The Lucky Wife novel Chapter 187

As Rose listened to Baby Zetty's heartbreaking accusation against Jay, she started feeling uncertain and uneasy.

Since the day Baby Zetty moved into Horizon Colors, Jay had been treating her like an outsider. The cold and detached Jay had been treating Baby Zetty very indifferently, and this made Baby Zetty feel as though she was living off him like a parasite.

Baby Zetty had become more and more taciturn lately and was also smiling lesser and lesser, which was not a good sign. Rose feared that Baby Zetty would start isolating herself and become uncommunicative like Jens if she continued to live in an environment where she constantly suppressed herself.

Rose did not know how to comfort Baby Zetty as she had no control over Jay's attitude toward her. She could only rack her brains to think of a solution.

Jay returned very early in the morning but did not go upstairs. He sat on the couch and began smoking vigorously.

Rose stayed up all night. When she went downstairs to grab a drink, she saw Jay sitting on the couch and nearly fell to the ground in shock.

"Sir Ares!"

Rose looked at him with great astonishment, barely able to catch a clear glimpse of his handsome face from the glowing cigarette butt. Despite that, the look on his face was that of extreme depression and decadence.

There was also a strong smell of alcohol emanating from his body.

“You were drinking?" Rose asked with a quivering voice.

Jay’s eagle eyes started burning brilliantly on his decadent face. His sharp eyes fixed on Rose's face, penetrating her concerned-looking eyes.

"Why aren’t you asleep?" he suddenly asked, his hoarse voice carrying a trace of interrogation.

Did she stay up all night waiting for him?

Rose pointed at the kitchen. "I'm a little thirsty, so I came down to get some water."

“There’s a water dispenser upstairs!" He clearly knew that she was lying but, he still insisted on exposing her lie.
