Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1766

Jay immediately declined. "Grandpa, Zayne needs to manage the Severe family's company. And Josephine is pregnant, so she has limited mobility. Don't bother them for now." He despised those two for third-wheeling all the time.

Grand Old Master Ares looked at Jay in confusion. "It seems like you're not being very welcoming?"

Angeline started chuckling.

"Grandpa, Jaybie and Zayne don't seem to see eye to eye. They're always quarreling whenever they meet."

Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, "That's good. Ask Zayne and Josie to come to visit. That way, Jay can increase his social skills."

Jay stared at his grandfather speechlessly. "I don't need help improving my social skills."

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Is that so? I was the one who brought you up. I think I know you best."

Jay stared at the ceiling speechlessly.

Even if he needed help in that area, it was a thing of the past.

Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, "I thought you were autistic as a child. You were constantly bitter

and harbored deep hatred toward everyone as if they had done something wrong. You sure had me worried... and I had to tease you almost every day for you to start talking..."

Perhaps due to this reason, Grand Old Master Ares still retained the habit of teasing Jay to make him talk even after so many years.

Jay was suffering in silence. "That's because I had nothing to say to other people."

He had such an arrogant character that he did not want to cater to worldly matters and would refuse to talk if he did not want to.

"You have nothing to say to other people, hmm? Isn't that what they call social anxiety?" said Grand Old Master Ares.

Jay looked at Angeline on the side and smiled. "That's not necessarily true. I want to talk whenever I see my dear Angeline."

Grand Old Master Ares smiled and said, "That's true. It was an odd event. You suddenly became a chatterbox the day you met Angeline. You talked to her in the study for a long time that day. It truly startled me."

Grand Old Master Ares showed a deep, sly smile. "I had to plead with Scott to let him betroth his granddaughter to you."

Angeline widened her eyes...

After all, she was a child who was still wet behind her ears at the time. However, those two older adults were already conspiring these out-of-age matters.

"My grandpa didn't agree to it, right?" Angeline asked.

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Of course, he did. He unreservedly accepted it. Otherwise, how'd you end up living in the Ares household later on... I deliberately created opportunities for the two of you to get to know each other more."

Angeline, "..."

Jay abruptly placed a piece of shrimp on Grand Old Master Ares' plate, and Grand Old Master Ares immediately rolled his eyes at him. "Now you finally know how good Grandpa was to you?" Jay said proudly, "I would've gotten her even without your help."

Grand Old Master Ares said, "Just drop it, will you? Even if you liked Angeline, you would've been too embarrassed to pursue her with your dull character. Angeline is so beautiful and cute, and if Grandpa hadn't booked her for you, she would've been swayed by other boys."

Angeline,

It seemed like he was saying she was an easily swayable girl.

Jay looked at Angeline. "Is that so?"

Angeline shook her head quickly. "I'm not that easily swayed."

Jay smiled at her.
