Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 796

It suddenly dawned on Angeline. The love and attention the Severe family had once showered her in was only because Jay liked her then.

Now that they had broken up, the honor she once wore was no longer.

She may not want to admit it, but such was the truth.

Father once respected her because she would be the Ares family's future daughter-in-law as her status would be advantageous to the Severe family. Angeline sighed. "I understand."

She felt upset. "Here I thought that family would always be a safe space for us. I was wrong. The life of the nouveau riche would always be a battle." The old master replied, "It's good that you understand."

Angeline was hollowed out with sorrow. "And I choose to withdraw from this fight."

Angeline left, sullen.

The old master stared at her retreating figure, his eyes deep with thought. "It's unlike you to run away from challenges, Angeline."

Returning to the bedroom, Angeline buried her face into the pillow and let her tears drench it as they wished.

Jay had thrown her away, and her father viewed her with contempt.

Angeline felt herself struggling to breathe as the two sudden turns of events weighed heavily on her chest.

She felt inferior and unconfident.

So long was the Angeline of the past. So long was the carefree and innocent laughter.

She found herself unworthy of such pleasures.

The three children hid by the door as they eavesdropped on Mommy choking on tears.

Sharing a look, Baby Robbie pushed the door slightly open. From the gap, they found Mommy's shoulders shake and heave as she lay face down on the bed.

"Is Mommy crying?" Robbie's expression was one of worry.

Agitated, Zetty pushed open the door and ran toward Mommy. "Mommy, Mommy. What's wrong?"

Angeline immediately wiped her tears away.

Snapping up into a sitting position, she turned to

Zetty with a gentle look in her eyes. "Mommy's alright."

Zetty stared straight at Mommy's reddened eyes." Mommy's lying. You're crying, Mommy."

Robbie entered the room with clenched fists. "Hmph. Grandpa bullied Mommy. I'll make him pay."

Meanwhile, Jenson stood silently by the door with a dark look on his face.

Angeline gulped before pulling the frustrated Zetty and Robbie into her arms. "Grandpa didn't bully Mommy."

Zetty gave Mommy's cheek a gentle kiss, caressing the cheek that had been slapped. "Grandpa hit you here, didn't he, Mommy? Does it hurt?"

"That old man. Old age must have confused his brain. How could he believe the mistress instead of Mommy? It's pissing me off." Robbie growled with fury Angeline's eyes widened.

She could not believe that she had forgotten. They were growing children-children who had already mastered the ability to observe the happenings around them.

"It's Mommy's fault for being useless. Grandpa's just disappointed in me." Angeline blamed herself.

Tinkering with his phone, Jenson took a picture of Mommy silently and secretly sent it to Daddy.

Jay felt his heart drop at the image of Angeline crying as she held Zetty and Robbie in her arms. He texted Jenson back in a matter of seconds.

'Who bullied her?'

Jenson replied, 'Grandpa hit Mommy.'

A cold and dangerous look flashed in Jay's eyes at Jenson's reply.
