Chapter 269
"Master Ares, why is this room decorated differently from the others?" Rose Loyle was surprised.
The villa highlighted simplicity and elegance as a whole. However, that room alone was classic and dreamy just like a girl's boudoir from ancient times.
Jay Ares stared at Rose who had a surprised expression on her face. Subsequently, he curled his lips cheerfully. "Guess?"
Rose stared at him blankly, and her memory went back to seven years ago.
Angeline Severe had a serious car accident, and after managing to survive, she heard the shocking news that Jay was about to get married. However, the bride could not show up at the wedding scene for some reason—
As for her, she used some tricks to successfully attract his attention and make him pick herself as his wife among the crowd.
She had always been curious as to who was the absent bride?
She was the woman Jay cared about, right?
"It's designed for the girl you like!" She could not hide her frustration, and her voice sounded in a very low-pitched tone.
Jay nodded. "Yeah."
The room had indeed been designed for Angeline! He merely added many elements that were in line with current times and suited her preferences.
She appreciated lotus flowers, so he solidified the moonlight of the lotus pond into a painting and transferred it to become an indoor screen.
She liked the color pink, but pink was a color that made him dizzy whenever he saw it, so he could only abandon having pink decorations across the entire room and instead made a few embellishments.
Nevertheless, his clever transformations obviously did not make her understand his intentions.
Rose’s mood at the moment was a little depressed because of the girl he had in his heart.
"Master Ares, if you liked her, why didn't you marry her?" Rose asked, puzzled.
He said lightly, "Things didn't work out the way I wanted it to be."
Rose suddenly felt that her regret of not being able to have Jay for so many years should come to an end.
After all, Jay was a pitiful person like her, unable to get the person he loved.
"It turns out that nothing in this world is perfect," Rose said with emotion.
She frowned, and the scar on her forehead suddenly came to Jay's attention.
Out of the blue, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked the bluish-purple scar on her forehead. His eyes were filled with regret.
"Nancy Bell did this?" His voice cooled inexplicably.
Rose nodded. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"Why didn't you fight back?" He asked.
He knew that she practiced swordsmanship ever since she was a child just to protect herself.
"I forgot,” She answered weakly.
At that time, she felt numb by Jay’s indifference and heartlessness, so she did not feel any pain when the fists of others hit her.
"Hit back next time," he said lightly.
Rose looked at him in amazement and chuckled. "Do you think Miss Bell will appear whenever I want?"
Jay ignored her, took out a tube of ointment from a drawer, and took a seat in front of her. Then, he carefully smeared the ointment on her wound.
"Master Ares, I'll do it myself." Rose was flattered, and she reached out for the medicine tube. Nonetheless, Jay pushed her hand away. "Don't move."
Consequently, she sat right in front of him.
"Master Ares, in fact, my skin is very rough. It'll
recover on its own even without medicine," Rose said with a shaky voice.
"It can't leave any scars. Otherwise, you won’t look good in the wedding photos,” He said solemnly.
Abruptly, Rose raised her head in shock.
Coincidentally, her lips brushed against his, and the two looked at each other.
Rose touched her electrified lips and looked at the dazed man in fear.
She was awaiting the man's volcanic eruption!
"Master Ares, I didn’t mean it!" She was about to burst into tears.
