Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 1979

When Angeline opened her eyes and saw Jay, she immediately let out a bright and beautiful smile.

"I was waiting for you."

Jay was caught between laughter and tears. "You're freezing out in the cold breeze. Hurry up and go inside. Don’t catch a cold."

Angeline stood up and walked inside the house holding Jay's arm, asking with concern, "Grandpa and the rest are gone?"

"Mm."

Angeline glanced anxiously at Jay. "Are they mad at you?"

Jay turned to look at Angeline, asking, "Would you be mad if I did this to you?"

Angeline grinned from ear to ear and held Jay’s arms tightly. "I don't believe your nonsense. I won't leave you. I'll just pester you again and again. I'll glue myself to you like a piece of chewing gum."

Jay’s face broke into a smile. "I love it when you do this."

Angeline then recalled something which wiped the

smile off her face. "Are you really sending Grandma Boye away?"

Jay nodded.

Angeline sniffed and looked as though she was about t o cry. She said, "I don't want her to leave.”

Jay stroked her nose and comforted her gently, saying, "Don't worry, I’ll go and get Grandma back myself when the storm is over.”

Angeline made the final attempt to persuade Jay to let Grandma Boye stay. "They can stay in Carefree Garden, Jaybie. I don’t think the flames of war in Tourmaline Estate will reach Carefree Garden."

Jay stopped in his tracks and gazed at Angelina's face that was filled with reluctance. He persuaded her patiently, "Grandma Boye is Grandpa's lawful wife, Angeline. She and Grandpa have never officially divorced, so Grandma Boye has the right to take away half of the Ares family’s assets. If other families learn that she's still alive, can you imagine what they would do to her?"

Jay jerked awake by Angeline's exclamation and opened his dark and profound eagle eyes immediately. Apart from his puzzled gaze, he exuded a vicious aura that could send chills down anyone's spine.

He clearly remembered ordering Grayson to seal off news about Judy’s death and to send her to the funeral parlor silently.

What went wrong?

How did news about Judy's death leak so quickly?

All of a sudden, Jay realized that an invisible net had enveloped them.

"Were you the one who did it?" Angeline's vague and weightless voice drifted over to him.

Jay gathered his scattered thoughts and was momentarily stumped by Angeline's interrogation.

He was not totally innocent in Judy's death.
