Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 186

"Who taught you the saying about cabbage getting eaten and ruined by pigs?"

"Aunt Josephine."

Rose,It seemed like she and Josephine needed to have a talk.

Her gaze shifted to the uneasy-looking Jenson. "What about you, Jens? Why did you say such rude words like mentally retarded to the teacher?"

Jenson bit his lip and remained silent.

Rose treated her sons differently. Ever since Baby Robbie started practicing Taekwondo, he had gone through countless arduous training and now had skin as solid as a bear's. She would hit him a few times and it would only feel like she was tickling him.

On the other hand, Jens grew up in the Ares family with his needs attended to very carefully. Coupled with his mild autism, Rose was exceptionally gentle toward him.

"Jens, Mommy won’t beat you or scold you. Mommy just wants to know why you said those ill-mannered words. Mommy can only help you to correct your mistakes and make you an even more outstanding and likable child if you tell Mommy the truth."

Under Rose's patient and gentle guidance, Jenson

finally spoke, "The teacher said among the three little pigs, the eldest one is lazy, the second one has petty shrewdness, and only the third is hardworking and pragmatic. She asked me which pig I would like to be.

I said that only mentally retarded people would answer this question because I don’t want to be a pig."

Rose was dumbfounded.

Though the question did sound a bit odd, the teacher certainly did ask it out of malice. She was simply trying to test the children’s perception of character, and it just so happened that her son was a prodigy who was shrewd enough in his manner of thinking.

"Sigh." Rose sighed. "Jens, go and recite the story of the three little pigs again, then come over and tell Mommy which little pig you prefer and why."

Jenson stood up.
