Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 267

After coming out of the shower, Jay glanced at the dimly lit corridor on the second floor. He frowned when he saw that all the bedroom doors were tightly shut.

He had told Rose and the children to choose the rooms they liked, and it seemed as if they had all successfully avoided being neighbors with him.

Was he that scary?

Jay went downstairs. The servant, Mother Zachary, was busy preparing dinner.

Seeing Jay, Mother Zachary said very kindly, "Master, dinner will be ready very soon. I'm going to ask the young lady and the children to come down for dinner."

Originally, Mother Zachary was a super chef in Tourmaline Estate; she was the one that had stayed there for the longest time. Jay’s mother had helped her solve many of her family problems, so the grateful Mother Zachary had always been particularly kind to the Ares family’s first wife. She even regarded Jay as her own child.

Jay also trusted Mother Zachary a lot, so he took Mother Zachary out regardless of the opposition of the other wives. He allowed her to take care of Rose and his children.

Mother Zachary's cooking skills and moral standings

were good, and they were what Jay valued the most.

Jay nodded, and his eyes followed Mother Zachary's slightly rickety back until she reached the top floor of the villa.

His dark pupils were covered with a layer of chilly mist. He lived on the second floor, but she had chosen to live on the fourth floor. In other words, she had deliberately chosen the room farthest from

him in the villa. What did she mean by it?

When Rose brought the children downstairs, Jay's face was sullen.

He was usually a reserved person, and whenever he was not speaking, his body seemed as if it had been passed through an ice cellar. Additionally, he had a stern but handsome face.

The temperature in the room instantly dropped below freezing point.

Rose and the children took their seats on the dining chairs one after another; everyone bowed their heads and focused on eating. They dared not even exhale loudly.

Jay took a seat as well. He did not want to make the atmosphere rigid. However, whenever he was in a bad mood, his expression would turn ugly, and the icy aura that he had been born with would unconsciously show through.

Rose had always been a coward in front of him.

Baby Robbie was good at observing social situations and saw that his daddy was in a bad mood. Thus, he concluded that it would be better to not mess with him.

Jenson Ares did not even bother to pay any attention t o Daddy.

Baby Zetty was the only one who stretched out her soft hands to touch his sour face. She daringly provoked him by saying, "Uncle, why is your expression so dark? Would you like to wash it with bleach?”

Jay turned his head to look at Baby Zetty who was cute and cuddly. Nonetheless, there was madness hidden in her bones. Like Angeline, she usually looked docile but would lash out with her claws if she was provoked.

"Are you not afraid of me?" Jay's words had no warmth to them.

He found it strange because he had seen all kinds of cruel characters, and whenever they saw his expression fall, they would inevitably shiver and sweat.

As for this little bun, whenever he was angry, she would only stare at him. Why was she not afraid of him?

"Why should I be afraid of you, you’re not a tiger." Baby Zetty said boldly.

"Baby Zetty, don't talk when you're eating," Rose quickly reminded Baby Zetty.

She was afraid that both of them, who were already indifferent to each other, would have an even worse relationship because of this small matter.

Jay glanced at Rose who was on the opposite side and saw her nervousness that was being displayed through her body language. He paused his cold expression and said meaningfully, "Well, if you're not afraid of me, why do you have to stay at such a high place?"

Baby Zetty was very honest. "It was Mommy who said i t would be safer to stay away from the second floor."

Rose almost spit out her mouthful of rice.

Jay's icy gaze shot toward her like a knife. "I want to know the logical explanation as to why the fourth floor is safer than the second floor?”

Rose poked her numb scalp with her chopsticks. What logical reason was there? It was just an excuse for her t o stay away from him.

She focused intently and thought for a long time before squeezing out the words, "Four is my lucky number."

Jay was speechless. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Pseudoscience!"

Rose did not dare to speak any longer and merely lowered her head before continuing on with her meal.

"Move everything downstairs for me."

When she heard Jay’s unexpected command, Rose was a little dazed.

"Master Ares, why? It's troublesome to move things around."
