Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1725

In the study.

There was the sound of Jay coughing from time to time as well as the sounds of Angeline and him bickering.

"Where are they?"

"I don't remember where I put them."

"Get out of my way."

"No way."

Jay picked Angeline up and placed her on the desk. As he was turning around to look through the bookcase, Angeline hugged him tightly and exclaimed, "Ahhhhh! Let go of me! Let me go!"

"Don't mess around," Jay said tenderly.

"I'm not..." Angeline held onto him tightly.

Jay was in between laughter and tears. "Then let go of me."

"I will not. I'll never let you go in this lifetime," said Angeline.

Jay looked helplessly at the little woman who wrapped herself around him. The words she said about never letting him go in this lifetime had utterly

brightened and dazzled up his mood.

"Why don't you want to show them to me?" Jay asked softly.

Angeline replied, "I was so ugly."

Jay rubbed on her soft hair and comforted her, saying, "I won't dislike you because of it."

"It's too ugly... My belly was huge." Angeline shook her head.

Jay was even more curious about what Angeline looked like when she was pregnant. "I want to see the photos, Angeline," pleaded Jay.

Angeline looked at his soft, puppy-like gaze and could no longer endure it. Jay had always portrayed himself as a strong, robust man. As such, this cute side of his was rarely shown. Angeline's heart turned soft and she said, "Fine."

She took out two photo albums from the locker on the bottom of the bookcase and returned to Jay's side with them.

Jay's pupils turned brighter as he took the albums excitedly. He could not wait any longer to have a look at the photos. When he flipped over to the first photo, Jay was slightly surprised to see Angeline's appearance.

At that time, she was still living as Rose Foyle.

She lived in a shabby rental room with various

disguise props on her dressing table.

Jay felt somewhat heartbroken. How could he have let Angeline live in such a shabby place? Moreover, she was pregnant at the time.

Angeline proudly boasted to him, saying, "At that time, you issued a wanted warrant for me and all of

Imperial Capital was looking for me. But you never expected that I'd be living in Coastal Water Street. It wasn't very far from Grand Asia either."

Tears flickered in Jay's eyes. "I must've forced you to be at the end of your rope." He felt like slapping himself a couple of times.

"Angeline, you must've been bored, right?" he asked in distress.

Angeline pointed to the props on the dressing table." How could I be? I put on makeup whenever I headed out and I was able to go sightseeing like a normal person every day..."

Jay looked at Angelina's proud and lovable small face. He was grateful that he had not caused her indelible harm.

"I'm so sorry, Angeline. I used to be... such a jerk!" Jay said shamefully. Then, he inquired very solemnly," Have you ever hated me?"

Angeline held his face and said, "I can't even love you enough just yet. How could I ever hate you? But I did feel slightly sad back then."

Jay smiled at her bitterly.

He flipped to the second photo.

At the time this photo was taken, Rose's belly was already slightly bulging, but her waist was still slender. If her figure was seen from the back, it would not show that she was four months pregnant. Jay frowned and said with a heartache, "Why were you so thin?"

He thought pregnant women were supposed to be rounder?

Angeline had a severe reaction to her pregnancy at the time, so she was still on the thin side then.

Angeline calmly replied, "I didn't have a good appetite for the first three months, so I didn't gain any weight. But later on, I did get chubbier."
