Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 696

Zayne grew embarrassed. "Umm, you already met Josephine, right? How is she?"

Jay's tone was indifferent with a hint of indignance." How else can she feel? You dumped her."

Zayne choked and felt the tips of his ears burn in humiliation.

A moment passed and Zayne fired back with no restraint, "What about you? You dumped my sister as well."

Jay's lips parted. He wanted to say 'That's different', but he swallowed the words down.

"How's the Severe's eldest daughter?" he asked instead.

Zayne replied in a huff, "Relax. She won't kill herself because of you."

"Then what about the hunger strike and suicidal tendencies?" Jay asked.

"Oh, that. Well, the hunger strike was real, but she's not suicidal. She was gorging on food when I arrived. She's binge eating if anything." With that, Zayne fired back at Jay, "Are you disappointed that my sister isn't trying to kill herself because of you?"

Jay's heart finally settled at the knowledge that Angeline was eating again.

However, Zayne's theory of her binge eating had Jay worrying for Zayne's intellect.

Jay hung up the phone.

He sighed deeply.

This entire farce was a show Angeline had put on for him?

Jay felt his head throb suddenly.

Returning to the apartment, Angeline pulled

Josephine to stand in front of her as she asked delightedly, "You met your brother, didn't you?"

Josie smiled a bittersweet smile as she stared back at Angelina's energetic eyes. "Yeah."

"Did he ask how I was doing?" Angeline was beyond excited.

Josie shook her head.

"Did you bring me up?"

Josephine nodded, outrageous. "My brother didn't ask anything about your current situation, Sis Angeline. In fact, he seemed indifferent when I mentioned you. Not to mention he..." Josephine grew silent.

"He what?"

"He wanted me to relay a message. He said you have to deal with the consequences of your impulsiveness yourself from now on."

Angeline gaped in shock.

After a while, she whimpered. "How can he be so cold to me?"

Josephine gripped Angeline's hand. "How about you leave with me, Sis Angeline? We'll leave this heartbreaking place together. How does that sound?"

Angeline buried her face into the pillow as she sobbed. "We're not the same, Josephine. While you no longer have strings attached, I still have my kids and parents."

Josie patted Angeline's back in comfort. "If you don't want to leave, Sis Angeline, then I'll stay back with you."

Tired of crying, Angeline lifted her tear-soaked face. Her eyes glimmered with begrudging.

"I refuse to believe your brother doesn't love me anymore."

Josephine asked, "Then what do you want to do?"

"I still have to test him."

Josephine's heart clenched painfully as she stared at Angeline, the lady splashed with a hint of gentleness and whose cheeks were smaller than orbs. "Let go, Sis Angeline. They don't love us anymore, so we have to love ourselves."

Tears trickled down Angeline's eyes as she fixed her gaze on Josie. "Are you happy with that plan?"

"How can I give up so easily when I've spent so much time loving one person and gave him something so precious?" Josephine replied.
