Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1652

Her beauty was subtle and elegant, akin to fine wine. The longer one's eyes lingered on her, the better she looked.

Amidst many staring eyes, Francis walked toward Shirley while holding a bouquet of bright-colored glistening roses.

"Fresh flowers for the beautiful lady, Shir? And this list of gifts is for the darling baby." Francis’ voice was gentle as water, and his eyes were full of affection. Anyone could see that this was an embodiment of passion that only couples in love would have.

Shirley was slightly taken aback, but Francis pulled her into his embrace and placed his mouth near her ear. He whispered, "Play along, Sis Shirley."

Shirley smiled sweetly and picked up the gift list. She browsed through it, and her face instantly turned embarrassed.

"Rolls-Royce Phantom, Florid Allure City single-family villa, a helicopter..." Shirley's tongue was getting more and more twisted as she read the list.

The degree of grandeur was too unrealistic.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Shirley glanced at Cole who stood not far away. Cole's lips were curled into a

malicious smile. He placed his wine glass down and walked over.

Shirley abruptly placed the baby into Francis' arms and said in a guilty yet bashful tone, "Francis, you really shouldn’t have given Dawn such expensive gifts."

Francis smiled and said, "I'm soon to be Dawn's stepfather, so of course, I have to splurge more on him. Don't worry, Shir. I'll treat Dawn as my own."

Zayne stirred up the atmosphere and took the lead to shout, "Kiss, kiss, kiss..."

The scene went out of control in an instant.

Francis and Shirley looked like lobsters on a barbeque as they looked at each other with crimson faces. On a whim, Francis suddenly placed his fingers on Shirley's lips and leaned over to kiss her.
