Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)

At the thought that Jay did not like to sleepover at unfamiliar hotels, Rose went back to the hotel to fetch Baby Zetty. Then, they all returned to Imperial Capital that night.

The four-wheeled drive sped along the dark highway. In the back seat, the three children were fast asleep; the backrest had been folded down to widen the seats.

Meanwhile, Rose sat in the front passenger seat and looked out the window. The night sky was pitch black and not even a single star could be found. It was just like her heart that had fallen into endless darkness.

"Sir Ares, don't you feel like it's a waste of time to marry me?" Her voice was so soft as if it had come from the wind.

It brought along hints of hesitation and fear.

She was helpless when it came to the unknown future.

Jay's firm voice replied, "I'd never do something that would waste my time."

Rose turned to look at him. His obsidian eyes were glowing brightly. "Why do you want to marry me?"

"You want to know the answer?" Jay's mesmerizing voice seduced her, and she was tempted by him for a moment.

She nodded. "Hmm."

Jay abruptly turned around, and his lips curled upward. Consequently, she was left with a handsome side profile. "Rose Loyle, you can take a lifetime to search for the answer."

Rose was taken aback. This man always spoke with hidden meanings. Her mind when compared to his, was probably like an ancient unicellular microorganism.

She leaned her head against the headrest, and her clear voice rang in the air once again, "Sir Ares, would you give me that opportunity to find the answer?"

She was afraid that he would return to his old ways after they got married and continue to scheme against her.

If that were the case, she had to play along till one was down!

Did she have a choice considering that she was going to be linked to him for her whole life?

Jay said, "If you think that one lifetime is not enough, then use two lifetimes, three even..."

Unfortunately, Rose did not hear any of that because she was still recovering from a mild concussion she suffered not too long ago; she ended up falling asleep in the midst of their conversation. Jay looked at the apple of his eye. One of his hands held the steering wheel while the other gently held her hand.

"Silly girl."

He raised the temperature in the car and drove at a steady speed. He was clueless as to how long he ended up driving for before they arrived at Imperial Capital.

Jay parked his four-wheeled drive at the entrance of a mansion in the city's southern suburbs. It was his favorite piece of property amongst the rest that he owned. From the structure and design to its landscape and interior, everything had been decided on and chosen by himself.

It was quite far away from his workplace which was why he seldom lived there. Moreover, he would only stay over whenever he had a long break.

Jay had decided to bring Rose to this mansion because he felt that she needed to recuperate.

When the car stopped, Rose opened her sleepy eyes.

She was tired and exhausted, but it had become a habit for her to be a light sleeper ever since she became a mother. Thus, she sleepily got down the car. When she saw that it was an unfamiliar place, her sleepiness faded.

"Where are we?"

"Garden of A Diary," Jay told her the name of the mansion.

Rose gave him a sourish expression. Why did a man like him give his mansion such a tacky name?

The mansion looked huge and such a name simply did not seem to match it.

"You don't like it?" Jay frowned as a sense of disappointment swept across his heart.

He remembered that when Angeline was younger, she would always chatter with him. "Jaybie, I have a lot of secrets. Do you want to know one of them?"

In the beginning, he would ask her with interest, "Tell me about it?"

Angeline would say, "My secret is that I've loved you for 2000 days already."

"My secret is that I've loved you for 2001 days already."
