Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 958

After all, they had once loved each other so much.

Baby Zetty suddenly got up from her seat. "Mister, just give me one moment."

Then, Baby Zetty ran downstairs and made Jay a cup of his favorite Earl Grey tea before bringing it upstairs.

"Mister, please have some tea."

Jay was slightly bemused as he smiled. "Thank you."

Jay was still aware of what he was there for. After he had his tea, he sat on the piano bench with both his slender hands on the ivory keys. He said, "I think I'm going to try this Red Spider Lily." Baby Zetty was overjoyed. "That's awesome."

Jay shut his eyes, the familiar melody playing inside his head.

Perhaps it was because of his extraordinary memory that he had the entire piece all memorized in his mind.

Perhaps it was that distant memory that guided his hand, allowing him to flawlessly play through the entire piece.

Baby Zetty gave him a round of applause. "Mister, you played this song too well."

When Jay played Red Spider Lily, the melody was

thick and full, sounding confident and grandiose.

It was also the first time that Baby Zetty heard her daddy play that song. She exclaimed, "So this is how Red Spider Lily should be played?"

Jay smiled. "Everyone has their own interpretation of a song. I think that since it's a love song, it should have the stability and rigidity of a promise."

When he said that, he laughed at himself. "You're still little, so you might not know the true meaning of the song. That's why you couldn't bring out that dutiful and heavy emotion in the song. However, you play very well for your age."

Baby Zetty replied, "I know that. My mommy told me that she wrote this song for Daddy. She confessed to Daddy through this song. Wherever she might be, in the bustle of the city or in the loneliness of the afterlife, she would never stop loving my daddy."

There was a smile in Jay's eyes.

A sentimental feeling emanated from his pupils.

For the first time, he had developed feelings for a woman he had never seen before.

He wanted to see her. He wanted to meet that affectionate woman to whom the world did not matter.

Jay looked around him, yet he could not find a picture of that woman. He felt a little dismayed.

"Your daddy is very lucky to have had your mommy," said Jay.

Baby Zetty put her hand under her chin and said to him with gleaming eyes, "But my mommy said that the best thing that has ever happened to her was being with my daddy."

A yearning bubbled from within Jay.

Everyone in the world would want love as pure as that.

He suddenly remembered his wife Marilyn and thought of how they looked very much like a couple, but deep down, they were set apart from each other. He felt embarrassed and ashamed of himself. He was not fit to be a husband.

Marilyn told him that ever since the accident, he would stay away from her. Sometimes he would even feel disgusted when she touched him.

He knew that it was wrong. Many a time he wanted to curb and correct that bad habit of his, but each time Marilyn got close to him, he would feel an uncontrollable sense of repulsion toward her. After a long time, their relationship became bland.

A selfish, irresponsible man like him was naturally unfit for a woman like Baby Zetty's mommy.

He realized that his thoughts went off course and shuddered. How could those profane thoughts about Baby Zetty's mommy ever cross his mind like that?

As Jay and Baby Zetty were chatting, he received a text message from Tommy the fisherman, 'Ben, you should come over quick. The fishermen on site are in trouble.'

"Baby Zetty, we shall stop here for today," said Jay as he got up from his seat.
