The Lucky Wife novel Chapter 2021

Then, he proceeded to look at Cole very disappointedly and said, “I poured my heart and soul to nurture you and bring you up into a refined man with good academic performance. But, alas, I suppose bad habits are hard to change. You’re just as boorish and rude as your father!”

Cole said impatiently, “Don’t be so long-winded, Old Man. Quick, tell us more about the secret technique that summons poisonous snakes. What’s up with that?”

Once they got back to that subject, Grand Old Master Yorks’ expression became extraordinarily solemn.

“It’s a long story.”

“Then please take your time,” said Cole as he picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee.

Grand Old Master Yorks said, “Originally, the Yorks were a great big family who lived on the foot of Mount Pearl. My papa had four other brothers and two older sisters. Each of the households had four children, and in ours, I was the youngest one. I had two older brothers and an older sister. Initially, our family lived a happy and peaceful life.”

“The men in the Yorks family had to go up the mountain to gather firewood and hunt every day. At that time, Mount Pearl was still largely untouched and undeveloped, so there were plenty of wild beasts around. Every time we went hunting, many young and strong men would gather together to do it. Everyone was alive and well even after so many years. Although we’d occasionally encounter ferocious beasts and there were, of course, incidents of beasts wounding our men, generally, everything was under control.
