Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 222

"I can't accept it." Rose protested sulkily.

Grand Old Master Ares looked at Rose in a new light. Not only did she not want the two billion, but she also had the audacity to protest.

He leaned forward and spoke in a gentle yet slightly threatening tone, "Then you won't get a single cent, and at the same time, you'll lose custody of your child."

Rose stared at him, her eyes full of hatred. She challenged him in a provocative tone, "Grand Old Master Ares, you can use all sorts of ways to try and rob me of Baby Robbie's custody rights, but you'll never convince me to hand him over to the Ares family."

His gaze turned colder. "I don't need you to be convinced."

"If I'm not willing to hand him over, what's the difference between you and a thief?" Rose replied, her voice full of spite.

Grand Old Master Ares angrily slammed his fist onto the coffee table, causing the teacups to fall and shatter.

Jay heard a loud thud coming from inside the house. He quickly ran inside.

He saw Grand Old Master Ares red-eyed and glaring at Rose. Rose was glaring right back.

"Jay, I order you to get back Baby Robbie's custody rights through the court." He was furious.

Rose fearlessly looked at him and uttered, "Thief."

Jay slapped his forehead. Grand Old Master Ares and Rose were arguing?

"Rose, you should get out for a while." Jay could only hope to separate the two and let their anger subside on their own.

Rose left.

Grand Old Master Ares sat back on the couch exhausted. He said through gritted teeth, "What a fiery girl."

Jay poured some hot tea for Grand Old Master Ares. He passed it over to him and asked, "Grandfather, why are you so hard-pressed on her?"

Grand Old Master Ares squinted his eyes and sized up Jay. "Have you given up on her, or are you just showing her mercy? Why hasn't this issue been resolved yet? This isn't like you!"

Jay sipped his tea and smiled wryly. "It might be both."

Grand Old Master Ares was stunned at his response." Nancy said the reason you broke up with her had something to do with Rose. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems like it might be true. You seem to not hate Rose as much as you used to."

It was more than 'not hate'.

Jay let out a dry laugh. He liked her, he was attached to her, and he was deeply in love with her. 1

He nodded his head.

"You like her now?" That came as a surprise to him.

Jay fell into deep thought. After some time, he replied in a serious tone, "Not just like."

Grand Old Master Ares went into shock for a while.

"Then why didn't you agree when I gave you permission to marry her?"

Jay replied, "That was back then. Things are different now."

"Oh, so you're willing to marry her now?" 1

Jay nodded.

However, Grand Old Master Ares was in strong disagreement. He said in a tone of finality, "Didn't you say after the divorce, she went off and got married to another man and gave birth to Zetty? An impure woman like that shall not be allowed to enter the Ares family." 1

"Grandfather, think about Jens!" Jay's grim voice was filled with a pleading tone.

"Say no more. I will not agree to it." He was firm in his words. "Any son of the Ares family shall not be allowed to fall to the level of marrying a woman who has been divorced twice."
