Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1935

The children sat around the coffee table. Angeline was eager to wash the fruits for the children when Jay held her and pressed her down on the couch. He said in a considerate manner, "You should stay seated. I'll wash them."

Angeline sat down next to Baby Zetty, her warm and loving gaze shifting from one child to another as she examined them closely. Eventually, her eyes fell on Baby Zetty's full and chubby face.

Baby Zetty's gaze flickered, and she did not know where to look. She was so nervous that she started rubbing her hands together.

Angeline noticed how self-abased Baby Zetty was and felt as though her heart had been pierced by a knife.

She took Baby Zetty's hand and clasped it firmly in hers, saying in a tender tone, "Baby Zetty, your father and I know that you tried to jump off a building. Just because we didn't talk about it doesn't mean we don't care about you. We don't want to give you more burden than you already have."

Baby Zetty burst into tears and said, "I know you and Daddy love me, Mommy."

Angeline said emotionally, "But you have no idea how

much we love you. Every child is their parents' treasure. We'll be happy as long as you're healthy and a s long as things are going smoothly for you. We'll be in a constant state of anxiety if you're facing adversity. You may think that I'm exaggerating, but when you become a mother yourself, you will know just how worried you, as a parent, will be when you can't see your children."

Baby Zetty's tears trickled down her cheeks. "I'm sorry, Mommy."

Angeline took her into her arms with tears flickering in her eyes, saying, "Now that we have finally raised you up, we don't ask for anything in return. We only want you to be happy. How could you not cherish your life?

"I don't care about your past, Baby Zetty. I just hope that you can get through all adversities with an optimistic and cheerful attitude in the future," Angeline said solemnly.

Baby Zetty nodded. "Okay."

When Jay saw Angeline and Baby Zetty crying in each other's embrace, he glared at his sons furiously while holding the fruit platter.

Jenson and Baby Bobbie received the hint immediately. Was Daddy blaming them for not livening up the mood?

Jay placed the fruit platter on the coffee table and drew out a piece of tissue to wipe Angeline's tears. He consoled her tenderly, saying, "Don't cry, Angeline. It's not good for you to cry."

Worried about the child in her belly, Angeline forced herself to divert her attention and said to her children, "These fruits are highly nutritious. Eat more while they're still fresh. Bring some to the other sisters afterward."

The children were astounded when they looked at the different varieties of fruits. Daddy and Mommy had never lived such an exquisite and luxurious life before.

Jenson showed due respect for Angeline's feelings and picked up a piece of fruit with the fork, stuffing it in his mouth.

"Argh!" The fruit was so sour that Jenson's dashing face began to contort.

He wanted to spit it out, but under his father's sharp gaze, he had no choice but to endure it and swallow it.

"It's so sour." Jenson picked up the cup of tea next to him and began to rinse his mouth.

Baby Robbie looked at Jenson's exaggerated expression and asked, "How sour can it be?"

He then picked up a yellow cherry with a fork and began eating. As soon as he started chewing, his face scrunched up from the sourness of the fruit's juices. He wanted to spit it out but Jenson covered his mouth and ordered him, "Swallow it."

After swallowing the entire cherry, Baby Robbie was already in tears from the sourness.

Baby Zetty looked at her brothers with great surprise and then stared at Daddy and Mommy. She was ruminating about their purpose for bringing them these sour fruits.

Jay brought the fruit platter over to Angeline, saying," The kids don't want them. You should just eat them all."

Angeline asked curiously, "Are they really that sour? I think they're really delicious, though?" She then began eating with gusto.

Jenson and Baby Robbie were horrified when they saw Angeline chomping down those sour fruits without a single frown.
