Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 972

As they had gone through so much together, the kid started to rely on Finn.

"What about your daddy and mommy?" Jay was curious. What kind of parent would give their children to an outsider that easily? It seemed ridiculous to him.

Jay and Baby Zetty had met twice, yet he had never met her parents before.

He theorized that Baby Zetty's parents lacked in terms of teaching and educating their child. Their love life must be a weird one.

Baby Zetty looked at Jay with sorrow in her eyes.

"Are they divorced?" He drew a daring inference.

Baby Zetty shook her head. "They won't divorce each other. My dad only believes in widowers and widows, no divorcees. My daddy and mommy are very much in love. In the end, my daddy gave everything to mommy, including his life.

Jay suddenly thought of a phrase, 'An overly ardent love does not last for long'.

He was a good man, and he wondered if he received the karma that he should have gotten.

"What about your mommy?"

Had she left her child and remarried?

Baby Zetty had tears in her eyes. "Mommy wanted to go with Daddy, so she slit her wrist. But my uncle saved her. After 49 days, Mommy said she could not keep up with Daddy even in the afterlife, so she would wait for him here."

The tears in Baby Zetty's eyes sparkled. "After Daddy left, Mommy's body has always been weak, so Brother Finn took up the responsibility to teach and guide me."

Jay was so shocked that it took him a while to snap out of it.

It was like the lyrics of Red Spider Lily:

'You are my world,

Without you,

My world would crumble.'

Besides his utter astonishment, Jay found himself green with envy.

Was there so sweet a love in the world that would make anyone jealous?

It was an extraordinary kind of love, to the point that it had thrown all aspects of classism into the trash.

Baby Zetty then dozed off while laying in the chair.

Jay picked her up and set her down on the bed, carefully pulling the covers over her.

He then sat by the window as he gazed at the sedan in the distance.

Finn never left.

There was a gentle sparkle in Jay's eyes.

Baby Zetty had chosen wisely, it seemed.

The next day, the sun hung high in the sky, and Baby Zetty was still sound asleep.

Finn bought breakfast for Jay and Baby Zetty. When he delivered the food to their doorstep, he saw Baby Zetty fast asleep and chuckled. "Both of you must have had a lot to talk about last night." Jay nodded.

Finn paused, then said again, "The kid's a chatterbox."

"That's good." Jay conserved his words.

Finn blurted, "It's hard to earn your praise."

Jay looked at Finn. Although he was not one to be nosy, he simply could not stand aside and watch Baby Zetty's life unfold like that.

Jay questioned Finn, "The kid likes you, do you know that?"

Finn smiled. "We're a generation apart. Mr. Ben, do you think that there's a possibility that we'll be together?"

Jay felt relieved after listening to Finn's rationale.

The fishermen had gathered outside of Jay's place and were shouting. "Ben, come out."

Jay was shocked. He got up and walked outside.

When the fishermen looked at Jay, they distanced themselves like he was a plague-carrying rat.
