Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1715

In the evening, Jay was no longer as clingy and even tried coaxing Angeline. "I'll cough continuously at night. It might affect your rest. Why don't you sleep in the next bedroom, Angeline?" Angeline shook her head and refused him resolutely." No. You're a patient, so I can't leave you here all alone."

Jay used his trump card, saying, "Hey now. Be a good girl. I'll be all better tomorrow when you wake up."

In the past, Angeline would have melted when she heard these words, and this sentence would have made her obey his every word.

Now, Angeline merely squeezed out a bright smile at him. When she uttered her following sentence, her tone was firmer than before, "No, I'll sleep with you."

Afterward, Angeline jumped onto the bed and lay down beside him without taking off her clothes.

Jay sat up in a panic and stared at Angeline blankly.

If he had known that he would not be able to deal with the troubles Angeline would cause at night, he would not have begged to return to Carefree Garden with her. "Angeline, you have weak immunity. You'll get infected if you stick so close to me," said Jay sharply.

Angeline suddenly leaned forward, trying to shut his nagging mouth with hers.

Jay was so startled that his pupils shrank as he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand. Angeline's kiss landed on the back of his hand instead.

"Angeline, I can't sleep if you're here," he muttered endlessly.

"When did you become so talkative?"

After Angeline said this, she deliberately closed her eyes and let out a snore. The sound was thunderous.

Jay was in between laughter and tears.

He picked up the face mask on the bedside table. After putting on two layers of medical surgical masks, he lay down next to Angeline.

Angeline noticed he was no longer pushing her away, so she secretly opened her eyes and peeked at him. Then she found out Jay was looking at her from time to time. A trace of helpless frustration shrouded his handsome face.

However, upon seeing him wearing two surgical masks, his breathing sounds were slightly heavier, perhaps due to his respiratory disease. Angeline decided to surrender. "Fine, fine. I'll go away after talking to you for a while longer, alright?"

Jay was immediately more relieved.

Those sharp and cold eagle eyes were now filled with a tender smile, and his heart had softened into a lump.

Angeline still wanted to cling to him even when he was sick, and it made him feel utterly moved.

The scene reminded him of when he was Ben back in a fishing village. He had rashes all over his body due to allergies. The ignorant fishermen thought that he had caught an incurable disease and therefore alienated him. At the time, even Marilyn had stayed far away from him.

However, when Angeline saw his rashes, her first reaction was not to alienate herself from him but hold his hand and check the symptoms repeatedly. She completely ignored the potential harm the unknown disease could bring her.

Angeline's love and care for him were based on trust and her selflessness.

Suddenly, he could no longer hold himself back and reached out to gently stroke Angeline's cheek. A gentle smile appeared in his eyes as he sighed." Angeline, the proudest thing I've done in my life is probably being able to marry you."

Angeline smiled blissfully but still teased him playfully. "Sigh. I blame myself for being fooled by you. Otherwise, I would've had the chance to date around."

Jay's smile froze... His voice turned icy cold. "Are you itching for a spank?"

Angeline looked at Jay. "Are you willing to hit me?"

He was not.

Jay suddenly asked in a severe tone, "Angeline, have you ever regretted being with me?"

Angeline pretended to give it a thought. "Let me think."

Jay was getting angry. "Angeline...."
