Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2111

Shirley's decision seemed to have been compelled by her current circumstances, so this made her brother and sister feel very sorry for her.

Zayne angrily looked for Cole and asked, "Yorks, I'm asking you something here. Are you truly not planning on marrying our Shirley?"

Cole leisurely looked back at Zayne. He always had a casual temper. Even when his parents quarreled and decided to split, he had remained perfunctory about it. It was as if he was always wearing invincible and heavy armor.

"Is there still a need to ask me about this?" Cole said calmly.

Zayne angrily swiped a fist toward him but Cole managed to catch it. "If you can't do it, don't even start with me." As soon as Cole said this, he immediately flung off Zayne's hand.

Zayne knew he could not beat Cole, so he screamed out frantically, "Bastard! My big sister gave birth to a son for you and bitterly waited for you for so many years. Is your heart made of steel? Why aren't you in the least moved by everything she's done for you?"

Cole replied, "Love should be a two-way street; it

requires give and take. It's not enough if one person works hard for it. Don't you understand this concept?"

Zayne was huffing. "Where's your sense of responsibility? You took my sister's innocence, but you tossed her aside and stopped caring about her. Are you a f*cking man?"

Cole was getting somewhat angry from getting scolded by Zayne at this point. He abruptly stood up and scoffed. "The only thing you know how to do is ask me to take responsibility for things. Why don't you take a second to ponder how Dawn came to be in the first place?!"

Cole said helplessly, "I have no feelings for your sister. If she hadn't protected Angeline that night and did it with me, we wouldn't have ended up with a son in the first place. Even the beginning of our story started with a mistake, and I'm merely trying to stop the mistake from happening again. But you people are trying to ask me to muddle through it. Do you truly want me to consign myself to a loveless marriage? I can fulfill all of your other wishes."

Zayne roared back, "dust because you don't want to suffer any grievances, you're making my big sister suffer in your stead. Don't you know that she's now the Severe Enterprise's chairwoman? She can't avoid being accused and criticized by others. Those people are pointing at her behind her back and condemning her for giving birth to a child out of wedlock. This is the only moral stain in her life, and you're allowing a woman to silently suffer this pain. Don't you think

you're too cruel?"

Zayne was getting angrier the more he spoke and spat out all of the inner thoughts he had been keeping in his heart. "When Sis Shirley announced that she was getting married to Francis, not only did you choose not to stop her, but you so magnanimously gave her your blessing as well. Has your heart been chewed on by a dog? Do you truly think this a blessing and a joyous occasion for her? My sister doesn't have an option here. If she doesn't get married, she can't stop those rumors and criticisms. Sis Shirley doesn't want her personal matters to be a burden to Severe Enterprise, so she chose to marry Francis." Cole said, "It's better for her to marry Francis than me anyway."

Zayne was radiating with anger. "Why are you such a s c*mbag? Francis is gay. How will Sis Shirley be happy if she marries him? You've utterly destroyed my sister's life, Cole Yorks!" Cole was immediately dumbfounded.

At that moment, his armor began to disintegrate as guilt and shame forced themselves into his head.

He genuinely felt guilty toward Shirley because his father had been the one who schemed against him to be with her. It was not her fault at all.

The whole Yorks family was also guilty toward Shirley, and this was a fact.

Zayne said, "If you have a little bit of conscience,

persuade Sis Shirley to cancel the wedding."

Cole was silent for a moment before nodding in agreement.

In the evening, Shirley hurried over to Imperial Capital's Tourmaline Estate from Swallow City.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Dawn, Angel, and Joseph squatting on the ground playing together. Shirley, who initially thought that she had lost her son, stepped forward and hugged her child. She could not help but start sobbing.
