Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 369

That night, Jay did not come home.

After Rose had put the children to sleep, she returned to the room that Jay had prepared for her. Although she laid in bed, she could not find herself falling asleep. She pitied herself and worried about Josephine.

In the middle of the night, her room door swung open without warning. Consequently, Rose was startled.

When she turned on the lights, she saw Jenson standing at the door, staring blankly at her. "Mommy, may I sleep with you?"

Rose smiled at Jenson and reached out her hand." Come over."

Jenson closed the door behind him and laid next to Rose.

Rose looked up at the clock on the wall to check the time. 'It's midnight, but Jenson is still awake?'

She caressed Jenson's little ears as she asked gently," Share with me what is bothering you from sleeping?"

Jenson shifted his body on the bed and laid sideways to look at Rose.

Within his eyes, she could see a mixture of doubt, fear, and uneasiness.

Rose fiddled with his earlobe as she had heard that massaging a child's earlobe could help relieve a child's anxiety from having a frightful sleep. She wondered if it would help Jenson.

Rose was merely trying anything she could think of without knowing the cause of Jenson's restlessness.

"Jens, if you have any troubles, you can always share them with me, okay?" Her instincts told her that Jens was troubled. However, like his father, he always kept his feelings and thoughts to himself.

Rose wanted to counsel him and encourage him to pour out his feelings. Thus, she patiently coaxed," Jens, mommy loves you. If you have anything troubling you, you can tell me because I'm the person who loves you most in this world."

Jenson suddenly mumbled, "Mommy, I'm scared!"

Rose was taken aback...

On usual days, Jens portrayed himself as a brave boy that had a smart mind. His image was akin to a matured man that was trapped in a young boy's body.

She had not expected such weakness to be hiding behind his quiet facade.

"Tell me what you are afraid of."

Jenson curled up like a prawn and leaned into Rose's embrace.

As for Rose, she patted his back, patiently waiting for him to continue his story...

"A crazy woman is hiding behind Tourmaline Estate. She hides under daddy's bed..." Jenson said in between his sleepiness.

It was as if Rose's spirit was trapped and had been thrown into a bottomless abyss.

Due to what her father had said earlier and what Jenson was saying now, her mind was in a mess. It was as if thousands of bees were buzzing in her head. Perhaps Jenson felt safe in her arms because he fell asleep not long after.

On the other hand, Rose sat up with a severe migraine, and she cuddled her head with her arms.

She felt as if her body was not hers as her body and soul kept fighting with each other in an attempt to tear her apart.

It would be apt to say that her body was trying to escape while her soul was trying to grab on.

Undeniably, it was akin to her having fallen into hell and was now experiencing indescribable pain.

Her breathing became ragged as she kept consoling herself, "Rose Doyle, stay calm. Do not be seduced by his outer appearance.

"Give up on him, leave him. You must learn to love yourself and live for yourself!" 1

On the eastern horizon, the sun began to rise.

After a night of struggling, Rose laid in bed like a corpse. Nonetheless, she felt that she had survived the night.

Downstairs, the sound of a Rolls Royce engine was heard.

Jenson happily shook his mommy's arm. "Mommy, daddy's home."

Rose shot a smile at Jenson with the thick dark circles around her eyes. "Go on."

Downstairs, Jay had parked his Rolls Royce and was charmingly standing at the front door.

When he looked up at the balcony on the second floor, he saw three heads poking out at the same time.

"Daddy!"

"Daddy!"

"Uncle!"

Jenson and Baby Robbie had called him daddy!
