Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 312

Rose stared at him in a daze. Was this the same refined father who was in her memory?

After not seeing him for a few years, he had grown older. He was less than 60 years old, yet he appeared t o be in his 70s.

George walked toward the leather sofa and sat down slowly. He pointed toward the sofa on the other side and said to Rose, "Come and sit."

Rose chose to sit down on the sofa beside him instead, which was the closest to George's seat.

George instructed Anne, "Bring some beverages for our guest.”

Anne snorted coldly. "Dear, we don’t have anything good at home to serve the guest."

Rose immediately uttered, "Plain water will do."

Thus, Anne went on to pour a cup of water for Rose while she babbled endlessly, "If it weren't for my children, we wouldn't even be able to afford to pay for plain water. Hmph. Where's that darling son and daughter of the Severe family? How could they be unreliable during critical times?"

George's aged face immediately turned gloomy as he spat out, "Will you die if you don't mention them for a single day?"

Anne walked over with a cup of water and placed it heavily on the coffee table. She made a huge thud to show her inner dissatisfaction.

"Yes, I just can’t reconcile with it. When the Severe family was at its glory, why were Zayne and Angeline the only ones acknowledged by the Severe family? They were showered with unlimited money and riches, yet my children lived in the dark. Now that the Severe family has fallen, one of them is dead and the other one has fled to God knows where. But my children are the ones who have to bear hardships with you!”

Rose held onto the cup and slowly savored the flat plain water.

In her eyes, Anne's indignation was simply preposterous. She was the one who had separated her father and mother, which made Zayne and Angeline lose their paternal love overnight.

As for her children, they led a spoiled and prosperous life under their father's wing.

Today, the Severe family had fallen, yet Zayne was working hard to save Severe Enterprises even though managing a company was not his strongest suit.

As for her, she was dead. Otherwise, how could she possibly let her family go through trials and hardships alone?
