Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1954

Jay closed his eyes in despair. Why did Angeline pick Baby Robbie out of all the children?

When Baby Robbie was about to speak, Jenson gave Baby Zetty a wink and she immediately helped Daddy out by answering Mommy loudly. "Mommy, Daddy gives us 8,000 per month."

Angeline glanced at Jay deeply, and Jay could only shoot her a smile.

Angeline was reluctant to explode in anger in front of the children so she told them to get inside the house while hiding her true feelings.

Jay lost his elegance for the first time and wanted to toss Angeline aside so that he could turn around and leave.

However, Angeline's little hand grabbed onto him frustratedly, and Jay could not help but wait for all the children to enter before he and Angeline walked behind them.

Angeline nagged, "Why are you so stingy with the children's allowances?"

Jay feigned innocent and said, "Is 8,000 very little? Back in the day, my allowance was only a couple hundred bucks."

Angeline could not tell whether she wanted to laugh or cry. "Don't play dumb with me. Back when I was still studying, you gave me even more than that for my living expenses every month."

Jay grabbed Angeline's shoulders and said, "You're different from them, Angeline. I'll rest easier if you have more money on you."

Angeline fumingly retorted, "That's gibberish."

Jay said, "The children have been in the military intelligence division for many years. Even though they've learned plenty from there, they're completely ignorant of worldly affairs. They're all so naive and innocent, so I'm merely afraid they'll reveal their wealth and be used by those unrighteous boys. You know very well that the Ares girls are all passionate about their feelings. So if they fall for some bad boys, you'll be heartbroken for them."

Angeline pouted her lips, saying, "But the school that our children go to is an aristocratic school attended by children of Imperial Capital's noble families. If the other children can live such extravagant lives, wouldn't ours feel inferior to them?"

Jay replied, "I'll guide them well."

Angeline had no choice but to give it up.

As soon as Jay breathed a sigh of relief, Angeline suddenly thought of something and asked again," How about our Baby Zetty?"

Jay said, "Don't worry, I don't give Baby Zetty preferential treatment, nor would I treat the other children any differently. They're all our daughters, so they're treated equally."

Angeline smiled and said, "You sure are attentive, Jaybie."

Jay replied, "As I should. They're all my wife's darling babies, so I have to support her all the way."

Angeline smiled in relief.

"What about Jenson and Robbie?" Angeline asked unexpectedly.

Jay almost went limp.

He thought that his one act of indiscrimination would help him achieve his aim by underhanded means.

Angeline halted her footsteps and earnestly looked at Jay, waiting for his response.

"Jens and Robbie are boys, and you know how boys are; they're more shameless. So it doesn't matter if they suffer through life a little," Jay said with a guilty conscience.

Angeline continued to pursue answers relentlessly. "I'd like to know how much their living expenses are."

Jay gave it a thought for quite some time. If he let Angeline find out that Jenson and Baby Robbie's allowances were about ordinary people's standards, she would probably feel utterly distressed for them. He simply quoted their living expenses for a whole semester and said, "I believe theirs is about 4,000."

Angeline merely thought that this figure was their monthly allowance and complained, "You're so harsh toward Jens and Baby Robbie."

However, Angeline quickly felt more relieved and said, "But it's alright. Some boys become unruly when they have money, so it's fine to control their budgets."

The children hiding behind the door panel were eavesdropping on their parents, and the girls were all moved to tears.

Meanwhile, Jenson and Baby Robbie looked at them rather bitterly while scoffing. "Stop crying. We're the ones who should be bawling our eyes out."
