When the VIP room’s door suddenly opened, the people waiting outside the door immediately surrounded them. Everyone's gaze was fixated on Grand Old Master Ares and Jay's facial expressions.
Unfortunately for them, both Grand Old Master Ares and Jay were masters in concealing their emotions. Their expressions were the same as always-cold and solemn. It was as if nothing had happened between them.
Grand Old Master Ares' gaze inadvertently glanced toward Baby Zetty's ward. Then, he said to Jay, "Since her mother isn’t here, you'll have to bear with it these few days. Once the child is discharged, take her to Tourmaline Estate to play. Bring Jens and Baby Robbie as well. I miss them already. Let’s bring them all back together."
Jay nodded. "Yes, Grandfather."
Everyone was utterly bewildered at the scene. Not only was the grandfather and grandson duo not at each other's throats, but they were unexpectedly harmonious as well.
John murmured lightly, "Dad, Jens and Baby Zetty are the Ares' flesh and blood, so we don't have any objections in letting them return to Tourmaline Estate. But Zetty is merely Jay's future stepdaughter. You’ve always hated illegitimate children entering
Tourmaline Estate, Dad. However, you’re showing such love to Zetty. Aren't you afraid you’ll upset the other illegitimate nieces and nephews?" 4
His second uncle, Jacob Ares, and his third uncle, James Ares, were silent. After all, they had the most number of children born out of wedlock.
Grand Old Master Ares had always refused their illegitimate children from entering Tourmaline Estate. Yet, he was treating Jay's stepdaughter so differently. The difference in treatment was making the two of them feel somewhat dissatisfied.
However, the madams from the second and third branches of the family were evidently resentful at John’s justifiable remarks. The two glared fiercely at John. "You shouldn't go around touching a sore spot, John! You’re only making Father unhappy."
John continued, "Sooner or later, this matter will present itself so openly that escaping it is no longer a solution. Those illegitimate Areses born out of wedlock are scattered outside. It’s not a long-term solution.”
Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay and deliberately threw this problem for him to solve.
Jay looked at his uncles’ eager expression. If he did not give them a reasonable explanation, these uncles would definitely not let him off the hook.
John looked at him with a wicked smirk on his face." What do you think, Jay?"
A smile appeared on Jay’s handsome and chiseled face. If several of his uncles felt that this was enough t o put him in a difficult position and force him to tell the truth about the secret conversation he had with his grandfather today, or they expected him to persuade his grandfather to accept those illegitimate cousins into the Ares' family tree, then it was a miscalculation on their part.
"This isn’t the place to discuss the family's dirty laundry. Let's talk about it when we get home.” Jay smiled gracefully.
The expression his uncles had on their faces were distorted.
