Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1643

There seemed to be no improvement at all in Angeline's condition.

The affectionate bond between Angeline and Jay was becoming more and more fragile.

A powerful and dignified man like Jay had always been confident at planning strategies but was now filled with helplessness.

Living across their courtyard was an old couple.

The old man was disabled and sat in a wheelchair all day. The old woman would push her husband out for a walk every day. They would cross a bridge and a street, staying with each other through trials and hardships, talking and laughing with each other.

Angeline could see the old couple chatting and laughing through the glass window every time, and her eyes would be filled with longing when that happened.

To grow old together. An unchanging love that lasted until the end of time.

When Jay noticed Angeline's odd behavior, he walked to the window curiously, and when he saw Angeline locking her gaze on the old couple, he was shocked.

Angeline still longed for unending love, right?

However, she tried to drive him out of her world, so was that not self-contradictory then?

Jay had trouble figuring out what Angeline was really thinking inside. He walked up to Angeline slowly and moved his hand toward her face.

He wanted to touch her face but was afraid that Angeline would resist. When Angeline looked back at him, his hands were so tense that they were suspended in the air.

"Do you want to go out, Angeline?" he asked her.

Angeline did not respond.

If Angeline was not particularly resistant, she would respond with silence instead.

Jay pulled out a loose and thick trench coat from the closet and put it on Angeline before picking her up and walking outside.

The weather in April had turned cold after a brief warmth.

The afternoon sun was warm, though. Angeline wrapped her arms around Jay's neck, resting her head comfortably on his broad shoulders.
