Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 337

"Why?”

"Why what?”

"Didn't you say you'd never abandon the kids again?” Jay stared intently at her.

Rose averted her gaze, not daring to lock eyes with him.

"Look at me.” Jay’s tone commanded obedience.

Rose had no other choice but to follow.

"I can look past any mistakes you make, but don't you dare abandon your children.” Jay shut his eyes, suppressing as much of his emotions as possible.

Rose blurted out, "I won't abandon them." She said it with conviction.

Jay’s eyes shot open to reveal a fiery gaze. His sharp eyes darted across Rose's serious expression.

"But you've already abandoned them, though?" he said coldly.

Rose's lips twitched to counter, though she remained silent in the end.

In her mind surfaced memories of Zayne. He was ever so vain yet shed his expensive status to start his business. She recalled the loneliness in her mother's eyes and the helpless despair in her father’s eyes as

her stepmother mocked him. This was the same man who had once shaken Swallow City with his greatness. Finally, she recalled her grandfather who loved her the most, lying in a cheap hospital since they had no money for better treatment...

This was all her fault.

She had no right to live for herself.

She would have the Severe family rise again at all costs!

She had no other choice but to devote herself to the business world, to mingle with members from all sorts of renowned families, if she wanted to succeed in such a difficult mission.

It was only with him that she would not worry about her children.

By the time she regained her honor, she would then fight him fair and square in court over the custody of her kids.

"Why aren't you talking?"

Jay stared at her. It was obvious that she had much going on in her head judging from how her eyes kept shifting.

Rose stared back with a subtle glint in her eyes." There'll come a day, Sir Ares, when I take back my children.”

A sneer lingered at the corners of Jay's eyes. "Are you provoking me?"
