Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 42

Jay felt like he just heard a tremendous joke, his cold and handsome face freezing on the spot.

'Rose, a top student at First Academy?

'She should take a good look at herself in the mirror before spewing such nonsense. Each and every student from First Academy is an outstanding person. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

'How could she lie to Jenson like that?' 1

"Jenson," Jay spoke in a level voice, "even if she's a First Academy graduate, her professional knowledge and proficiency cannot meet the requirements to become a Grand Asia employee. Daddy can't admit her exceptionally because it’ll be unfair to other candidates."

Jay was appalled by Rose’s shameless lies, but he still felt reluctant to outright defame Rose in front of" Jenson".

It was his way of protecting his son-he did not want t o be the one to shatter the beautiful image of Mommy i n his heart.

Baby Robbie was very confident in Mommy's ability. H e persevered and begged Jay, "Daddy, believe me. Rose is really good. Please let her work at your company? Pretty please?"

Jay was befuddled. "Jenson" had never begged him

for anything. It was such a rare event, and there was s o much sincerity in his plea, that Jay could not bring himself to reject his son's fragile heart.

He thought for a while before he finally conceded. " Alright. Daddy will give her a call tomorrow and invite her to apply for the company, how does that sound?"

Baby Robbie cheered happily, "Woohoo!"

Jay murmured to himself thoughtfully, 'Even if I smacked the job advertisement right on top of her face, would she be bold enough to apply?’

To prevent "Jenson" from being disappointed, Jay deliberately lowered his expectation first.

"Jenson, Daddy can only give her the chance to apply for Grand Asia. Whether or not she can land a spot Grand Asia will all depend on her performance. If she does not pass the stages, don't be too disappointed. Daddy can make an arrangement for her to work in m y friend's company, okay?"

"Jenson" showed unwavering trust in Rose. "Daddy, don't worry, Rose will definitely get through the tests."

Baby Robbie thought about it privately. His hacking knowledge came from Mommy. If he was able to easily compromise Grand Asia's network, it meant that the technical personnel responsible for network security in Grand Asia were no match for Mommy.

Jay shook his head helplessly and sighed when he saw his son's immense confidence in Rose.

'Rose is just an illegitimate girl from the countryside. Even the university she attended was just an ordinary local college. I don't know what kind of ideas she's been putting in Jenson's head to make him so obsessed with her.

'But maybe...'

He should uncover her facade to prove that a woman like her who cooked lies to curry favor with a kid was ultimately nothing but talk. Finally, Jenson would be able to see the truth about her. He wanted to teach Jenson not to be obsessed over someone's outer appearance and illusion. 2

After Baby Robbie returned to the villa, he sneaked out while his dad was asleep and secretly sent a voice message to Jenson via his smartwatch. "Make sure Mommy accepts the job interview for Grand Asia."

After Jenson received the message, he gave a little smile. "Roger that!" he sent back.

The next day.

Splendid Town.

When Rose woke up, she found a watercolor painting 0 n the bed. It was a germinating seed that came out of the ground, under the wind and rain. In the background, there was a woman's back leaving the little plant.

When Rose saw the painting, she could not help but think about poor Jenson. Suddenly, tears started

flowing out of her eyes.

For a child without his mother, even if he could live an extravagant life, he would be just like this forgotten seed. Having to go through many hardships of the weather right after breaking out of the ground. 1

The thought of the motherless Jenson was absolutely heartbreaking.

At that moment, Jenson quietly walked over and stood silently beside Mommy's bed, looking at her intently.
