Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1026

After Grayson left, Marilyn started grumbling endlessly, "I know you're a man of high morals and that's why you refuse to accept alms from others, but can't you see what kind of life we're living? We don't have a single penny, and all the vegetables we ate today were the leftovers from the farmer's market. How are we supposed to live a life like this?"

There was a hint of anger in Jay's eyes. "And you served our guest with vegetables like that?"

His icy tone sent Marilyn shuddering with fear. She then cried and said, "No housewife can cook a meal without food and vegetables. What do you suppose I d o?"

Jay roared. "Bread alone is enough to fill someone's stomach."

Having said that, he turned around and left abruptly.

He shut himself in the bedroom and inadvertently swept his gaze across the Hacker Empire books on the bedside table.

A singsong voice rang out in his mind. 'Mr. Ben, these are my mommy's favorite books!'

They were strangers who had never met, yet even so, she was able to so generously give him her favorite

books. A woman who lived outside of the illusory and fantasy of fame like that was one he truly admired.

He pulled out one of the Hacker Empire books and started flipping through it slowly.

In the living room, Marilyn sat on the couch in a daze.

Ben had rarely lost his temper at her. She was surprised to learn how terrifying he looked when he lost his temper. Even if he did not have an argument with her, those stern eyes alone were enough to frighten her out of her wits.

Marilyn wanted to say something to him at first, but she swallowed her words back in after seeing the look in his eyes.

Clenching both hands together, she felt a lingering fear in her heart when she thought of the incident this morning.

This morning, she had just returned home with Tiger.

When she was about to close the door, a figure suddenly came in from the side. When Marilyn took a closer look at that person, her entire being was crushed by despair.

"Why are you here again?" she asked in a shuddering voice.

As soon as Ken walked in, he started hugging her unscrupulously. "I can't take it anymore, Marilyn. I want to make out with you."

Marilyn grumbled impatiently, "I just gave you money, didn't I? Take the money and go live your life. What are you doing pestering me all day?"

The man was vexed by her indifference. "What do you mean by that? You're not happy to see me? Do you think you can get rid of me with that bit of money? Listen up, Marilyn Auberge, you're mine. Had I not killed the man who tried to rape you back then just to protect you, I wouldn't be jailed either and wouldn't have trouble looking for a job now. Since you've ruined my life, you'll have to make it up to me."

He patted Marilyn's face and uttered ferociously, "I will toy with you however I want. Once I'm done toying with you, you will still have to keep on supplying me with money to spend."

After saying those words, he dragged Marilyn into the room.

Marilyn struggled. "Not that room. He has mysophobia. If he finds out about our affair, then you might as well forget about getting any more money."

The man was very much puzzled. "What the heck is mysophobia? It's not like he's a rich young master or anything. Why are there so many problems with him?"

Though that was what he said, the man dragged Marilyn into the bathroom. After his desires were met, the man told her with great satisfaction, "Remember, Marilyn Auberge, you're my wife. It's your obligation to do this with me..."

Marilyn buttoned her shirt in a hurry and hissed. "If

we're done, then you should probably go."

The man harrumphed coldly. He stroked Marilyn's face and said, "I'll be back tomorrow."

When the man left, Marilyn started panicking. She needed to get rid of Ken.

Just as Jay was lost in the sea of books, Marilyn suddenly opened the door gently and walked in.

Without raising his eyelids, Jay asked indifferently," Yes?"

Marilyn walked up to him and said in a timid voice, "When I was downstairs just now, your colleague said that the company is going to allocate a house for you. Shall we move, darling?"

Jay frowned. "The company's president isn't easy to deal with. We'll have lesser trouble if we stay further away from her."

Marilyn bit her lip and pleaded piteously. "Let's move, darling. When I go to the farmer's market these days, the rich people there would stare at me with judgmental eyes. I can't stand it anymore..." Jay let out an imperceptible sigh. "Okay then."
