Cole said, "Hey old man, let's talk. There's no need to pull my ear."
After Grand Old Master Yorks and Cole left.
Spencer closed the bedroom door, then stood behind the door panel to block Mrs. Yorks' way out.
As Mrs. Yorks was holding the baby, she was apprehensive about arguing with him. As such, she glared at him. "What do you want?"
Spencer got down on his knees in front of Mrs. Yorks and said with tears in his eyes, "Honey, I know that I have caused you to suffer a lot of grievances over the years. I'm sorry."
Mrs. Yorks was in a daze. One must know that she had been with Spencer for decades and he had always done things his own way just because he was the head of Yorks Stronghold. He had always been unwilling to admit his mistakes even when he had done something wrong.
There were tears in Mrs. Yorks' eyes. "Do you know how many years I've been waiting for you to say this?"
Spencer said, "Although I didn't apologize to you when you were in the parish hall, I did coax you and cheer you up. That’s already an apology in disguise, no?
Have you ever seen me being so patient with other women as I am with you? Please don't be mad at me anymore, honey."
Mrs. Yorks said grumpily, "Hmph, you did coax me and cheer me up alright, but you forget everything you said as soon as you turn your back on me."
Spencer was even more aggrieved. "That’s because of the effect of Love Potion."
Mrs. Yorks said angrily, “Don't mention a word about Love Potion. If you really were that virtuous, then you would've been like Jay, willing to lose your life for the sake of moral integrity."
Spencer said in frustration, "Jay is a germaphobe and has obsessive-compulsive disorder, so of course, he’s able to remain chaste. I don’t have those strange diseases."
When Mrs. Yorks noticed the look of frustration on his face, her ice-cold heart gradually melted. She walked over and pulled Spencer up, saying, "Get up."
Spencer said, "I won't get up unless you forgive me, honey."
