Chapter 1191


    After settling the tab, Hertha turned and caught a glimpse of ric standing a short distance away, his


    brief nce before diverting her eyes and striding away.


    Back at her seat, Hertha''s mood had clearly taken a nosedive, her mind elsewhere.


    Spencer chuckled, "Ms. Kensington, are these dishes not to your liking? Should we order something


    else?"


    He was ted because Hertha seemed quite taken with him.


    Lost in thought, Hertha didn''t hear Spencer''s words. Her mind was still on what ric had said earlier.


    In such a short time, he had dug up information on Spencer.


    He knew Spencer was a prodigal son with a Ph.D., earning a hefty six figures a year, and even knew


    she had spent a small fortune in a single day.


    That snake, ric, had been secretly investigating her connection with Spencer.


    What right did he have to probe into her life?


    Seeing Hertha unresponsive, Spencer felt a touch awkward.


    Thssa noticed Hertha''s distracted state and gently nudged her arm to get her attention.


    Startled back to reality, Hertha turned to Thssa, who signaled towards Spencer, "He''s asking if you


    want to order more."


    Quickly snapping back to the present, Hertha politely smiled at Spencer, "No, thank you. We''re quite


    full. We''ll just sit for a little while longer before we leave."


    "Alright then," Spencer replied.


    At the table behind them, ric had returned. Georgia spotted him and greeted him with open arms,


    affectionately linking her arm through his, "ric, are you feeling any better? Should we take you to the


    hospital?"


    Georgia''s arm intertwined with ric''s, an intimate gesture that he instinctively found repulsive. He was


    about to shake her off when he caught sight of Hertha smiling at Spencer. Containing the urge, he


    didn''t push Georgia away. Instead, he teased her warmly, "Much better, thanks to your caring nature.


    Marrying you would surely bring me a life of bliss. Let''s sit, we shouldn''t dy discussing our wedding


    ns."


    Georgia''s face lit up with unconcealed joy.


    Had ric finally seen the light? Instead of rejecting her, he was weing her and wanted to talk

    about their future marriage.


    It was everything she hoped for.


    Georgia didn''t care about the number of women ric had been with before. A wealthy bachelor like


    him, which one hadn''t had a few flings before settling down?


    As long as after marriage, she became his wife, he reined in his ways, and focused solely on the Reed


    family, that was all that mattered.


    Just as her mother had said, let bygones be bygones. Possessing ric''s future was all she needed.


    Beaming, Georgia sat down with ric''s arm still in hers, tenderly serving him food.


    After sipping coffee for a while, Spencer said, "I''ll go pay the check."


    Hertha stopped him, "No need, I''ve already taken care of it."


    Spencer froze, a hint of disappointment in his voice. "How could I let you pay?"

    Fantastic.


    At the adjacent table, ric''s gaze turned even colder.
