Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1018

Resentment filled Marilyn's eyes. That b*stard did not even save her a single cent.

How did he expect she and Ben to survive if they did not have any money?

Even so, Jay remained calm and relaxed. In a mild tone, he said, "Next time, remember to report the lost card as soon as you realize it." Marilyn nodded. "Mm."

At this time, Tiger stroked his belly and began to cry out. "Mommy, I'm hungry."

Marilyn was ridden with guilt after losing the card. At the sound of her son's cries, she patted his head irritably and said, "Bear with it."

It was only then did Jay realize that they had not eaten anything yet.

He got up and walked to the kitchen, fighting back the nauseating feeling when he saw the oil and grease on the kitchen stove. He fixed a bowl of soup for them.

Marilyn stared at Jay's charming and dreamy back as he moved back and forth in the kitchen, her eyes filled with infatuation.

Whether in appearance or character, this man was simply the best in the world.

Since God had brought him to her, she found no reason to give up on him!

Two bowls of creamy chicken mushroom soup were prepared in no time at all.

Jay put the soup on the dining table and stroked Tiger's head gently, saying, "Go on, eat."

Tiger escaped his warm hands and sat down next to Mommy.

Jay's hands froze mid-air as a touch of disappointment flashed across his eyes. He was not close with his child and that was probably because he had not showered him with enough love in the past few years. When Marilyn noticed how disappointed Jay looked, she knocked Tiger's head and scolded, "Why'd you run away? Daddy is touching you because that's his way of showing that he likes you."

Jay frowned and yelled, "Don't frighten the child. We'll have plenty of time in the future to bond."

Marilyn nodded with a smile. "Mm."

The creamy chicken soup was not too salty nor too cloying. It tasted as light as tea, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth.

Marilyn was inwardly surprised. Ben could cook surprisingly well that even a woman like her was put t o shame.

While both mother and son were eating, Jay returned to the bedroom and started reading Hacker Empire. The limitless challenges in it seemed to have put him under a spell.

At this very moment, he simply hoped that he owned a computer so that he could conquer Hacker Empire and become all-powerful.

His idea, however, was quickly crushed by reality.

He was now penniless once more.

He needed to make money! Lots and lots of money.

In the evening, Marilyn walked in.

She wore an extremely short slip dress and embraced him from behind.

Jay frowned. "What's wrong?" His tone was lukewarm.

Marilyn said, "Darling, I lost the money, so we can't pay the rent anymore. Why don't we leave this housing estate and rent a cheaper apartment?"

She wanted to move out of Sunshine Court and break free of Ken's control completely.

Jay said, "Rest assured. We've paid a year's rent in advance. Don't worry about the money. I'll find a job tomorrow."

Marilyn had no choice but to give up.

However, she embraced him tighter.

It was as if he was her whole world.

Jay pulled her hands apart and stood up. "I'm going to take a shower."

Marilyn stood on the same spot in a daze.
