Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 999

Jay's falcon-like pupils contracted abruptly. He quickly handed Tiger over to Marilyn.

Marilyn, however, grabbed his hand tightly as a flash of panic went off in her eyes. "Darling!"

Jay said, "She helped us. I should return the favor."

Despite that, Marilyn did not let go. Tears flickered in her eyes as she asked, "Have you fallen in love with her?"

Jay,

"The way you look at her just now... it's different!"

Jay was slightly startled. He was surprised to know that he, someone who had never shown his feelings on his face, had failed to conceal just how much he liked this woman.

He had barely caught a fleeting glimpse of her.

What was more, she so kindly and intelligently helped him out of the embarrassing situation, taking into account his dignity as a man. He had to admit that he found it impossible to resist such a gentle and beautiful woman like her.

Jay looked at Angeline as she stood in the rain. He saw how her green dress was soaked and how she stood there looking like a drowned rat.

A dazed and helpless look was written all over her face.

Jay struggled out of Marilyn's grip...

At this moment, however, a luxurious-looking Mercedes-Benz suddenly pulled over beside Angeline.

The door opened and Zayne stepped out of it.

His charming face looked completely heartbroken. "Angel!"

When Angeline heard Zayne's voice, she felt... despair?

Could she pretend not to hear him?

She had been acting for so long, but was Zayne going to mess it all up just like that?

Angeline turned around and walked in the other direction anxiously.

Zayne strode forward in just a few steps and wrapped a thick cloak tightly around Angeline, then picked her up princess-style.

He complained, saying, "Isn't it just your eyes that have lost vision? Why did you turn back after hearing my voice? Is there something wrong with your ears too? No way, I have to take you to the hospital to get your ears checked."

Angeline swung her weak fists and started punching him gloomily. "What are you doing here? What are you doing here? What are you doing here?"

Zayne was completely at a loss. He thought that Angeline had suffered from shock and that was why she was babbling nonsense.

Heartbroken, Zayne burst into tears and apologized to Angeline. "I'm sorry for coming late. Don't be afraid. I'll take you home right away."

Angeline curled up in his arms and burst into tears. "I don't want you to pick me up. Why did you come?" Now that her plan had failed, the sadness in her heart was indescribable.

How could Zayne possibly know what she was thinking about? He apologized incessantly. "I'm sorry, Angeline. I won't leave you behind ever again."

Behind one of the pillars in the mall, Josephine looked at Jay as he sat back in the chair. Then, she glared at Zayne with deep hatred while uttering despondently," Sigh, just a teeny bit more!" Josephine packed her gears and walked out gloomily.

When she passed by the mall's entrance, Josephine darted a glance at Jay.

She realized that, through the window, Jay's eyes were locked on the black Mercedes like magnets. His enchanting and sharp falcon-like pupils narrowed, seemingly deep in contemplation. The rain gradually stopped.

Marilyn tugged the absent-minded Jay. "The rain has

stopped, darling. We can go now."

Like a puppet, Jay stood up stiffly.

Again and again, he turned back to look in the direction where the Mercedes-Benz was earlier.

Marilyn let out a forlorn sigh. "She's gone. Stop looking, darling."

Jay snapped out of his reverie. When he realized that his wife had been hurt by his 'irrepressible affection', Jay began blaming himself very much.

He reached out and took her hand while slowly walking forward.

Back home.

Jay rushed to the corner of the living room eagerly and uncovered the canvas on the easel. Just like that, the portrait was exposed before his eyes. He stared at the girl in the portrait, then thought of the Angeline who he had bumped into today.
