Despite having never paid attention to his own looks, praise from this woman somehow turned his negative mood around.
Rose murmured under her breath, "Don't you know? The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”
Jay shot her a death glare. "What other men do you want?"
Rose shut her mouth and shook her head.
Moving his arm from her shoulder to her waist, Jay squeezed her tightly against himself to the point where Rose felt as if the air from her abdomen to her lungs had been squeezed out.
For a split moment, she felt suffocated.
"Since you've slept with me once, Rose, you’ve signed yourself off to a lifetime of sleeping with me. You're well aware of me being a clean freak, yes? I’ll throw you into the furnace should you have the slightest thought toward another man."
Rose nodded and bowed in a puppy-like manner." There's not a second of which I don't remind myself that I'm yours, Sir Ares.”
"Good." Then, he said, "Grandfather wants me to entertain the guests. Wait for me here. I'll be back

It was as if a heavy weight lifted off Rose right as Jay turned to leave.
Sean walked elegantly toward Rose.
"Orchid!”
"Sean, our plan ends here." Taking the opportunity, Rose clarified with him.
Sean tsk-ed disappointedly. "I should have known he would end our love before it even started."
Rose was speechless."..."
"Miss Rose." Nancy Bell appeared out of nowhere.
Standing in front of Rose, she glared domineeringly at her.
"Yes?"
"Didn't Miss Rose swear to love my brother just a few days ago? Yet here you are in Master Ares' arms in the blink of an eye. You have quite admirable skills, Miss Rose."
Rose splashed the red wine in her hands onto the other’s face. "Watch your mouth, Nancy Bell."
