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.

"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-"
