Chapter 199


    Rose looked at Sean in astonishment. "What''s he doing here?"


    Jay lookedpletely speechless. He turned his head and interrogated Rose in a cold voice,


    "Weren''t you the one who invited him?"


    Rose shook her head. "Not me."


    The frost in Jay’s eyes dissipated slightly. His long and slender legs strode forward as he marched


    out of the hollow iron gate between the floral brick walls in a n awe-inspiring manner.


    When Sean saw Jay, he stood up straight and gazed at Jay with a charming smile.


    "Sean, are you trying to be my gate pier stone? Why are you standing in front of my gate early in


    the morning?" Jay’s enchanting peach-blossom eyes were stained with a faint smile.


    Sean''s dazzling smile vanished without a trace. "Mr. Ares, you''re not the reason why I''m here at the


    Ares’ residence today. I''m here for the beautiful Ms. Loyle."


    Having said that, he darted a seductive nce at Rose who was following closely behind.


    Rose was so embarrassed that she was anxious to dig a hole in the ground for herself.


    Jay turned around and gazed fixedly at Rose,


    observing the way she was handling things with relish.


    Rose asked curiously, "How can I help you?"


    Sean''s cheerful and charming face exuded a tinge of bashfulness. He touched his nose shyly and


    said in a slightly embarrassed manner, "When I saw you that day, Ms. Loyle, your beauty had me


    falling in love at first sight. And your fists, they’ve subdued mepletely. There are very few


    beauties like you, Ms. Loyle, who aren''t taken by fame and wealth. That''s why I’ve decided to


    pursue you."


    Jay raised his charming eyebrows...


    In his heart, he wondered if Rose was really as good as what Sean described her to be.


    Why did he not notice Rose''s strong points when he firstid eyes on her?


    Rose declined tactfully. "I''m very sorry, Mr. Bell, but you''re not my type."


    A look of defeat appeared on Sean''s face. "What''s your type then, Ms. Loyle?"


    Rose dropped her head. The man she liked was standing right in front of her eyes, but she was


    afraid t o admit it because he despised her greatly.


    Jay eyed Rose mischievously. "Why aren''t you answering?"


    Rose raised her head abruptly to look at Jay, an intense resentment in her eyes.


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    Everything was clear to Sean. "I see. Mr. Ares is the man that you like, Ms. Loyle? Looks like I''ve


    overestimated myself."


    There were gentle ripples in Jay''s heart, but he did not notice that Rose liked him.


    Rose was panic-stricken and denied repeatedly. "No, he’s not."


    When she noticed the inquiring look on Jay’s face, Rose panicked. He must never find out her


    secret.


    In order to show that she did not have a crush on him, Rose was eager to swear on her life. "I will


    never fall in love with Sir Ares. Not this life, not the next life, and certainly not the one after that."


    After saying that, she thought that her rejection seemed a little too obvious and that she had


    protested her innocence too much. As such, she added in a hurry, "A good horse doesn''t return to


    old pasture, a rabbit doesn''t eat the grass by its own burrow."


    Jay’s good-looking face darkened at once. He snarled through gritted teeth. "Rose, so you''re saying


    that I''m a n old pasture? Or am I the grass by the burrow?"


    Rose put on a cating smile. "It''s just a metaphor, Sir Ares."


    Jay’s expression copsed and he left after snorting coldly.


    Sean stared at Rose andughed so hard that he could not even straighten up his body. "Haha,


    weren''t you really smug in front of me, Ms. Loyle? Turns out you''re just a wuss in front of Mr. Ares."


    Rose kicked him and snapped. "You''re the bearer of bad luck. Nothing good everes out of


    meeting you. Okay, spill it, why exactly are you looking for me?"


    Sean pressed his lips. He had made it very clear just now, though. He was here to pursue her.


    How could she not believe him?


    "Oh dear, this is a long story. Shall we take this to a cafe, Ms. Loyle?" Sean said.


    Rose turned around and looked at the three little munchkins standing at the door of the vi. "Make


    it short. I need to send my children to school."


    Sean said in a solicitous manner, "I''ll send them off with you and we’ll find a ce to have a good


    chat after. Weren''t you dying to know who drugged mest time?"
