. "Otherwise, with the things she's done to Jay, how could Jay have tolerated her until now? She's shrewd and used the children to threaten Jay. Jay loves Jenson, so he slowly accepted her.

"Moreover, her whereabouts are unknown now. Maybe she's already dead..."

Rose pushed the door and interrupted the conversation between Jay's mother and Sera Severe. Jay's mother glared angrily at the uninteresting Rose.

She walked to Jay's mother, took off her mask, and bent forward before respectfully calling out, "Mom."

Jay's mother stood up in shock and looked at Rose in disbelief. "You're... Rose?"

She nodded with a smile. "Yes, Mom."

There was a horrible look on the madam's face. "How

did you become like this?"

Sera stood up in shock, saying, "So you're Rose Loyle. No wonder Big Brother Jay defended you in every possible way!"

An unhappy expression immediately appeared on the face of Jay's mother. "Sera, you flatter her too much. How could Jay defend her? He was merely afraid she would cause trouble and affect him negatively after her identity is revealed."

Glancing at this narrow ward, she smiled triumphantly again. "Otherwise, why would Jay bring her to the medical department of Grand Asia? It's because he can control her here and prevent this ugly monster from doing things that will damage the honor of the Ares family."
