Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1026

After Grayson left, Marilyn started grumbling endlessly, "I know you're a man of high morals and that's why you refuse to accept alms from others, but can’t you see what kind of life we're living? We don't have a single penny, and all the vegetables we ate today were the leftovers from the farmer’s market. How are we supposed to live a life like this?"

There was a hint of anger in Jay's eyes. "And you served our guest with vegetables like that?"

His icy tone sent Marilyn shuddering with fear. She then cried and said, "No housewife can cook a meal without food and vegetables. What do you suppose I d o?"

Jay roared. "Bread alone is enough to fill someone's stomach."

Having said that, he turned around and left abruptly.

He shut himself in the bedroom and inadvertently swept his gaze across the Hacker Empire books on the bedside table.

A singsong voice rang out in his mind. 'Mr. Ben, these are my mommy's favorite books!’

They were strangers who had never met, yet even so, she was able to so generously give him her favorite

books. A woman who lived outside of the illusory and fantasy of fame like that was one he truly admired.

He pulled out one of the Hacker Empire books and started flipping through it slowly.

In the living room, Marilyn sat on the couch in a daze.

Ben had rarely lost his temper at her. She was surprised to learn how terrifying he looked when he lost his temper. Even if he did not have an argument with her, those stern eyes alone were enough to frighten her out of her wits.

Marilyn wanted to say something to him at first, but she swallowed her words back in after seeing the look in his eyes.

Clenching both hands together, she felt a lingering fear in her heart when she thought of the incident this morning.

This morning, she had just returned home with Tiger.

When she was about to close the door, a figure suddenly came in from the side. When Marilyn took a closer look at that person, her entire being was crushed by despair.

"Why are you here again?" she asked in a shuddering voice.
