Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 231

Back at the house, after Jay placed the four grocery bags away, he took out the fingerprint lock, found a toolbox, and deftly dismantled the brass lock on the door.

Rose was shocked beyond belief and quickly stopped him. "This is Sean's house, Sir Ares. Can you not wreck it without his permission?"

Jay's hands did not stop moving. "Brass locks aren't a s secure as fingerprint locks," he said candidly.

"Why aren't brass locks secure?" Rose was baffled.

Jay stared at her and spat out a few words. "It's not the lock, it's the landlord."

Rose laughed.

She thought that he was worried about the safety of the children. "Well then, have you ever seen a human trafficker as gentlemanly and rich as Mr. Bell?"

Jay threw the tool in his hand on the floor and glared a t her unhappily. "Then, have you seen a human trafficker as handsome and rich as me?"

'Um...

'Does he still remember that I asked the kids to call him a human trafficker?'

Jay glared at Rose's embarrassed face and said, "Sean i

s a wolf in sheep's clothing, yet you think that he is gentlemanly. His charming looks are only superficial. You ought to be wary of him at all times."

Rose felt more awkward the more he spoke. "Are you afraid that he'll do something untoward to me?"

Rose's ears turned red with embarrassment after she said that. Perhaps she had misinterpreted what he said.

Jay picked up the manual from the floor and handed i t to her. "Read it to me."

Rose was exasperated. "Don't you know how to read?"

"If you know that I'm changing the lock for your safety, can't you at least help me out?"

"Sure, whatever," Rose said.

However, she was secretly pleased. Jay was worried about her safety. Did hell freeze over?
