Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 49

"If you magically disappeared, how would Daddy punish me?" Baby Robbie continued asking innocently.

Grayson was caught off guard by his question. "If I disappeared,” he said grimly, "Mr. Ares probably won't give it much thought."

Baby Robbie's bright eyes blinked. "Oh, so it's better for you to disappear."

Grayson eyed Baby Robbie suspiciously. "Hmm. Did the sun rise from the West today? You look a little different today, Master Jenson."

Baby Robbie got up from the sofa and walked toward Grayson with his arms outstretched. There was a faint smile on his face.

"Mister, is it because I've been talking a lot today?"

"Not just that, but your face also looks more expressive today," Grayson said thoughtfully.

Baby Robbie continued walking toward him. "Mister, i f you raise your hands, there will be another surprise!"

Grayson slowly raised his hands without question. Suddenly, Baby Robbie pulled off his tie and bound Grayson's hands behind his neck with it.

"Master Jenson, what are you doing?" Grayson yelped.

"Don't be afraid, mister. I'm just playing a game with you." Baby Robbie pulled out some rope from the office and tied Grayson up like a rice dumpling.

"Jenson, what are you trying to do?"

"Mister, we're simulating an escape room game. I'll give you half an hour and you'll have to find a way to untie the rope within this duration. Tell me, can you d o it?"

"Jenson’s" face was innocent and harmless as if he would never hurt a fly. Grayson looked at that face and nodded curtly. "I can do that."

Baby Robbie found a roll of tape and Grayson felt that the situation was escalating. He was starting to get a little scared. "Master Jenson, what are you going to do?"

Baby Robbie said airily, "Since we're doing a simulation, we should make everything as realistic as possible." With those words, he taped Grayson’s mouth shut mercilessly.

Baby Robbie dragged Grayson toward the back of the sofa with all his strength. He looked at the watch on his wrist. He maintained the act. "It's ten minutes to eleven-the time starts now."

Done with his elaborate spiel, Baby Robbie stealthily pushed the office door open and left the room.

Grayson had been neatly tied up like a rice dumpling b y "Jenson". His hands and feet were bound and all he could do was stay where he was and panic. The walls i n Grand Asia’s building were soundproof-nobody could hear Grayson’s incessant slams on the ground.

Twenty minutes passed!

Jay had just finished his meeting and returned to his office. When he found Grayson worming on the ground, Jay froze up.

The bodyguard following Jay stepped forward and tore off the tape on Grayson's mouth.

"Mr. Ares..." Grayson gasped, exhausted.

Jay's sharp eagle-like eyes swept across every corner o f the office but did not find Jenson. Immediately, he had a bad feeling. "Where's Jenson?"

Grayson looked distressed and could not curse the devilish "Jenson” even if he wanted to. He said miserably, "Mr. Ares, Master Jenson told me he wanted to simulate an escape room game with me. He tied me up like a rice dumpling and ran away!"

Jay immediately turned on the computer monitor to examine the surveillance footage. On the screen, he saw "Jenson" running out from Grand Asia’s building.

When he realized that "Jenson" must have been chasing Rose, his heart plummeted. 1

"What's the point of keeping you if you can't even take care of a child?" he spat.

When Grayson regained his mobility, he sat timidly on the floor with his head down. He realized that Master

Jenson had played him for a fool. Utterly dejected, he tried to justify himself. "Mr. Ares, Master Jenson premeditated this plan to escape."

"Shut up," Jay snapped mercilessly.

All Grayson could do was keep silent and suck it up-h e could not even defend himself!
