Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose) novel Chapter 700

The children cried their hearts out.

Unable to do much else, Storm could only force himself to pull the kids into his arms and hold them tightly in place.

Josephine felt her heart clench at the sight of Angeline’s departing figure. She turned around and entered the main hall.

"Why must you force her on the road of no return, Jay?" Josephine stood in front of Jay, tears trickling down her eyes despite her wishes as she sympathized with Angeline.

Jay slowly lifted his head. Seeing the pain in his eyes, Josephine was stunned.

"I've hurt her too much, Josephine. Watch over her for me," Jay spoke softly.

"I thought you’ve always loved Sis Angeline, Jay. I refuse to believe that you don’t love her anymore. Tell me, is there something else going on that you can’t talk about?"

"There isn't."

Jay knew that should Josephine realize anything was off with him, he would never rid himself of this trouble for she and Angeline were best friends who told each other everything.

Josephine was beyond disappointed with Jay. "You men are all heartless people." Then, she dashed out with a huff.

Storm brought the three kids into the room as they wailed and sobbed.

Zetty raised a small fist and aimed it at Jay. "Miss Care Worker was Mommy all along, Daddy. Why don't you want her anymore?"

Despite how a child's fist was more bark than bite, every hit bruised and wounded Jay all the same. Everywhere ached.

"Mommy made a mistake. Daddy's just going to punish her for a short while. Daddy promises, I’ll bring her back when the time's up."

The children stopped crying. "Really?”

Jay replied, "As long as you promise to keep it a secret.”

"Okay."

The children's wails finally came to an end.
