Angeline was stunned.Then, tears welled up in her eyes. “Jaybie…”Jay said, “I know you don’t wish for this, Angeline, but this is really serious…” Jay had prepared a lengthy speech to persuade Angeline.Angeline was a person who put the greater good above anything else. Even though she was filled with grief, she held back her sorrows and nodded firmly.“Don’t say anymore, Jaybie. I support you.”Jay was relieved to have Angeline’s support. Though immediately after that, the thought of the farewell that was soon to come left his heart hollow as regret overwhelmed him.“Angeline, once I’m gone, I’ll leave Angel in your hands. That child is extremely mischievous and you may not be able to control her. If she’s really disobedient and makes you upset, then hit her if you must.”Angeline did not know whether to laugh or cry.“That’s your precious baby. Everyone in Tourmaline Estate knows that you pamper Angel. You’re the good guy in her eyes and now you’re asking me to hit her? Onc
Baby Robbie said, “Let me go, Daddy.”Jay said, “Your mother’s right. She hopes you will live an ordinary life. You shouldn’t skip your college entrance examination.”Baby Robbie sighed.Jenson had an idea and said with a smile, “I have an idea. Mommy, Daddy, there are still three months until the college entrance examination. Daddy can take the Ghost members to search for Sacred Land first, and when Baby Robbie and the sisters have completed their examination, they’ll go and offer Daddy assistance. Daddy can then come home after that.”Baby Robbie said, “Okay. This is a good idea.”Jay looked at Angeline, and she muttered, “If your father still hasn’t found Blood Lily in three months, then we’ll do that.”Hearing that Daddy was going out on a vacation, Angel trotted over with her short legs and hugged Jay’s thigh while saying in a spoiled manner, “Bring Angel with you, Daddy. Angel wants to go on an adventure with you.”Jay patted his daughter’s little head. “It’s dangerous to
Jay understood Angeline’s reasons for doing so. She wanted him to inform the Yorks family members. However, Angeline would leave it to him to decide on whether he wanted to break the news to them.Jay looked at Angeline with a loving gaze. Her open-mindedness and transparency helped him feel a sense of relief at such times.Apart from marrying such a wife, what more could a man ask for?“There’s no need to choose another day. I’ll go right now,” Jay said.Angeline nodded.Jay suddenly took Angeline's hand and said tenderly, "You'll come with me."He wanted to keep Angeline company in the last few days.Angeline knew that he could not bear to part with her and was worried about her, hence she gave in to his wishes. Jenson and Baby Robbie said, “We’ll go with Daddy too.”“Okay,” Jay said sourly.Half an hour later, Jay arrived at the Yorks family’s villa with his wife and sons.Grand Old Master Yorks was so happy that he was grinning from ear to ear. Besides, Grand Old Master
Cole looked at Jay who was exuding a kingly aura and twitched his mouth. “I don’t want to hang out with him. He’s a loud-mouth.”Jay’s jaw dropped. “You’re obviously retreating because you’re not as good as me.”Cole was angered. “I’m not as good as you? What else are you good at aside from being loquacious?” Jay smiled proudly. "I'm better than you in everything."One should never compete with Jay in front of Angeline.Angeline persuaded them and said, “Stop arguing. This isn’t the time to argue. Are you going or not, Cole? If you’re going, then at least say goodbye to Sis Shirley and Dawn.”As soon as she mentioned Dawn’s name, Grand Old Master Yorks was infuriated.Dawn was four years old now yet Cole and Shirley’s relationship was still lukewarm. Like the boiling frog syndrome, they both had the same mentality of allowing nature to take its course.Grand Old Master Yorks was anxious. He feared that Dawn would not even acknowledge his biological father on the day he died. I
Mrs. Yorks looked extremely desolated. “Angeline, there’s only one thing I ask of you. If I leave, I want you to scatter my ashes in a river. Famous rivers or mountains are fine, just don’t place me in the Yorks’ land. I don’t want to have anything to do with the Yorks.”Angeline let out a grievous cry. “Don’t say things like that, Aunt Crystal. You’ll be okay. You’ll get better soon.”Angeline’s cries drew Jay and Spencer’s attention. When they entered the room, Angeline threw herself into Jay’s arms and cried her heart out.“Aunt Crystal is…”Spencer staggered when he heard how Angeline was addressing Mrs. Yorks.Spencer was a big old man, and in his opinion, now that Sandra had died, their once beautiful memories and grievances were also gone with the wind.Spencer knew from the way Angeline addressed Mrs. Yorks as Aunt Crystal that the woman was mad at him again.Spencer sighed and said sorrowfully, “Darling, Sandra is dead. Why are you fussing over things with a dead person
Chloe persuaded her as well, asking, “Why bother, Crystal?”Mrs. Yorks said, “I’ve made up my mind. Don’t persuade me anymore. From today onward, Spencer, you and I are strangers and we will leave our fates to heaven. You don’t have to come and see me anymore. We will have no dealings with each other no matter if we’re dead or alive.”Having said that, she opened the side drawer with trembling hands and pulled out a letter written in her own blood. She handed it to Spencer.She did not even bother to say anything and closed her eyes, no longer showing any more reactions.Spencer looked at the letter written in blood and read the firm, unrelenting words: [I, Crystal Sullivan, am voluntarily withdrawing from the Yorks family because I have divorced Spencer Yorks. When I die, my best friend, Angeline Severe, will take care of my funeral arrangements. I have no home to return to, nor can I return to my in-laws’ place. I am adrift and homeless. My body will be cremated and my ashes will
What he was not aware of was that Sandra's death was exactly the reason why Mrs. Yorks was furious. If Sandra were alive, she could still fight for it. However, now that Sandra was dead, she became Spencer's wife. Then what about Mrs. Yorks, his rightful and legal wife? Was she his mistress now? Mrs. Yorks was a proud woman who would only allow Spencer to have one wife. She was strongly against mistresses, so how could she tolerate being one herself? At that moment, in Mrs. Yorks' room. Angeline sat by the bed and gently pulled on the blanket. Only then did Mrs. Yorks' face reappear. Angeline said, "Aunt Crystal, why are you suffering on your own with the anger, hatred, and resentment you’re feeling? You should go and torture that heartless man." Mrs. Yorks stared at Angeline and said aggrievedly, "Angeline, the one thing that I hate most in the world are mistresses. I didn't expect that after so many years, I would become his mistress. I’m unwilling to go down like t
Spencer's body trembled like a leaf. He was unsure whether it was due to fear or anger. The servant continued talking, "Madam also said that she hopes that the Yorks bloodline will end with you." Spencer's face turned blue... ‘How could she be so resolute and ruthless to me? She must hate me so much…’ Grand Old Master Yorks valued the longevity of the Yorks’ bloodline and the number of their descendants. He was furious when he heard what the servant said. "She… She… Even if she hates the Yorks family, she shouldn't curse her own son! Why is she so cruel and vicious?" Cole faintly said, "Grandpa, it’s not my mother who is cruel and vicious. It’s the Yorks family. My mother has only ever had one wish—to marry someone and grow old with him. My dad married her and immediately forgot the promise he made to her. He messed around and pissed my mother off so much that she moved into the parish hall." Whenever Cole talked about his parents' relationship, his expression tur
