Jay said hoarsely, "Everyone go to bed. I'll find a way t o get Mommy back."
Baby Zetty was still crying and kicking up a fuss. "No, I don't want to sleep, I want Mommy..."
"This child... Why are you so disobedient?" Jay was at a loss with Baby Zetty's clingy attitude.
"If you cry again, you won't be able to see Mommy anymore," Jay threatened.
Baby Zetty was angry, but she dared not speak and only stared at him sadly.
Now that there was no Mommy to back her up, Baby Zetty was also a little frightened.
Seeing that she was amenable to coercion but not coaxing, Jay escalated his intimidation. "Your Mommy doesn't want you anymore, so you have to listen to Uncle from now on. Otherwise, Uncle also won’t want you."
Baby Zetty stopped sobbing, but her little face was filled with fear.
Baby Robbie held his little sister’s hand. "Baby Zetty, don't be afraid. Big Brother wants you!"
Baby Zetty finally stopped crying and Jay could calm down. He wondered whether Rose's running away from home this time was decisive or impulsive.
He always felt that she loved her child very much. Even if she was wounded all over by the Ares family members and even if she could safely leave Baby Robbie and Jenson in his hands, how could she be willing to leave Baby Zetty to an outsider like him?
Moreover, she knew he did not like Baby Zetty.
Jay had hoped that she would return, at least to take Baby Zetty away.
It was just that a new problem had arisen even before the old one was solved.
The next morning, Baby Robbie found out that his little sister was missing. He panicked and ran into Jay's room. Acting as if he had ants in his pants, he exclaimed, "Daddy, something bad has happened! Little Sister is gone."
Baby Robbie handed his little sister's farewell painting to Jay. Baby Zetty drew two trees, one was a white poplar and the other was a cotton tree. The cotton tree and white poplar were flying to the ends of the world. Two birds were on the white poplar and one was flying toward the cotton tree.
The meaning was obvious. Baby Zetty was going to look for her mother.
Jay felt as though his head would explode. Why did God create creatures like women?
