Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 678

Zayne slumped on the grass and suddenly slapped himself hard on the face.

He was feeling guilty and blaming himself for what happened to Josephine. However, things had come to a point where he could not do anything even if he wanted to.

What was left was endless sorrow and melancholy.

When Angeline returned to her room, Jay was nowhere to be found.

Angeline searched the whole house for a long time before she found out that he was in the study with her grandfather discussing something in private.

Angeline sat at the stairs near the study and rested her cheeks on her palms, quietly waiting for Jay to come out.

Inside the study.

Old Master Severe and Jay were at the table. There was a piece of paper on it, and a fountain pen was in Old Master Severe’s hand.

"Old Master Severe, you must have something you want to tell me since you've called me over to Swallow City?” Jay inquired.

Old Master Severe nodded. "There's nothing that can b e hidden from you."

The old man’s gaze shifted over to Jay's legs, and a pitiful gaze appeared in his eyes. "Do you have a guess who would have done that to your legs?”

Jay shook his head.

"In these two years, many things have happened within the Ares family. My biological parents met with a fatal accident while my adoptive parents became estranged from me. My grandfather is just keeping quiet as he watches each tragic event happen without doing anything. I can't fathom why the Ares family has become what it is today.”

Jay looked up with a gaze as deep as the bottom of the ocean. "I guess that everything goes back to something that happened before I was born. Old Master Severe, since you're my grandfather’s close friend and is around his age, I'm sure you would’ve heard of some news. Could you give me some answers?"

"Why don't you ask your grandfather?" Old Master Severe was curious because Jay's relationship with Grand Old Master Ares was very close. Grand Old Master Ares should be the first person Jay approached when there were questions to be answered.

Jay chuckled. "I'm no longer an ignorant child. If Grandfather wanted to be honest and forthcoming toward me, he would've told me the truth long ago."

Old Master Severe pointed at Jay with admiration in his gaze. "You’re indeed an exceptionally smart man." "Old Master Severe, will you tell me the truth?" Jay asked unexpectedly.
