Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 674

Angeline looked at Zayne, hoping that he would say some words of comfort to Josephine, but he merely looked down on his plate of food. Nobody could see the expression on his face. Angeline continued, "Josephine, if you don't go back to Tourmaline Estate, where else could you go?"

"I'll rent a room and look for a job," Josephine replied.

Once upon a time, she was the carefree young lady of the Ares family. Now, she had to live her life like a commoner. How tragic was that?

"Sigh. If you look for a job, you're gonna have to start from the bottom of the hierarchy of the corporate ladder. Those higher up bosses only seek to keep control of their powers and love to order newbies around like slaves. You'd need to serve them coffee and tea and order their meals without any form of appreciation," Angeline lamented.

Jay turned to look at Angeline with a look of pity.

"Angeline, did you do that before?"

Of course Angeline did those kinds of jobs before. Back then, she was a single mother to two children, seeking a living in a foreign country.

It was as if Josephine had matured within a night and said, "Big Sis, don't worry about me. I'll go through it

even if it's difficult."

Zayne suddenly said, "Why do you need to look for a job? Just ask your brother for help to get you one in Grand Asia."

Jay continued to eat his meal with poise as if he had not heard a word Zayne said.

Angelina deliberately made Josephine's situation as pitiful as it could be only to gain some sympathy from Zayne. He could not foil Angelina's plan.

Josephine looked at Jay who had no intentions of stepping in and dejectedly said, "Big Brother isn't responsible for taking care of me, neither could I give him more trouble."

Jay said, "It's good for you to gain some experiences."

Zayne,

Josephine was in a foul mood and had no appetite to eat. She put down her cutleries and said to everyone else on the table, "Everyone, please continue to enjoy your lunch. I still have something to do, so I'll make a move first."

Everyone could see that she was feeling awkward to continue hanging around.

Angelina was disappointed at Zayne's lackadaisical attitude and said to him, "Zayne Severe, please see Josephine off."

Zayne felt that he was being placed in a tight spot and looked at Ms. Thomas who was next to him for

approval.

When Josephine saw that, she immediately rejected." No need." Then, she quickly grabbed her bag and ran out of the house.

Zayne noticed it and quickly chased after her.

"Josephine."

The Severe family's courtyard had a row of Sycamore trees on each side of its path heading toward the exit. Josephine's figure appeared so small among those trees.

When she heard Zayne's voice, she turned around.

"Why do you need to force yourself if you don't want to see me?" There were hints of reprimand in her tone.

Zayne forced out an unnatural smile. "If I didn't come out, Angel wasn't going to let me off so easily."

Josephine smiled bitterly. "Indeed. If not for Sis Angeline, you wouldn't see me so willingly."

Josephine noticed the bruises on his face and reached out her hand to touch them, but Zayne avoided her touch.

Josephine's hand froze mid-air and she faked being calm. "I forgot that you're taken.

"Zayne, I've got something I'd like to ask you. It's been ten years, but have you ever had any feelings for me?" There was pleading in Josephine's gaze as she looked at him with anticipation. Zayne was dumbfounded...

He did not want to answer that question.

Unfortunately, Josephine was not about to give up." Angeline went through so much trouble only because she wanted you to give me a conclusion. As for me, I only want to know the answer to this question. "Did you ever love me?"
