Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1716

Seeing that he was indeed getting mad, Angeline stopped her pranks. She held his hand and said emotionally, "Don't you already know how significant you are in my heart?"

Jay was sullen. He was a little unsure himself. "I know that you have a stubborn personality. If you choose to do something, you'll persevere and see it through. So I was always worried that since my parents had brought upon you so many disasters, you would perhaps... think of retreating. I was afraid that in your point of view, once a husband and wife chose each other, they'd have to finish walking on a shared path together due to responsibility and morality. Angeline, I'm scared that you're merely staying with me out of force, not because of love...."

Angeline was stunned by his words and was in a daze for a long time.

She stayed silent, and Jay could feel that his heart was about to jump out of his throat due to tension.

After long consideration, Angeline blinked her innocent glazed eyes and said, "Frankly, my feelings for you are rather complicated...."

Jay's heart was faltering.

Angeline continued again, "If I can't see you, my heart will be uneasy. And if you fall ill, I'll be deadly afraid. Moreover, I don't like it when you have a relationship with any other woman."

Angeline emphasized, "Subconsciously, I feel like you're all mine."

Jay's eyes instantly appeared more vivid now that he saw things clearly. It turned out Angeline would be jealous because of him...

"Angeline, Angeline..."

He buried his face in her neck and murmured affectionately, "I love you."

'Thank you, Angeline. For never giving up on me.'

Angeline got up from the bed and took off the masks on his face. "Alright now, it's getting late. Take a good rest, I'll be sleeping next door." Jay nodded at her.

At night, Angeline was not able to sleep soundly.

When she heard the coughs coming from next door, she would continuously get up to check on him. She had been tossing and turning the whole night.

Early in the morning, Jay's coughing became sparse, and Angeline was finally able to get some rest.

Tourmaline Estate.

At this moment, there was already an uproar.

"Where did Jay go?" Chloe roared hysterically.

Grand Old Master Yorks threw a fit of thunderous rage. "You knuckleheads! Weren't you taking care of the patient?"

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Go. Look for him, and hurry up."

Jenson merely stared at these anxious people, and there was a satirical smile in his eyes.

It had been quite some time since his daddy left Fragrant Vessel Court. They had only discovered that he was missing now. The amount of care they put toward Daddy was clearly not enough. Grand Old Master Ares accidentally caught a glimpse of Jenson's indifferent expression and regained his senses. "Jens, where's your daddy?"

Jenson replied, "Daddy's not used to living in Fragrant Vessel Court, so he went back to Carefree Garden last night."

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

Chloe mumbled, somewhat displeased. "Fragrant Vessel Court is his home. Why is he not used to living here?"

Jenson snorted and said, "What's so good about Fragrant Vessel Court? It's either haunted or people will go missing. Why would my daddy like such a dark place?"

When Jenson was little, he had gotten scared out of his wits by Chloe, who pretended to be a ghost haunting Fragrant Vessel Court. This caused him to have severe social anxiety. Moreover, Angeline had also disappeared from this place before, and she was disfigured right here as well. Fragrant Vessel Court was nothing but a nightmare for Jay.

Chloe had merely deceived herself into thinking that Jay thought of Fragrant Vessel Court as his home, and he would then love this place unconditionally.

Jenson's remarks were tantamount to insinuating Chloe of the crimes she had committed. It made Chloe feel that she had once again reached rock bottom. Her face turned dark and distorted.

Grand Old Master Ares and Grand Old Master Yorks looked at each other. Both of the old men could not help but worry about Jay's severe illness. They suggested, "Why don't we head to Carefree Garden to visit that child?"
