Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2109

Angeline said somewhat disappointedly, "Truthfully, I always hoped that you and Sis Shirley would end up together. Not just because you have a child together, but because she truly likes you. You'll always have a special place in her heart, and now that the two of you are parting ways, I just feel that it's a great pity."

Jay embraced Angeline and said, "Don't be sad, Angeline. So many people in this world part ways almost every day, but you can rest assured that Jaybie and you will never be separated."

Afterward, he looked at Cole very smugly and said with some hidden meaning, "I'll always protect you and will never allow anyone to come between us."

Cole stared at him speechlessly and said, "I simply can't stand you. Stop trying to throw hints at me so frequently."

Jay said, "I wasn't doing that at all. Stop assuming things on your own."

Cole was so angry that he stopped replying to Jay.

However, Jay added fuel to the fire and said, "Sis Shirley and Francis are getting married now, so you're trying to take Dawn's custody from her. But how are you planning on doing that? Sis Shirley is no longer

the old Shirley Severe. She's now Severe Enterprise's chairman and has the resources to bring up Dawn. On the contrary, you have plenty of wealth as the young master of the Yorks family but do you dare disclose your family's wealth in court? You don't. Hence, in the eyes of the law, you're merely a parasite who has no job nor income and who's still living with the support of your parents. So as for the custody battle, there's no need for you to take it to court. I already know that you'll lose."

What Jay uttered might be unpleasant to hear, but it was logical. However, Cole was determined to win as well, saying, "It doesn't matter whatever goes down. I'll not hand Dawn over to Shirley, let alone allow him to call another man his daddy. I'll fight for Dawn's custody no matter what it takes."

Cole's resoluteness in not sparing a single cost to win this was making Angeline feel restless.

Although the Severes had a huge business now, how could they fight against the Yorks' more or less darker and illegal methods?

Cole proceeded to plead with Angeline, "Angeline, the only person I'm worried about after leaving Imperial Capital is Dawn. I know very well that children who get put into a new family will mostly live their lives pessimistically or depressively. So I'm asking you to take care of my kid for my sake."

Angeline knew that the trip to Sacred Land would be unpredictable, and she did not want Cole to leave with any regrets. Hence, she replied to him reluctantly," Don't worry. I'll treat Dawn as my own and raise him to be healthy, optimistic, and confident like Angel."

Upon receiving Angeline's word for it, Cole finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Cole left, Angeline hurriedly gave Shirley a call. She wanted to know if the information about Shirley and Francis' marriage was real.

Who would have guessed that as soon as her call got through, Sis Shirley invited her to the wedding. "Little Angeline, I'm getting married. It's going to be held next month on the 28th."

Angeline felt like she was struck by lightning.

"Is it with Francis, Sis Shirley?"

"Yeah."

"Do you love him?" Angeline was somewhat stirred up.

Shirley smiled bitterly and said, "You already know that some people aren't destined to have love in their lives."

"Why did you make such a hasty decision, Sis Shirley?" Angeline kept feeling like something odd was going on.

"After falling ill, Francis was the one who took care of me day and night. I started thinking that isn't the essence of love finding someone who will share joys and sorrows with you and a person who'll live with you together for life? Since I've already met someone who will do all of that with me, there's no need to waste more time. I'm 40, Angeline. I can't wait any longer."

Angeline muttered, "I respect any decision you make, Sis Shirley. But what about Dawn?"
