Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1761

Jay would never have thought that he was capable of doing such absolutely disgraceful actions yesterday evening. Even though Angeline had forgiven him, it was not easy for him to forgive himself. After all, how hard must it have been on Angeline to know that he had been unfaithful?

Jay felt immensely guilty toward Angeline. Tears were welled up in his crimson eyes. He held her tightly but could not say a word.

Angeline sensed how remorseful he was and patted him on the back, soothing him. "It's alright now. I forgive you. Just try and avoid her from now on."

Jay said quietly, "Angeline, I might be having auditory hallucinations."

Angeline looked at him in astonishment. A considerable panic appeared in her eyes.

Jay continued, "I don't want you to worry about my body. But I don't want you to misunderstand me even more. Jaybie is not a half-hearted person who'd be unfaithful."

It was the lesser of two evils!

Jay chose to tell the truth because the truth would be less harmful to Angeline than such a

misunderstanding.

Angeline tried to recall Jay's behavior toward Judy last night. It did feel a little strange when she thought about it now.

Jay had always acted so cautiously. If he genuinely did plan to cheat on her with Judy, why would he come to the entrance of Chateau de Selene and flirt so openly with her? Judging by his shrewdness, he would not have left a trace of evidence.

Moreover, how he touched Judy's head last night...

Was that not the same intimate action he often did to her?

Angeline was slightly in disbelief, but she felt that this was the only reasonable explanation if she were to recall all the details that happened yesterday. "When did it start?" Angeline was getting worried.

Jay said in a daze, "I don't know. I came out of Fragrant Vessel Court yesterday and heard you calling out to me. I remember you coming to pick me up." Angeline was so shocked that she could feel beads of cold sweat on her back.

She touched Jay's forehead. "I didn't pick you up. I don't dare to step a foot inside the compound of Fragrant Vessel Court. Jaybie, I think you need to see a doctor."

Jay noticed how nervous she was getting. He was worried about Angeline's body and forced a smile to comfort her. "Angeline, I'm probably too tired lately. I'll be fine after a few days' rest." Angeline heaved a heavy sigh.

It made sense. Some time ago, she had that Godforsaken depression that made Jay unable to even get a wink of sleep. He was constantly on high alert as well. Then, after her depression got better, Jay's body broke down and he got himself pneumonia. Right after he recovered from pneumonia, his mother got sick again. Since he was constantly in the hospital to care for her, he was undoubtedly not well- rested.

Angeline felt distressed for Jay. "Jaybie, I think you're perhaps too tired. It's no wonder you were in a trance. I think you need a good rest."

Jay hugged Angeline and placed his chin on her neck. He sounded tired as he said, "Angeline, please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Now that the misunderstanding had been resolved, Angeline was starting to feel distressed for him instead. How could she be willing to continue to argue with him?

It hurt more to constantly get angry, after all!

"Okay, I'm not angry anymore." Angeline extended her fingers into his thick and flowing hair as if she was soothing a newborn baby. The gentleness was intoxicating.

"Try to have a good rest these few days and don't go over to Fragrant Vessel Court anymore. I believe if Mom knows that there's something wrong with your health, she'll be understanding of your difficulties as well."

Jay pleaded, "Then, you should give me a kiss."

He had to confirm that Angeline had truly forgiven him.

It was as if a fluttering butterfly possessed Angeline. She flapped her wings and landed a kiss on his cheeks. The kiss then lingered for quite some time.
