Semua Bab Sir Ares, Goodnight!: Bab 681 - Bab 690

Angeline scrambled to pick up the letter and switched on the table lamp on the coffee table. Under the faint yellow glow, she began to read. “Two years ago, you left without a goodbye. Let it be my turn this time. We’re even now, Angeline Severe.” There were no emotions to be read within the resolute and indifferent words. Angeline broke apart with a loud wail. “What does he mean?” The old master felt his composure crack under his granddaughter’s heart-clenching wails. Opening an eye, he looked at his granddaughter with guilt spilling from his eyes. “I’m sure understanding one letter isn’t difficult for a girl as intelligent as you.” Angeline ripped the letter to shreds. “I understand the letter, but what I don’t understand are his feelings. Wasn’t he supposed to be someone who’s heart is as open as the seas? How could he still hold such a grudge? After— After all that I’ve done to apologize, he’s forgiven me already, hasn’t he? So why is he just leaving like he’s angry again

Even with an inhumane amount of willpower and restraint, there was no way he could hold back the throbbing desire his heart felt at that moment. He wanted to have her by her side regardless of everything else happening around them.… “I’m sorry, Jay. You can call me selfish, but the Severe family cannot lose Angeline again. I can no longer watch Angeline run blindly toward you like a moth to a flame. That’s not her calling.” “I promise you, Old Master. I promise I’ll take care of her. Even if it costs me my life, I’ll keep her safe.” He had pleaded and begged the old master not to take away his right to love Angeline. However, he was sentenced to death by the old master’s next sentence. “Don’t you understand, JJ? Only with her alive would the two of you have a chance of a future together. What will you do if she dies?” Jay gave a strong shudder at the suggestion. “I won’t let her die.” He had suffered the aftermath of her death once, and it was an immense amount of helples

Buried in Josephine’s arms, Angeline bawled to her soul’s content. Jay’s sharp eagle-like eyes glistened with unshed tears in front. He clenched his jaw. He took every bit of pain and regret from his heart into his bones and forced them away, locking them into his bones as they yelled and screamed for his attention. They finally turned into blissful and warm foam that rose within him. Storm’s eyes reddened as well. This pair of lovers were right in front of one another. The fact that they could only hear and not see each other was torturous for the heart of passersby. “What am I supposed to do?” Angeline wept helplessly. Josie started to sob as well. “Let it all out, Sis Angeline. You’ll feel better with it all out.” “I’m tired, Josie. I love him, but I’m so tired,” Angeline murmured repetitively. Jay clenched his fists. He suddenly raised one to his mouth and bit down on the back of his hand. The sight of bright red liquid flowing from the corner of the president’s

Despite it being an investigative question, Jay’s tone was resolute. “I used to wonder why you suddenly transferred the stocks in my name to Jack Ares, Grandfather, but I think I understand now.” Jay scoffed mockingly at himself. “I’ve been but a chess piece on your board ever since my birth. You wish to control me, allowing me to grow in power but only to the degree of which you permit. You’d never allow me more because you’re afraid. What if I manage to overpower you? What if I overturn this kingdom of business you’ve created?“But above all, you fear that with my newfound power, I’ll manage to find out the dirt you’ve hidden away. What if I refuse to join you in this dirt you’ve created? You’re afraid, for I may destroy your Tourmaline Estate. You’re terrified that I’ll end up destroying the Ares family. Correct?” The grand old master stared stoically at Jay. The rigidity of his expression hid away any hint of his emotions. “You’re a monster,” Jay stated, “But what was it

Angeline suddenly huffed and stomped her way toward Jay. She placed a hand on the car window. At the click of the door, Jay’s expression shifted. The next moment, Angeline had removed the door of his car. Jay’s eyes widened. This girl! The wind blew into the car, and Jay felt his blood freeze with every gush of cold air. Stunned, he stared at Angeline. “What do you want?” he asked impatiently. Angeline’s gaze was filled with hostility. “Why didn’t you answer my calls?” “There’s not much for us to talk about.” His indifferent attitude had Angeline instantly wheezing for breath. Sucking in a cold harsh breath, Angeline’s bloodshot eyes stared intently at his as she interrogated, “Very well. All you have to do is answer three of my questions. If I’m satisfied with the answers, whatever between us ends here.” “Ask away!” Angeline asked, “You said you’d love me forever. Is the claim still valid?” Jay, “...” Angeline smiled wistfully. “You said that as husband and w
