Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 699

Angeline fell on her butt only to pounce toward him again stubbornly, resembling an octopus with the way she was holding him tightly this time. Crying freely, she reminded him of a child. "Please, I'm begging you. Please, don't leave me."

Jay felt himself suffocate as she clung and intertwined tightly with himself.

He lifted an arm, about to hug her back. However, he stopped as the image of Old Master Severe surfaced unexpectedly in his mind.

"The Ares family has made a grave mistake, Jay. One that will undoubtedly endanger your family should such a secret come to light. I'm afraid not even the most insignificant members of your family will find themselves exempt from the impending bloodshed within Tourmaline Estate.

"So please, I'm begging you. Let Angeline go."

Jay felt his restraints leave him as he pushed Angeline away harshly and roared, "Have some dignity, would you, Angeline Severe?"

Angeline stared at him pale-faced and was tremendously shocked.

"I'm begging you, please. Let me go." Jay's voice mimicked that of Grand Old Master Severe's the other

day, deep and heartbreaking.

Yet, it was strong enough to storm seas.

Slowly, Angeline climbed up. Her hair was a mess while her complexion was sickeningly pale.

"I'll ask you one last time, Jaybie. Are you certain that this is what you want? To sever all ties with me?" Her body trembled like weeping willows in the wind-Soft, yet with a shred of determined will underneath. "Yes," Jay replied decisively.

Taking in the strong rejection in his eyes, Angeline could allude to his frustrating distaste for her. That moment, Angeline smiled, albeit bitterly. "Seems like it has all been my wishful thinking."

Jay's heart clenched hard, and he could feel the blood in his veins freeze.

"Don't worry. From this moment onward, I promise I'll never bother you again." Angeline's eyes swam with sorrow.

"You used to say that you'd be my strong tree and that I could be a boneless trumpet vine if I wanted to. You said that you'd hold me tight when the wind blew and that you'd shelter me when the rain poured. I believed you then. Maybe I shouldn't have."

Her eyes were red, tired from containing all the despair she felt underneath. "The tree's gone now and the vine's dried up."

Slowly, she walked out.

With every step, she removed a piece of jewelry from her body. Pearls and jewels littered all over the floor.

Watching her determined figure leave, Jay felt his mask crack and break. His heart cried as his enchanting eyes swam with red tears.

"Don't settle for a mere trumpet flower, Angeline. Be the silk-cotton tree that you are," he murmured under his breath.

Josephine stared at Angelina's ashen expression as the other exited the villa's living room. She met her halfway like autumn leaves fluttering in the wind. "Sis Angeline." Angeline stood in front of Josphine and smiled tearily.

"We'll meet again, Josie." Side-stepping Josephine, she walked toward the doors.

Jenson stood in her path. Angeline bent down to hold him tightly in her arms. Quietly, she pleaded, "Take care of your younger brother and sister for Mommy."

Jenson's hand clutched tightly onto her, unwilling to let her go.

Angeline stood and glanced at Storm who stood by the side. "Please take Little Young Master away, Storm."

Storm approached and pulled Jenson away.

Angeline continued to scramble her way out the doors.

"Mommy!"

Jenson cried heart-wrenchingly out of the blue.

By the side, both Baby Robbie and Zetty stared with widened eyes at Jenson. Their previous nonchalant attitudes were replaced with shock at their brother's call for Mommy. Snapping back to reality, Robbie and Zetty ran out the door.

"Mommy!"

"Mommy!"
