Semua Bab Sir Ares, Goodnight!: Bab 1011 - Bab 1020

Seeing that he did not utter a single word even after she had reproached him for quite some time, Marilyn sat next to him and covered her face while weeping.She then started another round of self-pitying. "Oh, what a miserable life this is! I thought I could count on you to live a slightly better life, but here you are, acting so cold-hearted and indifferent. I put all my heart and soul into treating you kindly, yet I still can’t warm that heart of yours. We have been husband and wife for so many years, but you still refuse to sleep with me?”Her cries made Jay extremely distraught. "Should we get a divorce, Marilyn?"Marilyn's cries came to an abrupt stop.She widened her large eyes, glaring at Jay in horror and disbelief. "I knew it. You’re seeing someone out there. That’s why you’re all independent and ready to take off on your own, aren’t you? You’re trying to get rid of me so you can be with someone else, am I right?”Jay explained with a weak voice. "No. I just don’t want y

On the bench in a garden in the middle of the street, Jay sat forlornly as he stared at the cars and bustling crowd. He felt isolated from the world.He no longer had the power to keep fighting.He no longer had the power to keep on living.He was even starting to have doubts. What was it that motivated him to keep on living when he survived the car crash back then?Living was, to him, an extremely dull and boring thing.When it was about nine o'clock, he slowly made his way to Horizon Colors."Mr. Ben." On the balcony, Baby Zetty cried out with excitement and flailed her arms when she saw Jay.Jay raised his eyelids and saw Angeline and Baby Zetty wearing matching dresses—both of them looked like ethereal fairies.Both mother and daughter let out resplendent smiles when they stared at him.The heavy clouds hanging over Jay’s head seemingly dissipated and he gave them a knowing smile.Angeline and Baby Zetty bolted downstairs to greet him. The cold treatment Jay received from

Angeline pulled his hands over without warning and placed them on the piano keys in front of her. Then, she covered his fingers with her tiny hands and pressed hard on the keys, producing a heart-rendering tune.Angeline sang The Soul Of The Sun Never Sets for him.He had written the lyrics of this song when he founded Grand Asia back then to encourage himself when he was at the peak of glory.‘When I was young, I broke through brambles and thorns,‘Sailed thousands of miles,‘Just to take you to the peak of glory,‘and return with a young heart.’A wave of emotions surged through Jay as he listened to this song. All he could think of at this moment was the absurdity of his negative perceptions earlier.He was worried and in distress because he was not strong enough.If he could just be like the young man in the song and overcome all obstacles, be all-powerful, and realize his grand ambitions, he would then be happy.Angeline said with a smile, "If you sing this song yourself

Apart from not being able to sleep in the same room as her, Ben was practically flawless.In comparison, the man in front of her went dining, wining, whoring, and gambling. Whenever he lost money, he would beat her up. She must have been blind back then to marry him."Why did you come back?" she asked coldly.Like pliers, the man squeezed her chin with his hands and said viciously, "Are you avoiding me because I’ve been to jail, Marilyn?”Furious, the man pushed her onto the courtyard wall and pressed his body against hers roughly. "Tell me, are you in love with that wild man you picked up?"When Marilyn made no reply, the man rolled up her skirt in anger.Marilyn hissed. “Are you crazy? Do you know where this is? How dare you—”"I’m doing this with my woman, is there a problem?”When the unspeakable act ended, Marilyn slumped on his body.The man squeezed her fair and tender face with satisfaction. "Marilyn, you’ll be mine and mine alone. I don't care if you have feelings for

When Jay came out of the shower, he found Marilyn sitting on his bed.Startled, Jay slowly furrowed his brows.Marilyn patted the empty bed and called out softly. "I get it now, darling. Since we’re husband and wife, I won’t complain about your illness when you’re sick. I’ll sleep next to you every day from now on, and maybe someday, you’ll get used to this physical intimacy and your illness will heal even without any medication.”When Jay’s gaze fell on Marilyn’s swarthy arms, his stomach started churning uncontrollably. He endured the pain with a frown and shuffled over.Marilyn embraced him tightly. She called out in a soft and mushy voice as if her entire body was being burned by a blazing fire."I feel so uncomfortable, darling," She seduced him in a mellow and sultry voice.Jay remained silent as he tried to endure the increasingly sickening feeling in his stomach.Eventually, he pulled her hands away without any mercy. "You know I can’t, Marilyn, so why are you doing th
