Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 167

Jay walked up to Rose and saw several young noblemen around her. They were full of praise for Rose.

"Miss Loyle is not only beautiful but also dances well. I wonder which university you studied in. It must be one of the top universities in the country, right?"

Jay stopped to stare at Rose with a slight frown. As far as he knew, Rose's degree was low-ranked- it was only from an insignificant third-tier university.

The man who asked her the question was Nancy's brother, Gale Bell. He was trying to embarrass Rose.

Jay was hesitating whether to help Rose or not, but Rose smiled and calmly retorted, "I heard Young Master Bell was also a student with poor grades in high school, making all the teachers have headaches. However, Young Master Bell went abroad to touch up for a few years and came back in high spirits. Young Master Bell and I have the same experience in our studying process. We thought little of our studies here. Only when we went abroad did we realize that the moon in a foreign country is not as round as it is back home, so we worked diligently and hard and made some progress.” 1

She only spoke a few words but explained her former gross ignorance and the cause and effect of her blossoming now.

Gale Bell sullenly closed his mouth.

Jay looked at Rose and wondered how many secrets were the mediocre-looking woman hiding.

The other men saw Jay walking toward Rose and scattered.

Rose looked at Jay who was standing in front of her. She was surprised and looked at him dumbfoundedly.

Jay set his falcon-like eyes on Rose's flaming red lace dress. He still could not believe they had both chosen t o wear red today.

He preferred to believe that it was her plan. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Rose could see through his icy eyes that he was upset about them wearing the same color and stood up. She stammered, "Sir Ares, it's time for me to go back. The children are having a good time. Can you send them home later, please?"

With that, Rose was about to run away.

However, Jay suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. "Rose..."

Rose looked at him quizzically, her eyes fixed on the hand that held her wrist. Shock was evident on her pretty face.

This guy had always hated touching people, no? Especially her. He was disgusted with her.

Jay saw the great panic in her eyes and uncomfortably loosened his grip. He took out a tissue and wiped his hand that had touched Rose. He then looked haughtily at her.

"Go back after you dance with me." Even though he was the one asking for a favor, his attitude showed otherwise.

"I'm tired," Rose said, exasperated by his disapproving gesture.

She was gently rejecting him!

For the first time in his life, Jay was getting rejected b y a woman. A desire to conquer her swelled as he leaned forward to keep Rose within inches of him. 1

The pressure from him enveloped Rose in a suffocating embrace. Rose unconsciously leaned back, trying to get distance herself away from him.

However, when she retreated, he drew even nearer.

Rose's body was bent back into a bow. She was about t o fall, but he kept pushing. Rose had to put her hand o n his chest and push him.

In the end, Jay's hands were pressed against the table while Rose was locked in his long arms. The gesture made her blush and heartbeat go haywire in the small space.

A lot of people gave meaningful glances in their direction. Women gritted their teeth with envy.

Rose blushed with shame. "Sir Ares, please behave yourself."

A sneer flashed in Jay's eyes. "Don't play hard to get,

Rose. It doesn't work for me."
