Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1228

When Zayne drove into Sycamore Annex, the crowd cheered and confetti blasted off. The children's cheer and laughter filled the courtyard.

"Welcome home, Ms. Severe."

Shirley walked on the red carpet while Josephine held on to her. Old Master Severe was holding a microphone at this moment, his sonorous voice loud and clear.

"Dear friends, relatives, and reporters from various media companies, thank you for coming to our humble abode. Today, the Severe family would like to announce two things. Firstly, we would like to first announce a piece of good news, and that is Zayne and Shirley are now divorced-"

The guests fell silent at this point.

Everyone thought in their hearts, 'How can this be good news? Is Old Master Severe muddled and confused?'

Old Master Severe was grinning from ear to ear. "Let me finish. Although Shirley will no longer be the Severe family's daughter-in-law, she will instead become the Severe family's eldest daughter. From now on, the lonely and helpless Shirley Thomas will be no more.

Now, there's Shirley Severe who not only has two healthy parents, but also a younger brother and a younger sister."

Old Master Severe also narrated Shirley's heroic acts, to which the guests applauded.

Shirley was already moved to tears by everyone's thunderous applause.

She kept saying to Angeline, "I'm in heaven, Sis Angeline. Thanks for making me feel important."

Old Master Severe then announced his second piece of good news. "I have another piece of good news to share. The love marathon between two childhood sweethearts, Zayne and Josephine, has finally come to an end. On this joyous occasion where we've come together to celebrate the latest addition to the Severe family, Shirley Severe, we would also like to take this opportunity to ask Josephine Ares, the Ares family's daughter, if you're willing to marry beneath yourself into the Severe family?"

Zayne pouted and complained, "Grandpa, this is clearly mutual, but why do you say that she's marrying beneath herself? Is it really that humiliating for her to marry me?"

Josephine pushed Zayne. "Why not? I've been pursuing you for so many years, so it should be your turn now. When you've suffered just as much as I did, then I'll marry you. If Grandpa says that I'm marrying beneath myself, then yes, I'm marrying beneath myself."

Zayne spoke like a male chauvinist. "You're no royalty. You're lucky that a spinster like you can marry a talented young man like me. Don't be so insatiably greedy."

Jay sauntered over gracefully with his tall and robust figure, staring at Zayne with deep and profound eyes." Josephine may not be royalty, but she was raised in accordance with strict royal etiquettes. If you want to marry her, Zayne, you have to put down your dignity and pride. You must be willing to do everything for her, including cooking in the kitchen and earning a living for the family. You need to be her greatest supporter."

Zayne cast his gaze on Angeline sitting in the wheelchair and let out a malicious smile. "Don't use all those high-sounding words with me. Let me ask you then, are you willing to lay down your pride and dignity as a young master for my sister?"

Jay walked up to Angeline and knelt on one knee in front of her, saying sincerely and solemnly, "Thank you, Angeline Severe, for not giving up on me. In fact, I can be your rib, your pendant, or your accessories as long as we won't have to separate."

Angeline was flattered. Although Jay would often squat or kneel in front of her wheelchair when he talked to her at home, did he not feel embarrassed when he was doing this in front of so many distinguished guests?

She could only do her best to save the reputation he had cast aside like an old shoe. "It's my honor to be with you, Jaybie."

Zayne was dumbfounded. He thought that Jay had completely lost his mind kneeling in front of Angeline in public.

Zayne tried to escape...

Josephine looked at Zayne, her displeasure toward him gradually spilling out of her eyes.

Jenson looked at Aunty Josephine and shook his head helplessly.

He then picked up a tiny pebble from the ground and flicked it at Zayne's knee, causing Zayne to kneel in front of Josephine very suddenly...
