Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2096

Chloe persuaded her as well, asking, "Why bother, Crystal?"

Mrs. Yorks said, "I've made up my mind. Don't persuade me anymore. From today onward, Spencer, you and I are strangers and we will leave our fates to heaven. You don't have to come and see me anymore. We will have no dealings with each other no matter if we're dead or alive."

Having said that, she opened the side drawer with trembling hands and pulled out a letter written in her own blood. She handed it to Spencer.

She did not even bother to say anything and closed her eyes, no longer showing any more reactions.

Spencer looked at the letter written in blood and read the firm, unrelenting words: [I, Crystal Sullivan, am voluntarily withdrawing from the Yorks family because I have divorced Spencer Yorks. When I die, m y best friend, Angeline Severe, will take care of my funeral arrangements. I have no home to return to, nor can I return to my in-laws' place. I am adrift and homeless. My body will be cremated and my ashes will be carried along by the tide.]

When Spencer read the decisive letter, he burst into tears on the spot. "Are you really going to be so cruel?"

Mrs. Yorks pulled the blanket over her body.

At this moment, the servant walked over and complained with a cry, "Mrs. Yorks hasn't eaten for a day. I thought she didn't have an appetite but now it seems like she's intentionally going on a hunger strike." Spencer was even more heartbroken when he heard the news.

At this moment, Spencer was not the only one who was breaking down emotionally-even Grand Old Master Yorks and Chloe were having an emotional breakdown as well. They did not know that they would hurt Mrs. Yorks so deeply for thinking kindly about Sandra after she died.

Angeline knew that Mrs. Yorks had a tough character and it would be difficult to change her mind once she had made a decision. Seeing how she was determined to die and her strong resistance against the Yorks, she grew sorrowful as well.

Angeline said to Spencer, "You should all go out, Uncle Spencer. Let me talk to her."

Spencer looked at Mrs. Yorks' ashen face and then at the door. His feet were heavy as lead because he knew that he might never have the chance to step into this room ever again once he walked out. Mrs. Yorks was determined to cut off all ties with him and she would keep her word. Just like when she was younger, she had moved into the parish hall and lived there for decades.

Spencer did not want his relationship with Mrs. Yorks to end this way, so he got down to his knees before the bed while trembling. His tears started pouring down his cheeks as he repented. "Darling, we're both old now. Don't take everything too seriously because you will only hurt yourself that way."

His gesture had everyone in the room sighing with emotions.

In Yorks Stronghold, men did not kneel. In Grand Old Master Yorks' opinion, Spencer was showing the greatest form of sincerity by apologizing like this.

They thought that Mrs. Yorks would change her mind this time.

However, Mrs. Yorks unexpectedly continued to lie on the bed without moving an inch no matter how hard Spencer begged her.

Angeline said sadly, "Uncle Spencer, it's no use no matter what you do. Aunt Crystal's grief is too great."

Jay said, "Grandpa, Mom, let's go out. Aunt Crystal needs some time alone."

Jay had always supported Angeline no matter what she did. Angeline was addressing Mrs. Yorks as Aunt Crystal out of respect, hence Jay did the same by calling her Aunt Crystal as well.

Chloe stared dazedly at Jay, her expression becoming dull. After letting out a sigh, she helped Grand Old Master Yorks out of the room.

Grand Old Master Yorks consoled Spencer, saying, " Don't be too hard on yourself. Crystal isn't going to have a fit at this age for long. Apologize to her after a few days when she has calmed down and she'll forgive you."

Spencer thought about it and agreed with what his father said. Mrs. Yorks was old and had nowhere to g o. She was just mad because he had given Sandra a grand burial as his wife.

Spencer thought that there was no need for a living person to kick up a fuss over matters like that with a dead person. When Mrs. Yorks had thought it through after a few days and her anger subsided, this dispute would be over.
