Sir Ares, Goodnight

"Why was he holding me when he left?" Angeline suppressed her excitement and pretended to ask calmly.

Cole recalled the incident that day, and there was still a lingering fear in his heart. "You were unconscious that day and blood was oozing out of every opening on your head.

I thought he was going to give you emergency treatment, but he ended up running away with you in his arms instead-

"Angeline, I was scared out of my wits that day. That was why I couldn't react in time to save you. After the incident, I regretted it terribly. Why did I hand my beloved woman to another man just like that?" Angeline murmured, "I don't blame you, you're timid-"

Cole disagreed. He wanted to compete with Jay in everything. "Angeline, I wasn't the only one who was struck dumb. Jay was also stupefied by the sight of your face. When he laid eyes on you, his pupils were... Were... dispersed. Hmph, he's no braver than me..."

He was still yammering all sorts of things to prove that he was stronger than Jay.

As though someone had injected a drop of cool spring water into the dried well in her heart, she felt like she was coming back to life.
