Grand Old Master Ares examined closely Jay's handsome but impassive face. Jay was piqued when Rose's name was mentioned, though he remained emotionless, which showed that he still rejected
Rose's existence.
"Sigh!" Grand Old Master Ares was suddenly melancholic. "You can't seem to ever forget about her, can you?"
An almost imperceptible, yet persistent shadow appeared on Jay's impassive face.
A long time later, he nodded very slightly. "I owe her a lot. Those words that I had said to her when we were children, she had treated them seriously. I didn't respond to her advances... If I knew that she would end her life that way, I would have told her that the promise I made to marry her is the most truthful and honest promise that I have made in my life."
Grand Old Master Ares nodded. "I believe you. You love Angeline from the bottom of your heart. She is a good girl, and I have also thought that only her intelligence and beauty could match you.
Unfortunately, fate is cruel!"
When Angeline Severe's name was mentioned, a hint o f a warm smile appeared on Jay's cold face.
Angeline Severe held an irreplaceable position in
Jay's heart. She was both gentle and strong, both restrained and wild, and both sensitive and mischievous. She could make him laugh loudly or anger him into silence.
Unfortunately, that perfect girl met with an accident when she was driving on the highway from Swallow City to Imperial Capital. At the time of her death, she was clutching his photograph in her hand. Some people conjectured that she had died because of unrequited love.
Jay's hollow gaze suddenly sharpened with rage. They burned with a fire that could consume the rest of his body.
Grand Old Master Ares spoke, pulling back his wandering thoughts. "Let the dead rest in peace, Jay. You can't keep on mourning her forever. You should walk out of your sorrow and make yourself forget about her. At least do that for Jenson and Robbie."
