Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2112

Angeline looked at Sis Shirley. After not seeing her for quite some time, she realized that Shirley's temperament had gotten classier and more grand. It was as if she had been refined into perfection, and even her delicate appearance looked more resolute now.

"Now that you're getting more tenacious, Sis Shirley, it makes me feel so happy for you."

Shirley forced out a bitter laugh and said, "Being a mother is making me stronger, that's all."

The sisters had finally reunited after a long time, so naturally, they had to sit together and catch up over cups of coffee.

Since Sis Shirley did not see her brother-in-law or Josie and Zayne, it made her ask curiously, "Where are the others?"

Angeline said, "Tomorrow, Jaybie, Zayne, and Cole are all leaving Imperial Capital. They went to bid farewell to Grandpa."

Shirley's eyes reddened slightly as she asked, "Then when will they come back?"

Angeline replied to her quietly, "No one knows where Sacred Land is, so no one knows when exactly they'll b

e back."

Shirley's tears welled up in her eyes. "He and I aren't destined for one another after all."

Angeline felt sorry for her and said, "Sis Shirley, if you truly like him, then give him another chance."

Shirley shook her head and said, "I've been on a oneway street this whole time. I've always been the one running toward him, and I'm so tired of it."

"How about letting me run toward you from now on. Is that okay?"

A gentle yet devastated voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Shirley stood up in shock. She turned around and saw Cole holding a large bouquet of bright fresh roses. He was staggeringly walking toward her.

There was not a single smile on his face.

Even his steps looked extremely heavy.

Cole walked up to Shirley and said, "If you're willing to accept a man like Francis as your husband, you might as well consider me. Although I may not be able to give you the kind of love that you want, at the very least, I'm able to give your son true fatherly love."

Shirley cried out tears of joy.

"You finally got it, Cole." Shirley accepted the roses and played with the blooming bright red roses.

However, a thorn was stuck in the palm of her hand...

"Ow!" Shirley exclaimed out loud.

Cole pulled the thorn out for her and forcefully let out a smile. Then, he said, "Be more careful."

Shirley said emotionally, "Cole, to tell you the truth, I really don't have a high requirement for love. I know that you can't love me wholeheartedly, and I don't care how much you truly love me. As long as you're my husband, that means we'll have a home where I can finally settle down. I'm already very content with this."

Cole's eyes were somewhat reddened as well.

He had given his love to Angeline, so Shirley would not be able to force him to provide her with all of his love.

This side of Shirley made one feel nothing but sorry for her.

He smiled in a somewhat choked up manner and said, "Even if our union is not because of love, I can at least guarantee you a stable home."

Angeline had buried up all his love; now he went ahead and buried Shirley's love.

"I'll work hard to be a competent husband," said Cole.

"Okay."

Dawn cutely asked Angeline from the side, "Aunt Angeline, does that mean my mommy and daddy will never be separated again?"

Angeline pinched Dawn's handsome face and said,"

Yes, Dawn. Congratulations, you finally have a complete home now. Now, you have a dad who loves you and a mother as well. You'll be the happiest child in the world." Dawn jumped up and down with joy. "Yay! I have a family now. I have a home!"

As soon as the word 'home' was mentioned, Cole felt more ashamed.

"I'm sorry, Shirley. Unfortunately, I'm afraid I can't provide you with a home for the time being..."

Shirley smiled and said, "I know that. You just severed ties with the Yorks family, after all. But it doesn't matter. I have a house."

How could a noble son like Cole live in a woman's house like a bum with peace of mind? He became even more embarrassed now.
