Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1001

As if she was reciting from a textbook, Marilyn was always able to answer with great precision. Not a single detail was left out. "Darling, three years ago, you borrowed money from a loan shark and was chased down by them to pay your debt. When you and Tempest tried to escape by car, your debtors drove both of you off a cliff."

There was a dull and obscure look on Jay's face. He could not think of any reason why he would want to borrow from a loan shark.

He hated idlers who profited from other’s toils to the core. How could he possibly have anything to do with them?

"Why did I borrow from a loan shark?" Jay asked with a frown.

"Who knows what you did out there? A few years back, you were working out there and would only come home once a year. Every time you returned home, you would dress up decently. I thought you were just an honest man doing an honest business. I didn't think that you would've reached out to those riff-raffs for money."

Jay sighed weakly.

When he tried to ask more, tears were seen streaming down Marilyn's face as she said with an aching heart,"

I was still pregnant with Tiger at the time. After what happened to you, my parents thought you're a hopeless case and forced me to marry an old man in a neighboring village. I was pregnant, so I insisted on not remarrying. After realizing that their coercion was not working, my parents drove me out of the house.”

Jay pulled out a tissue and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. With a pang of intense guilt, he said, "I'm sorry, Marilyn. It's my fault for involving you in this."

Marilyn looked at him in distress. "Darling, you contracted a strange illness after the car accident and have refused to sleep with me ever since. What's worse, you can’t even do all the dirty and laborious work anymore. I've never complained about you. All I ask of you is that you don't leave us. We’ll stick together as a family forever, okay?"

Feeling bad about having failed a kind wife like Marilyn, Jay made up his mind and said, "I'll go to the hospital in a few days’ time to see if I can cure my strange illness. Marilyn, I won't let you suffer anymore."

Marilyn smiled through her tears. "I trust you."

Jay took her into his arms, holding in the discomfort h e felt in his stomach by force.
