Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1004

Josephine mulled it over and drew out a photo, signing her stage name on it.

She then handed it over to Zayne. "Just one. Take it or forget it."

Zayne took it. When he saw the abstract signature on i t, he looked disgusted. "Why does it look so scrawly? Is this even your name?"

Josephine was puzzled. "If you don’t like it, then give i t back to me."

Zayne put it in the inside pocket of his blouse and laughed. "Maybe I can use it to ward away evil spirits."

Josephine was hopping mad.

Zayne stood up and bid farewell to them. "Since you're here to take care of Angeline, I'm going out with my friends to have a drink then. I'll come and pick you up tomorrow morning."

Having said that, he picked up his coat from the couch, draped it over his shoulders casually, and swaggered off.

Josephine watched Zayne leave with wistful eyes.

As for Zayne, the unruly look on his face suddenly dimmed with sorrow as soon as he walked out of Garden Of A Diary.

He reached out and carefully patted the left pocket in front of his chest, making sure that the thin photo was still there before letting out a sigh of relief.

After getting in his Mercedes-Benz and making sure that the outside world had been cut off by a glass window, Zayne switched on the lights in the car. He fished out the photo and looked closely at the girl in it. Even though she was so gorgeous and seductive, she still could not conceal the innocence in her eyes.

"Silly girl," Zayne whispered.

He stroked the photo with his fingers. When he swiped across Josephine's breathtaking eyes, a trace o f melancholy and sadness exuded from Zayne's eyes.

The sky gradually turned dark.

Angeline was so furious that she pulled out her pillow and hit Josephine with it. "Do you still think of me as your best friend? You actually hid a secret from me for three years?"

Josephine hastened to apologize. "I didn't mean to hide it from you. I just think that I’m making rash judgments. I'm just afraid that this is all just delusional thinking developed from my infatuation for him."

Angeline calmed down. "It has something to do with Zayne?"

"Mm."

"Quick, tell me."

Josephine started talking tirelessly. "When the Ares family was in trouble three years ago, Zayne tied me u p so I wouldn't do anything foolish. I was really mad at him at the time, so I hurled all sorts of abuses at him. I was trying to infuriate him so that he would let me go, but..."

Josephine paused at this point. After a very long time, she said, "Zayne was indeed exasperated because of what I said. He said I was being really cruel to him for threatening to kill myself. He also blurted out and said that if I don't cherish my own life, why did he even risk his life to save me back then?"
