Grand Old Master Yorks, the former hero, had failed completely when it came to managing his own family. As if he was experiencing the vicissitudes of life, his hale and hearty body suddenly swayed unsteadily.
Chloe felt wronged and muttered, "I admit that I'm a little bit selfish, Dad, but my prejudices against Angelina stem from my love for Jay. I just want the best for Jay. I don’t want him to be dragged down by Angelina."
Grand Old Master Yorks sighed. "Yeah, we think that breaking up Jay and Angelina is a way of showing Jay we love him, but as the saying goes, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. When we tried doing this, not only did we not bring a trace of happiness to Jay, but we have instead brought pain and agony to him. It's time we stop, Chloe."
Chloe was disappointed. "What's there to stop? He has already taken Angelina away. Who knows when they will be back again?"
Cole rarely saw his aunt looking so crestfallen. Not only did he show no sympathy and compassion for her, but he even gloated. "Didn’t you hear what Brother Jay said before he left? Whether he comes back or not is up to Angelina. Do you think Angelina wants to
come back after how you've been treating her? Therefore, I think Brother Jay will never come back. Don't expect to see him anymore.”
Chloe was hit so hard by this fact that she struggled to breathe. She clutched her aching heart and scolded Cole, "You like Angeline, that’s why you keep helping her and going against us all the time!"
Cole said, "Hey, I'm innocent. I'm only speaking the truth. It's true that Brother Jay isn't coming back anymore. Why else would Jens hate you so much, then?"
He repeatedly emphasized that Jay was not going to come back anymore, and that was tantamount to trampling repeatedly on their already torn hearts.
Spencer could not stand his son’s playful banter with Grand Old Master Yorks and Chloe. He chided him," Instead of worrying about whether your cousin will come back or not, why don’t you start worrying about whether your son will come back or not?”
Cole shrugged, looking unaffected and nonchalant. "I won't fight Shirley to get my son back. It's better for m y son to stay with his mother than with his father.”
