Jay loosened his grip on Rose's chin. He walked into the house as though it was his own house and sat down on the couch.

Rose was confused. 'Why is this guy here?'

"Jens is hungry," Jay said while looking at her.

Rose was at a loss for a reply.

"Why don't you cook for him then?" She eventually retorted.

He knew how to cook anyway.

"He's used to eating your cooking, and he doesn't like anything I cook," he said.

Jens was speechless.

'Are you using me as an excuse now? I love to eat anything, as long as it's from either of you!'

Rose looked at Jens, and her gaze turned unbelievably gentle. "Mommy will cook for you now, Jens."

"Daddy hasn't eaten too!" Jens looked at Mommy with his puppy eyes. "Can you cook something for Daddy too, Mommy?" He begged.

Rose glanced at Jay. "No problem," she said generously. After all, he was the one who paid her rent.

After she went into the kitchen, she realized that she

had not replenished the food supplies of the new house. She only had noodles and salt.

Rose could only cook some noodle soup with salt. She hesitated as she brought the bowl out, fearing that Jay would not like it.

However, Jay and the kids cleaned out the bowls in no time.

"Do you have seconds?" Jay looked at her.

Rose shook her head. "That's the only thing I have in the fridge."

Jay placed the bowl and cutlery down. "I'll go and buy some ingredients. You follow me."

Rose looked at him blankly. "It's fine. I can buy it myself later."

'Is this guy possessed by another soul?'

His gaze remained cold and distant, but she could sense that the hatred and disgust that he bore for her had disappeared.

Rose felt happy for the chance in his demeanor, but a voice in her head interrupted her thoughts. "Don't you remember how he had loathed you? Are you planning to be drawn to him like a moth to a flame again?"

Robbie shoved Mommy toward Jay. "Go to the grocery store with Daddy, Mommy. Daddy is a strong man. He can help you carry the bags."

Rose glanced at Jay disdainfully and said gently to

Robbie, "He's a capitalist who only knows how to exploit the working class. How can he know any sympathy?"

Jay was speechless.

'Alright, I shall use my actions to prove to her that not only some capitalists have sympathy, but they also know how to steal a woman's heart.' Jens quickly thought of something. "Daddy, can you buy the newest programmable robot for me? And also another Lego set..." Jay smiled.

His son was his best wingman.

If Jens wanted many toys, Rose would definitely not be able to bring everything back herself, and she had to accept Jay's offer to go with her.

"Then you three kids better be good at home." 1

Jay glared sternly at her when she mentioned 'home'.

Rose was quickly reminded of his stubbornness. "Also, don't wreck Uncle Sean's house."

"We know, Mommy. Just go already!" Robbie waved at her.

Rose and Jay went out of the house one after another. Jay paused at the door for a while, and his eagle-like gaze turned menacing as he looked at the lock.

The nearby grocery store was three floors high. It had everything they wanted.

Rose got herself a shopping cart at the entrance, while Jay walked by her side.

While Rose walked toward the produce section on the first floor, Jay suddenly pulled her back and went toward the hardware section.

"Can I have a fingerprint lock, please!"
