Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 123

Grand Old Master Ares's gnarled hand patted heavily o n the thick stack of banknotes. His usually sharp and penetrating gaze flashed with a hint of childish glee.

"If you know that the money can buy you so many good things, then why did you reject it?" He said lovingly.

'Great Grandpa knows that you and Mommy are staying in a rental room. Baby Robbie, with this money, you can buy your Mommy a big house and she’ll be very very happy.'

Baby Robbie lifted his head. "Great Grandpa, Mommy and I indeed are not as rich as you, but that doesn't mean that we can simply accept gifts from anyone. Mommy has taught me that I should live by my own means. If I want a better life, I should work harder to achieve that on my own," he said confidently to Grand Old Master Ares.

"Mommy also said that misfortune can come from fortune, and fortune can come from misfortune. Great Grandpa giving me so much money might seem like a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, there is a great danger hidden within."

Grand Old Master Ares appreciated Baby Robbie's intelligence.

However, Baby Robbie's last sentence startled

everyone.

Third Great Aunt immediately said to him, "Baby Robbie, Great Grandpa is giving you a welcome gift out of his kindness. Why do you say that he's hiding a great danger? Do you think that he might have sinister intentions against you?" 1

A five-year-old child might not present his thoughts coherently. Third Great Aunt used that to her advantage and twisted Baby Robbie's words. She was obviously bullying him.

Baby Robbie immediately corrected his Third Great Aunt.

"You're mistaken, Third Great Aunt. The hidden danger that I say is not the same as what you think. Great Grandpa can give me even the smallest needle and I will be appreciative of that."

"So what hidden danger are you talking about then?" Third Great Aunt retorted.

She was sure that the five-year-old child would not be able to answer the question.
