Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) -
Chapter 1652
Her beauty was subtle and elegant, akin to fine wine. The longer one's eyes lingered on her, the better she looked.
Amidst many staring eyes, Francis walked toward Shirley while holding a bouquet of bright-colored glistening roses.
"Fresh flowers for the beautiful lady, Shir? And this list of gifts is for the darling baby." Francis' voice was gentle as water, and his eyes were full of affection. Anyone could see that this was an embodiment of passion that only couples in love would have.
Shirley was slightly taken aback, but Francis pulled her into his embrace and placed his mouth near her ear. He whispered, "Play along, Sis Shirley."
Shirley smiled sweetly and picked up the gift list. She browsed through it, and her face instantly turned embarrassed.
"Rolls-Royce Phantom, Florid Allure City single-family villa, a helicopter..." Shirley's tongue was getting more and more twisted as she read the list.
The degree of grandeur was too unrealistic.
Feeling somewhat guilty, Shirley glanced at Cole who stood not far away. Cole's lips were curled into a
malicious smile. He placed his wine glass down and walked over.
Shirley abruptly placed the baby into Francis' arms and said in a guilty yet bashful tone, "Francis, you really shouldn't have given Dawn such expensive gifts."
Francis smiled and said, "I'm soon to be Dawn's stepfather, so of course, I have to splurge more on him. Don't worry, Shir. I'll treat Dawn as my own."
Zayne stirred up the atmosphere and took the lead to shout, "Kiss, kiss, kiss..."
The scene went out of control in an instant.
Francis and Shirley looked like lobsters on a barbeque as they looked at each other with crimson faces. On a whim, Francis suddenly placed his fingers on Shirley's lips and leaned over to kiss her. It was an indirect kiss, but it was still slightly unacceptable for a conservative girl like Shirley.
Cole looked at the two people who did not budge for quite some time, and his expression turned colder.
Zayne deliberately stood in front of Cole, preventing him from noticing that Sis Shirley and Francis were merely kissing indirectly. Then, he jeered, "Sis Shirley, Brother-in-law, I've booked a room upstairs for you guys. Go ahead and get a good rest."
After Francis left with Shirley, Zayne turned around to look at Cole provocatively. "Master Yorks, don't worry about it. Even if you're not around, Francis will take good care of my sister and Dawn."
Cole's eyes were fixated on Francis and Shirley who were leaving, and his hands clenched into fists.
Zayne realized that this seemingly gentle and elegant young man was a person who had destroyed the Areses in the past. Cold, merciless blood was flowing in his veins.
He should not be trying so hard to offend him.
Zayne thought that it would be best for him to escape far away from Cole right now.
Carson looked at his young master who had gotten angry so abruptly and could sense he was genuinely fuming at this moment. Carson asked him, somewhat puzzled, "Young Master, since you're the one that has decided never to meddle with the mother and son in this lifetime, then why are you angry about Shirley finding another man?"
Cole was baffled. Carson was right. Why should he be angry about it?
"I'm angry that she found an unreliable daddy for Dawn."
"Unreliable? That's not what I'm seeing!" Carson said in confusion.
Cole rolled his eyes at him.
Carson pointed upstairs to remind Cole. "Young Master, Francis had some drinks earlier. If he truly makes a move on Sis Shirley under the influence, then he'll surely be Dawn's daddy very soon." Cole turned around and walked upstairs.
