Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) -
Chapter 1855
Jay lifted his hand and knocked on the door.
Angeline's nervous voice was heard saying, "Come in."
Jay was slightly startled, and he coldly glared at Jenson and Baby Robbie.
Jenson and Baby Robbie quickly escaped the scene...
At this moment, Jay realized that Angeline was not the one who was making things difficult for him. It was Josephine and Zayne who had urged the children to be in cahoots with them. "I'll deal with the two of you later," said Jay.
Jay opened the door and entered. Angeline was sitting on the bed obediently, her white wedding dress blooming like a holy lotus flower. Her delicate and picturesque eyes were looming under the veil. The diamond hair accessories and the white jade jewelry she wore perfectly complemented each other. With the accessories, Angeline looked even more ethereal than a fairy. From a distance, she looked like a princess who was out of reach.
Jay always knew that his Angeline was beautiful, but he never knew that if she were to put this much effort into dressing up, she would become so drop-dead gorgeous. Her dark hair, in contrast with her white wedding dress and jewelry, made her appear loftier than any vintage paintings.
Jay slowly walked toward Angeline. Due to her lack of sleep recently and her excitement last night, her long eyelashes were fluttering like a feather fan at this moment. Her eyes had turned somewhat hazy as well.
Jay squatted in front of her, looking at her charming and lovely appearance. He could not help but laugh.
"Angeline," he called out softly.
Angeline teased him while pouting her pink lips," Why were you late, Jaybie? I've been waiting for you for a long time." After speaking, she threw herself into his arms.
Jay hugged her tightly as if he was holding his entire world. He smiled, and happiness overflowed from his body.
"They blocked Jaybie's path, so I was late," he explained.
Angeline instantly woke up from her drowsiness and said furiously, "Who blocked you from coming in? We're finally getting married now, and someone tried to stop you? Who was it? I'll have a row with them." Jay smiled and said, "Who else would it be other than your brother? But don't be angry, they have no malicious intent. They were just trying to take advantage of me and extort some money."
Only then did Angeline remember that she had prepared some pocket money to thank them for all their trouble. She had placed them into little envelopes and stacked them onto a tray. Angeline said, "I prepared these last night. You can go and distribute them to the others as gifts."
Jay took one and tried to feel it. He wondered why it was relatively flat. He asked curiously, "How much did you put inside?"
"200," said Angeline.
Jay was petrified.
"Isn't that too little?" Jay felt that since the Ares family was the wealthiest family in Imperial Capital, they should be giving out more as gratitude.
Angeline tried reasoning with him. "It's a lot. No one else would give out money when they get married."
Jay frowned. "Well, that's a standard for lower-income families."
Angeline was immediately dumbfounded. "Well, I've never really attended a lot of weddings either. And every time I go to one, they don't have the practice of handing out money for helping out. Perhaps I've forgotten that the weddings I attended were not the Ares family's type of weddings."
Looking at her dazed expression, Jay smiled and said, "It's alright. You've even wrapped them so nicely, so let's not waste them. Let's pass these to the city folks watching the wedding later. How does that sound?"
Angeline said, "Go ahead and arrange for it."
Then, she asked somewhat weakly, "Then, how much does the Ares family usually give out for those who helped out?"
Jay said, "I handed out two Amex black cards just to come in."
Angeline was dumbstruck.
She clenched her chest and said with heartache, "If I knew this would happen, I would've stood at the gate to wait for you. Why did I give them a chance to blackmail you? Oh God, two black cards? How much have you wasted?"
Jay touched her little nose and smiled. "Are you the reincarnation of Eugenie Grandet? If we don't spend a little money on our wedding, when else would we be able to spend our money? Besides, Jaybie is more than willing to spend a little extra for you."
Angeline said, "But your money is my money. And the money you're spending is mine."
Jay,
"Alright, alright. Jaybie will earn a lot more money for you next time, okay?"
Angeline replied, "I don't want you to work so hard. I'd rather we live a frugal life than you working so hard just to earn money for me."
