Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1014

If Marilyn could have at least one-tenth of that trust for him, then they would not have had such a childish argument last night.

After hiding for a very long time, Baby Zetty thought that Daddy would probably start suspecting if she continued to hide, hence she opened the kitchen door and walked out naturally. "Let's go to the piano room, Mr. Ben. Mommy wants to hear you play Red Spider Lily."

"Mm." Jay stood up.

Baby Zetty walked over and held Mommy's hand tenderly. When they went upstairs, she reminded Mommy constantly. "Steps, Mommy."

Jay followed behind them, fascinated by how soft and tender a daughter like Baby Zetty was.

In the piano room.

Baby Zetty pulled both Jay and Angeline onto the piano bench. She chirped with joy, saying, "Play Red Spider Lily, Mr. Ben. Listen, Mommy. Mr. Ben can play Red Spider Lily really well." Jay sat down next to Angeline unsuspectingly.

His slender and beautiful fingers rested on the keys. Like a work of art, his well-defined bones were wrapped delicately in a layer of transparent skin that resembled cicada's wings.

His fingers pressed down on the keys, producing a brassy sound.

Perhaps it was because his head was a mess and his emotions were in turmoil, so when he played Red Spider Lily this time, it sounded a tad rushed.

Although it sounded majestic and soul-stirring all the same, there was also a hair-raising tension to it.

Angeline frowned slightly. Why did she not recall sensing such helplessness and bewilderment when he played Red Spider Lily back then?

Angeline pressed his hands suddenly and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Jay looked at Angeline curiously. "What's the matter?"

Angeline felt a pang in her heart.

Did he encounter an unsolvable problem to be torturing himself like this?

"Is something bothering you, Mr. Ben?"

Jay was nonplussed by her question and stared blankly at her.

Something was bothering him indeed. He was trapped in a dilemma today thinking about how he should handle his and Marilyn's relationship.

It was impossible for things to stay the same anymore, at least for Marilyn. She was not happy with how things were currently moving along.

If that was the case, what could he do in order to make everyone happy?

He pondered for a very long time only to find that he had reached a deadlock.

The more he tried to unravel this mystery, the more complicated it became.

"How did you know?" he asked curiously.

Angeline replied, "The sound of the piano told me."

Her meticulousness had left Jay dumbfounded. Had she heard him playing this piece before, then she might be able to detect a flaw or two if she compared this time to the last. However, this was only the first time she heard him playing this piece, right?

He became exhilarated and asked, "Can you tell what my current mood is from the sound of the piano?"

"You're at a loss and in despair," Angeline answered with concern.

Jay was stupefied. She got it all right.

"Do you have a way to brighten up my mood, perhaps?" he asked jokingly.

He was not actually hoping to get a real answer.

However, a scene from many years ago then popped up in Angeline's mind...

When Jay first learned about the immoral relationship between his mother and his grandfather, his world was completely shattered.

At that time, he was also at a loss and in despair.

He had embraced her and pleaded, "Don't leave me, Angeline."

That was him after his pride had been smashed to the ground, giving way to self-rejection and self-loathing.

Therefore, she played The Soul Of The Sun Never Sets for him to bask in the passionate and intense music, and eventually, she managed to slowly help him out of the predicament.
