Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2013

After the sisters left, Jenson stood quietly by the window. His eyes were fixed on the pool of blood left on the grass. Baby Robbie touched his grumbling tummy and felt rather helpless. Then, he went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

After Baby Robbie was done with the pasta, he stepped out and saw that Jenson had moved to sit on the sofa. There were a few treasures placed on the coffee table that Baby Robbie had stolen from Madam Nephele.

Jenson's peach blossom eyes that were cold since the beginning had turned icier at this moment. "Baby Robbie, Madam Nephele said that she sneaked into our house to look for something that belonged to her. But she didn't manage to find it."

Jenson raised his gaze, and his pupils were filled with radiance as he asked, "Do you know why?"

Although Baby Robbie was intelligent, his cleverness was something he never had an opportunity to display because of Jenson. As such, he had developed a bad habit of being too lazy to rack his brains whenever he was with his brother. He simply blurted out and asked, "No. Why?"

Jenson pushed the package on the coffee table and said, "I've looked through the things that you brought back earlier and found that the fragrant wood log is missing."

Baby Robbie had a flash of realization. "You said that the fragrant wood log is able to summon beasts and poisonous insects, so I wrapped it tightly and hid it elsewhere." Afterward, Baby Robbie turned around and entered the room. Soon, he hurried back in a flurry.

"The thing is gone, Jens."

Jenson said, "So it's just like what I've predicted."

Baby Robbie asked, "What do you have in mind?"

Jenson said, "Someone else sneaked into our rental house before Madam Nephele and took the fragrant wood log. That's the reason she couldn't find it after." Baby Robbie said, "And why would the person do that?"

Jenson muttered, "That's what I'm worried about the most. Since the fragrant wood is able to summon poisonous insects and wild animals, if the person who has taken it doesn't have the right intent in mind and uses it to inflict suffering, then the Ares family will soon be in danger."

After a slight pause, he continued, "There's another reason for it. This person perhaps wanted a conflict to arise between us and Madam Nephele. They wanted to use Madam Nephele to get rid of us. That's where their plan failed."

Baby Robbie appeared deeply worried as he said, "If this person's main purpose of stealing the fragrant wood log is to summon poisonous insects and beasts t o harm others, that implies they already know how to use it..."

Jenson nodded, adding, "The Ares family seem to have a lot of talented individuals in hiding. We'll have to identify this person as soon as possible. Otherwise, there'll be severe repercussions." "This is a troublesome matter. Should we tell Daddy and Mommy about this? That way, Daddy can better protect Mommy," suggested Baby Robbie.

Jenson said, "When Daddy was in charge of the Ares family, he banned all of the illegitimate children from entering Tourmaline Estate, and I know that he was somewhat ashamed of this. It's because he knew that some of the women were truly innocent while few of his brothers and sisters had integrity. So this was unfair to them. But Daddy also knew that some of his uncle's mistresses were restless and would cause an incessant amount of trouble after getting accepted into the family. When I accepted every single one of our illegitimate relatives, Daddy was already on defense mode. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stealthily driven the Yorks family and Boye out of the Ares household."

Baby Robbie exclaimed in admiration, "Daddy truly

has a general-like quality!"

Jenson rolled his eyes at him. "If it weren't for Daddy's wisdom, our family would've ended up in ruins by now."

Baby Robbie was a little emotional when he thought of Zetty. He asked, "So when will Baby Zetty come back?"

Jenson did not reply, but his expression had turned utterly gloomy.

Baby Robbie tried to lift his spirits and was brimming with confidence as he said, "We'll have to quickly solve all of the Ares family's trouble so that we can bring Zetty home."

Jens replied in a desolate manner, "Robbie, Zetty won't be back for a while."

Baby Robbie exclaimed, "Why not?"

Jens said, "Perhaps Daddy didn't hand Zetty over to Boye only to keep her safe. Perhaps he wants Baby Zetty to learn more about medicine. See, Boye's medical skills are extensive and profound. She's only ever accepted Baby Zetty as her disciple. If Baby Zetty can't master Boye's technologies and techniques, I'm afraid she won't be allowed to leave."

Baby Robbie felt like he was abruptly woken up from a dream. Then, he muttered, "How long will that take?"

Jenson said, "It takes about seven years for general medical school students to graduate, and Baby Zetty will be learning even more comprehensive skills than them. The most crucial thing is that Baby Zetty's brain is filled with love, and she's not the studious type. I'm afraid it'll take her even longer..."

Baby Robbie was utterly dumbstruck.

After a good while, Baby Robbie optimistically asked, "I f Baby Zetty is unwilling to learn, Great-grandma won't force her, right?"
