Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1644

Jay tasted the tea and could tell that it was premium tea. He took a sip and put down the cup.

He then poured another glass of water for Angeline and handed it to her. "Want to drink?"

Angeline took it and moved it to her mouth with quivering hands. Jay held the teacup with his hands, afraid that Angeline would break it.

The old woman looked fixedly at Angeline with enquiring eyes.

"How long has she been ill?"

Jay glossed it over. "Twice, but it won't last long. Angeline is very brave and will overcome the illness by herself."

The old woman nodded with a smile.

She did not doubt a word that Jay said. "With your meticulous care, I'm sure she'll get better very soon."

After a pause, the old woman suddenly asked, "She has gastrointestinal problems?"

Jay looked at the old woman in astonishment. If she was not a professional, how would she know that depression could also trigger gastrointestinal problems?

The old woman did not give an explanation, but instead, she walked into the house and came back out with a bag of oats. She handed it to Jay, saying, "Take these oats home and make some for her every day. If she can't eat, then make her drink. This will help with her gastrointestinal problems."

Jay would not normally turn down anything that could potentially help Angeline.

"Thank you, Granny." Jay was very grateful to the old woman.

The old woman took out a chessboard, placed it on the stone table, and said, "My husband loves to play chess, but I'm terrible at it. Sir, I can see that you're a really wise man. Can you play a game of chess with my husband?"

Jay hesitated. He was a little worried. What was Angeline supposed to do if he was focused on playing chess?

The old woman said, "Don't worry, I'll keep this child company. It will be better than her lying in your arms all the time."

Jay was skeptical, but the old woman had stretched out her hand lovingly.

For some odd reason, Angeline took her hand and stepped on the ground. She staggered a few steps and sat on a wooden stool not far away.

Jay fixed his gaze on Angeline the whole time, but when he saw her calm demeanor when she sat with the old woman, he slowly set his mind at ease.

Jay began playing chess with the old man, and even though he was distracted, he still managed to play chess in an extremely sophisticated way.

The old man stared at the chessboard and started pondering about it seriously.

On the other side, Angeline looked at the old lady with innocent eyes. She was probably more than 80 years old now yet still looked extremely robust and healthy. Looking at her wrinkled face, Angeline could vaguely make out her beautiful face from her youth.

Angeline squinted her eyes and stared at her for a very long time, and for some reason, the old woman's face turned into Jay's face.

Why did their facial features look so strikingly similar?

"Tell me, my child, what's your name?"

"Baby," Angeline replied without thinking.

That was what Jay had been calling her lately!

"Oh!" The old lady knew that this was only Jay's nickname for Angeline. It was probably not her real name.

"Do you like him?" the old lady asked.

Angeline nodded without thinking.

The old grandma smiled. "I can see that he's very

worried about you. He's really good to you. You must be really happy."

A dark shadow flashed across Angelina's eyes. Was she happy?

Her happiness was built on Jaybie's pain, though?

She shook her head hard...
