Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 677

Angeline growled, saying, "Shut your stupid eyes."

Zayne smiled slyly. "If you're afraid of being seen by others, then please be more mindful of your private life."

Angeline used her hand to cover her neck. "Speak. Why are you looking for me?"

Zayne quit acting frivolous and became hesitant.

"You're... Bosom friends with Josephine, so... Did she ever mention her reason for going overseas back then?"

Angeline nodded. Her bright smile was replaced with sadness which made Zayne nervous.

"Why did she go abroad?"

He waited for an answer with trepidation as he looked at Angeline, feeling emotionally nervous.

Angeline begrudgingly looked at Zayne. "Since your heart still thinks of her, then why did you act like you're so heartless?"

Zayne expressed his helplessness. "I've decided to be with Shirley, so I can't be like how I acted in the past, not cutting off all ties with other women. This is very unfair for Shirley." Angeline felt extremely angry. "You're so caring

toward this Ms. Thomas of yours but so cruel toward Josephine."

Zayne had nothing to counter that.

Angeline spoke further. "Since you've decided to end things with Josephine, then you don't need to find out about her past. I'm afraid that you might feel guilty for life once you know about it."

She then turned around to leave, but Zayne caught her hand. "How can you just tell me half the story and leave the other half hanging? You're pulling on my curiosity. You might as well just spill the deets and let me be done with it."

Angeline said, "You want to know it so badly?"

He responded, "Quit the crap."

As such, she slowly said, "Because something happened to her on her way chasing after you."

Zayne's grip on Angelina's hand tightened as his nails bore into her skin. "What happened?" he asked with distress.

Angelina's eyes reddened as tears fell.

"Big Brother, she was raped and got pregnant. Jaybie was afraid that it would traumatize her for life, thus h e forced her to abort the baby and send her overseas to recuperate." Zayne's mind went blank. He could not process any thoughts at that moment...

He gradually released his grip on Angeline's hand and turned in circles like a zombie.

Finally, he knelt and hugged his head in agony.

"Why didn't she tell me that earlier?" He kept repeating that sentence like a broken recorder.

Angeline scoffed bitterly. "Does it change the ending both of you have if she had told this to you earlier?"

He abruptly looked up. If he knew that such things happened to Josephine because of him, he would have forcefully kept her by his side regardless of how he was going to do it.

Unfortunately, she did not know what he was thinking and weakly said, "Now that you know it, you can still get her back, but you won't because you're concerned about Ms. Thomas who's still inside the house.

"Big Brother, in the end, it's only because your love for her is not as great as her love for you."

Zayne's eyes were bloodshot as tears pooled in his sockets.

Angeline's words were like sharp blades that sliced through his flesh, not stopping till it cost his life.

"Big Brother, do you know that Jack Ares uses this reason to claim that Josephine is not a good match to be married to a good aristocratic young man and that's why he blatantly misuses Josephine's marriage for his personal gains? You can say that Josephine is living under the mercy of a knife within the Ares family."

She paused for a moment before she continued, "In the past, you were her objective for living on, but now, you and her parents have abandoned her at the same time. How are you all expecting her to continue living?"

Angeline turned to leave once she was done with what she wanted to say.
