Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 53

Josephine stormed downstairs with her hand over her bruised forehead. She walked toward Jay and cried pretentiously, "Jay, your son just bullied me and you're not going to do anything about it?"

Jay observed Josephine silently...

"You knew that he doesn't like you touching him," he said stiffly, "yet you continued to provoke him. You brought it upon yourself."

Josephine felt immensely aggrieved. "Well, I thought h e got better. That’s the only reason I came over to offer to look after him. I didn’t know he was going to act out again."

Jay’s handsome face darkened slightly. "Jenson's not sick."

Josephine said in a hushed voice, "You know very well whether he’s sick or not. Jay, may I remind you that the original Jenson was cold and arrogant?

You've seen him with your own eyes that day when you brought him over to our house, he was like a completely different person! Lively, cheerful, gentle, and polite. I originally thought his mother had cured his autism but it seems like the situation has only gotten worse. Jenson jumps from being silent and antisocial to being an enthusiastic chatterbox. I’d even suspect he’s schizophrenic!" 2

A dark shadow spread across Jay's handsome face.

"Jay, get a psychiatrist in Grand Asia Hospital to check Jenson out," Josephine urged him. "You shouldn't delay treatment for your child."

Jay rubbed the space between his eyebrows and fell into deep thought.

‘Josephine's right. Jens has been acting very strangely these past few days.'

Nancy read the atmosphere and rushed to comfort Jay. "Jay, don't worry. It's normal for a child's mood to be unstable. Your sister’s just confused because she's concerned about him.”

Suddenly, Jenson ran down from the second floor. When Josephine saw Jenson, she recoiled like she saw her archenemy. "Jenson, I'll go back home immediately, okay?" she said hurriedly. "I'm afraid of you so you don't have to bother sending me off. Just g o back upstairs!" With that, she bolted out of the house in fear.

"Josephine!" Jenson suddenly called out to her.

Josephine nearly slipped and fell. She looked back at Jenson and snapped, "Call me Aunt Josephine. Show some respect."

Jenson said blandly, "Take me out to play."

Josephine theatrically dug her ears. "Did I hear that right? The mighty grandson asking me to go out and play?" 1

Even though Josephine was an adult, she still had the innocence of a child. Her biggest wish was to take the coolest and most handsome nephew in the entire universe out and show him off to her circle of friends until they exploded from envy.

However, Jenson was a cold child who never got along with her. He mostly refused to take pictures with her and during the rare times that he did, he would only offer the camera lens a cold death- stare. That usually gave people the impression that she was a child trafficker.

As such, it felt like the world had been overturned when Jenson requested her to take him out to play. Josephine could not help but feel that it was too sudden and too good to be true.

Jay stared at Jenson in amazement but his eyes were filled with doubt.

"Jenson, are you sure you want to hang out with your aunt?" Jay asked skeptically.

Jenson nodded.

"Do you promise to not quarrel, fight or hurt your aunt? " Jay pressed.

Jenson's eyed Josephine with a resentful look. "If she doesn't touch me or speak to me, I promise I won't," he said coolly.

Josephine protested, "I'm your aunt, not a puppet. I’m not mute either. I don’t care whether you want to go or

not. It's your choice."

To everyone's surprise, Jenson walked toward Josephine silently.

Josephine's striking eyes widened in shock. "Yo, Jenson, do you have a fever? You want to go out with your aunt despite what I said?”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
