Chapter 21
One after another, the onlookers began condemning the woman. "Exactly. You're an adult, how could you bully a kid?”
Seeing that the situation was escalating, the woman hastily whispered to Jenson with her beet-red face," I'm sorry."
Jenson said coolly, "No more scolding my mommy."
Rose looked at Jenson and her eyes became moist.
In Jenson's heart, Mommy was a divine existence. She owed the child too much.
The woman quickly nodded and fled the scene.
The matter was resolved. Rose held Jenson's shoulders and asked softly, "Jens, can I send you into the classroom?" 1
Jenson looked at the school entrance and his steps slowed down significantly. There was a lot of reluctance in his eyes.
Rose embraced Jenson in her arms.
‘The child is clearly afraid of going to kindergarten, so why should he be forced to? Perhaps something bad happened before that made Jenson uncomfortable to b e here.'
Rose gently asked, "Jenson, you don't want to go to
kindergarten?"
Jenson nodded curtly.
Rose suggested, "Then why don't I take you to the amusement park?"
Jenson's handsome face looked a little wary.
It was true that he did not like going to kindergarten but he was equally reluctant to get along with strangers. 1
Rose was not yet considered a proper acquaintance!
However, when he saw how sincerely Rose was treating him, Jenson lowered his guard and nodded.
Rose lifted Jenson and whooped, "We're going to the amusement park!"
"No! You can't take Jenson away, he should go to school." Nancy suddenly obstructed Rose and angrily reached out to grab Jenson.
Jay asked her to send Jenson to the kindergarten and that was what she had to do.
Rose was so focused on Jenson that she had been paying very little attention to Nancy. She turned to look at her properly.
Although Nancy wore office clothing with a white blouse and black skirt, her natural beauty showed through despite the common garments.
She looked fairly open, intellectual, and elegant.
"Who are you?" Rose only just thought of asking who the woman was.
Nancy raised his chin and said, "My name is Nancy and Jay is my fiance. I'll be Jenson's stepmother soon!"
Rose was stunned!
'This is Jay’s type?
'She looks smart, but maybe that's not a great thing. She only cares about pleasing Jay and was neglecting Jenson.
'The more she goes against Jenson, the more Jenson will hate her. Without Jenson's approval, Jay’s marriage will be indefinite.
'She should know that the Ares Family takes its nextgeneration very seriously.'
Rose kindly reminded her, "Since you're going to be Jenson's stepmother, you should learn how to make the child happy."
Nancy huffed, "You're just the nanny. You have no right to point fingers at me!"
"I'm giving you advice with the best intentions. If you don't get the kid's approval, Sir Ares won’t marry you." Rose said calmly.
Nancy stared at Rose. Rose exuded an aura like an orchid that did not need soil to grow.
'Is this type of woman that gets men excited?'
Nancy was inexplicably hostile to Rose. "You seem to know Jay very well. Could it be that you have feelings for him?"
Rose felt her heart freeze up in that instant. 1 This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
It had been a long time since she last thought about her love for Jay. Was it sealed deep inside her heart or had it corroded into hatred from his repeated abuse?
"You can rest assured that I'd marry a chicken or dog before him," Rose said firmly.
He was the unreachable moon and the stars while she was just a shadow in the ditch. A union between them would never be.
Nancy felt rather relieved. 'At least this woman knows her place,’ she thought. Glancing at the expressionless Jenson, she said with a voice of authority, "Jay asked me to send Jenson to school so I’m afraid he’ll have to stay here."
Jenson's body trembled in Rose's arms.
Rose could feel the child's resistance and anxiety. She said crossly, "Miss Nancy, no one is allowed to force him to do things he doesn't like as long as I'm around."
With that said, Rose took Jenson away.
Annoyed, Nancy hurried to call Jay. When the line was connected, Nancy immediately complained, "Jay, the nanny you hired is a damn shrew!"
Jay's eyes narrowed coldly. "What happened?"
"She had a quarrel with one of the student's parents and it got ugly. I tried to advise her but she told me off and even forced Jenson out of school to play." 1
Jay’s handsome face darkened instantly.
Rose's sense of inferiority as an illegitimate girl from the countryside seemed to be deeply ingrained in her. Jenson would inevitably be adversely affected by her influence. Right then, Jay felt that hiring Rose into the house might have been a big mistake.
City South's largest amusement park was Happy Valley.
Just as Rose purchased Jenson's entrance ticket, she got a call from Jay.
"Rose, immediately send Jenson back to the kindergarten. Right now." Jay’s spat the order from over the phone.
Rose looked at Jenson and saw that the kid’s eyes were filled with longing and joy. Rose gritted her teeth and hung up the phone.
When Jay realized she hung up on him, his beautiful face froze into a block of ice.
He called Rose again. When she picked up, she answered with fake innocence, "Sir Ares-I'm so sorry, the line's poor here. What did you say-Huh? I can’t hear you. I’ll return your call when we're back." She cut the phone off without hesitation.
Jay,
Did she just pretend that the call was breaking up before he could get a word in?
When he tried to call her again, her phone was apparently turned off.
Jay was so mad that he choked, "Rose..." he growled.
Meanwhile, when Jenson stepped foot into Happy Valley, he looked amazed. His daddy was almost always busy. During the rare free time they had, the father and son would often stay at home to build Legos, learn programming, or play esports.
Rose took Jenson on the pirate ship ride, the merry go round, the bumper cars, surfing, and even the haunted house... then shooting games...
After they were done going through nearly all of the attractions in the amusement park, Rose finally brought Jenson home with their arms full of prizes.
Jay sat on the sofa with a stony face and waited for them. When Rose and Jenson walked in and stood before him, they bowed their heads like kids caught doing something wrong.
Jay reached out and patted Jenson's little head, directing whatever little good temper he had left to his son.
"Jens, go upstairs and take a shower. Daddy has prepared the bath for you," he said curtly.
Jenson shot Rose a tentative look and said to her unexpectedly, "Good luck."
Then, he went upstairs.
As soon as Jenson left, Jay's handsome face dropped the calm facade and became annoyed. "Rose, you won't be coming in tomorrow," he said coldly.
