Rose held Jay's hand and put it on her face.

Josephine's pupils dilated as she looked at Jay with horror in her eyes.

If her big brother could tolerate it this time, she would eat her foot for breakfast.

Jay was not furious. Instead, he gave her his remaining fingers, caressing her beet-red face.

He asked tenderly, "Do you know whose hand this is?"

"I know," Rose mumbled.

"Jaybi."

Josephine let out a scream, "Ah!"

She covered her mouth and gazed at Jay, terrified.

This was Jay's forbidden nickname.

There was a woman who called him that way back then. In the end, her reputation was utterly ruined by her big brother and she took her own life. Rose. Doyle. Was. Doomed.

Still, Jay's cold eyes slowly became warm. A soft smile appeared on his face.

"Rose, come home with me," Jay said affectionately.

Suddenly, Rose was struck with some sort of mania.

She let go of Jay's hand and pulled at her hair in madness as she wailed sorrowfully.

"I have no home!

"I have no home.

"I'm a b*stard. I threw my home away."

Rose slumped to the ground, went on her knees, and proceeded to slap herself. "Grandpa, I was wrong. I was wrong. I shouldn't have loved him. I regret it now." Jay stood there like a statue.

He squatted down, held Rose's hand, and said endearingly, "Rose, from now on, I'll be by your side. I'll protect you and care for you, alright?"

"Who are you?" asked Rose as she looked up.

"Jay Ares."

Her eyes suddenly streaked with red as she howled at him in hysteria, "You're a demon... You're too scary, get out! Get out of my life!"

Her emotions went completely out of control.

Jay stood up slowly, closing his eyes amid his heartbreak.

"Josephine, you stay here and take good care of her."

He walked away as he said that.

Josephine looked at her big brother's silhouette. She had never seen her brother this desolated.

"What's going on?" Josephine scratched the back of her head, feeling as if she missed something. 1

She brought Rose into the house, set her down on the bed, and started to clean the mess which was her room.

"Just how much did she drink?" said Josephine as she began counting the empty bottles strewn across the floor. "One, two, three... Eleven..."

The aftermath of it all was a hangover in the form of a splitting headache after waking up the next day.

Rose opened her eyes and saw Josephine laying beside her, her arms still wrapped around her shoulder.

They faced each other, almost to the point of touching.

"Ah!" Rose screamed.

Josephine woke up, startled. She waved her hand and frantically explained. "Sister-in-law, I didn't do anything to you! You don't have to scream like that." Rose pushed her to the floor. "You stay away from me."

Josephine fell on her butt and looked at her wistfully." I know my brother did you wrong, but you don't have to vent it out on me, do you? I've always pleaded for you!" Rose was still in shock. "Do you know what your b* stard of a brother did to me?" "What did he do?" Josephine felt a bad omen
