Chapter 451
"Have you had dinner?" he asked lightly.
Rose shook her head. In fact, she was so hungry that her chest was stuck to her back. She had
deliberatelye back early so that she could have dinner with him tonight.
She did not expect to witness a heartbreaking scene instead.
"I''m going to make dinner." Rose jumped off the bed and ran away.
Staying with him for even an extra second hurt her heart so much that she could not breathe.
One corner of the quilt had carelessly fallen to the ground. Jay leaned over and pulled it up. Heid
out the quilt for her and when he was arranging the pillows, he inadvertently touched the part of the
pillow that was wet with tears.
Jay froze for a long time.
Had this silly girl cried?
The ice in his cold heart suddenly broke and was instead filled with a deep sense of self-me.
His method of testing her was a bit too cruel.

Jay hurriedly went downstairs and stood outside the kitchen. His eyes were locked on Rose''s
beautiful face,
which was bleakly illuminated by the milky white light.
It also reflected the redness of her crying eyes.
Jay felt a pang of pain in his heart.
After walking over to her, he hugged her from behind and ced his chin on her forehead while
rubbing gently.
"Did you cry?"
Rose trembled slightly, feeling very embarrassed.
"This won’t happen again in the future," Jay said.
Rose said angrily, "If Sir Ares likes other women, just g o on a date with them but don''t bring them
home."
Jay smiled. "Are you jealous?"
"I’m only responsible for my own health. Don''t you know that multi-yer sports are bad for the
body and mind?"
Jay turned her to him and looked at her teary eyes. " She’s a counselor! I just asked her to help me
resolve m y doubts!"
Rose''s eyes widened. Sir Ares, this respected warrior whose heart could be said to have an
imprable defense, needed a counselor to mediate the perplexities of his heart?
Who was he trying to trick?
Would counselors who solve psychological problems have candlelight dinners with their patients?
Jay saw the obvious distrust in her eyes and said in frustration, "I''m also a human being. I also have
my pleasures, anger, sorrows, and joy."
Rose''s mind was filled with candlelight dinners and flowers. "If Sir Ares is happy, then that’s good."
He looked helplessly at the angry little woman. Knowing that she was also a tough nut to crack, he
simply adopted circr tactics and changed the subject. "Why''d youe back so early today?"
Did banquets not usually end quitete?
Her mind had made a U-turn and was still on the previous plot. "Sir Ares seems to dislike me
coming back so early, so I won''t being back tomorrow. That way, I won''t disturb your happy
ns!"
Jay was furious that he scolded her with a dark expression, "Rose, can''t you speak your words
properly?"
Angered, she pushed him away. "Sir Ares, we were originally two people of differing statuses. As
husband and wife, I have to observe your moods carefully and grovel to ask for your permission
every time I go out. And you?
"You can invite some woman back on your own and have a candlelight dinner with her? And yet,
your real wife can''t ask you why you did this kind of disrespectful thing?
"Even if our wedding was spurred by false feelings, it-H
Rose could not go on. She seemed to have broken out o f her disappointed stupor and realized that
this marriage had been a fake marriage from the start.
What right did she have to demand things from him?
He did not love her in the first ce. She was jealous, but what could she change even if she was
unwilling t o take it lying down? 2
"Sorry, Sir Ares. I was impulsive." She suddenly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.
Jay hugged her tightly in his arms and was truly regretful at this moment.
"It''s my fault."
The three words were underwhelming but hid endless regrets.
If he knew that dining with another woman would make her so broken, he would rather be troubled
on his own than to test her in such a careless manner.
