novelxo Chapter 198
Baby Zetty burst into tears as she threw herself in Mommy's arms and wailed sadly.
"Mommy, my classmates said that I only have a poor mother and no rich father."
Baby Zetty sniffed sadly as she choked with sobs." The teacher said in class that this is called having the same mother but different fathers." "In order to stick up for me, Robbie scolded the group of children who laughed at me while Jenson argued with the teacher because of me."
"It's all my fault, Mommy. Robbie and Jens were scolded because of me. I'm not a good child."
Rose felt as though she was pricked by needles after hearing what she said.
Her biological father was clearly living under the same roof as her, but the sense of alienation he displayed in front of Baby Zetty had broken the child's fragile heart over and over again. As a result, Baby Zetty was deeply affected when other students laughed at her for not having a father. That was why she was crying so sadly. 1
Suddenly, she took Baby Zetty's hand and walked toward Jay's study.
She had made up her mind. Even if it meant that she
would lose everything, as long as her children could grow healthily and happily, she was willing to spend the rest of her life alone.
She wanted to tell Jay that Baby Zetty was his daughter.
Jay stared blankly at the mother and child who barged in while frowning his brows. "How can I help you?"
"Sir Ares, have you ever... Wanted a daughter?" Rose planned to get straight to the point at first but could not resist herself from sounding him out in the end.
Jay stared at Baby Zetty with an intriguing smile.
This was the daughter that Rose had with another man. He was not broad-minded enough to treat her like his own.
"Are you going to give your daughter to me? I'm sorry, I have Robbie and Jenson and they're more than enough," Jay said.
"Zetty is a very good child..."
"Well, she's pretty good in front of you, but not so good in front of me." Jay was speaking the truth. "I don't think I can educate her well."
It was clear that he was rejecting her.
Baby Zetty shook Mommy's arm violently and begged with teary eyes, "Mommy, I don't want Daddy."
Rose looked at the hesitant Jay, then at the resistant
Baby Zetty. Eventually, she sighed helplessly. 1
She held Baby Zetty's hand and left. 1
That night, Baby Zetty kept calling out to Mommy in the middle of the night, so Rose held Baby Zetty in her arms and stayed up all night.
What was she supposed to do?
After this incident, Baby Zetty and Jay's relationship seemed to have gone back to square one.
Baby Zetty made no effort to please Jay anymore because she felt that no matter how hard she tried, Daddy would not like her anyway. Hence, she gave up trying entirely.
Jay, on the other hand, found it hard to grow close to her whenever he was reminded of the fact that Baby Zetty was the child that Rose had with another man.
At breakfast the next day, there was an extremely stifling air hanging over the family.
Baby Zetty drank her soup with her head lowered. Not once did she raise her eyes to spare a glance at Jay.
When Rose saw how Baby Zetty, who used to be wreathed in smiles all the time, had become so taciturn and reserved now, she sighed in her heart. She was feeling somewhat upset at Jay.
Jay turned a blind eye to the sentimental and the hostile stare from both girls.
He had already gotten used to it!
However, the sense of pride that Jay gained from his unperturbed attitude was quickly subdued by Sean who suddenly paid them a visit.
When Rose and Jay were going out, Sean's sports car was seen parked on the asphalt concrete outside the hollow floral brick wall of their house. Sean was clad in a white suit and leaning against the car doo languidly, grinning from ear to ear as he gazed at Rose.
