novelxo Chapter 195
Rose protested. "Sir Ares, I spent only 2,000 bucks for your hospitalization fee. Why did you give me 200,000 bucks?"
Rose grabbed the phone and was about to return the money to him, but Jay's broad hand pressed onto hers
When his broad hand was placed over her tiny hand, his touch that Rose felt on her skin had her pulling away nervously. Her earlobes flushed crimson at once.
As Jay stared at the bashful Rose, a trace of smile emanated from his eyes.
"It's for your living expenses." He explained.
Rose's eyes widened. "For a year? That's too much, don't you think?"
Jay corrected her. "For a month!"
Rose,
"Are we supposed to eat caviar and oysters all day? Sir Ares, you may not be afraid of having indigestion, but the children will be too full from having too much to eat and end up with digestion problems." Rose looked at Jay with a concerned expression.
Jay's head hurt. Could she not tell that he was trying to lessen her burden in another way? This lass' brain glitch really needed to be scrutinized.
"Whatever." He turned around and left.
Rose, however, was starting to worry. She was thinking about how she was supposed to spend 200,000 bucks on living expenses.
In the afternoon, Jay called out to her from downstairs, "Rose!" He sounded a little impatient!
Rose, who was busy programming, darted out of her room. Her black curly hair was tied up with a pink hair tie, making her look extremely adorable.
"Sir Ares!" She leaned forward on the delicate wooden railing and poked her head out to look at Jay.
Jay's gaze fell on her pink hair tie as he smiled faintly. "It's time to pick up the children."
Rose flashed him a charming smile and pleaded. "I haven't finished my work today, Sir Ares. Can you pick up the kids?"
"No!" Jay turned her down decisively. "Baby Zetty is your daughter. I'm not obliged to pick her up."
Rose had no choice but to rush downstairs. Jay was waiting for her outside the door.
"You're already an adult man, but you're so narrowminded." Rose kicked the colorful pebbles on the ground, muttering under her breath angrily along the way.
Jay ignored her. All he wanted was to take a walk with her so that he could dig out more of Angeline's qualities from her.
Her childish behavior put a smile on his face.
When they arrived at the kindergarten, Rose turned slightly embarrassed as she hid behind Jay. She looked as if she did not want to see the kindergarten teachers. Jay eyed her suspiciously. "You're afraid of the teachers?"
"Am I?" Rose felt immensely guilty.
Baby Robbie and Jenson had gotten into trouble at the kindergarten yesterday and made the teacher upset. Naturally, a student like Rose, who had been good and obedient since a very young age, felt extremely apologetic toward the teacher.
"Could it be that you've always been a slacker at school and that's why you've developed a habit of being afraid of teachers now?" Jay scrutinized her with a meaningful glance.
Rose blurted out, "I wasn't a slacker!"
"Then why?" Jay asked in an overbearing manner. A look of expectation appeared on his handsome face.
Rose looked at him, suddenly remembering that she was now slacker Rose. She said in a wilted manner," Yeah, so what if I was a slacker? I still turned out fine, didn't I? I was constantly scolded by my teachers since I was a kid, so my heart is now capable of withstanding criticism, my skin is thicker than the city walls, and that's why I'm able to live a splendid and vibrant life even under the pressure of capitalists like you."
Jay's handsome face twitched slightly.
