It might just be a good thing for her sister-in-law that she had this clear understanding.
Josephine had always felt that her brother could marry any woman, but he just could not give love.
The door bell was still ringing...
It was so noisy that Josephine immediately stuffed two tufts of cotton into her ears.
Rose hesitantly walked to the door to open it.
She looked at the two men outside the door with deep resentment. Grayson was dazed. Why was Rose angry?
Mr. Ares' time was money. For him to be waiting here for half an hour, who knew how much money had been wasted? It was Mr. Ares who should be angry.
Josephine was afraid that her sister-in-law who held resentment against her brother would provoke him out of spite. Fearing that Rose would be the one to lose out, she hurriedly went out to help smooth things over.
"Brother, why are you here again?" This was her pretending not to have heard the endless doorbell ringing.
Jay’s knife-sharp eyes glared at Josephine's hypocritical face. "Are you deaf? Would you like me to look for an otolaryngologist for you?"
"That’s not it, Brother. Sister-in-law and I were listening to music." Josephine held Rose and pinched her arm hard, the implication clear.
Rose was the master of obstinance, however, and she stared at Jay with an utterly fearless expression. "You two are not welcome here. Leave!"
Grayson and Josephine were scared into cold sweat b y Rose's provocation. She did not seem to be scared of death!
It was like they could already see the image of Rose's blood flowing into a river.
A chill shot out of Jay's body as if he was about to freeze people into sculptures.
Grayson and Josephine retreated unconsciously. It was the way of the king to protect oneself during a time like this.
Jay looked at Rose with disapproval. His eyes were cold. "Rose, don't be so shameless."
Rose's mind had been lingering on Baby Zetty's helpless gaze and her anxiety from countless restless nights.
Motherhood gave one strength, and she was fearless against Jay Ares.
