Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 112

After some time, Rose carried a few plates of dumplings out.

The small rectangular dining table was full of animal-themed children’s plates. It was starting to look like a zoo.

Jay looked at the dragon-themed plate in front of him and was flustered. Was he supposed to use such a childish plate as well?

The children cheered as they received their cutleries. They tapped on the plate with their chopsticks and knives.

"There's my favorite carrot and meat dumpling," Baby Robbie cheered.

"There’s my favorite cabbage dumpling,” Zetty cheered gently as well.

"And there’s my favorite potato dumpling," Jenson cooly said.

Jay looked at the plate full of semi-opaque and shiny dumplings. Through the skin, the children seemed to b e able to see through the dumplings and happily guessed the filling.

When Rose carried the last plate of dumplings out, Jenson, who was initially next to Jay, suddenly stood u p and left his seat. He went over to Rose and pulled

his mommy's hand, guiding her to Jay. "Mommy, sit!"

Baby Robbie cheered, "That's great. Mommy and daddy are sitting together. Our family has reunited."

Baby Robbie's unintentional sentence caused Jay’s expression to become solemn.

A reunion might be the children's dreams, but it was not Jay’s dream.

Rose sighed softly. She understood the rejection he had for her in his heart. She only sat next to him to fulfill the children's tiny wishes.

Her body inadvertently moved further from Jay, trying her best to reduce the restricted feeling he had.

"Daddy, have some dumplings." Baby Robbie enthusiastically grabbed a dumpling for Jay and placed it on his plate.

Jay reluctantly picked up the dumpling and took a small bite.

The soft dumpling skin against the fragrant meat filling left a sweet aftertaste in his mouth. This was the tastiest dumpling he had ever eaten.

Jay was slightly stunned. Rose’s cooking skills were good. She could turn such plain ingredients into good food.

He had initially planned to eat a few pieces of dumplings out of politeness for the kids, but he ended up going for multiple rounds.

Baby Robbie looked at his daddy and an idea came to him. He grinned and said, "Daddy, have you heard of the story about how General Han Xin repaid his gratitude to a Madam for the meal she gave him with a thousand catties of gold?"

Jay nearly choked on the dumpling that was in his mouth and raised his eyelids to look at Baby Robbie.

'I've merely eaten a few pieces of Rose's dumplings, but this brat is trying to rob me!'

"Yes." Jay nodded and lowered his head to continue eating his dumplings. He wanted to see what philosophy this fella was going to recite.

At this point, he was even thinking badly about Rose because he thought that she was the one who instigated Baby Robbie to say such things.

Unfortunately, before Baby Robbie could begin his speech, Rose lectured him. "We do not speak during meal times and before sleeping."

Baby Robbie pouted and sighed.

'Mommy is too kind. That's why she is always suppressed by Daddy.’

Jenson looked at Baby Robbie who was feeling dissatisfied. He put down his chopsticks, took a piece of tissue, and elegantly wiped his mouth. He then announced with seriousness, "I’ve finished eating.”

Rose and Jay nodded.

Jenson usually did not speak unnecessarily, so why did he announce loudly that he had finished his meal?

What a twist of events that made the two adults dumbfounded, Jenson then said, "Daddy, in ancient times, Han Xin repaid his gratitude for a meal. Since w e had the dumplings Mommy made today, we should emulate the ancient people and repay Mommy’s efforts."

Jay immediately stopped eating. He saw the glee that was exchanged between Jenson and Baby Robbie. Suddenly, he realized that he had been sold out by both of his sons.

Jay lost his appetite and looked at Rose with ridicule.

"The children's suggestion is not too bad. I shall emulate the ancient practice and repay this meal with a thousand catties of gold. Tomorrow, I'll get someone t o send over that thousand catties of gold."

A thousand catties of gold converted into Yuan was only about 10 million Yuan.

In the expensive Imperial City, perhaps that amount could improve Rose's living standards, but it would not change her ultimate fate.

Baby Robbie and Jenson sighed. 'Daddy is very rich, but he is so stingy toward Mommy."'

Rose was angered by Jay's pittance and tactlessly said, “Sir Ares, you're being too polite. We couldn't finish the dumplings, but it would be a waste to feed

the remainders to the dogs."

Jay's handsome face turned icy. 'Does she just want to say that I'm eating dog food?'

Rose took the empty plates with her as she escaped into the kitchen.

Zetty was a slowpoke. She was the only one left slowly eating the last few pieces of dumplings.

Jay was feeling annoyed after being insulted by Rose. He frowned when he saw Zetty’s dilly-dally behavior.

Zetty looked at Jay and felt the disgust he had for her. She suddenly rolled her eyes at him.

The way she rolled her eyes was horrifying. Her irises were completely hidden, leaving her white sclera. She had lowered her head too, looking completely like a female ghost.

Jay was stunned. He was very familiar with Zetty’s haunted look because Angeline used to do it often when she was young.

He suddenly reached over to pinch Zetty’s face and asked, "Who taught you this?"

Zetty avoided his hand and ignored him.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Jay’s brows knitted together when he saw that he was being ignored.

Unknowingly, time passed by quickly and the sky was now dark.

Jay looked at the watch on his wrist a few times before shifting his gaze to Baby Robbie. He could not bring himself to speak up.

He wanted to bring Baby Robbie back to Horizon Colors. Tomorrow was a weekend, and coincidentally, he had no plans and wanted to spend some time with his sons. He wanted to make up for lost time.

However, he knew that Baby Robbie would not agree t o go with him if Rose did not suggest it.

He hesitated for a long time and finally entered the kitchen.

Rose noticed the hesitance in his gaze. She was moved that a man with such a high status as he could have such an expression show for the sake of his children.
