Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1653

On the third floor, Francis placed his hands on the wall in the dim corridor, confining Shirley in a narrow space.

Shirley was in between laughter and tears. "Are we not done with the act?"

Francis shushed her. "Listen, someone's coming."

Shirley was slightly stunned as Francis' gaze shifted toward the top of the stairs. Seeing the black leather shoes walking out of the elevator doors, he leaned over to kiss Shirley's neck.

Cole saw Francis and Shirley who were plastered against the wall, and his handsome face became filled with frost. "What are the two of you doing?"

Francis raised his gaze and wiped his mouth as if he was unsatisfied. Then, he looked at Cole resentfully." Hey there, brother, are you perhaps blind? We're lovers making out passionately. Why are you making a fuss?"

Cole walked over, and his eyes fell on Shirley's face. "Do you really like him?"

Shirley forced herself to nod repeatedly.

Cole sneered at her, "Then, what was the point of you deliberately moving into my villa in Mount Pearl?"

Shirley raised her glistening pupils and bit her lip while saying, "I wanted Dawn to have a dad, and you were the most suitable candidate. However, you had promptly refused me. I can only choose someone else now."

Cole's eyes turned dark. "I'll give you a lot of money. You and Dawn can live your lives without relying on other men."

Francis touched his chin and had a shrewd thought." Shir, did you hear that? He's giving you a lot of money. We can use his money to expand my company... Rest assured, I'll give you and Dawn a good life." Cole could not tolerate Shirley using his money to raise a good-for-nothing man. He suddenly waved his fist at Francis. "I hate men who live off a woman the most."

Francis' eyes were immediately bruised like a panda's.

Shirley hurriedly went between Cole and Francis, using the child in her arms as a shield. She said furiously, "If you want to hit him, then just hit my baby and me first. We're the ones who have to rely on others to live."

Cole did not expect that Shirley would use the child as a shield to protect a sappy man. He was so indignant that he felt a pang in his heart and said furiously," You're despicable, Shirley Severe." Shirley smiled at him instead. "Why are you angry at me for looking for a boyfriend?"

Cole was dumbfounded.

Shirley questioned him again, "You're the one who said you want nothing to do with Dawn and me. Are you regretting it now?"

Cole was dumbstruck once more.

Shirley continued with a stern face, "Young Master Yorks, I thought about marrying you before so that Dawn could have a complete family. But now, I no longer have such an idea in mind because becoming a daughter-in-law in the Yorks family is the worst thing that could happen to a woman. I'd rather marry any Tom, Dick, or Harry than marry a Yorks. So please keep your promise and keep your distance from me." Once Shirley was done, she carried the baby with her and left.

Cole looked at Shirley in disbelief. Was that woman showing utter despise toward him?

When Shirley walked toward the stairs, she happened to stumble into Grand Old Master Yorks who was heading upstairs to look for Cole. Grand Old Master Yorks had heard every word Shirley said earlier, and he was instantly rooted in place. 1

He had always been intensely proud of his precious grandson. He had good looks, many talents, and an unruly disposition. He was simply the man of many women's dreams. However, he had just been rejected by an orphan?
