Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 123

Grand Old Master Ares's gnarled hand patted heavily o n the thick stack of banknotes. His usually sharp and penetrating gaze flashed with a hint of childish glee.

"If you know that the money can buy you so many good things, then why did you reject it?" He said lovingly.

'Great Grandpa knows that you and Mommy are staying in a rental room. Baby Robbie, with this money, you can buy your Mommy a big house and she’ll be very very happy.'

Baby Robbie lifted his head. "Great Grandpa, Mommy and I indeed are not as rich as you, but that doesn't mean that we can simply accept gifts from anyone. Mommy has taught me that I should live by my own means. If I want a better life, I should work harder to achieve that on my own," he said confidently to Grand Old Master Ares.

"Mommy also said that misfortune can come from fortune, and fortune can come from misfortune. Great Grandpa giving me so much money might seem like a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, there is a great danger hidden within."

Grand Old Master Ares appreciated Baby Robbie's intelligence.

However, Baby Robbie's last sentence startled

everyone.

Third Great Aunt immediately said to him, "Baby Robbie, Great Grandpa is giving you a welcome gift out of his kindness. Why do you say that he's hiding a great danger? Do you think that he might have sinister intentions against you?" 1

A five-year-old child might not present his thoughts coherently. Third Great Aunt used that to her advantage and twisted Baby Robbie's words. She was obviously bullying him.

Baby Robbie immediately corrected his Third Great Aunt.

"You're mistaken, Third Great Aunt. The hidden danger that I say is not the same as what you think. Great Grandpa can give me even the smallest needle and I will be appreciative of that."

"So what hidden danger are you talking about then?" Third Great Aunt retorted.

She was sure that the five-year-old child would not be able to answer the question.

Baby Robbie blinked his clear, innocent eyes and spoke.

"If Great Grandpa gives me so much money, then I might become lazy and not study hard, and so I will become incapable of achieving anything. That's the first point. My friends might also be envious of me now that I have so much money. Baddies might also find ways to kidnap or harm me so that they can take my money. I won't be able to feel safe anymore. That's the second point. Also..." Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

When Baby Robbie said that, suddenly his eyes brimmed with tears. He wanted to say something but stopped, and that made other people feel sorry for him.

Grand Old Master Ares marveled at Baby Robbie's speech. He was concerned when he saw Baby Robbie suddenly become dejected. "What's wrong?" He asked.

Baby Robbie lifted his teary puppy eyes. "Great Grandpa, the more you show your love to me, the sadder my little sister will get. I don't want my little sister to be sad."

Grand Old Master Ares was in awe of how considerate and intelligent Baby Robbie was.

"I'm starting to like this child more and more." Grand Old Master Ares placed the diamond credit card into Baby Robbie's palm and said gently, "There's not much money inside. Give this to Mommy when you go home. Treat it as her compensation for helping me raise such an outstanding and adorable great-grandson."

Baby Robbie placed the credit card back into the jade tray. "Great Grandpa, Mommy wouldn't want to take your money." 1

He glanced at Jay standing next to him and said, "A few days ago, Daddy wanted to give Mommy a lot of money, but Mommy didn't want to take a single cent. Mommy said that it's every mother's responsibility to

take care of their children."

Grand Old Master Ares did not know how to respond.

He had never seen a child who knew about materialism but was not materialistic.

Grand Old Master Ares had a newfound admiration for Baby Robbie and wanted to shower him with all his love at that moment. However, he was also aware that i t was not a good thing that the child received too much attention, otherwise the child might also end up like Jenson.

Grand Old Master Ares resumed his usually serious demeanor and asked Baby Robbie sternly, "Don't you think that you're being rude by rejecting the welcome gift from Great Grandpa?"
