Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1019

When Jay came out of the shower, he found Marilyn sitting on his bed.

Startled, Jay slowly furrowed his brows.

Marilyn patted the empty bed and called out softly. "I get it now, darling. Since we're husband and wife, I won't complain about your illness when you're sick. I'll sleep next to you every day from now on, and maybe someday, you'll get used to this physical intimacy and your illness will heal even without any medication."

When Jay's gaze fell on Marilyn's swarthy arms, his stomach started churning uncontrollably. He endured the pain with a frown and shuffled over.

Marilyn embraced him tightly. She called out in a soft and mushy voice as if her entire body was being burned by a blazing fire.

"I feel so uncomfortable, darling," She seduced him in a mellow and sultry voice.

Jay remained silent as he tried to endure the increasingly sickening feeling in his stomach.

Eventually, he pulled her hands away without any mercy.

"You know I can't, Marilyn, so why are you doing this to me?" His voice sounded like it was enveloped in a

block of ice, extinguishing her blazing passion in an instant.

She held onto him stubbornly, unwilling to let go.

Jay broke free of her grasp. "I'm going downstairs for a walk."

He turned around, opened the door, and left.

When Marilyn heard the sound of the door opening and closing, a forlorn expression emerged on her face.

"Do I disgust you that much?" Tears streamed down her face.

Jay wandered aimlessly in the cool night and eventually fell asleep on the bench downstairs of the housing estate. When he woke up, a gust of cool breeze made him feel dizzy and light-headed. That was when he knew that he had caught a cold.

In the early morning, Marilyn came downstairs to look for him while holding the child in her arms. When she saw him sitting on the bench sneezing, Marilyn said with tears in her eyes, "I won't force you to sleep with me anymore. You don't have to keep avoiding me either. Just go home and have a good rest."

Jay smiled weakly. "It's dawn now. I should go out and look for a job. You should go back with Tiger." Having said that, he got up from the bench and walked leisurely to the housing estate's main gate. Marilyn held Tiger in her arms. She watched with a wistful gaze as he walked further and further away before finally returning to the rented house.

Perhaps it was because she was in a good mood lately, so part of Angeline's vision had gradually restored. She could see a little now.

At the thought of the large stack of documents waiting for her to deal with in the company, Angelina dared not laze away and rushed to the company after applying her honey-oiled makeup.

When she sat on the swivel chair in the president's office, Grayson and Zayne were already standing in front of her.

"You first, Grayson." Angelina knew that Grayson was in charge of the company's operations, whereas Zayne was in charge of the logistics. The former was more important than the latter.

Grayson did not disappoint. After processing the documents that the president needed to read through, he reported, "Ms. Severe, in view of Titus Enterprise, Bell Enterprise, and several other departments' failure to perform well for the company's quarterly assessment, their bonuses will be reduced proportionally according to the company's regulations."

Angelina fiddled with the diamond sunflower on her nails and praised him. "Good job."

Grayson put on a bitter look on his face. "Ms. Severe, these departments voiced their objections during the

meeting yesterday."

Angeline's voice was cold. She carried an unyielding aura that of a queen. "Objections? Send them to me then."

Grayson nodded. "Okay."

"What about you, Zayne?"

Seeing that the pleasant atmosphere had turned stifling because of Grayson, Zayne glared at him.

Grayson, "..."
