Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 233

Eventually, Rose could not keep her eyes open and fell asleep.

Jay heard her steady breathing and opened his eyes.

He turned his body to his side and looked at her sleeping face. Her appearance was starkly different, but the resemblance to Angeline was undeniable.

He had never looked at her straight in the face, perhaps because her appearance was not the same, much less tried to understand her since seven years ago, when she had given up her all to marry him.

They could have spent their time happily together, but he had squandered it all.

He had hurt her deeply, and she had learned how to hide her scars.

Jay lifted her hand and gently touched Rose's cheek.

The woman he hurt the most was the woman he loved the most.

He hugged her close to his body, allowing his solitude over the years to be washed away by the bliss of her presence.

With her and the children, what more could he ask for?

If he had a regret, that would be the daughter that she bore while married to another man.

Jay felt his heart ache whenever he was reminded of that unknown man.

He only had himself to blame for not taking care of her seven years ago.

The sun came up the next day.

Rose groggily awoke. She was shocked awake when she realized that she was in the warm embrace of someone else.

She forced open her bleary eyes, and the first thing she saw was Jay's fiendishly handsome face.

Rose suffered a huge shock. She carefully moved his arm away and lifted his leg that was pinned on her body. She got out of bed and almost ran out of the room.

The children left her a note on the coffee table. She could tell that the handwriting was Robbie's, but Jens and Zetty had signed their names on the note too.

The note read:

Daddy, Mommy,

Did you sleep well last night? Jens said that Daddy is scary whenever he wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, and so we didn't dare to disturb you. We've left for school ourselves. We can also get breakfast on our own, don't worry.

Sweet dreams, Daddy and Mommy!

Robbie, Jens, and Zetty

Rose lifted her head and looked at the clock on the wall. It was ten o'clock. She wondered if the children arrived at the kindergarten safely.

Rose was worried. Baby Robbie might have been an independent child, but they had newly moved to Cloudy Dreams, and she wondered if he knew the way to Horizon Kindergarten. What if they got lost?

She became anxious the more she thought about it. She wanted to call the kindergarten, but her phone was in the bedroom.

She carefully pushed open the bedroom door. Jay was still sleeping soundly after staying up for most of the night.

Rose tiptoed into the room and pulled open the bedside drawer.

The movement was slightly, but Jay was jolted awake anyway.

Rose's heart thumped madly when she saw Jay's eyes that were suddenly open.

She had never witnessed Jay's morning tantrums, but she had heard of it.

According to rumors, there were no survivors after his morning tantrums. 1

Rose wondered if she could curl up in one corner so that he did not see her.

He suddenly stretched his arm toward Rose. Rose dared not take his arm in case he broke it into two.

"Hm?" Jay grunted unhappily when he saw that Rose gave him no response.

Rose summoned her courage, closed her eyes, and handed him her hand. 'This is it, I accept my fate,' she thought.

He pulled her with a strong jerk, and she fell into his arms.

"I think you owe me an explanation for all the hugging, cuddling, and kissing last night." 1

"Ah?" Rose stared at him cluelessly.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

'Why don't I remember anything?'

"I tend to misbehave when I'm asleep, but if I've really done something untoward to you, I apologize sincerely.
