Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 126

"Do you have the time?"

Jay was silent.

Meanwhile, Josephine brought Jenson and Robbie back to Fragrant Vessel Court. That was the name of Jay's home in Tourmaline Estate.

The annex was not as lively as before. Most of the servants had been transferred elsewhere, but what was left was nonetheless an extravagant display of wealth: Six caretakers, and two chefs respectively responsible for Eastern and Western cuisine. As for cleaners and gardeners, they were shared with the other annexes.

The servants opened the doors wide when Jenson and Robbie arrived. They stood on both sides of the entrance and bowed deeply in a previously-rehearsed welcome ceremony for the children. "Welcome home, First Young Master, Second Young Master."

Josephine was panting heavily from carrying Jenson all the way from the meeting hall. "Can you come down already, Jens?" She said. 1 ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Jenson resisted. Robbie stretched out his arm." Jenson, if you're afraid, you can hold my hand. I'll protect you!"

Jenson immediately slid down from Josephine's arms and clasped hands with Robbie. The two children ran

up the stairs hand in hand...

Jenson quickly brought Robbie into his private fortress, then frantically bolted the door.

Robbie noticed Jenson's abnormal behavior. "Are you afraid, Jenson?" He asked softly.

Jenson held Robbie's hand and pulled him into the closet. That seemed to have calmed him down a little." There is a monster here, Robbie. You have to be careful not to let it see you. It will eat you up," he said.

Robbie looked at Jenson's pale face and tightened his grip on his hand. "Don't be afraid, Jenson. Let me tell you, I've taken martial arts classes, and I've even won a champion title. I can protect you," he comforted Jenson.

"Really?" Jenson's panic was eased by Robbie's unassailable confidence. He opened the sliding door o f the closer and pulled Robbie out. "Can you teach me?"

"Of course I can!" Robbie replied snappily.

When Jay finally returned to the house, he could hear the sounds of fighting from upstairs. The servants were all crowded outside the door and were knocking frantically, "Please open the door, Young Masters!"

Josephine was slumped on the couch downstairs while massaging her arms. "Jenson, that brat. I think he's incompatible with the fengshui of the place. Once he steps into Tourmaline Estate, he transforms into a timid little child. I'm so tired."

"What's going on?" Jay asked sternly.

Josephine struggled to lift her head and spoke weakly, "The two brats ran into Jenson's private fortress the moment they got here, and it sounds like they're fighting now. Listen to that, Brother, it looks like the fight is intense. Quickly go and see!"

Jay's expression darkened. "And you call yourself their aunt? Can't you break them up?"

"My arms are almost falling apart and my legs are like jelly. How am I supposed to break them up?"

Jay guessed that Josephine had carried Jenson back from the meeting hall. Tourmaline Estate was vast, and the distance from the meeting hall to Fragrant Vessel Court was not considered a short walk.

Josephine was born with a delicate frame, yet she had persisted in carrying Jenson back because she loved her nephew very much.

Jay was secretly grateful for Josephine's gesture but still chided her sternly anyway. "Useless!"
