The Lucky Wife novel Chapter 1626

Cole shrugged back at her, motioning that he had nothing to do with this.

Spencer had not seen Mrs. Yorks for a long time. Now that they were reunited, he noticed how much thinner Mrs. Yorks had gotten and also that calm temperament of hers after becoming independent. Spencer was slightly dazzled by her.

Among all his women, Mrs. Yorks’ beauty, knowledge, and temperament were things that the others did not have.

Aunt Sandra was upset when she saw Spencer looking at Mrs. Yorks so affectionately. She started mocking Mrs. Yorks, saying, “Oh, it’s been quite some time now, Sis Crystal. You’ve gotten a lot thinner. I’m guessing life outside Yorks Stronghold hasn’t been treating you well. It’s better if you come back.”

This was a standard tactic of hers, a back-handed compliment.

Mrs. Yorks arrogantly retorted, “I did get a lot thinner. But that’s only because I’ve been swamped with taking care of Shirley. I have to help out with my darling grandson as well. I’m not as idle as you folks.”

Sandra had no children, so Mrs. Yorks’ words were simply a stab in her sore spot. Her facial expression immediately turned distorted.

Sandra was not someone easy to mess with as well. After Mrs. Yorks stepped on her toes, she added further, “Oh, I almost forgot about that. Master, it seems like you’re a grandfather now. The baby was born almost a month ago, yet you never got to meet the child.”

When the baby was mentioned, Spencer and Noel immediately perked up. Grand Old Master Yorks asked, “Crystal, where’s the child?”

Mrs. Yorks said with a stern expression, “The baby has no connection to the Yorks. Do not assume you’re allowed to see the child.”

Grand Old Master Yorks was immediately indignant. “He’s the Yorks’ flesh and blood and will not be allowed to grow up without a proper family. Since Shirley gave birth to the Yorks’ heir, we can make it up to her with plenty of money.”

Grand Old Master Yorks might have had the intention to match Cole with Shirley in the past. However, after seeing how much Angeline and Chloe argued, he was no longer convinced with that decision.

What the Severe sisters wanted was a love that involved no third parties in their whole lifetime. If Cole had to marry someone, Grand Old Master Yorks still wished that he would marry someone healthy and had many more years ahead of her. The Severe sisters were both frail, which worried him.

Therefore, Grand Old Master Yorks was now resolute in his decision that he wanted the great-grandson, but Shirley would not be allowed to marry into the Yorks.
