Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2233

Tourmaline Estate, Chateau de Selene.

Angeline and Josephine were chatting in the courtyard. The two children, Angel and Joseph, were playing in the corner. A cicada happened to fall from the tree, making Joseph yell out in fright. "Bug! Bug!" he exclaimed while running away.

With her little hand on her back, Angel walked to the cicada and looked at it in scrutiny. She muttered, "It has no sharp teeth and no claws. It just has a pair of pretty wings."

Angel looked at Joseph, who was shaking in fear like a n idiot. "What are you afraid of? He won't bite."

Only then did Joseph slowly walk over.

Angel mischievously picked up the cicada and brought it in front of Joseph.

Joseph was so terrified he immediately fled again.

He hurriedly dashed into his mother's arms for protection. "Mommy, Angel is bullying me."

Josie picked her son up and smacked his buttocks, saying, "Why are you just like your daddy, Joseph? So cowardly and timid! You should be learning from Angel. She's tiny yet ferocious."

When Josie mentioned Angel's courage, Angeline looked as though she was suffering.

She sighed and said, "Angel is too much of a daredevil. A few days ago, I scolded her for something and she had the nerve to say that she would run away from home. Then, the girl secretly ran outside to hide and gave me such a hard time looking for her."

Josie was holding her belly in laughter upon hearing this. "Your Angel truly is a mischievous little devil."

Angeline lowered her voice and said, "I'm really hoping that she'll quickly grow up and the right person can come along and take her away."

Josie could feel Angeline's despair from raising Angel upon looking at the pained expression on her face. Josie smiled and said, "I've never seen you so distressed when you were raising the triplets. It seems that Angel lives up to the name of being the devil reincarnated."

Angel took the cicada and ran toward Josie before mischievously tossing the cicada onto Joseph.

Joseph proceeded to burst into tears out of fright.

Angeline began to scold Angel, "Angelie, can't you see Joseph is afraid of cicadas? Why do you still deliberately scare him with it?"

Angel said with a deadpan expression, "I wouldn't have scared him if he wasn't afraid of it."

Angeline said, "The more you scare him, the more traumatized he'll be. Then, he'll be more afraid of cicadas in the future."

Hence, Angel picked up the cicada and stuffed it into her bag. She waved her hands and said to Joseph," Look, it's not here anymore. Let's go and play now, okay?"

Only then did Joseph climb down from Josie's lap. Angel stretched her hand out to Joseph, and he ultimately let down his guard as he took her hand. Unexpectedly, Angel had secretly hidden the cicada in her palm. She placed the bug into Joseph's hand when they held hands.

Joseph jumped up in shock.

Angel said, "Look, you're already touching it. It's not biting you, right?"

Joseph stopped jumping and pondered over Angel's words seriously.

After touching the cicada, he managed to overcome his fear. It did not take long before he started playing with it.

Josie looked at Angel in bewilderment and said, "Sis Angeline, as long as Angel plays with Joseph, I don't even have to get extra lessons for him. Angel is making him more and more courageous now. I have to start thanking her for it."

Angeline said, "You've bought her plenty of clothes and toys. You're spoiling her already."

While the two were chatting, the servant hurriedly came to report, "Madam, a teenager has come to visit you."

When Angeline heard this, she stood up in shock.

"Someone from Sacred Land?" Angeline had been dreaming about fires recently. She would feel restless every time she woke up. She had been worried that this was a bad omen.

Sometimes, zero news was considered good news.

Now that someone had suddenly come to visit, it made her very uneasy.
