Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 793

Angeline glanced at Jay, confused as to what he was nervous about. Sitting across Jay, she picked up her cutleries and dug in.

After the meal, she placed her cutleries back and turned to Jay with a serious expression on her face. "I can eat and sleep without anyone's help anymore, Sir Ares. Please allow me to return home." Jay nodded, unable to find a reason to force her to stay when she seemed to adamant about leaving him.

He wanted to send her home himself, yet the words I wouldn't want to trouble Sir Ares with such trivial matters' echoing in his mind had him abandoning the thought. In the end, he decided to have Finn send her instead.

After all, Finn was the least likely to make her feel bad for Finn understood his intention.

Dinner came to an end, and Finn loaded the car with numerous expensive medications and supplements as per the president's instruction.

Jay walked Angeline to the door. Words of farewell and advice that were left unsaid had clogged into lumps in his throat.

He would not risk the little chance of them offending her.

Angeline stopped in front of him and nodded courteously in appreciation. "Thank you for your hospitality."

Jay's heart sunk, feeling as if someone had thrown ice cubes all over him.

His thin lips parted as he spat out a 'You're welcome'.

Angeline got into the car while Jay shifted every ounce of worry he felt for her into a gentle reminder for Finn. "Be careful on the road."

Angelina's lifeless eyes glimmered slightly like ripples left behind by swallows gliding over a lake.

He could spare his gentle words for Finn, yet he seemed to have none for her.

Hah!

Her eyes seeped with heart-breaking hopelessness.

Finn started the engine and the car drove off.

Angeline leaned against her seat and rested her eyes.

Jay felt his heart clench once again as his eyes settled on her sunken and exhausted cheeks through the window.

After Angeline left, Jay resorted to locking himself alone in the room she had spent her stay in. An entire night passed before anyone saw him again.

Throughout the journey back to Swallow City, Finn found Angeline exceptionally quiet.

Finn wanted to talk to her but found himself deterred by her tightly shut eyes.

Finn and Angeline found Shirley waiting eagerly at the gates when they arrived at the Severe family's courtyard.

"You're finally back, Little Angeline." The sight of Angeline had Shirley in a flurry of emotions.

Finn quickly alighted the car and ran to open Angeline's door. While Finn's actions may be seen as gentlemanly, it would be more accurate to say that it was driven by Jay's deep adoration for Angeline-not that anyone else knew about it.

Finn Gallagher was merely providing Angeline with comprehensive services on behalf of the president.

However, Angeline pushed him away stubbornly and shot him a warning look.

Finn understood. She must not want the Severe family to know about her injuries.

The president would surely turn into a worrywart should he know that she was hiding her pain from everyone else.

"Where's everyone else?" Angeline asked curiously as she stared at the eerily quiet courtyard.

Shirley recounted the past few days with clarity." Your younger sister Sera returned a few days ago, so the people from the other side summoned the old master. It makes sense that the situation here seems a little deserted, now that Mother's been spending most of her time in bed. She hasn't been feeling very well these few days, and the kids have also been put to bed."

Hearing her, Angeline's heart shriveled.

With Grandfather there, her father's new family was complete at the expense of throwing this side of the family away.

"I see," she replied sullenly.

Finn began to unload the boxes down from the car while Shirley quickly walked over to help.

Angeline was dazed at the sight of such items.
