Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 987

Jay ate elegantly, obviously a little unhappy with Zayne questioning him in succession.

His good-looking forehead was slightly wrinkled.

Baby Zetty quickly helped Jay out of this predicament and admonished Zayne fiercely, "Keep quiet during mealtimes, Uncle Zayne."

Zayne hinted at Baby Zetty with his eyes and said, "I can see that Mr. Ben is a talented man. If he's still single, I'd like to be his matchmaker and marry your mommy to him."

The cutleries in Jay's hand nearly slipped to the ground. For some reason, he felt uneasy.

Baby Zetty was eager to see Mommy and Daddy get back together, hence she echoed, "Mr. Ben, my mommy isn't only beautiful, but she's also very gentle and adorable. I'm sure you'll like my mommy very much when you see her."

Having said that, she glanced meaningfully at the room upstairs.

Zayne corrected her immediately. "No, no, no, Baby Zetty. You can't lie to Mr. Ben. Your mommy may be beautiful and adorable, but to say that she's gentle is just... too much. What are we supposed to do if Mr Ben finds out that we lied to him and tries to return her later?"

Baby Zetty glared bitterly at Zayne. "There's no denying that my mommy is indeed a gentle person, Uncle Zayne."

Zayne shook his head vigorously.

Jay answered mildly, "I have a wife and a son."

When Baby Zetty heard what he said, huge teardrops rolled down her cheeks.

Jay reached out to gently wipe her tears with his fingers. He consoled her, saying, "Baby Zetty, there are many ways to hold on to a fated relationship that doesn't involve becoming families who live under the same roof."

Even so, Baby Zetty threw her cutleries away and ran into her room while bawling her eyes out.

Jay glared viciously at Zayne. "Don't joke about things like that next time."

Zayne shrugged like he was wronged. "I wasn't the one who made her cry."

Jay gazed upstairs. Baby Zetty's heart-wrenching cries fell into his ears, and he felt a pang in his heart.

When Zayne noticed how sincerely Jay cared about Baby Zetty, he took the opportunity to ask, "Look, Mr. Ben, Baby Zetty likes you very much. Besides, my sister is an unrivaled beauty herself. Why don't you be a good man and stay back to take care of them?"

Jay understood what Zayne meant by 'stay'.

Unfortunately, he was not someone who would forsake his wife and son.

Zayne's proposal was undoubtedly a humiliation to his noble and unsullied character. As if his entire being was encased in ice, Jay said coldly, "I won't do such a thing."

Zayne put away his unruly and carefree demeanor, becoming strangely solemn. "I know that it's very difficult for you to abandon your family, but why do you think I'd make such an absurd request if not because I was left with no choice?"

Jay was slightly startled. He quietly listened to what Zayne had to say next.

"To be honest with you, my sister has intermittent vision loss. For the past few years, she couldn't even take care of her child."

For some reason, Jay felt as though countless needles were piercing his heart. The pain made him gasp.

"Where's your brother-in-law?" Jay asked.

Zayne stared at Jay in a daze, suspense building up on his face.

The term 'brother-in-law' still existed in Jay's dictionary, it seemed. Yet for so many years, Jay had been acting haughty, grand, and majestic in front of him, making him seem like an insignificant grass in comparison.

Not once did he dare to associate him with the term ' brother-in-law', let alone be arrogant and bossy to his brother-in-law.

Zayne let out a heavy sigh. "Sigh, don't even mention him. My brother-in-law is an arrogant and conceited man. A few years back, he made a bet with someone and lost it, staking his life and wealth on it." Jay frowned slightly, feeling displeased and annoyed a t this man who he had never met before.
