Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1911

"Daddy and Mommy," Baby Zetty called out as she stood up.

Angeline strode over to Baby Zetty and embraced her into her arms. She affectionately said, "You're finally willing to come home, Baby Zetty."

Jay's deep gaze instantly stared at Baby Zetty's face without blinking. The child's smile looked incredibly forced and stiff, and the dismal in her eyes was so intense that it could not be shaken off easily. Her quick-witted self was now merely a dull shell.

Jay recalled Tempest's warning and felt his heart grow tense.

The kid was truly abnormal.

Angeline pulled Baby Zetty to sit down and said while smiling, "Stay here for a couple of days, baby. You can keep Daddy and Mommy company."

Baby Zetty nodded at her stiffly.

At this moment, the quiet Jay interrupted their conversation, "What are your plans for the future, Baby Zetty?"

Baby Zetty's fingers jerked at the thought. It was as if someone had stepped on her sore spot. It took a while for Baby Zetty to calm her agitated emotions. Then,

she replied, "What are you expecting from me, Daddy?"

Jay replied, "Daddy hopes that you'll live as the best version of yourself."

Baby Zetty suddenly widened her beautiful eyes. Daddy's expectation for her was seemingly a boundless and faintly discernible galaxy as she felt that it was beyond her reach. In her mind, she would only be able to exist with Brother Finn in her life.

Jay added, "Everyone is considered an independent individual, and one should be living as themselves, not dependent on their parents, not clinging to the powerful and rich, and not restricted by love... That's the sort of life they call free and easy."

Baby Zetty murmured back, "That's easy for you to say. It's hardly attainable!"

Jay replied, "Nothing in the world is difficult if you set your mind to it."

Baby Zetty glanced at Mommy. As if she had utterly given in to despair, she said, "I'm afraid that even someone as strong as Mommy won't be able to handle this kind of free and easy life, right?" Jay replied to her very firmly, "No. Your mommy's able to do it."

Angeline and Baby Zetty both looked at Jay in astonishment. Then, Angeline discontentedly protested, "Jaybie, I have to be by your side..."

This line, in a moment of desperation, had become the most beautiful terms of endearment. Jay smiled as he gently caressed Angeline's head and said tenderly," Silly. When I disappeared from the Ares family during those misfortunate times, didn't you do rather well? Although you had given in to despair, you stood back up and carried the heavy responsibility of Grand Asia for me."

Angeline had a sudden realization.

Back then, Angeline had lived life thinking it was worse than death. Even days felt like years.

Angeline shook her head in fear and hugged Jay tightly, saying, "I never want to go through such a terrible period again."

Jay was choked with sobs as he said, "I know."

Meanwhile, Baby Zetty was lost in her thoughts.

She was thinking about the meaning of life...

Jay tried to look for a single trace of ember to reignite the spark in Baby Zetty's blank and hollow eyes.

However, there was not any.

Jay persisted and said, "Baby Zetty, there isn't any hurdle in this world that one cannot overcome other than death. Once a person is dead, there'll be nothing left. As long as one lives on, there will be hope." Angeline frowned, feeling that the issues and topics Jay was trying to discuss with Baby Zetty today were getting exceptionally intense.

Angeline had lost interest and was beginning to yawn.

Then, she stood up and said, "You continue chatting with Zetty, Jaybie. I'll go make us breakfast."

"Okay, go ahead. Make it simple so you don't tire yourself," Jay nagged at her considerately. "Alright."

Then, Angeline headed toward the kitchen.

Jay approached Baby Zetty and got right to the point." What is it? Are you sad after seeing Brother Finn and Sis Tammy living together?"
