Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 996

Josephine let go of Angeline's hand without warning and whispered," Angeline, nature's calling and I need to go to the toilet to answer. Sit here and wait for me."

Therefore, Angeline sat on the bench specially prepared for customers in the shop.

Josephine hid in the dark and observed Jay in secret.

She wanted to see Jay's actual reaction when he saw Angeline.

Jay and Marilyn walked into the store. Most of the time, Jay would hold Tiger in his arms and stand on one side like an ice sculpture while Marilyn picked out the clothes that she liked.

"What do you think of this one, darling?" Marilyn lifted up a bright red dress suddenly.

Jay nodded. "Mm."

Overjoyed, Marilyn brought the dress to the fitting room and was about to try it on.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper came over and snatched the skirt from Marilyn's hand, then sized Marilyn up and down with a look of disdain. At the sight of her cheap fashion, she spoke in a slightly harsh tone, "Madam, this dress costs 130,000. Can you afford it?"

Marilyn looked extremely embarrassed.

The shopkeeper continued, "If you can't afford it, then don't try it on lest you stain our clothes." Having said that, she even dusted the spot where Marilyn had touched earlier.

Jay walked over with a sullen look on his face after seeing what happened.

"I'm buying this dress."

When Angeline heard the familiar voice, she panicked and dropped her cane. She bent over to pick it up, then turned her back to the voice.

Her heart was a mess.

She did not want him to find out about her loss of vision no matter what. She did not want him to worry about her.

She had forgotten the fact that she did not put on any makeup today.

The shopkeeper's indifferent eyes fell on Jay.

Although she was surprised by how good-looking Jay looked, the moment she saw the cheap T-shirt he was wearing, she passed him off as a 'vase' that was merely pleasant to the eye yet served no use at all "Do you have money?" the shopkeeper asked harshly.

Jay replied coldly, "I wouldn't be buying if I don't have any money."

The shopkeeper was stunned by his aura and returned the dress to Marilyn timidly.

Angeline's eyes flashed an envious and resentful smile. This woman was truly blessed to have Jaybie's protection.

Though unfortunately, not all people knew how to count their blessings.

Growing up in the countryside, poverty had blinded Marilyn's senses, causing her to value money more than her dignity.

Marilyn did not take the clothes from the shopkeeper, but instead, walked up to Jay timidly and said, "Forget it, darling. This dress is really expensive. 130,000! Are they trying to swindle us?"

The snobbish shopkeeper was very impatient with Marilyn to start with, so when Marilyn said that she was trying to swindle them, she flew into a rage instantly.

"Excuse me? You're calling me a swindler just because a country bumpkin like you can't afford to wear goodquality clothes? Don't you think you owe me an apology?"

Marilyn shuddered with fear, stuttering, "That's... not what I meant. We can't afford this dress. We don't want it anymore."

Like a dog with a bone, the shopkeeper continued, " Can't afford it? Why is your man trying to keep up with appearances when you can't afford it? Why didn't you say so earlier instead of wasting my time?" Jay's dashing face looked extremely embarrassed...

Angeline closed her eyes as a wave of anger surged in her heart.

This ignorant woman! How dare she trample on Jaybie's dignity like that?!

No matter how poor he was, there was no way he would let her live a difficult life.

Despite that, she showed no due respect for his feelings at all.

130,000 was all it took to sweep all of Jaybie's dignity away?

Angeline tossed her cane away and stood up.

Her aura was imposing.
