Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2113

Zayne became particularly insensitive and teased," Welcome to the deadbeat men club."

Cole glared at Zayne fiercely, so Zayne decided to consider his dignity and coaxed him instead. "Okay, okay. Stop putting on such a sour face, will ya? You're obviously at an advantage here, so why are you acting like everyone here owes you something? What? Is it that hard to be a deadbeat? Then you should ask if my sister agrees..."

Before Zayne could finish his sentence, Shirley glared at Zayne angrily. "You'd better start shutting your mouth."

Zayne patted his mouth, saying, "Our family already has a man who overly spoils his wife, and now, I'm afraid we'll soon have a woman who'll overly spoil her husband."

Josie pulled on Zayne's ear with a smile. "Then what about our family?"

Zayne bared his teeth and said, "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... Our family has a violent woman."

Josie said, "Now you're asking for it!"

Jay looked at the depressed Cole at the moment.

Perhaps it was because they shared the same proud

and aloof nature, so Jay could understand that Cole was finding it hard to live off a woman.

Jay took out a card from his wallet and handed it to Cole. "There's 100 million inside. I'm giving this to you as a loan. Return it to me with interest within three years, and the interest rate should be twice the current market rate. How does that sound?"

Cole readily accepted Jay's generous aid to him.

"Thank you."

He turned around and handed the card to Shirley, saying, "This is my dowry to you."

Shirley refused it and said, "You're leaving Imperial Capital, Cole. I think you'll need the money more than I do. Keep it. I have my own money anyway."

Zayne became envious of him and said, "Damn. I always thought that my life was the best. I never expected that there's a man who'll have it better than I do."

Cole did not reach out to take the card back.

Angeline extended her hand and pushed the card back to Shirley, saying, "Sis Shirley, this is your dowry from Brother-in-law, so you should keep it as a secret stash for yourself. Then, in the future, if he ever bullies you, you'll have money to run away from home."

Zayne said, "You pay too much attention to these matters, Angeline. You're the one who has damaged my Josie. She's constantly threatening to run away from home now."

Josie snorted coldly. "You're the one who's constantly threatening to run away, acting like a damn girl."

Angeline took out another card and handed it to Sis Shirley. "Since Brother-in-law has given you a dowry, then the Severe family will give you a wedding gift as well. There's two million here, and it's our gift to you."

Shirley almost immediately understood her sister's intentions.

Sir Ares must have prepared these two cards beforehand, but one became her dowry while the other one was considered a gift from the Severes to Cole so that the marriage between Cole and Shirley was decided.

Shirley handed the card to Cole and said, "You heard what my little sister has said, Cole. This is a gift from the Severes. I hope you don't find it too little."

Cole gladly accepted the two million dollar gift to him.

Zayne began to grumble, "Why did Sis Shirley receive so much but Cole's dowry is so less? Is our Severe family that poor?"

Josie scoffed at him. "Stop talking so much."

Angeline was nimble-minded. She deliberately wanted Shirley and Cole to have a good talk on their own. Hence, she looked for an excuse to leave. "Since today is a good day, I'll cook for all of us and serve up a table filled with delicious food. Let's think of it as a

rehearsal wedding dinner."

Jay would never allow Angeline to tire herself out, so h e chimed in, "Then I'll help you."

Zayne stayed unbudged, so Josie pulled on his ear, asking him to make a move as well. "Go and take care of the children."

Only Shirley and Cole remained in the romantic setting while facing one another.

Inside the kitchen, Angeline was left somewhat disappointed and frustrated.

When Cole approached Sis Shirley earlier, she had noticed how helpless Cole looked. It made her heart feel utterly heavy.
