Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1001

As if she was reciting from a textbook, Marilyn was always able to answer with great precision. Not a single detail was left out. "Darling, three years ago, you borrowed money from a loan shark and was chased down by them to pay your debt. When you and Tempest tried to escape by car, your debtors drove both of you off a cliff."

There was a dull and obscure look on Jay's face. He could not think of any reason why he would want to borrow from a loan shark.

He hated idlers who profited from other's toils to the core. How could he possibly have anything to do with them?

"Why did I borrow from a loan shark?" Jay asked with a frown.

"Who knows what you did out there? A few years back, you were working out there and would only come home once a year. Every time you returned home, you would dress up decently. I thought you were just an honest man doing an honest business. I didn't think that you would've reached out to those riff-raffs for money."

Jay sighed weakly.

When he tried to ask more, tears were seen streaming down Marilyn's face as she said with an aching heart,"

I was still pregnant with Tiger at the time. After what happened to you, my parents thought you're a hopeless case and forced me to marry an old man in a neighboring village. I was pregnant, so I insisted on not remarrying. After realizing that their coercion was not working, my parents drove me out of the house."

Jay pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. With a pang of intense guilt, he said, "I'm sorry, Marilyn. It's my fault for involving you in this."

Marilyn looked at him in distress. "Darling, you contracted a strange illness after the car accident and have refused to sleep with me ever since. What's worse, you can't even do all the dirty and laborious work anymore. I've never complained about you. All I ask of you is that you don't leave us. We'll stick together as a family forever, okay?"

Feeling bad about having failed a kind wife like Marilyn, Jay made up his mind and said, "I'll go to the hospital in a few days' time to see if I can cure my strange illness. Marilyn, I won't let you suffer anymore." Marilyn smiled through her tears. "I trust you."

Jay took her into his arms, holding in the discomfort he felt in his stomach by force.

Garden Of A Diary.

The atmosphere in the room was brutally cold.

Angelina sat on the couch, sulking.

Zayne begged her humbly for forgiveness. "Oh, Madam, I've already apologized for coming just a teeny bit late and making you stand in the rain, so why are you still mad?" Angeline snapped. "I didn't ask you to come. Why did you turn up? You ruined my plan, wasted all my effort standing in the rain, and more so, wasted all my tears for nothing." Zayne was puzzled. "Aren't you angry because I'm late?"

At this moment, Josephine stormed in. The moment she saw Zayne, she threw her handbag at him.

Zayne hopped up and down. "Have both of you gone nuts? What did I do wrong today that I deserve to be treated like that? One is having a cold war with me and the other hits me as soon as she sees me. Can someone give me an explanation so I can at least submit defeat after knowing what exactly happened?"

Failing to chase after Zayne after a very long time, Josephine placed her hands on her knees and began huffing and puffing.

Running out of breath, she huffed. "You could've shown up earlier or later, but why did you show up at that exact time and disrupted all of our plans? You made Angeline stand in the rain looking like a drowned rat for nothing! You jinx. You make me so mad."

Zayne looked as if he was beginning to understand

something. "What plan?"

Josephine explained, saying, "Self-injury scheme.

Didn't you see my brother at the mall? If you showed up just a bit later, my brother would've bolted out the door to help Angeline and the two lovers would finally get married."

Zayne finally understood why the two women were going berserk today.
