Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 777

Angeline chuckled goofily. "What are you saying, Sir Ares? Not a day has gone by where I don’t dream of meeting you again."

Her exuberant smile ran a shiver down Jay's spine.

"I've reminded you before, Angeline Severe. Don't involve yourself with shady men." Jay's tone grew dark.

Angeline’s eyes widened in indignation. "As if I need you to remind me that, Sir Ares. My mother's never allowed me to spend time with shady people ever since I was a child. Forget shady men, she wouldn't even let me be around shady women."

"Are you still playing dumb?" Jay's tone was dark.

Angeline’s mind clicked, and she knew that she could no longer keep the situation under wraps.

Quietly, she murmured, "What's youth without stupid decisions, Sir Ares?"

Hidden in her words was a jab at how Jay too had done the same when he was young.

Her words reminded Jay of the things he had done when he was young and head over heels in love.

Kissing her when she was down with a fever because he could not help it only to end up with the cold himself.

Visiting her almost every weekend when she studied abroad for he could not take the tortuous yearning in his heart.

Drinking ginger tea with her while she was on her period.

The past seemed hilarious now that he thought about i t.

The expression on Jay’s handsome features grew darker by the moment, for he realized that Cole's love for Rose Doyle was a replica of his all those years ago-madly in love.

"Do you like him?” Jay's hands gripped the handrails o f the wheelchair, his heart beating harder as he asked the question.

He had no idea how he was going to face the future if she affirmed the question.

Angeline tilted her head downward as she replied with an angry and resentful tone, "I'm pretty sure you're well aware of who exactly it is I like, Sir Ares."

Not to mention their close relationship and her falling for him at such a young age, it was only normal she flirted with him unabashedly since she had loved him for both her lives as well.

Other men, however, she avoided them with her life.

Taking in the angry veins popping on Angeline's temple, Jay realized that perhaps he had phrased his words wrongly and ended up hurting her.

"Why are you here in Grand Asia?" He quickly changed the subject.

Still infuriated, Angeline replied stand-offishly, "To bring my sister home."

Jay frowned. "I don’t think my father would let her go."

Angeline stated determinedly, "I’ve promised Grandfather to bring her home, so I will. I’ll leak all his dirt to the press should he try to stop me."

Jay replied, "His scandals are already trending. I’m afraid such a threat would help little with him."
