Carson pulled Zayne away and reasoned with him. " Young Master is more heartbroken than anyone to hear about Ms. Severe’s death."
Now that Angeline was gone, Cole’s soul seemed to have left with her as well.
In Cole's case, nothing was more lamentable than a dead heart!
It had never occurred to Spencer that he would make things worse. Initially, he thought that once Angeline and Cole had slept together, Angeline would then give i n and stay with Cole willingly.
What he did not foresee was her strong will to die in glory than to live in dishonor.
Angeline’s character resembled Cole's mother very much.
Upset and troubled, Spencer came to a small chapel with a gloomy look on his face.
His first wife, Crystal Sullivan, was dressed in a khaki habit. She was sitting cross-legged on a mat and praying piously with her eyes closed.
Spencer walked over and sat down across from her, staring gloomily at his wife.
The demeanor that made her seem as though she had purged her mind of desires and ambitions suddenly ignited the flames in his heart. He said sarcastically," Stop praying. All you ever do is turn the prayer beads and don't even care about your son anymore. He keeps telling me that he wants to become an anchorite to threaten me. He must've learned all that from you."
As Mrs. Yorks' fingers continued to move between each prayer beads, her neither supercilious nor obsequious voice was heard. "You have so many sons, so you don't necessarily need him to carry on your ancestral line. Please be generous and spare my son. If he wants to become an anchorite, I hope you will show him your full support."
Spencer roared. "Are you taking revenge? You know better than anyone that no woman out there can replace you and that Cole is the only son I'll ever acknowledge. If you give him permission to become a n anchorite, I'm going to die without any descendants, do you know that?"
Mrs. Yorks chuckled coldly. "Oh Spencer, you can save all those honeyed words for Rudy. Anchoresses like us will only find words like that disgusting."
Rudy was Spencer's wife too, sharing the same status as Crystal.
"I knew it. You're still mad at me for marrying Rudy, aren’t you? I didn't even blame you when you burned down our bridal chamber, yet here you are still mad at me. It has been more than a decade now. The anger in your heart should have subsided by now."
At the mention of Rudy's name, the beads in her hand stopped moving.
