Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 26

Jay and Rose looked at "Jenson" in shock.

The words "Jenson" said rang alarms for both Jay and Rose.

Rose looked at Jay nervously, fearing that Jay would become suspicious. 1

Jay glared at Rose warily, his thin and charming lips curling into a sneer. "Rose, might it be that Jenson guessed it?"

Rose saw the flames rising from Jay's eyes and her heart was uneasy.

Rather than letting him find out about the truth, she thought it would be better to tell him a half-truth. "I have a daughter," she said slowly. "One year younger than Jenson... During these two days, she had a cold and fever. I was late because I had to take care of her."

Jay frowned.

He was repulsed by the thought of the woman finding another man to make babies with right after leaving him.

Jay interrupted her rudely, "I don't want to know about your family. Since you don't have the time to take care of Jenson wholeheartedly, you shouldn't take this job in the first place. Pack your things and leave immediately!"

Rose stood there, looking at "Jenson" reluctantly.

More tears rolled down from her eyes.

Baby Robbie was really upset whenever he saw Mommy crying.

'Mommy is the best Mommy in the world. Mommy works so hard every day. She gets up early and comes back late just for us. But Daddy knows nothing. He only knows how to complain about Mommy. What can Ido?'

Baby Robbie suddenly got another idea and jumped onto Rose. His legs wrapped tightly around Rose's like an octopus.

Shamelessly, he said, "I won't let Rose go. Daddy, I beg you. Even though Rose is late, she treats me well.

She’s so knowledgeable about many things. She teaches me how to sing, how to play the piano, how to read poetry, and even how to draw..."

When he saw this, Jay could feel his temple throbbing.

Was he hallucinating?

'How did the cool little boy who would not get close to any relatives act like that for Rose? And the number of words he spoke!

That really surprised Jay. 1

"Jenson, get off her." Jay beckoned Baby Robbie.

"No. Unless you promise me first." Baby Robbie blinked his pair of innocent eyes at Jay and tried to

bargain.

Jay was amused by his cute look and grinned slightly. "Very well, I'll let her stay. Only if you let Daddy see how much you've learned within these two days."

Baby Robbie was a naturally gifted kid. He was mentally and physically developed. He was not afraid t o show Daddy what he knew.

He jumped off from Mommy and did not notice the growing suspicion in Rose's eyes.

Rose's eyes suddenly glanced upstairs...

She felt fairly certain that the talkative cute little baby was her Baby Robbie.

Baby Robbie stood in front of Jay like a little man and looked up at Daddy. He proudly said, "What do you want to test me in first?"

Jay remembered the beautiful poem that his son had praised Rose for reading. However, when he asked Jenson to read the poem for him, Jenson was hesitant and stuttered the entire way.

"Reciting poetry," Jay said curtly. 1

To his surprise, Baby Robbie started reciting the poem called The Image of Orange Day-Lily. It was a poem about motherly love. "Oh, the bright orange day-lily that grew under the back east room.”

Jay frowned and looked at Rose with dissatisfaction.' She abandoned her child for five years and now she wanted him to praise her?’ "Change to another one," Jay snapped.

Baby Robbie started reciting another poem called The Song of the Wanderer without thinking about it.

“The fine lines on Mother’s hands. The clothes of the wanderer's clothes."

It was yet another poem of maternal love.
