At the thought that Jay did not like to sleepover at unfamiliar hotels, Rose went back to the hotel to fetch Baby Zetty. Then, they all returned to Imperial Capital that night.
The four-wheeled drive sped along the dark highway. I n the back seat, the three children were fast asleep; the backrest had been folded down to widen the seats.
Meanwhile, Rose sat in the front passenger seat and looked out the window. The night sky was pitch black and not even a single star could be found. It was just like her heart that had fallen into endless darkness.
"Sir Ares, don't you feel like it's a waste of time to marry me?" Her voice was so soft as if it had come from the wind.
It brought along hints of hesitation and fear.
She was helpless when it came to the unknown future.
Jay's firm voice replied, "I’d never do something that would waste my time."
Rose turned to look at him. His obsidian eyes were glowing brightly. "Why do you want to marry me?"
"You want to know the answer?" Jay’s mesmerizing voice seduced her, and she was tempted by him for a moment.
She nodded. "Hmm."
Jay abruptly turned around, and his lips curled upward. Consequently, she was left with a handsome side profile. "Rose Loyle, you can take a lifetime to search for the answer.”
Rose was taken aback. This man always spoke with hidden meanings. Her mind when compared to his, was probably like an ancient unicellular microorganism.
She leaned her head against the headrest, and her clear voice rang in the air once again, “Sir Ares, would you give me that opportunity to find the answer?"
She was afraid that he would return to his old ways after they got married and continue to scheme against her.
If that were the case, she had to play along till one was down!
Did she have a choice considering that she was going t o be linked to him for her whole life?
Jay said, "If you think that one lifetime is not enough, then use two lifetimes, three even..."
Unfortunately, Rose did not hear any of that because she was still recovering from a mild concussion she suffered not too long ago; she ended up falling asleep i n the midst of their conversation.
