Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 399

Offending Josephine was a small matter in contrast to offending this divine being. The latter was truly a crime that would easily end with her annihilation.

"Sir Ares!" Rose yelped nervously with her head held down.

She mulled over how he would punish 'disloyal' women. Would he drown her? Feed her to the sharks, or maybe snipe her?

As if seeing through the woman's fear, Jay reached out a hand to ruffle her hair. However, Rose evaded him by jumping a meter backward as if she had met a n enormous enemy. Jay's hand was suspended mid-air while his expression revealed his displeasure.

"Come here!" His tone was still rather gentle.

"I'm sorry, Sir Ares." Rose whimpered.

"About what?"

"I shouldn't have seduced another man in front of you and embarrassed you." Her voice was small.

"I'm not angry at you."

With widened eyes, Rose was wondering if she had heard him wrong.

Then, she quickly understood. Why would he get

jealous if he did not love her at all?

"Okay."

"Let's go!" Jay strode forward with his long legs.

Following behind him, Rose was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. Her heart hurt horribly.

Why did she not feel the relief of escaping tragedy?

On the other hand, Zayne was suffering at the moment as well.

Josephine took him to her villa and had him lie face down on the couch as the wounds on his back were leaving him seething in pain. "Ow!"

"Is he even your biological brother? How could he be s o ruthless with his future brother-in-law?" Zayne was prone to mouthing off.

Taking the ointment, Josephine lifted the back of his top and carefully applied it on him.

"My brother still loves me, considering how these are merely external injuries. He could very well have crushed all 206 bones in your body, you know. Then you'll be left with a mollusk that can only move as per his whims."

"Enlighten me. Why was your brother so cruel to me, yet he won't punish Rose? How is he still so carefree after being cuckolded so badly?"

Josephine replied, "This Sister-in-law of mine likes to do things on her own. My brother used to hate her to the marrows of his bones, yet for some reason, he seems to have undergone a complete change recently. He's become exceptionally forbearing with Sister-in-law. Perhaps he's treating her kindly and being especially loving because she's the mother of all three of his children?"

Zayne scoffed. "I'd say this Sister-in-law of yours is just like your brother in terms of personality. They're both dark and scheming people."

Huffing, Josephine felt the same. "Here I thought she was a kind and innocent woman. I can't believe she tried to seduce you today, even when she knows that I like you. To think that I saw her as my best friend."

Zayne said, "What a match made in heaven, her and your brother."

Having applied the ointment all over his back, Josephine leaned over to ask, "Does it hurt anywhere else?"

"My behind," Zayne replied.

Josephine blushed and stuffed the ointment into his hands. "Apply it yourself."

"I don't have eyes behind my head, so how am I supposed to apply anything when I can't see?" Zayne pestered, saying again, "Help me."

He pulled his pants off as he spoke.

Josephine immediately shut her eyes. "Stop playing around, Zayne."

Zayne merely stated, "We're going to end up together anyway, Josephine. Stop acting so shy."
