Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 789

He felt his world break apart the moment Angeline hit the floor. It was as if the world was ending and he was living on borrowed time. That was the first time he had ever tasted fear.

For that short second, his brain ran wild, fleeting from one thought to another. He even prayed to God and was willing to venture into the nine circles of Hell if it meant that she would make it out of this alive.

He had never expected such a fearless evildoer as he t o finally be afraid of something.

Carson staggered into the house after the effects of the anesthetic wore off. He found himself slightly stunned at the sight of the young master sitting so despondently.

"Jay Ares and Finn Gallagher are rather strong, Young Master. They’re not to be underestimated."

"I know." Having fought with Finn, Cole had concluded that it would be difficult to crown a winner within a hundred moves should the two fight with their bare fists.

Carson consoled, saying, "It's alright, Young Master. It’s hardly that we fight people empty-handed in our line of business. With our lethal weapons, even 100 Jay Areses would still be no match for us."

Cole lifted his gaze and replied weakly, "It's over for m

e, Carson. I'm screwed."

Carson grew nervous. "We've sent people out to look for your Aunt Chloe everywhere, Young Master. The people left to watch over the villa are castaways and inferior subordinates. We don’t have to be ashamed about losing to Jay Ares."

Cole suddenly spoke. "Master said that the most detrimental thing to happen in our line of work is to fall in love. What I feel for Angeline Severe is no longer within my control."

Carson was struck. This was indeed a meddlesome turn of events.

However, he could not bring himself to believe it either. The young master had gone through routine training, not unlike the taming of lions in cages, ever since he was a child. It was difficult to imagine the young master who was disgusted by everyone to one day act like a common person who was willing to give their life to cherish the woman they loved.

Carson responded, "Young Master, I believe Teacher's words were that we're allowed to find a woman to satisfy our physical needs. However, we must be able t o choose ourselves without hesitation when faced with the decision of their life or ours. Only then can w e be the unfettered evildoers."

Cole nodded, desperation swimming in his eyes.

"I made a deal with God when Angeline got hurt. I’d go through the nine circles of Hell if it means that she

makes it out of this alive.”

The fear he felt was unparalleled.

Caressing the side of Angeline's face, his attractive eyes glistened with tears.

His cold heart had completely thawed.

"What should I do with you, Angeline? What more must I do to keep you safe?

"Please... stop throwing a tantrum with me, okay? Just give me some time. Let me clear your path of obstacles. Grand Asia and Imperial Capital will be yours. I'll give you the world should I be fortunate enough to survive this, I promise. But on the off chance ... that your grandfather's words turn into sad reality... I need you to be strong and I need you to live well.

That is my only dying wish."

Three days later, Angeline's consciousness finally cleared and she woke.

Sitting in front of her and watching her silently was Jay.
