Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 683

Jay returned to Tourmaline Estate, bringing Storm alone with him.

He had left in high spirits, thinking he would be able to bring the love of his life home with him. He had never expected to return lonely and by himself.

Jay hid away in the study, sitting half a day away.

Storm asked wearily, "Why didn't we bring the missus back, Mr. President?"

It was evident that the president's foul mood and the aura of heart-breaking sadness were due to the lack of the missus by his side.

Jay replied, "As the precious gem of the Severe family, she'll no longer have anything to do with the Ares family from this moment onward."

Storm understood. The president's usage of 'Ares family' instead of 'me' meant pushing the missus away from this puzzling and dangerous maze of the Ares family.

To protect the missus, the president had chosen to draw a clear line between them.

It would be undoubtedly difficult for the president who would be suffering day and night by himself.

Without Angeline, even heaven would feel like hell.

What once was a lively Fragrant Vessel Court now seemed dull and gray through Jay's eyes.

"Storm, inform Grayson I'm going to the company tomorrow."

Storm halted in surprise. The president's legs still required rest. However, if resting the day at home would put the president in an intolerable amount of loneliness, he might as well spend it working in the office. "Yes, Sir."

Jay's phone began to ring, and the melodious ringtone of Red Spider Lily drifted in the room.

Jay closed his eyes, shackling the hesitation and restraint behind his eyelids.

The ringtone ended and Jay opened his eyes again. He breathed out what seemed like a breath of relief.

However, the same ringtone sounds stubbornly again the next moment.

Turning to look at the president, Storm read the resolution of not answering in his expression and turned to walk over to the study table. Picking up the phone, he declined the call.

Then, he blacklisted Angeline's contact from the list of recent calls.

With that, the world began to quiet down.

Jay's balled fists began to unfurl.

Unable to reach Jay through calls, Angeline turned to texts.

The texts started gently.

Then, they turned impatient as text after text flooded his messages without a response.

'Even if... Even if my impulsiveness has worn out your love, shouldn't you still tell me face to face that you're ending things with me after so many years?'

'If you're not going to answer, I'll take back the love I have for you. Every bit of it.'

Storm tapped open the messages icon and hovered it in front of Jay's closed eyes. Blinking his eyes open, Jay shivered as he took in the heart-aching texts.

Realizing that the context of the words was far from good, Storm moved the phone away.

Jay reached out, his thin lips parting to give way to a chilling tone. "Give it to me."

With no other choice, Storm handed the phone over.

Jay scrolled through Angeline texts, reading each and every one a few times.

"Leave me alone for a moment, Storm. Go out." Jay held his head down as his voice thickened with emotion.

Storm walked out sympathetically.

Jay lifted his head as tears began to trickle from the corner of his eyes down his handsome features.

'If you're not going to answer, I'll take back the love I have for you. Every bit of it.'

His heart was breaking into countless shards.
