Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1667

The diary had thoroughly changed Angeline's perspective. It had turned Angeline from a weak patient into a strong wife. It changed her from being so aimless and passive into a strong female character who actively sought to survive and wanted to embrace the world.

Angeline cried for a long time before ultimately opening the bedroom door. Jay was still standing near it for God knew how long now.

When Angeline noticed his reddened eyes, it was evident that he had been crying earlier. Thinking about how he was a man who was barely afraid of death but was now deadly terrified of his wife getting sick and dying, Angeline felt that she was the luckiest person in the world. She slowly walked toward him and hugged his waist, inching deeper into his embrace.

"Darling," she called out emotionally.

Jay was stunned. Angeline had the habit of calling him Jaybie since they were young. Why did she suddenly change it?

Angeline raised her head. "I'll call you darling from now on."

Jay squinted his enchanting eyes. "As long as you like it."

Angeline asked him, "Don't you want to know the reason?"

Jay simply felt that 'darling' was a bit too common. It was not that worthy of Angelina's uniqueness.

Angeline explained, "The old granny and grandpa across the street call each other that, and they're living to a ripe old age together. I think it's sweet."

Jay instantly had an epiphany. Was Angeline calling him that so they would end up like the old couple across the street? Was she also hoping that they would grow old together?

As if all of their obstructions had been dredged, Jay hugged Angeline and kissed her lips.

"I like it when you call me that," said Jay.

Angeline hugged him and nodded with a smile.

"Mmm."

Their quarrel was akin to a storm; it came quietly and went away silently.

After their kiss, Jay sat on the sofa as he embraced Angeline. Then, he looked suspiciously at her with his charming eyes. "Why did you say I look like the granny?"

Angeline was stunned. It seemed like Jay had not realized that the granny who lived across the street

was the famous Mr. Boye.

Angeline held her hands out and stroked Jay's cheeks with her warm fingers, then tracing his delicate eyebrows. "I often secretly think to myself, what will you look like when you're older?" Jay smiled. "I look like my dad, so I'm guessing I'll look a lot like him when I'm older."

"Although you and Dad look very similar, the two of you had different experiences and different lives. It'd certainly change how you look. Your father has been imprisoned for many years, so his heart is slightly darker and more bitter. Your mother seems to care less about him and spends more energy on you, so I'm guessing he's rather lonely." Angeline suddenly wrapped her arms around Jay's neck. "And I won't make you feel lonely."

Jay could feel his heart overflowing with the sweet taste of spring. "I know that my dear Angeline will always be living inside my heart. That's why I'll never be lonely."

Angeline blinked her obsidian pupils. Her face was as smooth as jade, beautiful without any blemishes." Darling, if I'm the only one inside your heart, will you truly not feel lonely?"

Jay was slightly startled. What was Angeline implying?

Did she want him to reaccept those affections that had once destroyed her?

Jay said, "I will not. Having you is more than enough for me."

One could tell he was somewhat evading her eyes.

Angeline held his face and forced him to look at her." Darling, I'm very grateful for the sacrifices you've made for me. But I love you, and I don't want you to lose everything just for me. On the contrary, I hope you'll gain more because of me. This is the correct way to love someone."

Jay swallowed his saliva. "So, are you trying to persuade me to return to Imperial Capital?" 1

Angeline nodded. "I just want you to know that I'm not against going back."

However, Jay was very resistant and outright rejected her. "No. We can't go back to Imperial Capital now. Your body hasn't fully recovered, and I can't guarantee that my mother will sincerely accept you. I can't let you take risks before all the uncertainties have been resolved."
