Sir Ares, Goodnight

Cole said, "I know this very well. If it weren't for their years of nurturing, I would've completely severed ties with the Yorks family. But the Yorks have turned their backs on my mother and I'm the only person that my mother can rely on now. If I'm not on her side, my mom's life will genuinely be too pitiful."

Jay replied, "One's character often determines their destiny. Perhaps the Yorks are responsible for your mother's bitter hardships, but she played a role in it as well. If she hadn't chosen to run off to be an anchorite after that conflict with your father but bravely confronted him about it, perhaps your dad's decade-long relationship with Sandra wouldn't have happened. Now, she wants your father to forget Sandra. You should know how hard this must be for him."

Cole furrowed his eyebrows. "I know for sure that you're merely here to act as a mediator for the Yorks family now."

Jay said, "I'm merely stating it out after an objective and fair assessment."

Cole furiously scoffed. "If this were to happen to Angeline, I have every reason to believe that she'd make the same decision as my mother."

Jay's unfathomable eyes were as deep as the ocean when he said, "Truthfully speaking, if I had made such a mistake, Angeline wouldn't have waited until she was an old woman before choosing to leave me. Although she's quite similar to your mother, Angeline is still more decisive than her and wouldn't have stalled this for so long. She's surely not such a passive person as well."
