Chapter 387


    Jay carried Rose back to the Fragrant Vessel Court where the family doctor quickly arrived with his


    medicinal case.


    After a quick check-up, he concluded, "Miss Rose has what''s called nutritional-deficiency anemia.”


    Jay frowned as he stared at the check-up report filled densely with arrows.


    After the doctor left, Jay sat nkly by the bed.


    His heart clenched as his eyes traced over Rose’s hollowed cheeks.


    What life had she been living for the past seven years?


    Under her care, their children had grown healthily while she herself was a mess.


    Perhaps it was time for him to take extraordinary measures.


    After having awoken, Rose was met with the sight of Jay’s thoroughly striking features staring back


    at herself depressingly.


    Having gotten used to his dignified expression, Rose could not help the itching feeling that


    something was wrong.


    Fearfully, she grabbed Jay’s hand. "Sir Ares, am I going to die?"


    Amusement shed in his eyes.


    "Anyst words?” he asked calmly.


    "After... I die, could you... Remain a widower?" her doelike eyes blinked at him as she murmured


    embarrassedly.


    "Nope."


    "Then, if you''re going to find a stepmom for Jens and the rest, could you find a woman as soft as


    me? The kind of woman who can’t win Robbie in a fight, can''t win Jens in an argument, nor win


    Zetty in terms of causing trouble for no reason. That way, I''ll be at peace even after I die.”


    The corners of Jay''s lips twitched actively.


    "You''re worried about the kids?"


    Rose’s eyes reddened. "Yeah.”


    "Then take care of yourself and live. Or else, I can’t promise what kind of woman I’ll find to torture


    your children."


    Aghast, Rose jumped up. "Do you have to be so cruel, Sir Ares? They''re your children too."


    At that, Rose was immediately ecstatic as she realized that she had no problems moving. "I''m


    alright?"


    Jay stared at the cutedy in front of him. He could not help but chuckle at how she thought of her


    kids before her ''impending death''.


    Pulling her onto him, he cupped her face and kissed her.


    Realizing where they were headed, Rose immediately blushed and protested. "But Sir Ares, I''m still


    sick."


    Jay teased shamelessly by her ears. "I''ll be very gentle!"


    Rosey on the bed after a round, exhausted. She was i n no position to resist at all!


    "Let''s get married, baby."


    That moment, Rose heard the stubborn persistence in Jay''s baritone voice.


    Rose tensed, feeling as if something in her heart had cracked and shattered to pieces.


    This “baby’ Jay used reignited every spark of love and hate she had umted for him from both


    her lives.


    She remembered how he used to call her that in her past life whenever he was drunk.


    She remembered the thick desire in his eyes, yet he always rejected her despite how she provoked


    him.


    How euphoric she felt, thinking it was out of respect.


    However, she knew now that he disdained her.


    Today, he called her "baby'' again.


    Men were indeed animals who thought with the organ between their legs. He would call Rose


    ''baby'', just like how he called Angeline ''baby''. It seemed that as long a s they fulfilled his desires, he


    could call anyone that!


    He was a yboy. How had she not seen through him her past life?


    Forcing the tears back where they came from, Rose regained herposure. "Do you mean it, Sir


    Ares?”


    Pressing her hand against his heart, his tone dripped surprisingly with hurt. "I''ll use my whole life to


    answer that question."Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    By her side, he fell soundlessly asleep.
