However, Angeline felt very puzzled. Why was Jay having such strange thoughts today?
"What did Grandpa say to you?" she asked anxiously.
Jay did not want the Yorks family’s mess to affect Angeline's mood, so he tried to make it as lighthearted as possible. "It’s nothing. We just had a light chat about Grandpa Yorks."
Angeline's eyes widened in curiosity. Jay did not elaborate further, so she took the initiative to bring it u p. "The last time I saw Grandpa Yorks, he seemed to be in an awful frame of mind. Oh dear, so many things have happened to the Yorks family. It must be a bolt from the blue for someone who wants to reunite their family like Grandpa Yorks."
Jay deliberately probed Angeline's thoughts on Mrs. Yorks and Shirley returning to the Yorks household. H e pretended to be casual about it and said, "He wants Mrs. Yorks and Shirley and her son to come home. Do you think this wish of his is possible, Angeline?"
Angeline responded, "Sis Shirley has always considered being with Cole, but Cole has that damned way of thinking. He only wants to adhere to his lousy rules. He ignores her because he doesn't love her. And for this reason alone, he lost his son as well. That pair
would be the most confusing to reunite. But I do wonder, if Cole is willing to live with Sis Shirley and the child under the same roof, perhaps by seeing each other often, their feelings will grow into love over time?”
Jay wondered why Angeline had such an unrealistic idea.
Cole's admiration for Angeline did not seem to diminish over time. The way Cole liked Angeline was similar to how he felt about her. They not only loved her beautiful appearance. Rather, it was more about her intellectual elegance, gentleness, and kindness. More importantly, it was Angeline’s single-minded and affectionate dedication to love.
As for Sis Shirley, although her personality was gentle, she was a little dull. Although her character was tough, she was still slightly timid. How could she even be compared to his Angeline?
However, Jay was secretly rejoicing that Angeline had such awareness. That merely meant that in Angeline’s heart, Cole’s love for her was not that strong.
As such, Angeline’s guilt would not be so intense, and more importantly, Angeline would not begin to have any sort of illusions about Cole.
"Then, should we go and help them out? Give them a happy marriage?" Jay smiled slyly.
He would always feel uneasy as long as Cole was not married.
Angeline's eyes burst with extraordinary splendor of light. "Have you thought of a way to help them, Jaybie?"
Jay said, "I'll send someone over to Swallow City tomorrow to take Sis Shirley and the child home."
Angeline smiled and said, "Aunt Crystal will surely be reluctant to be separated from her grandson. She’ll definitely come to Tourmaline Estate too. You're killing two birds with one stone here, Jaybie."
