Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 501

It was a desolate night for desolate men.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in his study, Jay lifted his head to stare off into the distance. His gaze fell on Imperial Capital's most prominent high-rise building-Grand Asia. He wondered when would be the day he could bring his beloved home.

The laptop on the study desk displayed the colorful scenes of the game silently, but the familiar notification of a mutual coming online did not ring despite his strong desire. Jay could not help but feel frustrated. Perhaps she found no need to come online without Josie present.

Ding ding!

The notification of a mutual coming online suddenly sounded from the laptop.

Jay was quick to arrive before his desk. Seeing the profile icon of 'Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber' brighten with colors, anger tinted Jay's attractive appearance.

'Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber' had sent him a short text. 'You free?'

Jay replied, 'Yeah.'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber then said, 'I can't sleep. Could we talk for a bit?'

Jay typed, 'It would be my pleasure!'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber then said, 'I had a nightmare today.'

Jay raised an eyebrow. 'Oh?'

'I dreamt of my love.'

Jay,

His expression darkened. Why was dreaming of him a nightmare?

'What terrifying thing did he do to you?'

'He came to my house to kidnap his sister!'

'That's... the nightmare you speak of?'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber typed, 'Sob, sob. Why didn't he bring me too? He doesn't want me anymore.' Jay,"..."

Why did a woman's brain stray so far from logic?

They had not recognized each other yet. To kidnap her home before that would make him an unfaithful husband.

Jay asked, 'Would you follow him if he wanted to bring you home though?'

Jay hovered his mouse over the button for a while before he finally clicked it to send the text.

'I want to, but... I suppose I would reject him.'

Frost returned to Jay's dark eyes.

He was torn between loving and hating her every time they spoke.

'Why's that?'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber answered, 'I... Don't think I'm ready to face him yet.'

Jay typed, 'Go to sleep, it's getting late.'

'I can't. I'm waiting for Zaynie Green to come back. I can't help but worry when she's not here.'

'You don't need to worry. She's not a child.'

Chasing Men While Lugging A Saber said, 'You don't get it. She's my love's younger sister. I can't help but feel that I've taken the love that was meant for her when her brother treats me well. I feel a need to make it up to her.

'I care for his family because I care for him.'

Jay was shocked. It turned out she was aware that he treated her well.

A simple "because I care for him' had the sun shining through the gloomy clouds in his chest.

Jay stood and walked toward Josephine's bedroom.

He banged on the door.

Donned in a messy long wig, Josephine reminded him of Lady in White.

"What are you, a ghost? Why are you knocking on my door in the middle of the night, Jay? It's scary."

Jay tugged the wig off. "Ghost? Have you looked at yourself?'

"What do you want from me?"

"Go change. I'll send you back."

"Back where?"

"Where your Sister-in-law is staying."
