Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 186

"Who taught you the saying about cabbage getting eaten and ruined by pigs?"

"Aunt Josephine."

Rose,It seemed like she and Josephine needed to have a talk.

Her gaze shifted to the uneasy-looking Jenson. "What about you, Jens? Why did you say such rude words like mentally retarded to the teacher?"

Jenson bit his lip and remained silent.

Rose treated her sons differently. Ever since Baby Robbie started practicing Taekwondo, he had gone through countless arduous training and now had skin as solid as a bear's. She would hit him a few times and it would only feel like she was tickling him.

On the other hand, Jens grew up in the Ares family with his needs attended to very carefully. Coupled with his mild autism, Rose was exceptionally gentle toward him.

"Jens, Mommy won’t beat you or scold you. Mommy just wants to know why you said those ill- mannered words. Mommy can only help you to correct your mistakes and make you an even more outstanding and likable child if you tell Mommy the truth."

Under Rose's patient and gentle guidance, Jenson

finally spoke, "The teacher said among the three little pigs, the eldest one is lazy, the second one has petty shrewdness, and only the third is hardworking and pragmatic. She asked me which pig I would like to be.

I said that only mentally retarded people would answer this question because I don’t want to be a pig."

Rose was dumbfounded.

Though the question did sound a bit odd, the teacher certainly did ask it out of malice. She was simply trying to test the children’s perception of character, and it just so happened that her son was a prodigy who was shrewd enough in his manner of thinking.

"Sigh." Rose sighed. "Jens, go and recite the story of the three little pigs again, then come over and tell Mommy which little pig you prefer and why."

Jenson stood up.

Baby Robbie looked at Jenson who remained intact and cried out in disbelief, "That's not fair, Mommy. Why do you spank my butt when I do something wrong but forgive Jenson when he does something wrong?"

Rose hesitated and said wittily, "That’s because you beat up other students, whereas Jens criticized the teacher. One was done using hands while the other using mouth, hence Mommy will serve both of you with the same sauce. You hit someone, so I'm beating you. Jens criticized the teacher, so I'll make sure to make his mouth move."

Baby Robbie whimpered. "Had I known that earlier then I wouldn’t have hit them in the first place." He then snarled in his heart. 'I should've used my mouth instead and give those brats an earful until they can't stand it anymore.'

Jay had yet to return home even after dinner.

After tucking Jenson and Baby Robbie in, Rose returned to her room.

As she stood silently by the window screen looking at the darkening night sky, she started feeling inexplicably anxious.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Why was Jay not home yet?

She wondered how he was doing today after his digestive issues relapsed last night.

Sigh!

What right did she have to show him any concern?

He did not even need her concern.

"Sigh!” Baby Zetty’s sigh was heard from underneath the blanket, i

Rose turned her head back in surprise and saw Baby Zetty sitting up on the bed. She was looking at Mommy pitifully.

When Rose walked over, Baby Zetty put her arms around Mommy's neck and asked sadly, "Mommy, I've worked very hard to please Daddy. Why does he still not like me?" 1

Rose was stumped for words.

"He didn't even answer my call," Baby Zetty said sadly.
