Chapter 111
Chapter 111
Jay was not the least bit bothered by Rose's provocation, but he was worried about one thing. 'If a salted fish like her is busy being the savior of the world, then who is going to take care of my son, Baby Robbie?'
The thought of his little Baby Robbie being neglected b y Rose made his heart extremely uneasy.
That day after work, Jay brought Jenson over to Exuberant City. Rose opened the door, and her expression was flabbergasted when she saw Jay.
They had just argued so vehemently that afternoon. Where was his self-respect to be visiting her now?
Jay was sacrificing everything for his son. Even his morality had been fed to the dogs. With a twinkle in his peach eyes, he smiled gentlemanly at Rose and said, "Jens misses his brother. I'll bring the boys out for dinner. No objections?"
Rose was stunned while remaining standing at the entrance.
'This fella actually believes that he only has two sons? If he continues to blatantly ignore his daughter, Zetty's fragile heart is going to crack into fine shards one day soon."
Rose was feeling very depressed when Baby Robbie suddenly ran over and said, "Daddy, let's bring Little
Sister along?”
Jay looked at Zetty with the corner of his eyes. She was glaring at him like he was her archenemy. He was taken aback. ‘Is this little girl my nemesis? Why does she always glare at me with such animosity?'
Jay wanted to reject that request.
However, he could never say no to his cute Baby Robbie. Jay smiled and said, "Daddy doesn't mind if her guardian allows it."
Rose's hand was curled into a fist under her long sleeves. She was suppressing her urge to send this man who was ruthlessly torturing his daughter’s pride flying across the Pacific Ocean. However, in front of the children, Rose still maintained her composure. She walked over to Zetty and gently asked, “Zetty, do you want to go out with your brothers?"
Zetty nodded her head pitifully, but in the next second, she glared at her daddy and shook her head vigorously. "I won't go." Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Rose gently caressed Zetty's head and pulled Zetty into her embrace.
Baby Robbie saw that Zetty was not joining them, so h e ran back into the house and sulked. "Since Zetty is not going, then I'm not going as well."
Jay did not expect Baby Robbie and Zetty's relationship to be so good that they could not be separated. He could not help but frown in agitation.
Rose carried Zetty and walked over to Jay. She said with antagonism, "Zetty and her brother have never been separated since they were young. You're being very cruel to do such a thing to them. Sir Ares, let me advise you something. You need to have some kindness. Otherwise, karma might come biting you from the back."
Jay replied with fury, "I'm only inviting my son out for dinner, yet you've demonized me. Rose, are you making me look bad in front of the children on purpose?"
Baby Robbie saw that his daddy and mommy were bickering again. He suddenly interrupted, "Jenson, Mommy made your favorite potato dumplings. Would you like to stay back and eat them
together? Mommy purposely made extra for you!"
Jenson looked at his daddy. He wanted to stay so badly.
Jay felt the defeat of not gaining any leverage. Instead, he was even at the losing end. He had planned to take Baby Robbie away but ended up sacrificing Jenson. H e was a shrewd businessman, thus he could not be doing deficit business. He thickened his skin and said, "Rose, do you mind if we stay and eat some of your cheap dumplings?"
Rose shook her head speechlessly.
'Why is this fella’s mouth so insidious?'
"Up to you if you want to stay or leave," she mumbled
before heading into the kitchen.
Once she shut the kitchen door, her heart inexplicably raced.
"Useless,” she chided herself shamefully.
'I know very well that I have no position in his heart. He's only staying because he loves his children. Why a m I still holding on to any thread of hope that is nonexistent?
'What am I hoping for?
'Hoping that he’ll let go of his prejudice toward me and mend our destiny?'
Outside the door, Baby Robbie affectionately pulled on his daddy's hand while putting in good words for his mommy. "Daddy, the dumplings that Mommy makes may not have expensive ingredients, but after being processed through Mommy’s skillful hands, those dumplings then become the world's
tastiest dish. Businessmen should know that the cost price of an item includes the raw materials and labor costs too, right? Mommy’s labor cost is priceless because it is filled with love."
Jay looked in horror at Baby Robbie. He had no reason not to like such a knowledgeable Baby Robbie.
Jay patted the back of Baby Robbie’s head and asked gently, "Who taught you these? Philosophy and Economics?"
He was sure that Rose had not taught him these as
Rose grew up in poverty. For her to grasp some hacker skills was already an eye-opener for him. He did not think that she had the financial capability nor brain capacity to grasp and apply any knowledge.
Baby Robbie hugged Jay's neck and said, "Mommy of course! Mommy knows plenty of things... She taught u s hacking skills, drawing, writing poetry... Her drawing is more beautiful than our school teacher’s drawings!"
Jay was dumbfounded when he heard the reply. He never thought of Rose that way. In his mind, he suddenly recalled the challenging gaze that Rose had, so full of confidence and so dazzling.
He thought that she was just an idiot with unrealistic dreams. Did she have some hidden talents?
Zetty suddenly walked over and pulled Baby Robbie’s hand, looking at Jay with caution. "Brother, he is a bad person who's always bullying Mommy. Don’t tell him anything about Mommy..."
Jay was stunned!
This little girl had such a strong guard against him that she could sniff out his animosity toward Rose?
"What is your name?" He was a busy man who did not bother to remember insignificant details. He had chosen to forget Zetty's full name and nickname.
"I'm not telling you that my name is Rozette Doyle,"
Zetty announced proudly.
Jay laughed spontaneously.
He had never observed this child so closely before. After all, she was not his biological child, thus he always neglected her. Now that he was paying close attention, he realized that this little girl had exquisite features.
If she was not Rose’s daughter, she would seem very likable.
