Chapter 223


    In Grand Old Master Ares'' heart, Jay was his greatest pride and joy. He had brought him up to be


    the perfect heir. He would not allow that scious girl, Rose, to be the only stain in his son’s


    reputation.


    "Letting her stay here isn''t a good idea. Two single people like you two staying in the same room


    together might give the wrong impression to some people," Grand Old Master Ares said looking at


    Jay, his voice cold and strict.


    "Grandfather, Jens needs a mother, and Baby Robbie needs her more. She has to stay here. I need


    her too."


    Jay had always been a man of strong opinions.


    Grand Old Master Ares looked into Jay''s eyes and saw the faint glint of resolution that had not been


    there before. He knew Jay too well. Once he made up his mind about something, he would be


    persistent and obsessed with carrying it out.


    He would persevere with his decision, no matter the cost.


    "The illegitimate daughter of the Loyle family who has been divorced twice. Why does it have to be


    her?" Grand Old Master Ares asked in exasperation. He was deeply disappointed with Jay.


    Jay looked to the skies while searching for an answer and said, "She’s the only one who can


    manage my


    emotions."


    It was then that Grand Old Master Ares realized that Rose was the only person who could bully his


    beloved grandson without having any consequences inflicted upon her.


    He went into deep thought before helplessly sighing and saying, "Go and get her toe inside."


    There was no hatred or anger in his voice. He was like a defeated lion who could only ept reality


    in dismay.


    Jay got up from the couch and went toward the back garden.


    Rose was restlessly waiting for Grand Old Master Ares'' ''verdict''. Josephine was by her side trying to


    comfort her. "Sister-inw, don''t be worried. My grandfather only acts tough, but he''s soft on the


    inside. You’re not even afraid of my brother, so why would you be afraid of my grandfather?”


    "Who said I''m not afraid of your brother? Don''t you see how much I try to tter him?"


    Jay was standing behind Rose. His face turned dark the moment he heard what she said.


    "You''re afraid of me?" A sudden whisper came from behind Rose. She immediately turned around in


    shock.


    Seeing Jay''s fierce scowl, Rose promptly tried to put o n her brightest smile.


    "Sir Ares, I''m not afraid of you. I respect you," Rose


    said guiltily.


    Josephine was amazed. Her sister-inw really had a knack for adapting to situations.


    Jay let out a sarcastic cough, obviously unconvinced b y Rose’s words.


    That was when Rose’s nerves started to heighten.


    She was caught saying bad things about him behind his back! There was no way she was going to


    get out of this one.


    Unexpectedly, Jay''s expression softened. "Come inside with me."


    Rose followed, her head facing down.


    Josephine wanted to join in and tiptoed behind Rose. However, just as they were about to enter the


    house, she was shut out by Jay. Her nose was hit by the door.


    "Brother, my nose. I think it might be bent already," Josephine said in agony while clutching her


    nose.


    After a few seconds, Jay opened the door.


    "If you don’t like the genes our family has, look closely when you’re reincarnated in your next life.


    Don''t choose our family.”


    Josephine’s parents fired looks of disapproval at her.


    "It just touched my nose," she said, ashamed.


    Just as she was about to make her way through the door, Jay shut her out again.
