Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 395

Under Jay's sharp death stare, Zayne's voice grew softer by the moment. "How about you prove to us as well? You love Miss Rose, right?"

Both Josephine and Rose internally praised Zayne for his wits.

Looking at Rose, Jay asked, "What do you think?"

Rose was siding with Zayne, so she said, "Only as a role model can one persuade others."

"Then what do you want?"

"I don't believe Sir Ares can afford to give me what I want," Rose muttered softly.

"If it's what you want, it shall be yours as long as I'm capable of giving."

Rose panicked. What psychological shock had this man gone through?

After pausing to think, she replied, "I want a luxury car, company shares-"

Mischievously, Rose listed off lucrative benefits as a prank as she stared at Jay, waiting for him to go back on his words.

"No problem!"

She was stunned. Raised the stakes of her prank, she continued to say, "I also want the status of Mrs. Ares."

"No problem!"

Rose tightened her jaw. "Then... Could you put them into words and sign the paper to seal the deal?"

Smiling humorlessly, Jay said, "Sure."

Shocked, Josephine began to wave Zayne's arm and plead coquettishly, "Look at how my brother loves my Sister-in-law, Zayne. What about you?"

Pulling Josephine into his arms and staring provokingly at Jay, Zayne said, "I too can give you everything I have, and without all that written contract nonsense. Just say the word and it's yours. Any time and any day."

Jay scoffed. "You'll transfer your tens of billions worth of debt to her?"

Shocked, Zayne spluttered and choked.

With his face flushing red, he spoke, "You've misunderstood. What I meant is that she can have me as an entity in itself."

"Don't you dare touch Josephine again. Not until you pay back that tens of billions worth of debt, at least." Jay clenched his jaw.

Devastated, Zayne removed his hand from Josephine's grasp.

Rose murmured, "True love is priceless."

Looking at Rose, Jay did not know whether to laugh or to cry. These two siblings were mortal enemies who always fought, either physically or verbally, whenever they met, yet that had never affected the strong sibling bond the duo shared.

As far as Angelina Severe was concerned, only she could bully Zayne. No one else.

It was the same for Zayne as well!

However, Zayne was not grateful to Rose. "Which side are you on, Rose?"

Looking at him with disappointment in her eyes, Rose said, "Josephine's a simple lady who's stubborn and serious when it comes to love. I don't wish that she ends up taken for granted." Josephine was grateful after hearing her sister-in-law's remark. "Thank you for caring so much about me, Sister-in-law, I'm touched. Don't worry, Zayne and I are really in love with each other." With that, Josephine pulled Zayne's hand to show off the two heart-shaped rings that glimmered under the sunlight.

Rose made no further comments while Jay's expression stayed dark.

Staring at her displeased brother, Josephine came up with a plan. Perhaps additional contact with Zayne would open Jay's eyes to how true Zayne's feelings were for her. That way, her brother would stop being so prejudicial with Zayne.

"Jay, Sister-in-law, let's go join the banquet."

Josephine suggested.

Sparing Rose a glance, Jay found that she was still staring 'affectionately' at Zayne.

Jay agreed. "Let's go!"

The fact that it was already after lunch hour, coupled with how today was not the exact date of Grand Old Master's birthday, the banquet hall was left with a few scarce people enjoying their meals here and there.

Josephine took the open compartment next to the window and the four of them sat one by one.

Rose had spent the whole way there watching her brother, trying to read his life story from the lines of his face. When Zayne took the seat next to Josephine, she took the seat next to Zayne.

Zayne reprimanded under his breath, "Stop looking at me so affectionately, Rose. Master Ares will get jealous."
