Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) -
Chapter 2360
Roxie had never put on makeup so seriously before. She already had exquisite features, so when paired with her delicate makeup, she looked particularly beautiful. Just like an elf left behind in this mortal world, she looked pure and cold as if she was placed way above the common populace.
When she finished applying her makeup, a servant was already outside her door, urging, "Ms. Roxie, your father, Charles Banners, has already arrived at the hall." Baby Robbie said, "We got it. Let him wait."
However, Roxie suddenly grew more nervous. She was holding the wheelchair tightly with both hands with an uneasy expression on her face.
"What's wrong?" Baby Robbie asked attentively.
Roxie suppressed the tension in her heart and nodded at Baby Robbie. "I don't know what's going on but my heart is beating wildly for no reason." Baby Robbie's handsome face sank. He was afraid that this was a sign of a bad premonition.
Baby Robbie pushed Roxie and took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor.
Roxie could see a middle-aged couple sitting next to
Sir Ares and Angeline from a distance away. They had their waists hunched over. They were trying their best to flatter the Areses.
A glint of shame flashed past Roxie's eyes.
Her father abandoned her sick mother back then. He was a snob who married a rich lady who could offer him a higher position and more wealth.
It seemed like he had not changed even after so many years. The guy was still as snobbish as ever.
Charles and Madam Banners raised their gazes. Upon seeing Roxie, both of them were extremely stunned. It was not that they were surprised to see her but they were dumbfounded to see Baby Robbie, who was pushing her wheelchair.
Baby Robbie looked exactly like Jenson, except that the corners of his eyes were raised slightly higher. He appeared more gentle and harmless. However, he still had the same elegant temperament as Jens. For someone as noble as Robbie to personally help Roxie, the couple immediately re-examined the weight of Roxie's value.
If Roxie was able to become the Ares family's in-law, the Banners family's wealth would be bottomless.
"Roxie," said Charles as he stood up tremblingly.
He walked toward Roxie and looked
at her like a father who had repented as he said, I've come to see you. You've suffered for so many years Roxie. It's all my fault. When they said that you were missing all those years ago, I searched all over fr you. I thought that you were no longer in this world with us. I shouldn't have given up looking for you..."
As he spoke, he wiped his tears away and looked very sincere.
However, the people inside the house, including Roxie and the others who had crawled out of the ruthless military intelligence division, were mature beyond their age.
They all felt awkward and embarrassed from witnessing Charles' little act.
It was just that Roxie was kind-hearted and longed for paternal love. Hence, she chose not to expose his act.
Charles continued acting for quite
some time. When he saw that no one tried to comfort him, he started feeling embarrassed and stopped trying to gain sympathy. Instead, he quickly explained his intention for coming today. "Roxie, I'm here today to take you home."
Roxie was slightly startled. She was not mentally prepared to go back with her father at all.
She looked at Sir Ares and Angeline helplessly.
At this moment, Angeline noticed the fear of facing the unknown from the child's eyes and walked over to say to Roxie gently, "Lil Six, Mommy wants you to stay here. It'll take some time before your body fully recovers, so Mommy will be worried if you go back to
the Banners now."
Madam Banners replied gloomily, "Rest assured, Madam. Roxie is her father's biological daughter. Her father is the person who loves her the most. He'll definitely be able to take good care of her."
These words were undoubtedly said to put pressure o n Angeline using Charles' blood ties with Roxie.
Angeline was upset, but she did not want to give them a hard time in front of Roxie. She merely stood aside quietly.
Then, Charles said again, "Come home with us, Roxie. I'll make everything right again."
