Sir Ares, Goodnight

Chapter 2648

Baby Robbie shook his head, "Hecate brought this upon herself. It'd be good to teach her a lesson. That way, she'll know her limits in the future." Laurel did not say anything else.

Angeline made Laurel stay in Tourmaline Estate for several days. However, she could leave Tourmaline Estate at any time.

Today, she had come to Château de Selene and told Angeline that she would like to leave Tourmaline Estate.

Angeline requested everyone else leave the room. She then gestured for Laurel to sit next to her. She asked her gently, "Laurel, Baby Robbie has been giving you academic lessons lately. Have you improved?"

Laurel blushed at once. Sheepishly, she said, "Madam Angeline, to be honest with you, I'm way too dumb. Everything that Baby Robbie says sounds like it comes from another pl. I can't understand a single thing."

Angeline felt that Laurel was honest and straightforward. She liked her honesty. She held her hand and said in a comforting tone, "Take it slow. Don't rush things."Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Thank you for caring so much about me, Madam Angeline. However, I come from a poor family. My greatest wish is for my parents to stay healthy and live a peaceful and carefree life. It'd be even better if I could also excel in my studies. If I can't do that, I won't be too harsh on myself either,” said Laurel.

"You're so young, yet you're already so understanding. You seem just like an old person that has undergone all sorts of harsh trials in life..." trailed off Angeline.

Laurel's expression stiffened slightly. Angeline noticed her panic and sighed lightly, "Never mind. Everyone has their own goals in life. Since you'd like to live a peaceful life that's free of worries, I won't make you stay. You can go home."

Laurel felt extremely relieved.

She left the Ares family happily.

However, Whitney came to send her off when she arrived at the gate.

"Miss Laurel, my mummy asked me to send you off."

Laurel thanked Whitney gently, "Thank you, Sis Whitty."

Both of them n walked side by side. Whitney was extremely

disappointed. "Laurel, my mommy likes you a lot. I can tell that Baby Robbie likes you as well. However, I don't understand why must you leave the Ares family."

Laurel chuckled, "The Ares family is a wealthy and noble family in Imperial Capital. Baby Robbie is a rising star in Imperial Capital. I'm just a regular girl. I was lucky to be able to save Madam Angeline's life. I shouldn't hope to get involved with the Ares family. People who stay with the Ares family all have warm hearts and strong drives to achieve success in life."

Whitney paused and said, "Miss Laurel, you're nice and genuine. You have a pure heart as well. Why must you put yourself down like that?" Laurel lowered her eyes and said, "Sis Whitty, I'll bring trouble to the Ares family if I stay here."

Disappointment flashed across Whitney's gaze. She was exasperated by Laurel's low self-esteem.

Just then, a rough voice suddenly rang out in front of them.

"Laurel, you're really selfish. You stayed with the Ares family and enjoyed all sorts of luxuries for the past few days. Why didn't you bring me with you?"

Whitney stared at the man before them in confusion. A look of embarrassment appeared on Laurel's face. "Sis Whitty, you should go back first. I should handle my family's issues myself."

Laurel ran in front of that rough man as soon as she finished speaking. She then dragged him away with her.

“Brother, I'll explain things to you once I get home."

Whitney pretended to leave as she did not want to put Laurel in an awkward position.

However, she secretly followed Laurel after she left Tourmaline Estate.

"Laurel, how can you return empty-handed? You saved Madam Angeline's life. Did she let you return empty-handed?"

Laurel's brother scolded Laurel angrily. "As expected, you only ever make losses. Why didn't you ask Madam Angeline for some money?"

"Is Madam Angeline an unreasonable person? Was she unwilling to give you money?"

Laurel said, "No, Madam Angeline is

gentle and kind. She's a grateful person as well. She's a good person. She offered me too much in return for how I saved her life. I didn't accept any of it."
