Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 74

Josephine screamed out of shock. "This is an actual person?"

She took a good look. 'Who is this if it isn't Jenson?'

Josephine thought that she was experiencing some supernatural phenomenon. She remembered that' Jenson' was at City South’s Horizon Colors last night, n o?

"Jenson, why are you here?" Josephine was flabbergasted when she asked him.

Jenson lifelessly said, "It's a long story," he replied with four words.

This arrogant boy who wished he could speak less made Josephine at the brink of collapsing once again. "It can't be. Why are you back to this annoying and arrogant attitude?"

Jenson could not be bothered about her.

Rose said, "Ms. Ares, if you have any questions, save them for when we get to my house."

Josephine nodded sullenly.

Rose moved to a new house at Exuberant City Apartment situated in City South, just a few streets away from Grand Asia.

A small two-bedroom apartment may not look

spacious, but this one was clean and bright. Most importantly, the window had a magnificent view of Horizon Colors.

Josephine stood by the windowsill overlooking Horizon Colors and sighed. "The most dangerous place can also be the safest. Sister-in-law, you've made such an intelligent move."

Rose served her a cup of water and explained, "I moved here for Jenson’s sake. I thought that perhaps with me closer to Horizon Colors, it can give him a better sense of security."

Josephine glanced at the two children obediently sitting on a stool in the living room. Jenson was as dignified as a prince while the little girl was cute and cuddly like a little elf.

"Sister-in-law, I'm very confused. I have so many questions, but I don't know where to start." Josephine scratched her head, feeling rather frustrated.

Rose gracefully said, "It's okay. We have plenty of time. Just slowly ask away whatever you want to know. I'll be truthful."

Josephine was shocked.

She heard her brother once mention that Rose Coyle was a pathological liar. That was the reason why her brother was conflicted about letting Rose near Jenson.

"You won't lie to me?" Josephine cautiously asked.

Rose understood that her trustworthiness seen in the eyes of the Ares family was probably close to none. She said, "Ms. Ares, you can listen to my side of the story first. With your level of intelligence, it’ll be easy for you to decide if my words are true or false." Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Josephine eagerly asked the question that had been bothering her. "Why is Jenson here? Sister-in- law, he should be with my big brother now."

"Yes, technically, he should be with your brother. However, your brother made a grave mistake. Jenson does not have autism, nor does he have schizophrenia, but Jay was adamant about getting him treated. Isn't it a joke? That’s why I kept Jenson with me." Rose calmly explained.

Josephine became emotional. "Sister-in-law, this isn't fair to my brother. You may have delivered the child, but do you know the price my brother has paid to raise Jenson? To take care of Jenson's emotional health, he dismissed all the nannies and drivers and n o longer dares to go on dates. He's taken on the responsibility of being both a father and mother to Jenson. The moment you came back, you snatched his precious son away from him. Have you considered his feelings?"

Rose replied, "I'm not that cruel. I'm also a mother. I can understand the pain of separating with your loved one very well. Don't worry, I won’t do such a thing." 1

Rose's eyes turned red and teary as she thought about Baby Robbie whom she had sent to Jay.

Josephine looked at Jenson and angrily spat. "But the truth is in front of me. Jenson is with you.”
