Jay felt wronged as well. He had finally gotten the woman he yearned so long for back to Tourmaline Estate. Perhaps he had indeed been a tad overexcited.

Gently, Jay helped her into her clothes. The fire within Rose quelled at the action.

However, a beeping sound came from her body right after she was clothed.

Finding the offending device at the end of her sleeves, Rose stared questionably at Jay. "What's this?"

"A timer! It records how long you've been with me."

It was no ordinary timer, for it came with a special sensor. Its counterpart on Jay was in a diamond wristwatch.

The closer the timer to Jay, the faster the hand ticked by. The further she was from him, the slower time would pass.

Having found out its mechanics, Rose stared despondently at him.

"So, what's the effective distance for the timer to work?"

"50!" Jay exclaimed.

Rose was displeased. "50 meters? Isn't that too short?"

Jay corrected her and said, "50 centimeters."

Rose wanted to leave!

"Why don't you just tie me to you at this point?"

He examined her with a serious expression. "I like that idea."

He would have her in his pocket all day every day if he could. Throwing a tantrum, she huffed where she sat by the side.

His eyes twinkled with mirth as he reached out to ruffle her long hair.

He liked it when she was within reach!

Rose, on the other hand, was close to tears. This pervert was so going to have his way with her for the next three days.

Suddenly, a lightbulb popped above her head. She thought of her savior.

"Sir Ares, where's Robbie?"

Jay replied relaxedly, "The kids are with their grandparents."

Rose forced tears out her eyes to form a pitiful expression. "I miss them."

Staring at her, Jay replied cruelly as he had seen through her scheme. "You cannot!"

Rose was speechless.

'So bossy.'

Mimicking his tone, she said, "I can't help myself from missing them. You know how yearning is. Like a fired arrow, there's no controlling it."

Lips twitching, Jay lifted her head by her chin and smiled wickedly. "What? Hoping your son would come to save you?"

Rose shook her head. "You've misunderstood, Sir Ares. It's a fortune accumulated by generations before me that I'm blessed with the honor of being by your side. How could I possibly want to flee?" Leaning over, he pecked her forehead rewardingly.

"It's great that you think so."

Rose pressed on. "But what if they miss me?"

"You may video call.'

Wiping her tears away, she broke into a smile. "Can I call now?"

She had to ask her son for help!

Jay nodded. After fetching his phone to call his son, Baby Robbie quickly picked up.
