Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1510

Zayne whimpered. He was highly dissatisfied with Jay's little arrangement. In Zayne's view, the patriarch would have sent someone to personally escort the elderly, weaker women, and children to safe passage. The real battlefield was outside, and he was a man. Men should be willing to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield.

Angeline was also dissatisfied with Jay's arrangement. She took Jay's hand and said somewhat coquettishly, "You said we wouldn't be separated, Jaybie."

Knowing that he was a clever and eloquent speaker, Angeline deliberately emphasized, "No matter what."

Jay held Angeline's tender hand and placed it on his chest. His smile was warm and charming as he said," Of course, we won't be separated. It's only temporary, Angeline."

Angeline had a pitiful expression on her face as if her eyes were about to well up with tears. "I don't want to, even if it's temporary. I have to be with you this time."

Jay's heart was stirred into a mess by her crying coquettish voice. He pulled her into his arms and comforted her. "It's too dangerous outside, Angeline. I won't be able to work if you're in front of me." Angeline's tears filled her eyelashes.

She was not an unreasonable person, and Jay's confession gave her a flash of realization as well.

She was not in good health and staying beside Jay in her state would only be a burden to him.

Angeline muttered aggrievedly, "Alright then."

Jay stared at Angeline in a daze. Her watery eyes that were filled with tears made his heart become extremely uncomfortable at the moment.

He hoped that Angeline would understand that she would never be a burden to him.

Then, Judy suddenly broke in and yelled, "Why are you guys not leaving? Move along, go. The secret passage is going to be closed off soon."

Angeline did not expect that they would part so soon. She was reluctantly grasping Jay's hand, unwilling to part with him.

Judy looked at this scene and immediately prodded through the subtle thoughts in the two person's heads. "Go quickly, Sis Angeline. You're not in good health, so you'll only be a burden to Brother Jay if you stay behind."

Angeline then weakly let go of the hand she was holding.

"I'll go pack my things, Jaybie," Angeline said in tears as she walked to the bedroom.

Jay's cold eagle-like eyes shot out a terrifying glare at Judy.

Judy shuddered from the sharp and terrifying stare. She then proceeded to turn her head in embarrassment.

Jay came to the bedroom and pulled the busy Angeline into his arms. He tried comforting her. "How about you stay here, Angeline?"

Angeline smiled and said, "Although Judy's words were uncomfortable to the ear, she still made a lot of sense. Don't worry about me, Jaybie. I'll take good care of myself."

Jay hugged her tightly and said, "Actually, it's not that you can't live without me, but more of the opposite. How about you keep me company for now, Angeline? You can head toward the safe passage later." Angeline nodded. "Alright."

Jay was afraid that she was already in a negative mindset, which would only deteriorate her health. Hence, he handed her a task. "I heard that Eldest Aunt will be going into the safe passage with you guys this time. Angeline, if you see her, just strike up a conversation with her. Although that scum, Cole, won't listen to his father, he's quite obedient toward his mother."

The pure-hearted Angeline immediately understood Jay's intentions. "Are you asking me to put in a good word for Sis Shirley? If Eldest Aunt approves of her becoming her daughter-in-law, it doesn't matter whether Cole loves Sis Shirley or not. At least Sis Shirley's life wouldn't be too difficult in the future, right?"
