Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 155

His understanding of her had never gone beyond that night seven years ago. She had made a fool of herself a t the wedding banquet. Rose Loyle, as Jay's soon-to-be wife, was supposed to be the highlight of the night, but she had screamed when she saw him as though she had seen a ghost. Her expression that day was the same as a fanatic who had met her movie idol. She had hugged and nibbled him in front of everyone.

It was as though they were like lovers who had reunited after a long separation.

He had lost all his face because of her that day.

From then on, he had considered the daughter born out of wedlock of the Loyle family to be an uncivilized country bumpkin.

After the marriage, he cast her aside like an old shoe.

He hoped that he would weather through his financial crisis and then resolutely divorce her. Unfortunately, that uncivilized country bumpkin in his eyes was not as naive and innocent as he imagined. She set him up and snatched his virginity from him. 1

Ever since then, his hatred toward her had intensified. His anger had blinded him toward her virtues.

After being repeatedly rebuked by her various actions, Jay finally noticed that he might have misunderstood her.

It was true that she was the daughter of Royan Loyle born out of wedlock, but he did not know how it was like growing up in a countryside village. Perhaps judging her to be an uncouth woman based on her educational background might have been too narrowminded of him.

Some trees thrive in the most horrendous weather and the steepest cliffs. Perhaps Rose Loyle was someone like that.

"Sir Ares!"

Jay, who was walking in front, abruptly stopped when he heard Rose call him. He turned around and looked uncertainly at her.

"What is it?"

Rose did not move forward because she wanted to keep a distance from him.

She stood about a meter away from him. To ease the relationship between Baby Zetty and her father, she tried to look and sound as servile as she could.

"My Baby Zetty isn't as rude and uneducated as you might think. I don't know why, but her bad temper only flares up when she's interacting with you. 1

"She's very kind and docile when she's alone with me. She would cry because she couldn't help a snail find its home. She would take care of her classmates who are sick with a cold. Of course, she would also massage my back and wash my feet regularly..."

Rose was speaking timidly. She was worried that Jay might misunderstand her attempts of bringing the father and daughter closer together, instead of thinking that she was only using her daughter so that she could remarry Jay.

To her surprise, Jay responded favorably for the first time. He did not think that Rose had an ulterior motive, but instead looked doubtfully at her. "I'd like t o know too, why is she so bad-tempered toward me?"

He had thought that Rose had taught the little girl to b e rude to him. However, she seemed like she was trying her best to ease the tension between him and the little girl. It meant that she might not be a bad influence on the children.

He had been observing how Rose educated the children with logic and love. She did not seem to be the type to make enemies for her children. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Rose did not know how to reply to Jay's question.

'Doesn't he have any inkling why Zetty doesn't like him?'

Jay treated Mommy badly, and Zetty was very protective of Mommy. How could the little girl tolerate how Daddy abused Mommy?

Jay was suddenly on alert. What was Rose's intention of warming him up to Zetty? "I don't think it's any of m y business whether your Baby Zetty is a good or a bad girl, right?"

"Don't worry, I don't have any unrealistic expectations. It's just that I see Baby Zetty sometimes feel dejected when she sees how you treat Jens and Baby Robbie. A s her mother, I care about what she feels. She's

lacking a father's love after all. What I'm trying to say i s, Sir Ares, can't you treat her a little better, seeing that she's an innocent little girl who doesn't know any better?" Rose stumbled with her words.

Jay looked at Rose, cautious of offending him, and immediately understood. 'So that was why Zetty has been treating me better for the past two days?'
