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
"In that case, are you planning on having two wives?" Angeline reminded him, "Aunt Crystal will never agree to it." Spencer felt cornered. "Why does she insist on making things difficult for me?" Angeline sighed weakly and said, "Uncle Spencer, I'm sorry. You still failed to cherish the last chance Aunt Crystal gave you." Spencer was dumbfounded. "What do you mean?" Just as he spoke, Mrs. Yorks walked out. Her hair was in an updo and she looked elegant in an evening dress. However, her expression was desolate. Everyone present had their attention on her. Mrs. Yorks walked up to Cole, looked at him, and said in a gentle tone, "I'm sorry, Cole. I never wanted to make you uncomfortable, but you have to make a choice now. I chose to stay in Yorks Stronghold for so long because I didn’t want to force you. However, it’s time for you to make a choice." The crowd was confused about what Mrs. Yorks was referring to. Before Mrs. Yorks said anything else, Cole blurted out, "I
Jenson and Baby Robbie took Angel for a walk in the courtyard. When they saw Mrs. Yorks and Cole Yorks leaving with sad faces, Baby Robbie shook his head and sighed. "I knew something was going to happen the moment Granduncle Spencer wanted to have a big funeral for Sandra." Jenson's face sank, and he said in a very uneasy tone, "Sandra has been dead for so long but Grandma Crystal only chose to take action today. I'm afraid this is Mommy's doing." Baby Robbie laughed and said, "Grandma Crystal has been in bed for so long. It must’ve been Mommy who persuaded her to stop wasting her time pretending to be sick. Instead, she told Grandma Crystal to be a fighter. The Yorks family had it coming." Jenson glanced at Baby Robbie with a cheeky smile on his face. "Aren't you afraid that the bandits of the Yorks family will be upset with Mommy?" Baby Robbie took out the Yorks family’s seal and said, "With this, they would never dare retaliate against Mommy." Jenson shook his head.
After hearing the story, Jay exclaimed, "What a tough woman!" Baby Robbie asked him, "Daddy, who do you think is tougher? Mommy or Yasmin Cohen?" Jay remembered the time when Angeline was on Mount Pearl and chose to run away from home. If he had not begged her to stay and she just so happened to be sick and needed him, Jay was not sure if Angeline would still be by his side. Jay felt cold chills just thinking about it. It turned out that Angeline was taking reference from a pioneer like Yasmin Cohen. People like that would not compromise when it came to love. They knew to walk away when it was time. That was why Angeline had persuaded Aunt Crystal to leave Uncle Spencer. When they got back to Château de Selene, Baby Robbie said to Jay anxiously, "Daddy, please clear all misunderstandings with Mommy before you leave Imperial Capital. You’ll be separated for a while after this and I don’t want any cracks in your relationship with Mommy." Jay gently touched Baby Robbie's
Angeline snatched the keyboard from him and said bashfully, “A man only kneels to God and their parents. Meanwhile, you’re kneeling to your wife. Are you not afraid of getting laughed at?”Jay smiled at her uninhibitedly and said, “As long as you’re happy, I don’t mind if others laugh at me.”Angeline was utterly moved by this as Jay would often consider her feelings at all times. She hugged him even tighter because she was so touched by him. Then, she pressed her face against his chest. Her eyes were filled with the unwillingness to part from him.“When are you leaving, Jaybie?”“You decide for me,” said Jay softly.Angeline replied, “I will not.”Jay was smiling. “Can’t bear to let me go?”“Yeah.” Jay hugged her tenderly and said, “I’ll come back as fast as I can.”Angeline finally made up her mind and replied, “Then… you should go as soon as possible so that you can come back sooner.”Jay said, “I’ll leave the day after tomorrow, okay?”“Okay,” said Angeline as she nodde
