Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1811

As for Cole, he had always liked Angeline, so he was happy so long as he could still see her.

When Angeline stepped foot into the living room, everyone was looking at her with expectation and longingness.

Grand Old Master Yorks said, "Angeline, we've been waiting day and night. You've finally come. I know that you may not want to see us, but I still look forward to your forgiveness and understanding." Angeline walked over to Grand Old Master Yorks and said, "I'll never forgive your daughter because she went as far as to hurt Jaybie. She not only harmed Jaybie physically, but she even destroyed his powerful soul. If you've been waiting for me to forgive Chloe, then I'm sorry because I cannot do this."

Grand Old Master Yorks shuddered, and tears started flowing uncontrollably.

"I know her mistakes are unforgivable, but she's still my daughter, after all. I despise her and blame her for everything, but I cannot abandon her. Angeline, you're also a mother, so I know you can understand Grandpa's heart."

Angeline said, "There's no need to be sad, Grandpa.

Even if I can't forgive her, it doesn't mean I'll make things difficult for her."

When Grand Old Master Yorks heard her words, he heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good enough."

Cole cried out in surprise, "Why not, Angeline? She has hurt you again and again. How can you still be so tolerant of her? You should be gathering all the debts she owes you and vent out all the grievances in your heart."

Angeline walked up to Cole and handed over the wedding invitation in her hand to him. She said earnestly, "It's easier to hate someone than to love them. I love Jaybie, and it's been a difficult kind of love, I can tell you that. I've experienced death and desperate separation. Every time I was heartbroken enough to think that we were over, the heavens always magically blessed us. They would turn all the bad in our lives into good times, and we're still standing tall together after going through thousands of sails. So I think perhaps being with him is the result of these sufferings."

Cole frowned and said, "Angeline, life's not that philosophical. Many of your sufferings were brought upon you by Chloe. If she hadn't been around, you wouldn't have suffered so many catastrophes." Angeline's eyes appeared reddish. "Cole, there's no such thing as a perfect life in this world. It's a blessing to be able to piece together a somewhat perfect life.

One cannot be greedy because if we want more, we'll only lose more in the end."

Cole was in a daze.

Angeline had only come to terms with such a sad realization after suffering all of those hardships, right?

She was the Severe family's eldest daughter before. Not to mention that she was studious and beautiful as well. Not only did the Severe family's lives revolve around her, but she was also the girl whom the crown prince of Imperial Capital had loved since they were young. Now, she was remarkably facing the world in such a clear-headed manner.

What about him?

Should he not be learning from her sobriety and her acceptance in compromising with life?

Spencer strolled toward Angeline as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Ultimately, he mustered up the courage to say, "Angeline, I guess you must've heard about what happened between Sandra and me. If it hadn't been for Love Potion, I would've never done anything sorry to your Aunt Crystal. I merely hope that you can help me in persuading your Aunt Crystal to come back to me. We're not young anymore, and we don't have much time left together. I just hope we won't miss out on more of our time with each other..." At this moment, Spencer's voice sounded a little choked up.

"What about Aunt Sandra?" Angeline asked.

Spencer said, "Her punishment will be handed to the Areses. It's impossible for me and her to be together again."

Angeline nodded. "I got it."

"Where's Chloe? I'd like to see her," asked Angeline.

Cole said, "Come with me. I'll bring you to her."

Angeline followed Cole into a small storage room on the first floor.

Cole opened the door, and Angeline hesitated for a moment before walking in.

The storage room was tiny, and it had a single bed inside. As Chloe had gotten injured a few days ago, doctors would come to change the bandages on her wound from time to time. The room was filled with a strong smell of ointment.

One of Chloe's feet was chained to the leg of the bed. When Chloe saw Angeline, she quickly turned her face away, too embarrassed to look at her.

Angeline sat on the chair next to the bed, feeling slightly at a loss. "I've stayed in this room before, and I was linked to this iron chain as well. The difference is that I was in a good frame of mind at the time while you're looking depressed."
