Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2386

Her parents used to argue endlessly every day as she hid in the corner and allowed fear to envelop her.

She was so young at that time, but she remembered everything so clearly. Many people stated that three or four-year-old children would have zero memories of their childhood, but almost everything that happened to her had hurt her to her core, making her remember them vividly.

A few days later.

Charles disregarded Madam Banners' objection and set off to look for Roxie's mother.

The poor woman who was abandoned by him had never left that dilapidated house her whole life.

When Charles entered the house, there was an incredibly musty stench. A thin woman was lying on the bed. Her hair was completely gray and she looked unusually old.

Her pair of dry eyes shifted slightly as that was the little energy she had left in her.

Her eyes fell on Charles in a daze. After taking quite some time to recognize him, she was so stirred up that she burst into tears.

"Charles, you're back." Her voice was extremely hoarse.

"Did you replace our girl? Where is she? I haven't seen her

for a long time. Is she okay?"

Charles' expression appeared heavy, or rather, he was ashamed.

The woman on the bed was clearly several years younger than him, but she looked so old now just like a grandmother.

If she had not called his name out, he would not have believed that this person was his first wife.

He became slightly contemptuous of her as she looked too sloppy and ugly. She was no longer worthy of his flourishing self. However, thinking of Roxie, he had to bite the bullet and lean forward. "Lumi, I'm here to pick you up."

The woman was shuddering in tears.

Her shoulders were twitching continuously.

Charles initially thought that she was crying from joy.

Unexpectedly the old woman suddenly became furious at him. "Go away! I don't ever want to see you again. You ruined my life, and you ruined our girl's life! Why hasn't God punished you yet, you heartless man? You don't deserve to live in this world!"

Charles had always hated her potty mouth, as well as her valiant, tomboy-like character. Seeing that her temper had not changed at all, he felt a surge of anger in his heart. "Your daughter's back. She'd like to see you. Don't you want to see her?" he asked rather angrily.

"My girl? My girl..." The old woman burst into tears.

"My girl really came back? Sob, sob... I don't even have the nerve to see her. It was all my fault. I lost her back then. I'm not worthy enough to be a mother." Then, Charles ordered his servants to carry the old woman away.

When Charles brought his first wife through the door of the Banners household, Madam Banners held a knife to her neck. She vowed to stop Roxie's mother from entering the house.

"Charles Banners, if she's here then I'll no longer be around. Think very carefully about what you want to d o next."

Charles was in a predicament now. He scolded Madam Banners and said, "Roxie's mother is gravely ill and it's her last wish to see Roxie."

Madam Banners knew that she was the mistress.

There could not be two wives under the same roof. In the past, although she was in the wrong and her position was unfavorable, she still managed to drive the first wife away and occupied the top seat.

However, she was no longer at the advantage now. The other party had a clever and quick-witted daughter. She was no longer certain that she could keep the man's heart. Hence, she wanted to stop that possibility from ever happening right from the start.

Madam Banners said with flushed eyes, "If you dare to let her step foot into this house, then I'll die in front of you."

Bebe dashed forward and screamed in fright when she saw her mother's behavior.

"Ahh!!!"
