Semua Bab Sir Ares, Goodnight!: Bab 691 - Bab 700

Jay took the elevator from the basement straight to the ninth floor. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, he stared at Grand Asia’s entrance below. The group of people was still there, which meant so was Angeline. Jay frowned. Their words were sharp and difficult to hear. He wished that Angeline would leave soon before her self-confidence got beaten up by their criticisms. Angeline stood at Grand Asia’s entrance like an abandoned doll. She stood blankly, soulless and calm. After a long while... The group of people finally scattered, and Angeline left Grand Asia while feeling disheartened. Tugging hard on the tie that closed on him like shackles, Jay felt himself finally able to breathe. He flipped open the document only to realize his mind was filled with Angeline’s begrudging expression. Unable to concentrate, he snapped the file close and leaned against the back of his wheelchair with a frustrated shout, “Grayson.”Grayson entered the room in agitation. “Is there an

It was as if Angeline had vanished off the earth for the next couple of days, not bothering Jay at all. Jay felt himself grow inexplicably frustrated. He could not help but think that his ruthlessness had completely hurt her heart and she had lost all hope in him. With his phone on the desk, he would check it from time to time. There had yet to be a text or call at all. “What are you doing, Angeline? Are you missing me like how I’m missing you now?” Jay sighed deeply and leaned his head back onto the wheelchair, his brows tightly furrowed. At the rented apartment. Angeline lay on the bed. She had neither eaten nor drunk anything for the past two days. Josie felt her heart clench in pain as she stared at Angeline who was on a hunger strike. “At least drink some water, Sis Angeline. It’s not like my brother would know that you’re torturing yourself.” Josephine sat at the edge of the bed, hugging both her legs to her chest and stuttering, “Why do we have to hurt ourselves

Still, regardless of how much he yearned for Angeline, he had to hide it from Josephine or all the difficult facades he had to keep up would have been for naught. “I heard Jack threw you out of Tourmaline Estate. What do you have planned?” Jay asked. “I want to leave Imperial Capital.” Josie’s eyes glistened with unshed tears. “My parents don’t want me, and neither does Zayne. There’s nothing worth staying for in Imperial Capital.” “What about me?” Jay asked coldly. Josephine replied, “I know that you care greatly for me, Jay, but I can’t seem to convince myself that at all. We’re not related by blood, so you have no obligation to care about what happens to me at all. I hope you understand what I mean, and perhaps leave me with an ounce of dignity.”“So you’re going to sever our ties as siblings?” Jay was displeased. Josephine shook her head in a way that reminded him of a pellet drum. “You’ll always be my brother, Jay. It's just that now that I’ve grown up, I think I shou

“Still, the more I think about how he doesn’t want me, the better I need to live. I just want him to know that I’m doing well. Even without him, I’m perfectly fine,” Josephine muttered. The duo’s response to a breakup could not be more different. Josephine was the type to carry the pain herself, hiding it behind the facade of living happily. She would suffer to keep her dignity intact. Angeline, though, perhaps it was because she trusted the relationship enough that she did not believe Jay no longer loved her. She was set on doing anything if it meant tearing down Jay’s facade. However, should Angeline’s deep trust for the relationship break, she would suffer damage way worse than Josephine’s. Angeline was the type to love without reserves. “I won’t give up on your brother, Josephine. Not until my last breath,” she stated with determination as she lied on the sofa, her eyes staring blankly at the ceiling. Unable to change Angeline’s mind, Josephine could only follow her f

Angeline fell on her butt only to pounce toward him again stubbornly, resembling an octopus with the way she was holding him tightly this time. Crying freely, she reminded him of a child. “Please, I’m begging you. Please, don’t leave me.” Jay felt himself suffocate as she clung and intertwined tightly with himself. He lifted an arm, about to hug her back. However, he stopped as the image of Old Master Severe surfaced unexpectedly in his mind. “The Ares family has made a grave mistake, Jay. One that will undoubtedly endanger your family should such a secret come to light. I’m afraid not even the most insignificant members of your family will find themselves exempt from the impending bloodshed within Tourmaline Estate.“So please, I’m begging you. Let Angeline go.” Jay felt his restraints leave him as he pushed Angeline away harshly and roared, “Have some dignity, would you, Angeline Severe?” Angeline stared at him pale-faced and was tremendously shocked. “I’m begging you,
