Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 1957

Angeline indignantly retorted, "You're trying to justify Tammy Sue's actions."

"I'm not." Jay did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"You're trying to shove false information down my throat."

Jay,"..."

Angeline said in a huff, "I'm sleeping with Baby Zetty tonight."

Then, she pushed him away and got out of the bed to walk out.

Jay's long legs landed on the ground, and he caught up with Angeline in just a few steps. He quickly hugged Angeline tightly into his embrace and apologized in a low voice, "Don't be angry, okay? I'm not excusing Tammy's behavior, but I merely think that as parents, we shouldn't be meddling with the children's affairs."

Angeline was protective of them, so hearing Jay's words, not only did her anger remain, but he even made it worse.

She snarled at him. "What are you trying to say? Are you saying I'm meddling too much?"

Then, she jabbed Jay's chest in a rage while scoffing."

I didn't say anything about your lack of care toward our children, yet you mind that I care about them?"

It was Jay's first time experiencing Angeline's capricious hard-headedness, and it was as if whatever he said or did at the moment would not be able to satisfy her wishes.

Jay was baffled as he said, "Okay, okay. Don't be angry. You're still pregnant with a child, and being mad is not good for the baby. How about this? Jaybie will listen to all your instructions in the future. Whatever you say goes. Okay?"

He thought that his humbleness would be exchanged with Angeline's sympathy. Unexpectedly, Angeline was able to find a flaw in his words and fumingly said, "So you're only obedient to me because of the baby in my stomach? Are you saying if I weren't pregnant, you wouldn't listen to any of my words?"

Jay was dumbfounded.

He could not fathom the situation. Was Angeline perhaps emotionally irritable because of her pregnancy? Or perhaps mommies who were upholding their children's interest were usually akin to a hedgehog itself? In any case, Angeline's current demeanor was making him feel utterly at a loss.

Ultimately, he gave up preaching logic to Angeline and merely said in an immensely affectionate manner, "I love you, Angeline."

Then, he hugged her from behind and extended his hand to gently pinch her chin. His soft movements were finally able to calm Angeline down slowly.

She sighed sorrowfully. "Don't you know how much pain Baby Zetty must be in right now?"

Jay proceeded to murmur emotionally, "I do, Angeline. I often think that perhaps Baby Zetty loves Finn as deeply as I love you. If that's the case, then Baby Zetty's current tribulations are no different from the grief I felt when I had to say goodbye to you."

Angeline looked at him with hidden bitterness. "Then how can you willingly allow Zetty to live through her days so painfully?"

Jay replied, "There are some ordeals that you simply cannot escape from."

Angeline was somewhat curious as she asked, "Then how'd you escape your sufferings back then?" She felt that perhaps Baby Zetty could learn from Jay. Since Jay could walk out of that catastrophe unscathed, he certainly had a lot of experience in that area.

Jay's mind returned to the time when Angeline had gotten into that car accident, and his pupils abruptly shrunk from the stab of pain it brought him.

Angeline could feel that his whole body had started quivering and looked up to meet his gaze. By lucky coincidence, she was able to witness the gloomy shadow in his eyes.

Angeline felt shocked by this. He was merely recalling that period, yet he was able to feel this much pain?

She could not begin to imagine how he managed to spend his days all those years ago.

"I want to know, Jaybie." Angeline's voice became softer. All her anger and hostility had disappeared.

"I kept feeling like your spirit was still by my side, and I imagined that you were still with me every day... You were eating with me, sleeping with me, and going to work with me." Angeline stared at him blankly...

Jay laughed at himself mockingly. "I was quite certain that I had gone completely insane, but I wished that I would never return to normal."

Angeline felt utterly heartbroken for him and replied," I'm sorry it was so hard for you, Jaybie."
