Cole felt inexplicably at a loss. When Jay said that he would move into his villa, Cole was still ecstatic, thinking that Angeline would move in.
Unexpectedly, Sis Shirley was the one who moved in.
Such an arrangement made Cole feel a little weirded out.
Once Cole entered the room, he turned on the tripped circuit again. He patiently explained to Sis Shirley," High-power electrical appliances will easily trip the circuit when they're operated at the same time. Remember to use them at separate times in the future."
Shirley smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Young Master Yorks."
Cole looked at Sis Shirley calmly. He wanted to take advantage of her simple kind-hearted nature to find out the true purpose of Jay moving her right next to him.
He began chatting with her. "Why did you and Zayne get a divorce?"
Shirley smiled pleasantly and said, "Are you interested in hearing my life story?"
Cole nodded and said, "I'm truly curious. How can the
Severe family, the self-proclaimed virtuous family, do such a vicious thing by turning their backs on an orphaned daughter-in-law?
"Who gave such a suggestion? Was it Zayne? Or the one who loves money above all, George Severe?”
Shirley shook her head and said with a smile, "No. Zayne's sister made the decision."
Cole’s expression was in disbelief.
Cole asked her curiously, "Why did she break the two o f you up?"
Shirley smiled and said, "Because she knew from the beginning that what Zayne and I had wasn't love.
Shirley suddenly got up, picked up the fruit platter on the coffee table, and walked toward Cole.
"Have some fruit, Young Master Yorks."
Cole's gaze fell on the abundance of citrus fruits on the tray. As if he was struck by lightning, his head turned blank momentarily.
Although he was unmarried, he was no longer young and had extensive knowledge from reading. He was well aware of what kind of person would like various citrus fruits on a single platter.
Moreover, if Shirley was perhaps pregnant like he expected, it would explain why Jay was adamant about him not going to Mount Pearl. It could further explain why Sis Shirley was staying in Time Villa.
Cole's body started trembling. He then desperately walked outside.
Sis Shirley looked at his back, her eyes appearing solemn.
