Sir Ares, Goodnight novel (Jay Ares and Rose)
Chapter 2103

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."

Cole said, "What are you trying to say here? I've been listening to you speak for a long time now and I think you're grumbling about my mother being unwise when she was young, that she only stood up to fight when she's older, right?"

Jay nodded.

"When she was younger, she gave up your father to Sandra. If you count the years, your dad and Sandra have spent more time together as husband and wife than your dad and your mom. It's reasonable that your father considers Sandra as his wife and stands behind her."

Cole roared at him, "Have you forgotten how Sandra had previously harmed your darling Angeline? How can you speak up for the vile-hearted woman?"

Jay said furiously, "Cole Yorks, Sandra is not the only person I should be hating but the entire Yorks family. Because all of them have harmed my dear Angeline before-you as well."

Jay said in dismay, "Angeline took a great deal of effort to teach me how to abandon personal vengeance for the sake of the bigger picture. But here you are, trying to reopen old wounds. You don't know how much my heart aches every time I remember how the Yorks have hurt my Angeline."

Cole spat out, "But you've lost the ability to tell right from wrong."

Jay said, "Angeline said that a lot of things have their own merits and demerits. It's just harder to determine all the pros and cons when it comes to familial matters, as there's no winner or loser when it comes to this."

Cole was slightly taken aback. "Then why did she persuade my mom to leave my dad?"

Jay replied, "When she urged your mother to leave, it was because she wanted to save your mother's heart from pain. But seeing Grandpa and Uncle so aggrieved, my dear Angeline feels guilty again. Cole fell into deep silence.

After some time, Cole said, "Tell her not to feel guilty. I'll go back to the Yorks family."

Jay nodded and said, "Okay."

Cole sighed again before asking, "So you're leaving Imperial Capital the day after tomorrow?"

Jay said, "Grayson's and Andy's bodies are going through tremendous amounts of changes every day. We have to find Blood Lily from Sacred Land as soon as possible before the unthinkable happens." Cole said, "Angeline is willing to let you leave?"

Jay said, "She's not. It's just that she's thinking of the safety of everyone in Imperial Capital. She has to let m

/Je go.

Cole suddenly showed a bright smile, saying, "As expected from the woman I loved."
